So read the quotations and I'll present my problem afterwards.
"You must supply raw materials worth at least half the
item’s Price. You always expend at least that amount
of raw materials when you Craft successfully"
"If your attempt to create the item is successful, you expend
the raw materials you supplied. You can pay the remaining
portion of the item’s Price in materials to complete the item
immediately, or you can spend additional downtime days
working on it."
I cannot for the love of role-playing understand that when you roll your check after 4 days and it IS successful (meaning your create the item even though its not technically "completed") and you expend half the items cost in materials, HOW does expending another half of materials (the same amount of materials) complete it immediately and not another 4 days? Sounds like you'd have an awful lot left over.
Example
Say half the items cost in materials is 4 ingots you craft the item over 4 days and with a successful craft check you create the item but to complete it you use 4 more ingots instantly. What? What sense does this make? If the check and days spent determines whether you make the item how does using the SAME AMOUNT of materials complete it instantly?
I'm a logical person and this I cannot make into logical sense. If ANYONE can explain this better than "its a cheap way of saying it either cost you full price to make an item thus making no money on it OR spending many days to create something at half the cost" then PLEASE do.
Just can't seem to wrap my head around this at all.
