lets talk about the unbalance Palm Sugar

[Doctor-]

I feel like palm sugar is a little too redundant/exhausting as a material. would it be possible to change it to 4 fire crystals and 3 syrup for 6 sugar rather then 6 syrup for 3 sugars or keep it 6 for 4 additionally the recipe that you make with this is a material loss regardless what is the point of it making x3 when the recipe itself (much needed for collectible) is still x3 for x1

Overall when I am playing crafter and doing collectible to meld material using culinarian I am starting to loathe Palm Syrup > Sugar the fact I need to gather almost 600 syrups for x99 Sugar crafts is an extreme time effort. Maybe that is why the price does not go down much because it's a hassle item.

That's only 1 more per craft than we would have been gathering under prior expansion systems (used to be 5 to craft 3 for intermediate CUL materials). Considering Gatherer's Boon drops a lot more raw materials into our laps than we got in the past, it's fair trade-off as a time consideration.

Price isn't going down because it's still start of expansion and demand is still high as players are continuing to level. We'll start seeing the price drop around mid to end of January.
