Question on black panther skin price

[Cecily]

To get my tailoring to 228 before Velious, it took me over 2 years and 100k+.Then probably another 60 or 80k for the rest of the way to 250. That time and expense is what I would be charging you for. Also, every piece I make is another item on the market to compete selling against, so I want a cut of the profit (usually 25% of current market value). If you're lucky, you'll save quite a bit compared to buying the full item. But I want the cost to sting enough to discourage mass production.

2k for a successful combine I could understand ... Maybe. If it's 2k a click including failures?

Still though, the components are not rare. Hunting suits in WL and only killing the panthers I accidentally aggro, I've got 20 of them and a good stack or more of leaves. On the market you could sell all the components for maybe 3-4k while the final product even considering half failure could run 80-100k based on wiki prices.

The market is already flooded with reagents, it seems more like price fixing. If the reagents are so plentiful that they sell that cheaply, the final product will inevitably plummet.

I'll probably just find a tailor to cut a dea with - give them a bunch of mats for the pieces I want for my monk and then let them keep all the extra mats to sell product on the market.

Long term, the panther armor will end up being really cheap regardless.

I do get a laugh when people port into WL auctioning to buy the mats off me for a rate whereby the sum total for mats is well under 10% the value of the final product.
