It’s mostly the consumables, specifically enchants to be honest, the rest is mostly reasonably priced, but your general point is correct.
Also embellishments do not scale with ilvl which I am not happy to discover.
I kinda like the new mini game but it takes too long, and honestly you should be able to learn all crafting specs on any character
To me it’s just so convoluted, consuming, expensive, I keep working on it…but it is just not really engaging. I’ve always done the professions… I completely engaged in Dragon Isles… I don’t want to do it all over again. It was just too much. Especially, since the rest of TWW is like this too.
They doubled down on it so they are probably seeing participation tank but they can’t admit they made a mistake.
the ranks depends. the higher it is, the more it is worth. thats why.
