Issue Details

Platform:PC

Context:

Checking recipes of newly added CC stuff

Expected:

Fair crafting recipes.

Reproduce:

I know that it's not a bug yet and more like a miscalculated balance, but let's start with the game design of Hearts of Darkness:
According to Trove wiki (which is very outdated at this point) & Trovesaurus - Heart of Darkness is a rare material that can be obtained only from Shadow Caches, either in 1-2 as uncommon drop or in 3-10 as rare drop. Pretty much simple, right? Now let's go to the problem. Looking at newly added CC collectables i've found 2 allies that need very huge amount of Hearts to be crafted. Reason why it's a problem is because of sources from which you can obtain hearts, and as you can see - you don't earn lots of them in a short time. Average end game player may have 200-250, but for middle & newbies? - opening Chaos Chests would be only hope. Okay, so the farming is not really an option, how about buying them off market? Well... it's possible, but looking at the price of these Hearts (3rd image) - you'd spend around 2 million flux to craft it. What is the solution to this problem that i see? make amount of needed hearts for recipe to be 5 times smaller than it is right now. Again, it's not really a bug, but a bit of balance would be nice to see, because right now - it's not really friendly game design...
