Alchemy gets 1-2 synths each update. Goldsmithing and smithing get everything else; look at how much they inflate HQ gear even if mats are cheap. If you dont like the price of something go lvl the craft to 100 and synergy to 80 and quit bitching...
No Reason to be paying 200k/stack for these. Orchalc ore is 50k/1 and firesand is like 5k. Plus Dunno if i read right, but it always yields 99 bullets Hq or not. Id pay 70-80k max a stack for these.
Orichalcum Ingot is worth 30k, and Firesand, 5-6k.
No matter how uncertain is the synergy process, a successfull craft yields 99 bullets, and 198 with a HQ1!
Selling 150k something worth less than 40k of materials? Come on...
