Yellow Scrip gear

[tayler1480]

This always bugged me, and leaves me thinking how well people understand the concept of opportunity cost. Right now it is 44 yellow scripts (max) per Twinsilk Sash of Casting, this takes 7 twinthread or 28 twincoons. now it is 1300 for tool, 400 for hat, 900 for body, 400 for hands, 350 for legs, 350 for feet, total 3700, you would need to craft 85 of these things for the set, 85 times 28= 2380, now if we assume an average of 5 items gained every 20 seconds with self gathering, that is 9520 seconds, that is about 2.5 hours, then to craft a thread it is about 15 seconds, since it seems quick synth would break a lot if you are in the process of gearing, so then it is 9 synths, because 7 for the threads, plus 2 more to make the cloths, to do that 85 times is 11475 seconds or 3 hours, so to gather the threads and craft them yourself (this neglects the Grade 1 Reisui of Intelligence stuff) you are looking at 5+ hours of work, in this time you could make something in 30 seconds or so and sell it for 100k+, it is far cheaper to meld the i290 stuff, even as "free" you are losing money from crafting something that you could be selling in the time it takes you 5+ hours to do. You did not do 3 sets for free, in 2 hours, it is not mathematically possible. It is not even possible do that with one set for "free" You make WAY more money with the i290 set and penta melding them. (Plus better stats)

The yellow script gear is not worth the effort, time, or money (if you buy all the materials) to make. SE really needs to really analyze what they implement.

Your wrong!!! Sorry, I'm just kidding. I completely agree. People moan about spending about 2-3m for a full ilvl 290 set then gather & waste that amount on mats just to e.g. craft 1 yellow crafter scrip top that can only be used by 1 of 8 crafters (Varies by server ofc). Gathering mats isn't free, it takes time & even then you could sell those mats you were going to use to get yellow crafter scrips on the market board & e.g. buy a full crafting set or mats to try & make your own which should be even cheaper.

On my server I could penta-meld a ilvl 290 set (grade 5s/4s) for about the same it'd cost to get 1 of the 8 yellow scrip crafting set.
