Just my own personal experience here. 85 now on my seasonal character and the veiled crystal shortage is real. I like how the gold situation improved a lot but now it’s the materials causing me some frustration.
Forgotten Souls is somethin, but a bit more deliberate farming is enough to handle, Still, they are burning quick at 2 a pop
But veiled crystals, wow. I’m trying to imprint a Disobedience on a 925 chest armor, and the aspect is not even sacred, and the charge is 30 veiled crystals? Enchanting costs of crystals seem much higher now too.
I hope these costs can be looked over, it’s a bit crazy how a few hundred can just disappear so quickly. Losing the S1 mats urn may have been a factor too, I think it should be baseline to have higher crystal rates.
Thanks.

Old imprints will take crystals on your high gears and yes its alot. I dont like it either.

I wish the devs would try their own game before making tedious choices with the design of their game.

For me it used to be silver ore. Now im sitting on more than ill ever use.
S2 has given ppl a lot more than S1 an preseason.

I don’t think at 85 I was ever at a shortage for these. At 35 sure.
But do you not salvage 99% of your rares?

I’m definitely switching back to salvaging. On my other 100’s I was less bothered pre-season as gold was the biggie, and in S1 for sure because of the urn.
Gotta be more stringent on when to decide an item is bricked, I guess.
For sure getting into a settled spot with gear makes your hoard more but I think the costs are pretty crazy mats wise now if you’re really trying to perfect an item or close to it.
If you are doing Tree bounties is no reason to sell items, salvage all the trash.

The gold burden has decreased significantly. I salvaged all yellows and reds. Only sold blues if I wasn’t too lazy to walk over to the other vendor. At lvl 88 I have well over 100 M gold.
Oh I sell Uniques I will never go back to, if I find a better one also.
Do whispers for gold and salvage everything else
The lower level aspect is, more it costs.
So try to find ancestral ones. They are cheaper to imprint.
Don’t waste mats on lower level ones.
I know it sounds crazy but that’s how it is. 
Starving players for resources is content.
You should be salvaing jwewelry and weapons if your crystals drop under 1k and you plan to roll.
THis will give you veiled, armor otherwise gives you leather or crap like that.
I sell all armor, and salvage all weapons and jewelry, this gives you silver and iron also.
fiend roses for me right now (lvl89) , was veiled crystals on earlier lvls but i finally got my unique and switched spec so…
The crafting materials drop rates are designed that way in order to get us to spend more time farming, in order to make up for the time loss from improvements in levelling, so that the ‘time spent playing/in game’ stat for shareholders can still be met.
The funny thing is…I bet that if the crafting mats wasn’t an issue, and was in, I wouldn’t say ‘abundance’, but at least ‘enough to not be annoying’…we’d probably spend just as much time…possibly even more time just blasting away having fun.
Remember to roll your rares without aspects imprinted on them, it will remove the fiend rose need.
The moment its imprinted or its a natural leg, youll need fiend roses.

Yeah same here a i little over 4k veiled crystals at lvl 100. Never once had a shortage. Salvage everything post lvl 30 ,gold is to easy to come by.
Veiled Crystals shortage??
What are you doing with all the gear you pick up? Last I checked, I have 1,600+ crystals, and I salvage just about everything I pick up as the majority of the gear I pick up is 0/4,1/4 or sometimes 2/4.
Simple. If you dont do nm dungeon shortage come fast. I’m going up now since l started them at lvl 79. Not enough gear drop to salvage for me on other activities. Rolling gear is expensive veiled crystal wise.
Have you done the vampire summon event? Spamming this with a few friends we spent more time disenchanting loot than we did fighting.
