it's all worth it. it always was (i agree that certain very frustrating points were existing along the road) and still will be, especially since they added a master writ drop chance into it...

Selling the ornate items and decoding the intricate ones for the extra mats is another seven hundred gold a shot. Selling low level crafting mats from the reward boxes is another revenue flow, it's not as if that junk has a use, my new alt will have to find their own mats.

@Integral1900 : Wait... Intricate items produce more mats when deconned? I have been selling them at aution house for about 250g/item, presumably because I thought people bought them to level alts. Are you saying white intricate items produce more than 250g of mats?

Nope, they usually give 3 mats, rarely more. 3 mats are worth 30-70g. The same items sell on guild stores for 150-180 gold. So it's more profitable to sell them there, unless you have something more valuable to sell. I've sold a lot at some point but now I've put more valuable stuff in guild stores, so I usually decon them for the base mats and style material since the margin is so small.

To all of you posting in 2017, Mannimarco called. He wants his tome of Necromancy back.

I get 1-2 ambrosia recipe fragments a week from my 4 maximum level crafting characters. I now sell them for about 4K a piece on guild stores but I had learned a recipe on my main and completed another which I keep in the bank just in case the cipher drops some day.
