Inflated Shihei Prices hmmmmm......

[Elexia]

It's always the non crafters who complain about prices ^^

I know right? Why would the people being ripped off complain over the ones doing said ripping off? That wouldn't make a lick of sense.

No one is getting ripped off. If they were, then more people would start crafting in order to rip others off. The result would be more competition, more supply, and lower prices.

While I agree to an extent, I think you underestimate how truly lazy the average consumer is of these products >.>

Most are too lazy to level a craft and will pay anything, others will not level a craft and complain.

Personally my Woodworking is ~73 and i don't care to craft Shihei, Last i checked (like a year ago >.>) you would lose money without HQ'ing a lot. If thats changed...

No i am not. If the crafters were really making bank on shihei, there would be people leveling ww up to spam it, and sell it at outragous prices. But no, no one does, because it is not worth it. The truth is, most people can make more money doing other things.

You can make a profit on shihei with 29 ww on some servers, and at 59 on all servers.

1 bag = 1 stack, [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XI FORUM Guidelines.]

Most servers are averaging 80-100k for a stack of 12 bags, 18000 x 12 = upwards of 216000. That was my point.

My mule is 98+2 woodworking, the only job Ive played the last 6~ months is ninja, and I don't even bother to make shihei, am I a step above all those other lazy peoples?

EDIT: I love how andytearcumdvalynn or whatever your name is now constantly reports all my posts, I get such a kick out of it. It's almost as funny as you telling people to not use blade: jin on colibris cause the wind damage will heal them.

This thread is a prime example of everything I pointed out in the "Solution for low level Armor on the AH" thread.

It's always "Herp derp what a ripoff, how dare we pay these prices" instead of "Wow, that's profitable, let's get in on that or farm the profitable materials or something".

Newsflash: 100k Gil is something like 40k Cruor. If you can't make 40k Cruor in 1200 Shihei (or just 100k Gil in any other way), you're doing something very wrong. Whining about things being "Too expensive" on the AH is so 2006.

I don't report anything, your own bad attitude is what gets your posts moderated.

I think i just rekindled my Hatred for Crafting. Went to go craft Shihei because of this thread, My Woodworking is 73. 2 Stacks of Ink/4 Bast got me 10 stacks of Shihei +33.

So i went to buy an other Stack of Ink/2Bast to finish off a full 12 Stacks, and my results
