Don't forget some of the other changes in NLC: We had two quests which gave Glove ATT scrolls, which deflated those when they were at high prices. We also got our first monsters which dropped Dark Scrolls. Deflation on Ilbi and blue screamers due to Wolf Spiders, which were both unnecessarily expensive as well. The Warrior Throne even coerced people into doing some of the more difficult quests and spreading their prizes out amongst the economy. We also got the luckless Nocturnal staff as well.
So NLC attacked economic problems on several fronts (Potion costs, Scroll costs, Weapon costs). If we look at it like this, then crimsonwood might only hit one of these points instead of all of them. It could still have a massive impact on just one of these fronts, but not all. This would make it less than NLC but still major. We know we're getting new weapons, and if the weapons we've seen so far are any indication, they're probably pretty good. Most level 80 Taru weapons are great, and the Celestial weapons as well. They're just very rare. Even just making these more common would have a pretty big impact.
