Also, for anyone who thinks the RNG system is greats and needs no fix, please refer this
link.

From my experience (after throwing roughly 2000g into the forge), the average rate to get a precursor is roughly 1 per 300g loss, so from your data (314g loss no precursor) you are just on the bad luck end of the variance.

From a person who has dumped over 1500g in the Mystic Forge, all i can say is: there is a good reason why precursors cost 300g+ because it takes roughly 250g-300g on average to obtain a precursor from the forge (talking about Dusk Dawn in particular since i am only doing the 4x GS method which is guaranteed GS output.

this system is really nice, all you need to do is just hit “Enter” after you type the amount.
Previously the maximum was capped at 999, now it can go up to 5 digits (99999?).
Really awesome as you can craft maximum and just afk to watch TV or something.

Removing the 250 limit would work too, similar to what they did for the crafting amount.
Previously it was capped at 999 (3digit), now it is possible to craft up to 5 digits

Suggestion for adding an additional box next to the “Quantity” for multiple stacks.

Say I want to sell or buy 10 stacks (10 × 250) of mithril ore:

Current System:
List/Buy 250 Mithril Ore and repeat for 10times

Suggested System:
List/buy 250 Mithril Ore and put 10 in the “Stacks” box so I would complete my listing/order once.

Hope this suggestion go through. Thanks for reading.

I though of a way to keep dyes as an item and money sink, randomness, ‘progression’ and allowing to eventually get all dyes unlocked for the entire account:

Mystic Dye

• Recipe (numbers are just examples):
  • A stack of 75 fine dyes.
  • A stack of 15 masterwork dyes.
  • A stack of 3 rare dyes.
  • A stack of 10 philosopher stones.
• Effect:
  • Use the mystic dye, and 1 random dye is permanently unlocked for the entire account. The random dye is always a dye you don’t have. Rarer dyes have a rarer chance to be unlocked this way.

This item won’t be account bound, just in case you make one too many of them, or you make it and need cash.

People who do not care about getting things permanently unlocked can just stick with the normal use of dyes. People who want them all unlocked can use this item, but it’ll cost them time, skill points and money, and if they are lucky enough, they might get the account dyes they want sooner.

To get them all with the numbers of this example, this it’ll cost:
- 28950 fine dyes. (About 173..200 gold)
- 5790 masterwork dyes. (About 115..125 gold)
- 1158 rare dyes. (about 95..100 gold)
- 3860 philosopher stones (386 skill points).
This will get you the 21 starting unlocked account-wide dyes + the remaining known 386.

These numbers might seem a bit high, but they are just an example, based on the price of the cheapest dyes in the Trading Post.

Another possible way would be to have 3 stacks of dyes of the same quality + a stack of philosopher stones:

Fine Mystic Dye

• 50 fine dyes
• 50 fine dyes
• 50 fine dyes
• 10 philosopher stones.

Masterwork Mystic Dye

• 7 Masterwork dyes
• 7 Masterwork dyes
• 7 Masterwork dyes
• 30 philosopher stones.

Rare Mystic Dye

• 2 rare dye
• 2 rare dye
• 2 rare dye
• 100 philosopher stones.

This would cost more, but it’ll let you pick the rarity.

Other combinations could be with dyes of the same hue series.

Orange Mystic Dye

• Stack of fine orange dyes
• Stack of masterwork orange dyes
• 1 or more rare orange dyes.
• Stack of philosopher stones

Another possibility would be unlocking a dye account wide after 5 characters unlock it.
As long as people have to spend at least 5 dyes of each to get it unlocked account wide, it’ll be fine, as getting all dyes 5 times should be enough times to deserve getting them for the whole account.

I like this idea, however it would bring more RNG to the game.
What I suggest is:

Mystic Dye
250 Unidentified Dye
50 Mystic Coins
5 Philosopher’s Stone
1 Elonian Wine

Mystic Dye will be a single on-use item that extracts a single dye you want in the dye panel, and upon extracting, the Mystic Dye converts a reusable version of the dye you extracted with unlimited use and account bound.

So say you want your celestial dye to be account bound (that is probably the primary reason why people want account bound dyes, expensive dyes such as celestial, abyss, etc), first you craft the Mystic Dye in the mystic forge, then you use the Mystic Dye on Celestial Dye (which you unlocked), now the Mystic Dye becomes Never-ending Celestial Dye (exotic quality) which is account bound and is reusable (similar to reusable banker/trader/merchant from BLC).

This way, depending on the price of the dye and the Mystic Dye, the player choose to buy multiple individual dye (if you only ever will play with 1 to 2 alts) or make the reusable version (if you plan to play all your character slots).

Stacking power is nice, however if you get a weakness condition your damage would decrease substantially.
assuming weakness works like this:
(P + M * 35) * WS * SC / (T + D) * 0.5 <— the 0.5 is from the weakness as your damage reduces by 50% if its not a critical hit.
