Crafters Petition: Request adjustment to 2 star craftable gear

[cloverkitty]

On the 22nd of August there was an adjustment to the 2 star crafting items that changed the NPC purchasable materials needed from 1 to 9.
These items were also set to a price of 125 Tombstones of Philosophy.
That means it is about 1100 tombstones to make the pre item to make the fine 2 star item.

This was an utter slap in the face to all crafters. It was bad enough that I had to get my control over 318 and my crafting over 348 (no complaints on that as it gave me an enjoyable challenge to reach).

However once I reached that goal I discovered that I could not make any of the items without spamming dozens of dungeons and other areas just for a chance to make a pre item. To top it off making HQ became much more difficult as 9/10ths of the synth is NQ.

Most of this I could live with and I would work with the challenge. However I find the adjustment of 1 to 9 Beyond acceptable.

I hereby petition all crafters to voice your support in fixing this travesty.

Either reduce the number or make reasonable alternatives for end game crafters to perform their crafts.

I would really appreciate it if I could get a dev response but as we have clearly been ignored in the crafting threads I am not holding out much hope.

Yeah, crafting end game does seem SUPER lack luster atm honestly. It's not a very strong system. Hence why im pretty sure it's gonna stop being a profitable one as well, and people will stop trying to do it, once more people have their relic weapons, and everyone currently zerging crafting stops or hits 50, since there's simply no practical use for it outside of selling other materials to other crafters for them to lvl on.

The cost for those materials is far too high, they could also add them as random drops in lvl 50 dungeon chests as an alternative way to get them into the economy.

They've already called the crystal the life stream a few times, so it might make sense for some natural materia to develop around the world that monsters could pick up.
