Okay, so by far & away this is the worst aug to try to make. Jeweling augs. Oh, hey, get some diamonds, make molten cores, boom, done. Tailoring, oh, it's hard, so just swap furs, you're golden, make great augs!
Smithing. See those molten cores? Still need them. Mine Deepmetal at 2% rate. Oh, wait, there's more! Now you have to do the Murk quest (not required for others), buy THAT stuff. Now, go farm BQ.
This is so out of whack I can't even begin to figure out why it is so much more costly and time consuming than the others. Other than the fact someone hates smiths. In theory, it's great. Best T2 aug shouldn't be easy. But comparing it to other tradeskills, it's just... broken.
Ideas. First off, fix mining rates. 7-8 % on ghost/warp is horrible, start there. Bump it up. No other TS requires you to mindlessly tap a key and watch for macro tests (except fishing, and let's face it, that's just for money or gear). Then bump Deepmetal accordingly. Let's say 20-30% rate on ghost/warp, 10-15% on DM. Not asking for it to be *easy*, just better.
Quit making people farm BQ for hours on end. Put in groundspawns (Wiki is wrong. I have explored every inch of BQ, they are *not* there, if they were, not anymore). Up the drop rate from the miners that you have to kill, getting 5 or 6 killing 50 miners is just wrong.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this frustration.
