[Shinto]

I would like to say a few things in general to the prospective crafters who are discouraged by complications.

First, the items that I am able to make are, for the largest part, worthwhile. Obviously, copper weapons that can't take much enhancement are not going to sell for 10s each, but it is getting better daily for me.

Second, while I do wish that I were more capable of finishing the simple tier 2 recipes, the comps do one service for the crafters: They keep the market from being flooded. To make anything that sells, you have to be dedicated to and good at crafting.

Finally, take encouragement in knowing that, once you get to tier 3 recipes, you get 2500 AP, which should offset the number of complications that you get. I am told that the comps are no more common before than after that point, so the payoff in the end is worthwhile.
