Posted January 9 The uXa crafters are in constant discussion about the cost of leather armor. Why does it cost 100 more resources to craft it than it does for the cost of plate armor ect? 2 1 cyjax, DocHollidaze and KrakkenSmacken reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9 not to mention the lack of resources such as Ethereal Dust that is not part of the harvesting of leather. 1 dolmar reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9 You get dust from looting the corpses of the mobs you skin for leather. But still, skinning takes longer to produce materials then other professions, and leather uses more of it than other types of armor, and leather armor sucks. Based on how bad leather armor is, the cost to make it should be lower, not higher, than mail or plate. 2 dolmar and cyjax reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you harvest other types of nodes you can sometimes get as much as 6 dust per. (2x per 25% harvest point) The disparity is significant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a net dust loss, which I would not mind so much if it wasn't also the longest to harvest for requirements material. On the plus side for leather and critters though, is the gold critters drop, and the apparent fix to the vendor prices planned. So you can get two somethings at a time, just not dust. 1 gracen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea agreed but that is also ONLY at night when the "hunger" takes over and sometimes not get even 1 during the night times. I agree and beleive that is what Dolmar and Krakken is trying to point out is that due to the benefits of leather(or lackof) and the cost, it just isnt worth the actions but affects many professions that are in a sinkhole.
