How many of us can be bothered with the endgame crafting

[Sibyll]

It's convoluted enough that every time I get the crafting itch and think "Maybe I'll give it a try," I look at the requirements to get the mats and shrug and give up again. As a main ALC, I can't even be sure anyone will buy any Grade 2 Dissolvents, which makes it incredibly hard to justify the effort.

They should've just made the Grade 1/2 Dissolvents a single material, like terminus putty was, then they could've applied it to non-combat classes too. Making 5 different versions of effectively the same thing splits the market up too much. Alchemy is one of my specialists as well and it's the most useless currently because no one will buy the overpriced i180 gear, at least not for a price that makes it worth crafting.

I'd like to craft, but there are so many other things I'd rather do than gather nodes for 5 hrs.
