Had the "pleasure" to be the 1st one to craft this ... View attachment 1004 Short craftin economics analysis ... Comes from an Lvl 1 L BP wich requires : - 25 Boar tusk, MU in AH atm 1395%, possible to get for 500% - 35 Papoo eye, MU in AH atm 1000%, possible to get for 500% - 30 Petalite crystal, MU in AH atm 3500%, possible to get for 500% - 30 Aragonite crystal, MU in AH atm 2000%, possible to get for 1000% - 25 Epidote crystal, MU in AH atm 1000%, possible to get for 300% - 20 Bornite crystal, MU in AH atm 8500%, possible to get for 1000% - 22 Bronzite crystal, MU in AH atm 4952%, possible to get for 2000% Of course, getting those crystalz is a major pain atm due to the big qtys required when mobs drop only 1 per kill when they do When I say "possible to get" means waiting, spamming trade chat, hoping for some1 to answer and trying to convince him the AH history MU is way too much to pay for such itemz. Anyway, according to the ingredients list total TT value of 1 crafting attempt is 3.20 PED. If you are to buy all those ingredients from AH atm (assuming u can find the required qtys listed) one crafting attempt would cost you 116.96 PED :palm: Now let's be realistic and admit no sane in the brain crafter would pay those MUs in AH atm, so he'll try to trade and get the mats for a better price, as I listed above in the "possible" part. Doing so, one crafting attempt will cost ~35 PED Factoring residue MU and the 50% success rule we and up in the realistic scenario with the fact that I should sell that knife for 96 PED + AH fee to only break even, that's 600%+ MU for a mid-low (L) knife :p ... any takers ? Now, NI devs ... can u spell " u n b a l a n c e d" ?? :D The reworking of newcommer area, the newbie itemz, the new BPs and itemz from them ... are great. Don't destroy all by such crazy BP reqs or NI will return fast to the TT economy phase ... my 2c PS : No, is not just this BP ! Same applies to the other BPs I discovered and same complains come from other crafterz I talked to on NI :( To be clear, I don't blame the ones that try to sell those as high as possible - I hunted most of my crystalz and took me 2 days to gather enough for 1 attempt so is a hard job to do indeed - is the whole NI loot that's unballanced atm. Either bring crystalz in mining (NI specific, like Ark did with its ores), or change the drop rate from hunting or change the refining ratio to something like 1:100. But the easy and quickest fix I would see is to lesser BPs requirements by an order of 10 tbh, that would keep the high MU while not forcing insane prices payed per click on crafterz side.
i disagree with you : the problem is not the MU of the cristals. the problem is the composition of all the new bps for me,the part of the cristal and mob part should never represent more than 10% of the tt cost of a craft try the other 90% should be obtain with ore, emmatters and animal oils. like this, yhe MU of the specific item stop being a problem, and it explain why an how we can use oil, metal or energie residu on the craft i have made a post on "general discussion" about this
1:100 change in the drop rate seems high to me. But dropping them like stzcks of 1 to 4 seems good to me, but whatsoever, there is an issue here that requires to be solved, because this is the Greek civilization florishing we are talking about here, not some papoo meal receipe !
