ilevel 70 crafted items mats bug?

[Astralis]

Is it really 27 pcs of 125 philo items? isn't it too expensive for pants alone?

I mean i understand if it's a two piece set, but nope it's only pants.

all the other vanya casting gear have 9pcs of these 125philo items but the pants needs 27 of them.

CRAFTED i70 PANTS ALONE COST A DARKLIGHT SET

is this intended?

[Thotor]

Yes crafted gear price sux.

Same for the Astral Accessories.. each one requires 18 Peacock Ores... kinda ridiculous.

More like completely and utterly ridiculous... I thought the whole point of leveling a craft was so that you could profit and make better gear for yourself? Instead, you're better off just getting Darklight because of the time it would take otherwise... If you're a pure crafter (as in, you don't really like combat content) you're basically shit out of luck, too... I'm sure this is something that will change with time, but Potash is going for a steady 80k on the Market Boards last I checked... In 1.0 that'd be 800k, in 1.0 you could by it from a NPC for just over 20k, in 1.0 you didn't need nine times the amount either. Retarded doesn't even begin to describe this...

Honestly, as someone who really enjoys crafting, this is extremely frustrating. I'd love to hear how this is "working as intended" from a community rep or something. I honestly think the NPC should be selling 10 of the item for 125 stones, either that or just one of the item should be required again... Heck, 1 Potash and 9 Twinthread would be a preferable alternative to this lunacy... Although it is technically impossible, you can lose mats while crafting. You can fail getting high quality. You can lose a lot of Gil in forbidden materia melds... Heck, you have to level the craft to 50 in the first place, all that and what are you rewarded with? "Lol you could have gotten full Darklight for those pants".

It's intentional, knowing that, it was 1 Tomestone item per synth, like 1 Potash per Vanya Silk, on release. In the patch notes that changed it they said it was to make the content last longer.

Which is something you do when there's one dungeon to run

How wonderfully delightful. Well, knowing that I just wont bother with the content then, seeing as it is very likely they'll change it back. So much for content lasting longer, now I simply wont bother with it. Why on earth would I make 1 piece of Vanya Silk today, when I can probably make 9 tomorrow...

Had they made it a smaller increase, I'd probably have been fine with it, but when I compare what I need to do for full Darklight with what I need to do for full iLv70 crafted gear... Yeah... For a marginal difference in stats I have to; level at least two crafts to 50, level a DoL to 50 (possibly two), farm significantly more tomestones and gather a lot of stat appropriate materia... Sure, I could buy the materia, and buy the DoL items, and so on, but I don't have to pay anything for Darklight, so I'm not going to compare them that way...

If they're not changing this back in 2.1, then they can at least rectify the sheer stupidity of the amount increase they initially made... Anything above 5 is honestly too much... I already have to spend more time gathering and farming than I do compared to Darklight, I really shouldn't have to spend a significantly greater amount of time farming Philosophy stones as well...

so it isnt a bug? XD i thought it was just a bug or something

[Cynthis]

It's obvious that they don't want crafting to be viable as a source of income or useful at all. If they don't fix this nonsense I won't be subbing for long that's for sure.
