Crafting Costs Need Balance

[Buy Some Apples.6390]

There's probably a tonne of items which require an extortionate amount of mats to craft, but there are alternatives which are much cheaper

 

For example, the Sharpening Stone Station, currently you would need 30g worth or mats to craft this.

Yet a Potent Superior Sharpening Stone gives you the same buff and costs under 10s on the TP

 

Now we guess the number of players in a WvW map is 80 per server, max 300 across all 3. Not sure on PvE maps

So for 80 Potent Stones you can spend 8g instead of 30g to give everyone the same buff.

And best of all you have more than 5 minutes to do it.

 

Pretty sure there are many other items like this, but really they need better cost management.
