It seems to me like as the game has progressed "crafting" has become more and more essential and pretty much a gold sink, to get better jewels we need to craft...and craft..and craft again! Instead of how it was before with Locked crates of the watch, now normal locks are pretty much worthless, nothing more than just an ingredient, you need to craft these into large locks AND THEN into massive locks to have a chance at really getting anything worthy and now not only is the process lengthened but we also have to pay gold to craft too!
