First of all, I think to craft something it should be crowns OR energy, not crowns and energy.
To balance that change, I would say higher the craft price for crowns or alter the recipes to make them a little more expensive.
The energy price stays the same though.
New craft prices:
★☆☆☆☆: 800 crowns(was 200) or 10 energy
★★☆☆☆: 1200 crowns(was 400) or 50 energy
★★★☆☆: 2400 crowns(was 1000) or 200 energy
★★★★☆: 4500 crowns(was 2500) or 400 energy
★★★★★: 8500 crowns(was 5000) or 800 energy

If you think the prices are too high, go ahead and post what you feel comfortable with.

Crafting will be way easier. Especially the rich people can get all gear with crowns. I mean, if I have a elevator pass + 600k crowns, I can craft everything.

You can also get endgame stuff and the game will no longer get money because CE won't be needed. This will make it easier for the game to not get money, but like a easy game.

The difference between 8500 crowns or 800 energy is far too obvious to be taken seriously.

No. Just.......no. If people *had* the choice to pick having to use crowns *or* CE to craft items, they'd always pick crowns. This game will *NOT* survive if the dependency upon Crystal Energy is taken away. :/

Instead of what Persef suggested, I feel that this would be a considerably simpler (but still balanced) formula.

★☆☆☆☆: 250 crowns & 25 energy
★★☆☆☆: 750 crowns & 50 energy
★★★☆☆: 2250 crowns & 100 energy
★★★★☆: 6750 crowns & 200 energy
★★★★★: 20250 crowns & 400 energy

As for recipes, leave those alone. They cost as much as they do for a particular reason. >_>

No. Just no. CE prices will

No. Just no.

CE prices will also fluctuate, and will eventually wind up costing more than the equivelant value of crowns, therefore people will always take the cr (i.e, cheaper) option and not use ce. Crafting is a heavy portion of the ce drain in the game and would cause problems if suddenly everyone could craft ce free.

This suggestion will never, ever be balanced as long as ce is optional.

Make more CE sinks then. Simple.

Oh, and make the unbinding and shadow lair CE prices more affordable. More people will find it better worth for the energy that way.

Don't you mean crown sinks?

Crafting equipment is the most elemental stuff everyone needs. There isnt any replacement ce sink capable of matching it.

No, CE sinks.

After giving a much better alternative to the current crafting system, the CE will lose his major use. To compensate that, new CE sinks must be done in order to compensate that balance, so people can still be willing to buy CE.

However, OP's price are a bit too... off. Corinthmaxwell's prices are more reasonable though.

Unfortunately it's only possible with the use of energy, and you can't craft exclusively with mist on 3*+ gear. Does it make any good sense having to use cash currency on something so important on a game that is crafting?
