So, if many of you don't know I hated the change of prices and the over inflation of gold on the Taurus server. But in the end, I had to adjust to it and understand that it is going to stay this way. However, is this truly a bad thing?
I hate the prices of the books now. A single book could cost around 1-2 m gold. It can be considered easy money... but what about a stable income.
We all know the idea that getting a job in real life is for the purpose of getting money to pay our bills, expenses and then the leftover money is what we use to make our own lives better. But what if that logic can also be applied to WLO?
Compounders who have a good 10+ superior alchemy should understand that a new time for compounding is here.

To put it frankly, we can now make equipment from scratch and profit for more than we use to make them.

Just today, I used everything I had in order to make a Blue Monster Clothes with no books at all. I estimated that I used a total of 400k gold by the end and even had some equips left over to make more BMC's. However, with the current pricing levels of equipment in Taurus, I could sell a BMC for 1 m gold and no one would accuse me of being cheap. In fact, someone told me they loved the price I set for it. That meant I could make 2 BMC's for a profit of 1.2m gold if both are sold.
800k to make 2 BMC
1m each BMC
2m - 800k = 1.2m profit

So, if you're a compounder who has a good amount of gold to sustain buying materials and has a good experience with building armor from scratch, this kind of time in Taurus is perfect for you.

Tell me, do you believe this is exploitation or an opportunity?
