They are not loosing money. They are reducing the cost of the investment.

If you use this formula, i believe you can see it better
→ Selling price = ( Cost to produce / 0.85) – “Your Value of the investment objective”

13s16c dust cost x 5 dust / 5 = 13s16c for 1 master tuning crystal which sells for 9s57c
they are losing money. If they are finding all the materials they use to make it, they are still losing money as they are getting 3.59s less than they could = losing money.
people are using these recipes (and the potent ones too) to get to level 440 by paying the least price.
I’m not so sure it is the least price… 3.59s loss each, compared to 5g loss per exotic crafted. but discovering 1 exotic gives like 5 levels while it takes like 100 potions (each crafting gives 5, so 20 craftings) to get 1 level. 1g/level vs. 3.6g/level.
I took this opportunity to buy several stacks of these potions at 1/2 what it will ever cost to make them knowing they will go back up in a couple weeks. how do I know it will never cost less to make them? their cost is linked to ecto cost. even if ecto drop to 20s, that means it will cost 11s to make a dust = 11s to make 1 of these potions. dust is also really cheap right now… everyone’s salvaging a lot of ecto for the luck. every time they do that, they are losing about 4s. I prefer making a profit while getting luck funny people.
