For those who don`t get the problem with red scrips...

You have absolutely no idea how forefront crafters work, do you?



In case you don't know, those happen to be GSM, CRP, and BSM crafts, and I can confidently say I can HQ any other 2 star. Yet, no one is going to ask me to craft stuff. You know why? Because no one has mats.

And before you comment on the prices, you're free to ignore them because I have no intention of actually selling them. I simply can't use them yet.

And i never said it will happen now, but later. Of course nobody is going to ask you, because right now your chances are basically the same as everyone.
This changes when you equipped yourself with the 2 star stuff and your client aint.

And nice dedication there to farm all those favors

Going by the prices right now mats cost at max 20 million, its still alot but no way 300 mil, ppl overreacting again

How many people do you think have even 20 mill to casually throw at a single craft?

Basically everyone whos crafting themself a 2 star item right now. Mats worth 20 mil =/= spending 20 mil since youll prolly farm them

Which is part of the whole problem people have been trying to express with this system. As it stands, this grind is financially daunting for anyone just starting out, not as well equipped, or those who never really crafted for profit. Considering the system was touted as an option for more casual-minded crafters to gear up and participate without the high set up costs...it's doing a poor job of achieving that.

Never did i disagree on that, i was just making a point to DarthBuzzer that hes not as limited as he makes it out to be.
There will always be friends, friend of friends, FC Members who needs something crafted because they only have a leatherdealer @60 and want the main hand or whatever

If you count the mats you can craft 11 items a week that should be enough excitement for the week.

Your opinion is rather uninformed.

With crafting scrips locked at 450 a week and a chest piece for example costing 300 scrips to make. Therefore you can make 1.5 chest pieces per week.

I have no idea where this magical number of "11" came from, but it seems like you just made it up. ( If we actually were limited to getting mats for 11 crafts per week, there would actually be far far less fuss about it!)


A lot of battle class only players rely on crafters for supplying the mats etc for their gears (i.e. big demand), but your there suck being able to make 1 or 2 items a week max and if you want to gear you crafters, then you cant spare a single item for months and months.

9 comes from crafting the scrip mats, since they are basically the same difficulty as the main craft and hes only in for the excitement of the craft.

Who finds crafting an Ingot fun?

If someone complains about not having enough difficult crafts per week and the ingots have the same difficulty as the other 2 star stuff, then yes i count the ingots into the difficult crafts.
Also you need 200 scrips per chest piece

Your counting is wrong...
