If there is a new SH weapon set for CW and it costs 3x more than other classes for some obscure reason as has been the trend for the past 2 series of masterwork gear, some tables will be flipped. Can you please be reasonable when it comes to the costing of items, it is ridiculous that the CW class is unfairly (yes unfairly) discriminated against arbitrarily when it comes to the reagents required to make these sets.

I think the price is pretty reasonable.
(damn lol 5 people already got the bait) nice job xD

You totally missed the point. The issue is that weapons for CWs and SWs are much more expensive to make than weapons for the other classes not just that they are expensive.

I think you totally missed the point.

I agree with those complaining about fartouched residuum and relative weapons. CWs, SWs and DCs have a too high weapons cost compared to other classes who instead have reasonable overall prices.

Consequentially, artificing lvl IV cost is exaggerated imho.

I think, in any case, that 1 of the 3 needed objects in all new masterworks quests should be a chult crafted object for two reasons: 1. cost would be a bit cheaper and 2. it would connect more consistently stronghold crafting with chult crafting.
I saw chult is involved with second quest but it just felt to be not enough to me.

I couldn't check the rest cause i didn't have time to unlock it

Not sure if it is a bug or not but completing quests for lvl IV recipes doesn't start the one for lvl V. Maybe it's related to "taking credits" quest? Close to impossible to complete it since it needs new resources to craft items.

HAMSTER...

Most of us are in your boat... The general consensus is that in the early years of the game, when it was PC only, there were multiple exploits that allowed several players to attain incredible amounts of AD and Zen

Those exploits were patched, and in one case (Caturday) an actual rollback had to happen, but what we are left with is an incredibly broken and unbalanced economy in the PC version of the game where there exists a minority of the playerbase that essentially controls the economy

This affects the other versions of the game as well, apparently, as the loot droprates/binding/AD gain rates that have been altered dramatically in order to bring the PC economy hopefully back into hand seem to be tied to the droprates in the console versions of the game

Personally, I believe that the dev crew we have possess the knowledge of game economies to right the ship, eventually making awesome stuff like BiS and mastercrafting relatively easily attainable by all players willing to invest their time in those achievements, though right now we seem to be in a transitional state where certain things that might seem great are not available to all players, given the AD sinks that are having to be put into place

I've started year ago so I don't know what exploits were in the past. But I strongly disagree you cannot make money in NW unless you did exploits. I used dozens of economy niches in latest months and I've earned a lot. If I were a bit more experienced and started trading I would be at better situation right now but still I've earned just several dozens mil last 2 months. I'm actually suprised when I see long time players who still don't have a lot of AD. And I'm tired of hearing "you're rich, you exploited or used rl money". I will give you simple examples (not everything works now and I'm not sharing everything):

Predit Superior enchantment price change. I bought 500 stones for 4k each. Sold them at 11k (so from 2kk I got 5kk) where the price is now around 30k ea.. so more patient people could get up to 13kk for 2kk initial investment
Buy feeder artifact for 15-40k ea (before mod12b) and sell them for 80-140k during 2xRP. Worked for few 2xRP when I realized and I made a lot thanks to it
Wait for glorious lockbox to drop, buy them for 60ea and sell them for 300-400 later (I usually buy up to 5000 so it's not headache)
After this 2xdouble gems I figured out that cube of augumentation are a lot cheaper (people opened a lot of packs) and bought 1500 for 1.8-2k ea. Right now they're selling for 3k ea and if I wait to mod 13 (I also predicted new weapon sets) it's price will skyrocket too
Hoard zen for every 40% sale. It's just free AD, buy wards, sell them, buy cheaper stuff on AH and wait few weeks. Right now you can still profit even on 15% discount cupouns due to high ward prices on AH
You can use a lot of events like 40% sale + 2x shards + 2x guild mark +2x proffesion (+building in SH) to farm a lot of ingredients for sale. I'm too lazy for it but I heard people are making a lot through it.
If you're not lazy as me you can also farm hunts..I see people making milions through it every week even after price drop. Any new content has potential to earn a lot thanks to people who wants something right now.
.. the list goes on. They is so many niches and all you need is THINK.


Anyway I'm on boat that MW is just pain in the HAMSTER. I want to pursue it but as it currently stand it looks like big waste of money (well if I already had it I would profit but..). I think that it should be a lot easier to rank it up and just recipies cost should be high so only selected would craft it. People still profit from making armor kits and different things so easy to get masterwork shouldn't be issue. And ingredient for every class should be equally easy/hard to farm.. it never make any sense that difference of price for some classes were so high.
