Suggestion: Renting?
Yes, renting.
Renting weapons, armors, helmets, accesories or even take a loan. Renting stuff will allow you to use or get items with lower prices but for a designated time only. Each item has it's own price depending on Quality and Time, you can do this in a new tab in the auction house, if it expires you'll be notified through mail.
You can rent stuff from 1 day to 1 year. I'll be thinking of prices but feel free to suggest other prices if you're not comfortable.

Loans:
As for loans, you will be free to pay it anytime you want but it will enhance if you don't pay it in time, and if that happens 20% of the crowns you earn in runs will be transferred to the loan office.
Tell me what you think! And suggest prices if it's not enough or too much.
I don't like the idea, but even if it get's approved your prices are too unbalanced
I mean a 5* for 10000 a year? Then it's cheaper to rent one till the game dies than actually crafting one.
(for starters it's at least 25000 just for the recipe, then around 70000cr for the fees and materials neccesary)
Renting should be at most for one day only, to try the weapon before making it. And it should cost the same prices you used as a year.
Then it's balanced.
