Hear me out with this. I had to spend 1.1m gold to reach rank 4 and farm honored with my alt to craft some ring max rank legos. I did all of that last 2 weeks then now i still can’t craft my legendary because for some reason me unlocking vestige and reaching honored wasn’t enough. I need to do korthia to unlock being able to use optional reagents and that is not the worst part. That thing is behind the 4th chapter of korthia. The worst part is to unlock 4th chapter i need to finish covenant campaign…
Is this a joke? I am seriously asking atm. Who thought this was a good idea? Do i really have to spend all my evening to unlock this on reset day?

i agree that the way its implemented sucks but…didnt you know about this in advance? you had enough time to quest through all the stuff with your alt.

Had 0 idea about this. If i knew this was a thing i even wouldn’t attempt it. I already wasted half of my gold and committed tons of time to reach honored with zereth on 2 toons. There is kinda no way to know this unless you attemp either. I am just extremely mad at myself and blizzard. I could have checked it earlier didn’t realized i need to specifically unlock optional reagent slot for crafting. Also thx to Blizzard’s perfect designing team now i have to waste all my evening on a day that finally full raid and m+ rewards unlocks to just rush this travesty questline in hopes to get some of my gold back. Worst part is literally covenant campaign is kill 3x mobs then travel across the globe to say hi to someone.

Here a thing thats mostly players that want TOP tier legendary don’t need them in general. Cuz they do dailies or their goal in this game on casual level - 15 key, 1800 rating or heroic raid.
This isn’t about a need legendary what to do topic sir. Basically all these legendary crafting thing is a travesty. Weirdly i have to spend +1m gold to reach rank 4 without any return , farm honored and even after getting vestige need to farm a questline i completed 4 times before to get optional reagent unlocked. How does this sound normal to you?

It shouldn’t be some stupid gold sink to begin with, but Blizzard are full in on maximising profits from game token, WoW is a microtransaction ridden pay to win game where you can earn everything in game, just takes you a lot longer.
There is no excuse about people not “needing” the legendaries or whatever because they aren’t items gained through great skill or great achievements, they are items purely created through great wealth and as a standard system within the game that everyone is expected to take part in. There is no alternative than to invest gold, becoming a crafter was an even larger investment of resources.
It’s a bad system, but when you have people defending the design it’s no surprise Blizzard is ok with going this route as it’s very profitable for them.

Min maxing was always a thing and it never required, afaik, this amount of gold.
Prices on leggys are not normal. Anyway 1 mln to be able to craft 4 lvl called boosting crafting skill. Its always was like that. If u don’t want to farm all materials you buy it. On 1.1 mln u can buy 10 leggos max ilvl. Its not worth it.
I also farmed mats for 3 days btw that 1.1m was extra money needed to push. Wanna learn the vendor trash cost for reaching level 4? 150k in orborael shards.
Anyways,
No , i don’t remember sinking 4 tokens worth of money into a profession without getting return. You can’t even vendor the items you craft.
This showed me you have no idea what you talking about.Try farming the mats yourself pls. I tried and that money i mentioned was on top of that. Probably buying and prospecting everything would cost something between 1.6-2m.
No you can’t. Idk which realm you playing on. Crafting cost alone is 122k atm on Silvermoon.
Stop defending this travesty crafting system. No matter where i look at it there are no positives. Neither crafters or buyers are happy. They had perfect fix for legendary system in Legion 7.3.5 and for some reason it is abandoned.
On our server 291 leggo cost 50-60K.
You can literaly said this about anything in the game.
Its not. You are just another entilted casual what want best item in tge game but without any effort.

I think they tried making professions relevant but it resulted in this.
Are they paying you good for these comments?
Being able to craft your own Legendary is fine. Them being super expensive is not fine, but blizzard doesnt control that. I don’t think the mats soaking ranks help here.
Agree. I am going to keep using my 262 legendary for a few weeks at the very least.
What does effort have to do with gold? There is no effort in spending lots of gold, the whole system is a massive gold sink from crafting to purchasing. The point is that it’s disproportionally high in terms of gold requirement, while the other requirements are irrelevant.
The gold cost should be irrelevant, the gameplay journey should matter. Don’t defend systems put into the game purely to generate profits by talking about “effort”, it’s a bad system that only exists as a P2W mechanic.
Legendaries are also not optional, unless you plan to play the game entirely solo, while gimping yourself.

I wonder who thought it would be a great idea to make leggos cost up to 100 000 raw materials.
Honestly. I would like to hear the reasoning or logic behind this.
Nobody went out, farmed all the raw materials and started crafting.
Bots farmed, people with gold hoarded and profited. While its cool for the gold making. It should have never been core part of the progression of the game.
Why? Instead of whining about it, just don’t craft? There’s plenty of other crafters besides you that don’t whine about it.
You putting effort into making gold. Clearly lot of you forgot that we still play rpg game. Legendary items shouldnt be easy to obtain without any effort.
