The base items would be a lot cheaper if you didn’t have to craft so many to rank up.
Ofc they do, they set the levels of supply.

I’ve lost over 250k this expansion on just legendary item upgrades.
That is not a loss, its a price that you paid and got something for. The gold didn’t just disappear.

How you think it’s acceptable to pay wall legendary upgrades is beyond me.
The “pay wall” is one totally setup by the players in this game’s player driven economy.
And guess what, theyre only going to go higher as the expansion progresses.
Either you start crafting them yourself or pay the price.

‘‘Wtf blizz why professions so useless’’
Blizzard : Fixes it
‘‘Wtf blizz, why i have to pay gold for profession stuff’’
Fixes it? What you mean fixes it? Professions are completly dead outside legendaries.
Unless you’re crafting a legendary, your profession is pointless.
I only use enchanting on this char cuz i’d rather get 900g per epic than 75g.
But professions are far from “fixed.”
Going back to classic, tbc, wraths type of profession, then we talking fixed.
This is nothing.

Its a step in the right direction and the entire forum starts crying
This is why professions wont be fixed, people don’t wanna pay for profession stuff, they want it to be dirt cheap
justa tip buy amulet and ring legenderys becourse the tier sets are 9 peaces set haveing legendery what takes armor slot u luuse set bonuses at some point we will get 2 legenderys so u cna even miss out 2 bonuses if the bouth in armor slots …

Why on earth should it cost so much gold?
Becouse its legendary item. No somthing you are supostu have on all your characters fully upgraded.
Tbf this entire expansion so far has been ppl crying about not getting showered in everything. Not enough loot, stuff to expensive, had to sell my child to buy mythic boes, the list goes on.
Joke aside. It’s something, but it hasn’t fixed anything really.
I want a profession to MEAN something. When they said you needed all professions to craft legendaries, i thought all professions would be involved in YOUR legendary. Not 1 profession per legendary.
Like you’d need something from Bs, sometthing from tailor, something from inscript, something from LW and so on, to make 1 legendary.
So guild efforts for example would mean alot in your completion or from friends.
But ye aslong as ppl like OP exists it’s not gonna go anywhere.
Also bout loot, the only thing i’d want to change there is targeted loot, since the droprate is so low anyway. More loot tho? Not sure bout that.
soon peoples just buy level 60 boost and 226 gear from and 2 rank 4 legenderys from AH

Think i just had a stroke trying to read this.

I’ve gained over a million just in this month. Maybe you should try I don’t know… Crafting them?
Bear in mind I’m only crafting cloth and not that often either, but I’ve made about 140k in 3 weeks.
There’s also side money for enchanting peoples leathers and ores.
I am more actively crafting now though and expect to see a bigger profit.
does not allow me to edit it for some rison was going to fix it
Amongst the different button on your post, there should be a pencil to edit.
I looked into crafting it myself, getting to just be able to craft a rank 4 would cost me several times more in materials than the items can sell for on AH. Maybe there was a point where it was a profitable, it’s not now.
It’s 15 crafts per rank, per item slot, with each craft a net loss. Way way cheaper to actually buy on AH. I think I paid 60k gold for 235 on main and alt on AH.
I thought that legendaries were optional anyway and not mandatory, so its a case of if you want them, then you need to do what is needed to get them.

It can be costly, even for cloth to reach rank 4 (realm AH depending.) But if you farm and have friends in your guild giving you mats they don’t need then it’s not too bad. I’m almost at rank 4.
Hahhahahahhaha
Since when has a legendary been optional?
Yes it can, way too costly.
Whilst i agree it makes trade skills more relevant, it also shouldn’t have anything to do with it.
Some people enjoy playing Wow farming gold, boe farming, playing the AH and getting mounts and achvs.
Others want to log on and do m+ or raid etc.
You can’t seriously say this Legendary system is good, or that it “works”.
There should be one base item in this situation and you upgrade without. Its an entire farce. Its legit pay2win.
You’re either farming cloth for hours or farming gold to buy the cloth. It’s also a stupid wonky system as cloth is cheapest with leather second, and then mail/plate.
The cost for a plate user to level legendary is much more than a cloth user, therefore the entire system is floored from the get go.
Trade skills have no place in a sustained legendary ecosystem.
