We need a mercy rule.

they are cheap, aether sand in NQ is worthless, folklore items in NQ are worthless, demimateria are worthless, everything is worthless except the red scrip items, which cost probably 2m all together. Given the fact that you get them back for every NQ try makes it incredible cheap to HQ everything without expenses

NQ Aethersands and Folklore items being worthless is a design flaw. Makes me wonder what they devs were smoking when they chose to have the materials used for only these items. Only folklore mats that are useful NQ are the ones used for food and Astral Oil and only because it's not much of a loss if you NQ those recipes as a result.

Honestly, I wouldn't say it's fine as is. 4* crafting was a far better design. 2* crafting is total shit no matter what angle you look at it from.
