I feel like the current cost of crafting a Reinforcement is way too high for what you actually get.

Let's do the math:

• 1,500,000 Yang

To craft 1x Magic Crystal, you need:

• 50x Magic Dust
• 50,000 Yang
• 75% Success Rate

Assuming Magic Dust is worth around 16,000 Yang each:

1 attempt:
50 × 16,000 + 50,000 = 850,000 Yang

For 5 successful Magic Crystals, with a 75% success rate, the expected cost is roughly:

5,666,667 Yang

Current market price is around 2–3kk.

Let's use the middle:

• 2,500,000 Yang

Around 40,000 Yang each on the market:

• 10 × 40,000 = 400,000 Yang

This one is a little harder to calculate.

If we value a cheap upgrade item at around 20,000 Yang, and it takes 3 per Florin:

• 3 × 20,000 = 60,000 Yang per Florin
• 28 × 60,000 = 1,680,000 Yang

---

• Crafting Fee: 1,500,000
• Magic Crystals: ~5,666,667
• Reinforcement Paper: ~2,500,000
• Parchments: 400,000
• Florins: 1,680,000

= ~11,746,667 Yang per Reinforcement

So we're looking at almost 12kk for a single Reinforcement, based on fairly reasonable market prices.

And that's the *average* cost. If you're unlucky with the 75% Magic Crystal crafts, it can obviously become even more expensive.

In my opinion, this makes Reinforcement crafting feel extremely unrewarding and depressing.

At this price point, I think they should either be 100% success rate or crafting materials have to be reduced.
