This.

Have you seen the Lute of Free Fury recipe and Necklace of the Sneak Recipes?
But I do hope they stick with the additional DP, MS, and PS for recipes.

I'd love to see the Mystic Silk and Darkwood Plank numbers swap on next year's

It would also be nice to see the recipes require less golden fleece than the 2019 ones (or have a higher percentage of monster bits in future treasure drops). 2 GF for the legendary when there is such a high demand on monster bits already (plus the normal transmute ingredient requirements) is steep.

I suggest either drop them to 1 GF for legendary transmutes or reduce a comperable amount of the trade 1 goods by 30-35 pieces.

I'm on the other side of the fence. I like the fact that the Relic's now require one and the Legendaries two. IMO a Relic should require one as it's a way of including something that can only be obtained by having gone on a TD run. It's a Relic, people should be doing runs in order to craft one. Two for the Legendaries make sense. And Fleece still seem priced ok on the secondary market compared to years past. So I say stay the course.

Kind of a be careful what you wish for. I recall last year when everyone was concerned the price was going to fall out of the fleece market because bits were to plentiful.

I'd agree with that. Even with all the additional Fleece / Monster Bit requirements, Golden Fleece seem to be stabilizing at around $60, which is pretty affordable. I haven't had any problem finding random bits for $6 to transmute into Fleece.

Darkwood Plank are like vermin. They seem to multiply. Use 15 and end up with 30 more.

In addition to a path for the +2 Holy Great Sword, I would love to see a transmute path that involved Welfor's in some deeply discounted way.

Also add my vote to those with too many plank and silk.

At least they gave us Belt of Ogre Mage Power to soak silks this year. I think I’m down to 40 or 50 silks.

Honestly I think we may just need to rebalance what goes into what trade good from the ground up at some point. It seems like the growth in slots combined with planks as a catch all has just created an ongoing flood.

Agreed.
Bead to Philosophers Stone seems like a good start.

More Philosophers Stones? Please no.
