Crafting Quest Cost Comparison

"It's a graveyard for the arrogant..." --Baraka v • e • c (623) This article is about removed content, an article of a subject that is no longer available in TERA and very unlikely to ever return due to development decisions. The article remains here for historical purposes.

The following chart is a comparison of the monetary cost it would take to make 25 quest items (thus completing the crafting quest), to make only 9 quest items (sufficient to level up 50 levels), and to create 9 refined materials (also sufficient to level up 50 levels). Crafting a single quest item grants the player 6 levels. Creating a single refined material will also grant the player 6 levels. The numbers given below are taken from the En Masse crafting guide.
