    The Shinto Kanamara Matsuri (かなまら祭り "Festival of the Steel Phallus"?) is held each spring at the Kanayama shrine (金山神社)in Kawasaki, Japan. The exact dates vary: the main festivities fall on the first Sunday in April. The penis, as the central theme of the event--is reflected in illustrations, candy, carved vegetables, decorations, and a mikoshi parade.

    The mikoshi parade bit is really amazing and makes more sense to me than "Sub White Mage for ALL THE THINGS!"

    On Phoenix, stacks are selling for 50,000 each and there's a stack of pouches up for sale already. So availability is pretty good thus far, and I can only assume price will go down once the bullets aren't so shiny and new.

    Supposedly it has something to do with being supportive of their mages. Like how you see so many JP DDs subbing Ninja, DNCs focusing on waltzes, etc.

    I pretty much avoided the crap out of JP-led merits at 75 because they would always get mad at me for subbing WAR and taking damage instead of WHM and curing.

    I am guessing its because they see Cor as Brd 2.0 and nothing more than that.

    I'm pissed about the bullet dmg, even at this level THF has access to a bullet with better dmg @Lv73 with Cannon Shells than COR... We're up to lv99 and COR has still yet to break beyond 75 ammo wise regaurding dmg.

    I doubt the price will drop if orichalcum ingots continue to hang out around 50k.

    This is the big problem with ammo. Even with people not trying to gouge ranged attackers the price of ingredients is getting crazy and the availability is nothing great.

    I'm looking at abandoning RNG entirely. Or at least until I seriously decide to level alchemy, GS and synergy. Adaman bullets are 100k a stack. Totally unacceptable SE, shame on you.

    Wait what?

    I'm sorry, this is Corsair we're talking about. If you're not willing to drop 50k/stack on wtfamazing bullets, you should probably consider leveling a less expensive job. Like maybe Ranger.

    Will this affect the price of salvage gear and once the new salvage gear updates hit won't that also affect the cost/price of these? AKA, going up!

It encourages you to explore the whole breadth of content rather than asking you to bumrush and bypass all the old content just so you can grind the newer content. This is a model used by other MMOs such as WoW, and while I don't have anything against people that enjoy this model, if I wanted to play an MMO with that model there are many, many games vast superior to XI in terms of mechanics and especially customer service that offer such a model.

    50k/stack only bugs me a little. 100k/stack is ridiculous. 1 million gil/stack (current Odin prices of Orichalcum) is obscene. Personally I don't think bullets should cost more than 20-30k a stack given neither COR nor RNG are considered elite DD anymore. I've always accepted the price of admission is high to these jobs but its getting crazy again. That might satisfy those that get some kick from playing a rare job, but I like COR and RNG for their mechanics. Bullet cost is only detrimental.

    I think SE really is trying to eliminate these ranged attacker jobs from the game.

    COR in Voidwatch is pretty much the strongest DD in the game, just saying.

    Community Perspective is pretty silly when most of the community couldn't tie their own shoelaces with a manual and 5 wikis telling them how to do it, lol.

    I don't see a big issue honestly. 1 Orichalcum ingot costs 20-25k on my server which can yield up to 3 stacks of bullets. AH price is still a bit high(50-60k/stack), but it's not that bad.
    Unless you wanna shoot these for Last Stand as well.
