handicraft is now at 10K

running into issues making higher level items

handicraft items are randomly linked to an element when they are created but only one type "earth" can be upgraded to the next level

when the earth item is upgraded it's element type is randomised

This basicly means that to get 1 tier 5 item I need to make 256 tier 1, 64 tier 2, 16 tier 3 and 4 tier 4 to get the final tier 5 item or get lucky

with this in mind i can not just make someone a tier 2+ item
the best i can do is to make everyone a teir 1 item and in the process build up a stock of "earth" tier 1 that can be upgraded

It's the same thing for armor crafters and a couple other tiered professions. Which is why gear is such a grind and why mats, gold, labor pool stacking and the daisy chain pyramids equate to getting the top tier shit.
