Hi A&F,
I think that price is very expensive.
Can you counting how many gems we have to spend if we want to create an elven gloves 1.9k/1.6k compare to a globe of sorrows 2.1k/1.6k its 300 gems only.. Please consider about price. Thank you in advance. Cheers...

Good luck, everyone!

Then a very small chance (x2) of getting a Rare craft. It seems to me that this is way too expensive to even try. Especially if you need a lot of materials.

Let's do some math. The Epic Cat Idol which has stats of 2733/863 needs the following materials:

12 Elf Grass
3 Sage Myrtle
1 Mandrake root

The wanderer's crate is 35 gems. 25% chance of one Elf Grass. Sounds like you would need @ 48 crates. 35*48 = 1680 gems

The Exotic Ingredients crate is 110 gems with a 25% chance of the Mandrake root or the Sage Myrtle. So 50% chance of getting then 25% chance of getting another. Maybe you need 7 try's.
7*110 = 770 gems.

So that's approximately 2450 gems to get the ingredients for crafting the Cat Idol. What's the chances of getting a Rare craft? Usually maybe 15%-20%? Now it's 30%-40%? That means you would have to craft on the average, 2 or 3 times to get the Epic craft. Of course, it's all chance, so results may be less gems or more gems.

More than a mountain and a half of gems to try one craft. Gree, you must be crazy, or at least think that we're stupid.

The materials shipment is 25 gems with a 33% chance of 3 common, 2 uncommon or 1 rare item. So you have a 1/12 chance of getting what you need, but at least with the Elf Grass you'll get 3, and the Sage Myrtle you'll get 2.

Even the Materials shipment crates are expensive and I won't buy them.

These new crates are insane.
Perhaps, the common items x3 for 15 gems
20 gems for the uncommon items x2
25 gems for the rare items x1.

You used to offer equipment packs for real money during EB. At least you knew what you were getting there. We also have a very nice artifact in the store, the Globe of Sorrows for 300 gems (2.1k/1.6k)

If you want to get us excited about crafting:
1) Start giving more crates in box events, ILTQs and war. (Remember the 200 common crates and 50 uncommon crates we got when crafting first started?
2) Make crafting in quantities available. In the Cat Idol example, you have to craft Wood Solvent 6 times. Very tedious to do one at a time, and it's easy to forget what it was you were crafting, lol.
3) Offer reasonably priced material crates.

To be honest this new crafting been here awhile and many have already crafted the good ones so spending and getting an epic would only increase the damage on HB by a small margin while I thank Gree for better epic rate I won't buy crates just cross the fingers for the drops I get from LTQ

[Laura TCK]

Got what I needed to craft the harbinger cards but no epic as per normal so def no gems going to be spent

[Ryosaeba]

Does any one else have a problem getting Sage Myrtle? I have like 5+ of all the other items from that tier but only 1 Sage Myrtle.

[Laura TCK]

Yes I can craft a mushroom stroganoff to feed the 5000 but sage much harder to get, same as elf grass in common it's all on purpose as sage is needed for strong potion and that's needed a lot all about gems as always

[Intan jabrut]

And Fire Mote is really hard to get as well. I have some 5 Earth Mote & 5 Spellcraft Papers. But really hard to get Fire Mote.
