Guild Wars 2

I posted this in the CDI thread but it doesn’t really belong there so I’ll create another thread.

An emerging problem given the insane prices of silk and bolts of damask is the imbalance in ascended armor crafting which is not equitable between the 3 armor types. With the time gating on bolts of damask light armor takes 36 days to craft, whereas medium armor only 24 days and heavy armor 25 days.

IMHO this inequity is something that has to be rectified, doing something about prices would help but would be really only papering over the actual problem which is the recipes themselves.

God forbid the light, cloth armor takes more cloth to make than the heavy, plated armor aswell as the medium, leather stuff. A little logic gets you a long way.

Damask is what it costs as it’s the new kid on the block.

There are already stockpiles of leather (bows) and metal (most weapons) from ascended weapon crafting. So supply is better able to match demand than the a brand new material (damask) that was uncraftable until recently. In time, damask will be produced and consumed until demand falls and the materials become cheaper.

This is expected and natural.

Deldrimor steel plate helm casing=29 gold
Deldrimor steel helmet lining=10 gold

Feel better about it now?
