Shroud mats~ birds of a feather combined together?

[KannyaAryien]

Ok, I have no idea if this has been suggested before, but here goes nothing.

How about combining ingredients together to make a larger version? 10 small devil scales= 1 medium...10 medium devil scales=1 large?

Might hurt the AH economy a little bit if it was implemented, but I wouldn't mind having a way to put all my smalls and mediums to better use than getting dusty in my bags.

Thoughts? Flames? Slap in the face with a wet fish?

Terrible idea, all that would happen is people would farm parts 1-3 even more than they do now and the only real incentive to complete would be to craft unless you are going for # of completions. I'd rather see a trade in system similar to the relics in GH, say a 3 for 1 system, trade in 3 large arrowheads and get 1 large stone

It would make each shroud feel like progress even if I didn't pull the ingredient I need. And by that I mean, more progress than just more money to buy the ingredient off the auction house.

I think this would work as well.
The amount of 1-3 grinding you'd have to do would be insane, anyway, to crunch them together. We're talking 100 small devil scales to make 1 large. And since people need 3-6 large scales per item...

Can't really agree with this, Tier 3 items are really powerful equipment that is ment to be hard to aquire. If materials could be combined, it would make them too easy to get IMO.

Just my thoughts

You could ransack 1-3 and not have enough for 1 large ingrediant. Doesn't seem ridiculously unbalancing.

However, I'd still prefer a 3:1 or 5:1 ability to turn in ingredients of type X and get back same size ingredient type Y. Finally give a use for all those stupid large bones.
