Guild Wars 2

I did have to buy some leather to craft leather materials to keep my leatherworking around the same level as my character (i.e. able to use the materials I am encountering), but I’m having more trouble with tailoring. I didn’t have enough materials at lvl 15 to craft lvl 15 gear, and the jute, at least, was priced much higher on the auction house than leather or metal. cloth gear was also priced much higher than leather or metal gear. Is anyone else seeing a large gap between light armor prices and other armor prices?

It’s at 7/9 on Fort Aspenwood.
