So I was looking at Crafting values for Blacksmithing, Swords.

VR15 requires 11 Ingots,
VR16 requires 110...

Is this correct or is there some sort of mistake? 100 more ingots for 1 more rank?
Compared to the previous ranks where it went 11...12...13...14...15...16

Same appears to go for all other gear.

    During the last ESO Live Broadcast this question was asked and it was confirmed that the significant increase in material required was intended.

    Is there any point to this other than grinding for max gear? If the increase isn't massive compared to other VR gear differences, everyone will just say "screw it" and use gold VR15 gear.

    I think it's pretty stupid, to be honest. People who can't afford the new DLC will have to spend hours just grinding for equipment and even then, they're got a 1/3 chance of getting the type of gear they actually need for deconstructing.

    Im all for a longer progressionroad, but 10x more mats was a tad much imo, too late now tho, but 5-6x would have been okish.

    The thing about this is, if you die to someone in VR16 gear, it won't be because your in VR15 gear.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    So the 10 times increase from Vet 15 to Vet 16 is INTENDED?

    I have never swore on these boards, but whoever thought that was a good idea: *** you.

    no one is going to make VR15 gear who already had VR14 gear.

    I think most people will just use VR16 drops. The stat jewellry and weapons. Then whatever drop set.

    Eventually people will replace their VR14 histbark / hundings with a VR16 version, but not in any hurry.

    I don't mind that they made the materials more rare, but the 10X jump between VR15 and VR16? It's illogical and weird.

    I don't like it.

    it is insane... 150 ingot to craft a single piece of armor ...
    They want us to farm ????
    They should fix this...
    The difference between VR15 and VR16 armor/weapons, is not interesting...
    More than this, for pair rank (VR10, 12, 14) the benefits is + 24 damage/armor, for not pair rank (VR9, 11, 13) the benefits is only +12 damage / armor... but this benefits don't exist for VR16...
    VR15->VR16 = +12 armor/damage only instead of +24 armor/damage...
    Where is the point ?

    It's totally against all the crafting rules set in place so far, way to go, Zeni. Another stupid choice to add to your list.
