Armorsmithing is useless. Coke is WAY too expensive / Needed WAY too much @ lvl 50

You've missed out. Cuz you listened to whiny morons like these who have no idea what they're talking about, you've missed the periods where crafting was most profitable. Those who started crafting first are swimming in millions and are not spending it cuz anything they need to buy can be made by themselves. This prevents a large sum from circulating through the economy. Most importantly, there are now a crap ton of crafters and competition has plummeted the profits on 1-star and 2-star is almost nothing. Situations may vary from server to server.

A Dev Response from another similar thread:

We understand that the cost of materials for 2-star crafts is a bit high when it comes to their ingredients purchased with Allagan tomestones of philosophy. Therefore, we will make the necessary changes to recipes that use more than 1125 tomestones and scale them down a bit so all of the recipes will no longer use more than 1125 tomestones.

Hope that helps

Maybe they need to add this to the crafting quests.

Quest level 1: Go kill the boss mob in a level 5 FATE, 23 times. We aren't sure why, just do it.

Pretty much the same on Odin.
