Legacy Armor, Magic Alchemy n stuff

So gf was running an event, where Legacy Armor (armor that grows with your character) was easier to acquire than usual.

At least for MOST character classes, that is. I don't know the exact math, but usually, to get a legacy set, you would have to be successful on 5 straight attempts at magic alchemy.

So the first attempt is a lock, you don't fail... and the reward is something rather useless. Your choices are a) accept that reward, or b) press your luck and hope for 'No Whammies'. Well if you press your luck 4 times, (level 5 Magic Alchemy) then you would get a legacy armor set (random, 1 of 8). Well at level 2, there is a 25% chance of failure, at Level 3, it's 50%, at Level 4 its 75%, and level 5 is 87.5% chance to FAIL, but the rewards are greater, obviously.

Well the loverlies at GF modified the rules, so that the legacies were level 4 instead of 5, which is great! because now the chances of getting a legacy set are doubled. And, in point of fact, the price of these in the AH had come down significantly! instead of $1500, they were going for $750 or $900. The most highly sought after sets were $1,000 (except Pally of course!) The Paladin Legacy set was selling for approximately $3,500 before this event. I went on the AH looking, and lo and behold, i found 2 sets... for $3,500 each!!!!

So i figured, i could make my own right? I set to the alchemy fires, and an hour later, I had 3 legacy sets. 1 for Assassin, 1 for Ranger and 1 for Mage. (PLUS a really cool mount!) Eh well.. so I sold all 3 sets, and paid a little extra and purchased the Pally set for $3,500.

Somehow I feel cheated though, because had i been an Assassin, I could have sold the other two sets, and ended up with $1000 extra gold in the clear!
