1) awesome new skins
2) awesome story behind each one
3) while they sell for $1,500, items made with them worth are under half that. while, i, in no way, think that i should be breaking the bank by using them, it just comes off as a bug that the value for the items made with them is so low.

I'm not entirely sure they were introduced with intent for profit; it allows new racial textiles, and gives people the opportunity to switch to other new materials for their clothing and containers.

which is 100% cool. i love that we have more skeins, especially cultural ones. the history on them is amazing as well. that was one of the highlights of the festival for me.

i've just never encountered skeins/skins/anything that have the final product valued less than the initial item used. so i just wanted to see if it was an accident or intentional or what.

but regardless of that, the skeins are awesome. Smile

The final value of the textile created with the new skeins is not a bug. There are a few factors that you need to consider..that the said merchant came all the way from Esia, and that in order to make it worth their while, the need to charge higher prices. Another is that, not every item released, is released with the intention of being a huge money maker for players, but to add depth to the rp environment.

i know that money is something that i do consider at times, but please please stop thinking i want some huge money making project anytime something is released. seriously, all i was curious about was that i found it odd that something that cost $1500 to buy the materials for only sold for $600.

(and if it's hard to get the matrials here, i'm surpised that stores pay so low for the resale, then, but i'll drop it and just make them for RP purposes.)
