Can something be done about the materials needed for T3? Specifically “cured rugged hide”, which is so hard to get by that it’s currently up for 70-80g each on Living Flame EU. That’s just insane if you ask me, considering how much you need if you are a rogue for example.
3000g ish for the pieces you need + the T3 ring has arcane crystals going for 80-90g each so that’s another 900g.
So currently 4000g to get you geared in Naxx. That’s a bit… pricey?
Maybe reduce the cost a bit or make it easier to get the materials somehow?
I am not against sinking some gold into your gear but currently it seems a bit over the top.
Level letherworking? You had 8 months, all needed cured rugged hides for the set can be made in 42 days with just 1 character. Their drop is also increased 3 times compared to classic (1 per 3 days in classic vs 3-5 per 3 days in sod). people just lazy to level professions.
You can also level 35lvl alt for letherwork + optional tailor or alchemy, its really fast to level to 35 in sod with all runes. All price for levelling leatherwork will be cash backed with just 1 refined deeprock salt cast. (you need just level to 250 to make refined deeprock salt, 300 for procs for cured rugged hides but you can just sell refined deeprock salt and get almost same money)
Ofc it’s insane that they cost much more then in classic with 3 times more drop rates when reagents for most sets are also reduced (in classic for some pieces you need for example some mooncloth and some rugged hides when in sod only 1 reagent), so its not blizzard problem, its problem that people really so lazy to just level professions
No, 4k for full bis set is not pricey. On prev phase some bis trinckets were 3k for 1 item. So maybe 4k for set is not so much? It’s really easy to make gold now in sod. Even just with ah flipping you can make couple thosands per day as prices are very volatile for some items (especially low level leather/cloth that can cost 5s one day and 50s other, also zg coins is very good option buy all that below 1,5-1,8g and sell for 1,99g a bit later - same with bijoes if they below 12g).
