Far too less materials for Master recipes

[kidknee]

I am surprised with the quantity of legendary ores being used to make mats for master recipes is so low.
You need 4x lunar adamantite ore for 1 lunar adamantite ingot. (same as Shb)
Given the change to perception stat in EW and the bloating of quantity of ores available, the master recipes should have demanded higher quantity of ores for 1 ingot. Like maybe 6 or 8.
This probably has crashed the prices down by a lot after patch, since now nobody needs it, but many people have a lot of it. I could say the same for the new aethersands as well ... given how easy it is now to farm them now, their prices will be fairly low.
I hope this doesnt continue on. Or else ill lose interest in crafting.
thoughts??

These items have always been low. Attributed both to how obscenely good these items are for spiritbonding, and given that they're pre-released. They were materials that had no prior use. SB and ShB had the same trend over on Chaos. In fact I recall Rhea and co. just prior to the raid patch going for 300-400gil a piece.

The yield you can get per node now certainly is a contributing factor, but it's very minor. The price crashes largely attributed to everything being pre-released. Something that many players have grown knowledgeable of. Giving people a 4 week head start on preparing items will always result in obscene price drops, especially with the already non-existent difficulty in crafting in the first place. The only real thing that crafters had to do was login, unlock master recipe books (which you can prepare turnins for in advance) and then buy tome items and craft away.

It's much more of an issue in this patch than it is in future patches. Don't expect obscene prices, but you can expect them to be 'healthier' going forward.
