Not sure how the other servers and platforms are feeling.
PC NA's prices on mats have exploded. I remember like a month ago dreugh wax which the average i would see would be valued at 20k a piece, which I thought was pretty expensive. Now its at 40k a piece. Kutas which were 4k about a week ago are now 10k per piece which just boggles my mind. While it should be a challenge to min/max our builds, I pretty much go broke after every build I make, and every update, the prices go even higher. I dont bother crafting jewelry cause its pretty much impossible at this point
.
This has pretty much led me to testing builds on the pts which isn't even good since there is no abundance of players compared to the live servers. So I ask could we please get a readjustment on how we upgrade our builds. Food for thought, maybe increase the drop rate on gold mats.
(Also I have no idea why there is such things as grains in jewelry crafting, it just makes getting platings extremely tedious).

You do know that you can harvest your own gold mats, right? I have HUNDREDS of gold mats from just doing crafting writs and refining raw materials I collect while adventuring and completing surveys.
I haven't bought a gold mat in the game since release and never will. Buying them is not a requirement.
You are paying for the convenience of someone else harvesting mats FOR you.

Good for you that you have the time to put in, but its super inconvenient for someone who goes in and out of work and in and out of University. There are some people who don't have the time to just farm the mats. The drop rate is god knows what and it can be off putting when you farm for hours and hours just to get abysmal amounts of upgrading mats. And that is my tedtalk for why I buy gold mats....1 -
