Hello :)
What do you think about crafting buff pots? I'm looking for another source of income, and I thought it could be nice profit, 'cause I saw recs going for 40k. I'd appreciate any feedback on this topic, and maybe some sample ingredients list for one of them :)

nope
the mats are worth more than the potion is :/

Yes, I thought about crafting my own greater magic haste pots to save money, but the potions would end up costing me far more than buying them directly from the priest :)

They're only worth crafting if you are fishing anyways and don't really need all your POCFs.

Oh yea, and don't both crafting dyes either unless they remove the recipe requirement. 10 recipes/tatoo is just stupid.

Ok, now I'm puzzled... So what's the purpose of common craft if materials are worth more than complete product or there's some stupid requirements?

Fishing has several purposes... a new way to kill time, a way to expand toon abilities, and to craft rare items (hairpins, etc...).

When C4 first hit, lots of people wanted to expand toons so POCFs were quite costly. But now there's an influx of chinese fishermen in safe zones (bridge to Giran Mage guild) and the POCF prices have dropped to levels where they're barely worth selling.

With curent POCF prices, it may be worth using your fish scales to make potions... but I don't think it's worth it if you have to buy any of the parts. Also, potions are quite afordable through Dawn/Dusk priests so if you have anything you want to expand on toons (inventory, WH, recipe spots, etc.) then turn your scales into POCFs.

Why are the dyes the way they are? Because NCSoft didn't think things through. If you need a recipe for each dye then the recipes shouldn't be so hard to get. Hopefully they'll change that. Fish bones are only used to make dyes... turn all your bones into POCFs.

The way things are now though, I think the only way to make money w/ common craft is with hairpins/eyepatches.

Personaly I'm keepign all my fish bones and shiny scales (havent yet fugiured out a use for those). The proofs arent that expencive, and actual bones dont take much room.
