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.
Isaac, Jungle Lilies are tradeable right (like if a quest gave out 5 or something, people can sell them in fm/give them to friends to make them)? Could that be their way of making them "easier to obtain". Im an archer so I can only speak for the bow, but a bow needing less strength than an attack yet having the attack equivalent to a perfect one is godly to say the least. They still have to be <somewhat> hard to get or it'd completely upset the balance (I can see it now... if they're easy to obtain, all the people with level 30 pets will be teeing off and making major profits xD).
As I mentioned in the beginning of my thread, I was just saying that the earlier TCG items are "extinct". As hero said, the prices right now are reasonable other than 60 mill for 10 slot shields and whatnot but Facestompers when they came out were 45 mill and are now over 100 for clean ones (least I think... I havent been checking prices lately). With the supply continuing to dwindle, it'll just go higher and higher. The way to put a stop to that is to have either the items to make them drop from monsters or have the final product itself an equip drop (or perhaps a boss drop?).
Those are just my opinions though. That being said, if face stompers, Stormcaster gloves, taru weapons and whatnot become easier to obtain, then scroll prices will probably inflate.
