Should I spend my crafting resources now or wait for the meta to settle?

[Chloe.J]

I just saw the patch notes for the new season and the changes to the crafting system seem really drastic. I'm not sure if I should invest my saved resources now or wait to see how the meta settles, because getting this wrong could set my main back for weeks.

I saw the patch notes too. With the crafting changes I decided to sit on saved resources for a bit and watch how prices and mats shifted before pulling the trigger. It was nerve wracking to wait, and there were moments I regretted not acting, but after a few days I started to see where things were headed.

I tried dumping a small batch of mats into a couple recipes last night to test the waters. The costs swung all over the place and some results looked promising while others tanked. I didn’t keep a strict metric, just noted what I could sell or reuse, and I’m still unsure.

Is the real problem here the risk of locking yourself into a slow upgrade path, or is the patch just masking bigger balance issues?

I keep wavering between waiting and spending a little, and I keep seeing different opinions in chat but nothing concrete. I ended up leaving some resources in limbo again today and not changing anything, which feels wrong but safer, I guess.
