Precursor crafting worth it ?
Based on what people are saying, if the precursor is going for less than like 900-1000 gold, it is not worth it to craft it. You pay almost the same amount (you end up needing to craft a kitten load of ascended crafting materials, so it starts to rack up a massive gold cost), along with a massive time investment (especially if you decide to craft the ascended materials vs buy them). If it’s 1000 gold+, I think it’s worth it to craft. Hard to say at this point though, as very few people have gotten very far into the system.
You shouldn’t be looking at it like it costs 900-1000g compared to the pre which is maybe 800g
There is a massive difference between 800g right now, and 900-1000g spread out over several months,
The ONLY reason its so expensive atm is because some people are racing to be the first to do it, and with this, its pushing up the demand for certain items/materials.
If you are planning on using the pre crafting and trying to push it in under a week, then its cheaper to buy the pre right out from the TP, if you are planning to doing it slowly say over a month or so, then its cheaper to do the crafting.
Like I said, 800g in 1 day is not the same as 800g over a month or 2.

In the end it’s still the same gold amount, plus a massive time investment. Think about it- you could just save up gold bit by bit in the same way you build up a precursor bit by bit, and eventually just buy it, which is way less of a hassle than spending almost the same amount of gold, grinding masteries, and filling collections.
