Charging to have the privilege to use your shield = bad.

If you can't understand this, I suggest you should either shut up or walk into traffic.

Again
Do you know what effort of gil and time is involved in making an Escutcheon?


If you dont, I suggest you (as you so eloquently stated) should either shut up or walk into traffic.

it also has a cooldown, does it not? so using it for others is potentially taking away an opportunity for the shield owner to make gil themselves.

if you don't want to pay for him to craft for you, make your own shield. entitled shits smh

Examples of helping out:
Asking someone to make an Amaltheia leather for your relic shield because theres none on the AH
Asking someone to make Astralgoi for SMN AF quest because theres none on the AH
Asking someone to make one of the 105 materials for AF/relic upgrade because theres none on the AH
etc etc


Examples of exploitation:
Bringing someone a stack (or more) of materials to try to make an HQ2 of the brand new Limbus armor so you can save a REM's weapon worth of gil to have your own brand new shinies.

The enchantment lasts 30 minutes with a 60 minute cooldown.

I imagine, considering the cost and rarity of the craft materials of SU5 equipment, that most crafters will save up 1-2 stacks before they start a crafting session and even if the shield wouldn't increase crafting speed they'd be finished in less than 5 minutes.

Even if some individuals have enough resources to, in theory, pump out SU5 12hours/day I suspect there is not enough demand to make it feasible.

Summed up:
1: I'm to lazy to do my part.
2: I want YOU to take all the risk.
3: But I want the profit still.
My man
Do you know what it costs to get a crafter shield?

2 mil per attempt is not a ripoff considering even a HQ1 is massive profit

presuming they wont r0 on a HQ2, but my understanding is if the discussion is made in game, GMs will protect against said fraud.

Does not negate that the changes he is doing compared to just selling items is exactly these 3 points above.
Their reasons for not wanting to make the stuff to sell themselves is known only to them. Maybe they dont want to AH camp for mats? Maybe they dont want to waste time estimating how the market will look?

There are 14 other known active Toreutic Escutcheons on Asura, why not ask them if they would do this service for free for people they dont know?
