✪ Summary:

This suggestion is a blanket suggestion to improve the way that crafting materials are distributed across crafted game items. This thread is image heavy, to get the point across more effectively. ):

Foreward:
Recently, I paid a player to go through the list of EVERY craftable item and find me items that were not used at all, or were used in 1-2 recipes. The amount is ridiculous. Zero-use items are not listed, but include most of the collectable beetles and Sable Horns.



Recently, there is an epidemic on Lioden where the same few resources are used across MANY different crafting recipes, and worse, some are demanded in large bulk for quests.

Perhaps the worst offender of this is herbs.

Herbs are required for the Demiurge Quest, but also required in a number of applicators.


And applicators which utilize herbs, often use the exact same herbs over and over.


Some, like Buchu and Nutgrass, are requested in not only large quantities, but for so many items.


And only Shiny RED Rocks have been used in recipes, where other Shiny Rocks could easily serve as stand-ins, in some of these other recipes that keep using the same herbs.


On the topic of coloured stones, Rainbow Stones have been regurgitated into so many recipes that could also easily use a number of Shiny Rocks, resulting in such overflow that I can't even show you the full list. :D Look at the size of that scroll bar!


Some crafting materials were added and just entirely forgotten about, such as sable horns.

How many do YOU have in your inventory, waiting for a reason to use them? Sure, you can use them as toys, but why have the description say "Or collect for future crafting"?


Some applicators, which would have made perfect sense as craftables, weren't! What am I expected to do with FOUR HUNDRED AND TEN Jacana legs? I guess I could make 12+ Jacana Bird decors? Seriously, why the heck wasn't Jacana base craftable? These legs could also be a stand-in for blue-coloured craftables, instead of using Rainbow Stones for blue!


Reaching the Wetlands in explore means I DROWN in Black Heron feathers - another item with no use except a single, plain feather decor, that could be given one as a special reward!!


EDIT AUGUST 2024: We have a BRAND NEW WORST OFFENDER! Wow! D:
Underbrush, Large Rocks and Large Leaves are now an incredibly SCARCE resourece, which is a HUGE PROBLEM because they're an important component for den crafting - an important aspect of the game which will adversely affect all players.
Not only is it used for multiple quests, but also has a ton of recipes requiring it




EDIT AUGUST 2024: Another recipe was added that uses herbs: Korobela.



✪ What I Am Proposing:

[+] Please pick from the OTHER crafting materials in the game instead of using the oversaturated ones!

In short, so many items are going to waste and rotting in player inventories with next to no uses, while other items are experiencing oversaturation of uses and dwindling the number available, hiking the prices to ridiculous amounts.

If you don't support, I'd like to know why. I appreciate constructive criticism over a simple "no".
