The Allagan nuggets are easy to get, and I, for one, am happy at the low cost. Makes the ingredients lower in cost to make (but I mean hey, you still need 5 of them for each piece of wootz armor) On Ultros, last I checked, they weren't selling for less depspite cheaper mats. all of the i110 gear was selling from 5mil-10mil. I'm aaaalmost ready to start crafting them. I am glad knowing the mats are cheaper / it will make my craft more relevant.

It's very anti-climatic as well, that as a BSM, you go through all that work, and your ONLY 4* Recipe is an ingot used by Armorer. The jobs who made out well are WVR/LTW. Between those two you can make the most full sets of gear, and they are currently selling like hotcakes @ 25mil/set.

Lemme list you the prices on Balmung:
Allagan wootz nugget. 15k-12k 68 on market
Allagan leather. 140k and 25 on market
Allagan silk. 160k and 28 on market

Now here's the thing all of them are easily obtained in T4 yes, but how come the nugget is the only one that is way cheap? am not saying it should be higher or anything am actually glad for it but it just pisses me off a bit.

I think SE screwed something up with the drop rates and made the nugget a really high chance because to be honest even if we assume that these nuggets are coming off Armorer desynth then it would be the same rate as the Allagan silk because you get like two wvr belts 1 body and 1 legs from there you can desynth as a wvr and dont forget 2.4 is like the WVR/LTW haven in leveling its desynth lol.
