    $\begingroup$ Also: Because players created crafts to train their skills, that also devalues the resulting crafts. If every apprentice is cranking out "Magic Armor" for practice, then they end up basically worthless. Runes in Runescape are like this. Hard to craft, but you get experience points. They're virtually worthless to sell though, because they're so easy to come by. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 12, 2021 at 23:39
  • $\begingroup$ The way this makes sense is that a fully trained blacksmith can make high-end armour which is in demand and profitable. They essentially pay thousands of gold pieces for training (buying the raw materials and throwing away the finished "practice" armour). $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 13, 2021 at 14:36
