Currently, the item "Ranger's Runic Studded Leather" has two recipes. One of them (ID 850) is a recipe for making it from scratch and costs 750 CP. The second one (ID 976) is a recipe for upgrading it from the "Lesser Ranger's Studded Leather" item using this armor item + mithral dust, and costs 550 CP. To note, "Lesser Ranger's Studded Leather" costs 300 CP.
This means that to make it from scratch costs 750 CP, and to upgrade it costs 850 CP. It can take someone out of commission entirely if it's their armor that they're upgrading, and having a +100 CP cost seems strange from a storytelling perspective. Why is it that working with the nearly-finished product is somehow more difficult to complete than starting from scratch?
Please change the ID 976 recipe to only cost 450 CP, thus totaling 750 CP spent.
