    to hard to lvl on steel and mythril(fix suggestion)

    There is a certain imbalance to the crafting system. Mythril has a horrible drop rate and steel needs bomb ash. These 2 factors make it much more costly then lvling on there higher lvl counter part cobalt.

    how to fix:
    increase mythril drop rate for mining
    sell bomb ash at npcs


    please hot-fix this instead of waiting for the 3 month patches as usual.

    EDIT: since these lower lvl recipes are harder to produce then the higher lvl ones the gear becomes more expensive to make. If you choose to buy bomb ash from the wards then youll pay around 3k gil for it. A piece of cobalt ore is only about 1500gil. So since the lower lvl recipes cost more i would never consider producing them for selling at the wards. this only hurts the low to mid lvl players who have to pay more for thier gear then they should have to.

    the title says hard to lvl on...but thats not my main point.
    iron drop=rate good
    steel= need to farm bomb ash which takes extra time
    mythril= bad drop rate
    cobalt= good drop rate

    having the 2 hardest mats to acquire/synth in the middle lvls make the mid lvl gear cost more to produce. That is not good economic balance. this is the main reason it should be fixed. Bomb ash should be readily available and mythril should be = to iron +cobalt. I know that we can make do with what we have now but its just now good economic balance.

    Note: someone mentioned the possibility of adding bomb ash to mining, i like this idea. Also maybe a synth to extract bomb ash from brimstone.
