Not too sure about legendaries but is it still worth buying rare 6 property recipes and crafting? With the AH completely outta hand with the new legendaries and stat buffs, now im not too sure if crafting would be viable or consistent into making profit. I've been collecting exquisite essences for a while and now im thinking of just selling them... whats ur guys input?
I think the crafting gold cost needs to be severely lowered or even removed to make it viable again. You need 6 near perfect rolls to contend with legendaries. I found a couple 6 prop recipes that I already have since the patch and haven't been able to sell them because the price keeps plummeting.
I have a 6 prop helm recipe. I pick up all blues and salvage for materials, and I would agree that the gold cost is a little on the high side @92K (approx) per helm. I've crafted say 50 (4.6mil) and had 1 sell for 10 million and several others sell for a few mil, and also kept a few. I think it's worth it if you pick up all magic items and salvage the lvl 60s (59 for ring, ammy, and follower token). That way you are not investing any money in materials, it's just kind of a side business to recycle some of the vendor trash.
In all honesty it all comes down to WHAT your actually making. A lot of the 6 prop items never sell or take a long time to sell, even with good rolls due to having to contend with ilvl63 gear rolling on a higher tier. Also the weapons where 99% of the time a total waste. Sometimes you would get a 'near miss' that you could sell to a WW barb for their off hand for a few mill, but chances are it won't happen.
The main sellers are the same sellers as before the patch. The general rules for gambling apply to crafting so here goes:
- Only invest if your prepared to write off the entire investment once it's been done.
- Never EXPECT profit
- Be prepared to not get anything good for possibly hundreds of crafts.
I've made 25 mill+ profit on crafting since the patch with more profit today that I've not added.
