TaruTaru Rice

[Tarquine]

With the introduction of Delve, there has been a massive surge in the need for accuracy food, i.e. Sushi.

This is great news for the cooks, as Abyssea saw acc being capped on gear, and most foods take a hit because a lot of people just didn't need food for that content.

What is not so great, is the need for sushi has spiked the prices, which has in turn brought back the notorious Tarutaru rice guild bots. Somehow the instant I (and others) turn up to buy the rice from the guild, it is gone! sold out before even 5:01 ticks over. Rice is the only ingredient causing the glut, and it is not only used in sushi, so i feel sorry for anyone wanting to use it in other recipes. The fact is that there are many recipes (including many different sushis) which need it, but there is such a bottle neck in sushi that it is causing people problems.

I know what you are thinking - "You can garden your rice, make your own)" Well yes, we can. But an average of 10 stacks every 3 real life days is not really enough to satisfy the market's insatiable appetite for sushi! I have stacks of fish waiting on my gardening... (again, even mules have a long cool off period before you can garden properly!!)

So, here is a suggestion: Put TaruTaru rice in an normal NPC and not just the guild NPC. I don't care if you hike the price up a bit, or put it in the tenshodo guild NPC etc. But for the love of rice, please make it available so that we can cater for the playerbase's needs for accuracy!

Grow rice on your moogle farm, when it is released :D

Perhaps if you paid 80k/stack for it, the AH would have plenty for you to buy. (Like on Odin. They really value rice there!)

This is a great idea! While you're at it please do something about all the bots...they're easy to spot, they're the only ones that sit in front of the guild shop and the AH all day long.

Less then a week later, it has dropped to 30k on Odin, with 136 stacks on sale.
On my own server (Bismarck), TT rice is selling for 2k a stack with 46 stacks available.

Sorry, but I really don't see any special need for the stuff to be on a NPC if it's this abundant from players. (Although probably subject to supply and demand. Too much supply right now, so prices plummet until stocks are no longer replenished.)

It's true- stuff that has high demand goes through these cycles of demand/low supply into no demand/high supply.

The solution, as always is to be patient. Or grow some yourself. Otherwise, you're paying however much other people want for their time growing it for you.
