Cost to buy bread from Risu:

Cost to craft bread:

 
Not pictured: 1 Flour 1 Sugar required to craft. (Random drop from chests or pay 5 Murai from a Portable Kitchen OR Pay 20 Murai from Risu/other vendors. Sugar is the same deal as Flour)

I'm in agreement to remove the crafting fees entirely and if necessary bring back stamina costs if it's really perceived as an issue that some people craft a lot, since for the most part stamina is a fairly equal measure to tax crafting.

Or alternatively just don't restrict crafting behind taxes or stamina costs at all. We already got a huge jump in how expensive recipes are material wise, combined with the new taxes on buying anything from vendors crafted goods became more expensive across the board. Though I don't want to derail the thread too much talking about taxes in general.

If we're going to get rid of crafting fees on donator items we might as well get rid of them all, the boon you get from the donator item is the ability to craft anywhere without being beheld to wherever crafting stations are. One donator item (portable kitchen) even has a shop in it that has discounted reagents. The Portable Science Kit is also immensely useful in that it allows you to break down items at any time instead of having to run all the way to Qwarence in Law's End. The Portable Smithy Kit is mostly just for the crafting, but being able to swap around weapon parts on the fly can be useful for those who run highly polarizing parts like Hellhound Bullets or Light/Fire Arrows.

TL;DR: Remove crafting fees in general, they only hurt crafters who don't already have hundreds of thousands of Murai sitting around to burn on fees.
