And that is my seqway into my next topic.....
In my opinion, it is definitely an ordeal to get the materials to craft and possess those items and I blame the LOOT/CRAFTING system for making it too difficult for anybody but the most dedicated (or lucky) players to get them. For a tome, 25 waters and 85 leads... are you freaking serious?!?!?! In the last month, I have looted 1 lead, 1 sulfur, and maybe 2 water. I only do a few runs each week because I have a wife, children, a job, and other interests. If you are unlucky in drops and have to buy the stuff then how many runs would you have to do to get the gold.....
Lets say 150k assist exp from a Rag run... equals about 30k gold. So it would take 33 runs to get 1 Million gold.... for 20 water or maybe 10-15 lead at current rates. I don't know about you, but it would take me 2 months or more to accomplish 33 runs, given 6 runs (2 hours each) on a good week. So what.. maybe six months of nothing more than saving up every gold for the materials and I can craft a tome....
Just going to chime in here and go off what Spirit said, As one who just crafted a tome it took four players a month and a half to craft a tome. We started working on it with 3 million gold. We ended with just over 200k between the four of us. We went on about 100 rag runs. We also had to sell a Legendary to get enough money to buy the lumps.
Was it worth it? Yes. Is that a lot of time for one person to try and craft one? Absolutely.
Just to give everyone the numbers. Not selling anything other than green drops and starting at 1 million gold. It would take one person 11 months doing 5 Rag runs a week getting to Odin to craft a tome.
