So with most sets in the game, you can use transmute stones to craft them, and when you have the full set, as you know, it is basically free to craft at its basic level due to refunding the same amount it took to make them. This is amazing for testing out gearsets, and build crafting, and freedom to try things.

The one outlier here, is Crafted sets.

These, in order to test out a possible set, you would have to go and get a LARGE quantity of the material to make the CP160 version of the set, and then if it doesn't work or it isn't fitting your build, you cant just try something else you have to go get a whole new set of the materials. and this is before you even upgrade them to max rarity or anything, just the basic white or green. I understand WHY this was put in place, to incentivize players to actually use the crafting system and to not just buy a piece off the market to build your sticker book, but it does harm the benefit that normal sets bring with the sticker book and disincentivizes people trying things out with these sets.

So here is my suggestion:

Make Crafted sets added to the Sticker book, but under the specific condition that YOU are the one that crafted it and you crafted it at MAX level (CP160). It can be reconstructed at white rarity if needed, and would need all pieces to be crafted in this way to complete the set and get the cost/refund effect the other completed sets get, but would incentivize people getting max crafting, and learning all the traits to build out these sets in there sticker book.

And since you cant trade reconstructed gear, this keeps the aspect of other people making the gear for people if they don't want to go through this hassle and just are set on a 5 piece, so they commission it from someone. but for the Crafting player, it will be easier to make and test these sets out for their OWN enjoyment.

If others have suggestions, lemme know what you think.
