Bullets, and overall cost of the job

[Thunderlips]

4752 gil to buy a stack of cards from Jajaroon.

On our server, light and dark clusters both cost 5k each, so even if you had a 100% HQ2 rate, you'd be losing money crafting those. Before I got armageddon, light and dark shot were my 2 most common quickdraws anyways. Factor in the annoyance of gathering the ingredients and everything else, crafting cards just seems like a poor option to me.

I look forward to craftable trump cards though. Perhaps they'll fix up all the recipes so they just use a crystal instead of a cluster, and the trumps will use something only slightly more exotic.

I mostly use elemental shots and all those clusters are 1-2k, but yeah with light and dark being closer to 5k and 3k on Odin that's not worth the time/effort to make vs buying from npc.

I still have a stack of polyflan paper and 1-2 stacks of mercury in storage so its not as annoying to me, but I get your point for most players.

SE needs to respond to this thread.

SE has already responded to ammunition concerns from both ranged jobs. They don't need to do it in every single thread about them.

You also need to stop bumping everything without contributing anything meaningful to the conversation. As is, it's just spam, and it's annoying.

Which threads are you talking about? With the namechange thread that's other people that are bumping and everything that's been needed to be said has been said.

I did bump the Bahamut one yes, but I didn't get an answer. As for this thread, i'm agreeing with it and the more people that agree the more likely change happens. But if you want ideas, I think they should add more bullets to NPCs.

Also, I don't see you saying this to other people who post a lot more than me.
Is this due to our opinions differing on a few subjects?

There was a response from Camate (I think) in the general forum saying "We've passed on your ammunition concerns for the dev team btu hadn't posted anything as we hadn't heard anything back yet". They also upped the drop rate on Rusuzor Fangs which are needed for the top tier arrows. It might not affect Cor, but Cor isn't the only Rng job - it's a start and hopefully they will continue to ease up on ammunition costs in the future.

To be honest, Wildfire not using Bullet Damage (meaning you can use Bronze Bullets) is a big step in it's self as 20k can synth you like 5 stacks, and whilst that'll only be about 1/4 of your fired shots normally, it's gonna be over half during voidwatch.

I've seen a massive influx of Oberon's Bullets at cheaper/equal price to Steels on my server, so they did something. I'm assuming that the ore now drops in WoE or something like that.

The pouches drop in GoV brown chests so some more will be showing up on AH's. Still 40k for a pouch (compared to the higher damaging silver bullet pouches for 10k or the slightly less powered steel bullets at 25k). Still not going to be shooting them routinely.

[Greatguardian]

Aha, that would be it. Yeah. The price apparently went back up on Cerberus anyways. For a little while, they were cheaper than steels. Glad I got a decent supply while they were cheap, I guess.

Something similar happened on Phoenix, and it's interesting to finally know why. They dropped to a half-way decent price for a bit, then rose in price but at least they continue to exist. It's not the change I hoped for, but there has been a change.

I find it pretty funny that instead of just doing the obvious thing and making materials available for the bullets to be more commonly crafted or desirable to craft, a Development Bro got the bright idea to just have the bullets drop directly from Chests of Grounds of Valor. It's like telling someone your car is out of gas and watching them use their gas can to water the car like a flower.

I'll take what I can get, though.

I've been trying to get my friend back into the game; he was a lvl 40-ish cor when he left (before book burns).
The main issue with him playing again is 1) the cost of bullets and 2) difficulty in skilling marksmanship up (which obviously requires more bullets).

For someone who's leveling his first job (with LB's thrown in), and not wanting to leech in aby the money-making options to support cor are limited.
