    Why did the latest patch randomly increase the cost of Facet Mail of Fending?

    Apropos of nothing, Patch 5.08 randomly increased the materials needed for Facet Mail of Fending from 2 Tungsten Steel Ingots to 3 ingots, thereby increasing the overall cost significantly. The 3rd ingot replaced one Deepgold Nugget. For comparison, all other Facet body and pants pieces require four 2* materials and one non-2* material to make, plus two Grade 2 Alkahest. Now, Facet Mail of Fending requires five 2* materials, which is higher than any other piece, including the Facet Chain Hose of Fending. What gives?

    I assume it might be because it has no leather ingredients. Leather takes twice the amount of goethica then ingots or cloth.

    I just checked the recipe and it says 2 tungsten ingots, 1 prismatic ingot, 1 ethereal silk, 1 deepgold nugget, and 2 alkhests. It is in line with the other armors now, so you may be confusing it with the mail of maiming which does use 3 tungsten ingots because it lacks the 1 silk.
