Recently the cost of cross-realms chalk was brought down a lot. it now costs me 26772 silvers in the Landing with a mediocre amount of trading skill. It is brought down to 24094 with citizenship.

I could be wrong, but it seems like the cost of the shadowglass lens (25000 silvers) was set at that at least partly because those in charge did not want cross-realms chalk obtained for too cheaply. Since the price of cross realms chalk has been brought down a lot (cut in half), can we please get the shadowglass lens price brought down?

as it is, there is absolutely NO incentive to use alchemy to make the chalk. Here's the cost as-is:
Shadowglass Lens: 25000
Uncut Diamond: ~5000 (what you could sell it for to gemshop).
Aster Opal: ~5000 (what you could get for it at gemshop).
Quartz Sand x2: 900
Essence of Air: ~250 (what you could get for selling it at alchemist).
Vial of Pearlescent Oil: 100.
ROUGH TOTAL: ~36250 silvers.

We're already spending extra time to make the chalk; I feel like it should always be cheaper to make it than to buy it already made.
