Dark Matter

[Zangetsu]

Anyone find a way to mine it up forcefully ? Right now it just feels like its random like the Deaspected crystals. I got 3 grade 5 in about 30 mins of mining. They were obtained with other items not as an actual item you mine. Just like D crystals. If you got any info please share. thankyou

I've heard the only forceful way to obtain them is doing the leves that have them as rewards. Aside from that I think it's supposed to be random. I guess SE thinks if they were common their economical wealth would be too cheap. Just another way to try and stem some kind of economical growth.

no way of trying to get them, they are definatly just random. And you get the grade of dark matter depending on the grade of mine you are at.

Yeah I forgot to mention that ^

That in it's own way is atleast conrolling what grade you can farm.

Yeah, i considered the economy with how slow the rate was. I haven't checked out the NPC price on it yet either. If that's somewhat high then gatherers will have another nice item to make some gil off of.

I figured that was the case. Sucks to go back to lower grades if you want to gather some but at least you know where to get it and maybe the % is higher when your way over that grades rank. Will have to try it out.

Grade 1&2 are under 1k. Grade 3 is like 2.5k. Grade around 4k. Grade 5 is 4.8k.

price is not high enough for gatherers to make decent gil off of it for how rare they are when trying to gather. and the lower the grade doesnt seem to increase chance of dark matter.

[Zangetsu]

It is another thing you know will sell. Even if it takes a while to make a stack its still worth selling.

I've never known anyone to buy dark matter from a retainer or PC... The NPC prices are soo inexpensive it doesn't make sense to go bazaar hopping.
