Hello.I just started to craft 16lvl bronze weapons from bronze bars.And i just realized that with each dirk(16lvl weapon) need 10bars and 2 stones im losing a lot of money.To craft this item i need to spen 12silver(10 tomake bars and 2 for stones) and i only sell this item at vendor for 5silver58bronze.

 

After this update that when crafting lower lvl weapons you get lower xp its really expensive to craft after lvl 16.

 

So maybe vendoring prices need to be revised or something?

Or its just expensive to craft?

The amout of materials needed in weaponsmithing and armoursmithing are insane since the begining, making it really difficult, slow and expensive to level up. I surelly want to increase my weaponsmithing and armoursmithing, but requiring a lot of bars per items I can mine for hours and just be able to craft around 10-15 items from it, which doesnt advance me advance that much in the craft.

This dynamic exists at every level then, I guess. I lose in-game currency with every item that I create and then vendor (after all, there is no other use for crafted items, especially since you have to make so many extras to level your profession).

 

As a beginner, I'm spending 10 coppers (or is it bronze?) for crafting components for every bar that smelt, board that I treat, jewel that I polish, etc. Then I need several of those processed materials to craft a single item, in addition to the 10 copper vendor component that is required in the final crafting process. So what do I get after spending 60+ copper just on vendor components, on the item that I vendor? 12 copper.

 

So not even accounting for all the raw materials that I gathered, I lose at least 48-58 copper on every basic item that I craft. And I need to do repeat this copper-losing process dozens of times even while I am still in the single digit crafting levels, and for multiple crafting skills!

 

This doesn't work for me. This is a great game, but as a crafter, I'm not going to get on a treadmill like this.

I agree this is a fun little game but it took me 2 days to realize and decide this crafting system is not for me - definitely one of the biggest time and money sink grindy crafting systems I've seen and I've played a lot of mmo's.  So I'll just enjoy the other stuff and leave crafting alone here.
