I had mine done months ago, and almost half way done on another weapon (10,10,8, 9). It's really not that bad OP.

If they do nerf it though,l I would appreciate them to cut the amount of mats needed in half, rather than the cost. Granted, I think it would be the same outcome in the end, but still.

(there are also other ways to get the items than tomes BTW)
