when i first started doing systematic research for the 61+ spells i thought "sheesh this is confusing and a lot of subcombines!" and i have a bank over-filled with bags of different inks, parchment solutions, quills, thickners, parchments etc. If you keep everything on-hand then it doesnt really take up less space than using words and pages... its still a lot of crap. But keeping bags of it is a lot easier than making 1 ink, quill, parchment etc at a time every time you want to make a spell.
After spending a couple weeks with it and memorizing along the way which parchments were used for which level spell, after getting recipes for quills and inks on my spell kit recipe list, i realized that the new system is actually more "systematic". Who'd of thunk it, right?
It does take a while to get used to i think, and im still getting used to the parch names for the sub-61 spells (and the papyrus for lvl 60 spells STILL doesnt seem to be dropping on The Combine), but really it makes a lot of sense once you get the hang of it and its so much easier than farming words.
It's pretty easy to guess how to make a spell with the info provided in the books in-game. I had a necro ask me for the lvl 59 pet and i didnt see the spell on eqtraders so i guessed and was able to figure it out (after she handed me the words to make it and i had to break it to her that the 300p she just spent in baz on words was worth nada
) Since the lvl 61+ spells ARE on eqtraders and the new system follows a logical pattern for inks, quills, thickners, its pretty easy to deduce what mats will produce a desired result.
