question: problem with leathercraft & other skills.

[Escwine]

hello,

this is not a complain. it is a question as I don't understand.

this is an example:

Rough Leather Shirt . Value: 56.
cost to make
Rough Leather Roll x3 = 60
Shoddy Leather Roll x2 = 20
Leather Strips x1 = 3

total (without the markup) = 83 basic cost

so to make the Rough Leather Shirt will cost at least 83$ but its Value is 56$.
it means that with each item created you loose money.

why then to make a Rough Leather Shirt ? in order to sell it with markup? to whom? vendors? they don't buy with markup. to players? why to buy a Rough Leather Shirt. it is garbage.

is it only to grind?

this is the same with many items, almost all the leather. and the magic items it is worse...

can the developers explain this please.

thank you.

You forget the value of the XP earned so that you can advance to a top tier item that will be worth Councils. Not everything in the game is about gold farming. The value is in the skilled learned.
