RUMOR: Tel Var Stone costs to drop
I saw this on Reddit. Presumptions based on PTS? Dunno. Take it with a grain of salt, but lots of rumors like this end up panning out.
Thought Id share. Items seems to cost half of what they used to with the new Update. Mats go for 50 T'V and V16 Gear goes for 5000 T'V
You might want to wait for the update to craft your stuff. Hirelings will also provide more mats for V15-16 and there will be nodes to harvest them
EDIT: To complete the info
Requirements for crafting V16 seem unchanged (130-150 mats)
Rubedite Ingot / Rubedo leather / Ancestor Silk / Ruby Ash = 50 T`V (from 100)
V15 Runes = 80 T'V (unchanged)
V16 Potency Runes = 400 T'V (from 800)
V15 Water = 40 T'V (unchanged)
Charcoal of Remorse (Xivkyn Style mat) = 100 T'V (unchanged)
V12 Blue Set Gear = 1000 T'V (unchanged)
V16 Purple Set Gear = 5000 T'V (from 10000)
Green/Blue up to V15 Armor Boxes = 600/800 T'V (unchanged)
Blue/Purple V16 Armor Boxes = 3000/4000 (from 6000/8000)
Also this:
Just wanted to share something I noticed on PTS that does not seem to be listed on the patch notes. Hirelings will now provide "Ruby" Raw Materials for Woodworking, Blacksmithing and Clothing. It seems some hirelings come with 1 only and some with 10.
EDIT: Also, Writs will require crafting Tier 10 items as well. About 1/2 of what it used to require for Tier 9.
