Increase crystal supply

[Godofgods]

I'm sure non-crafters think the idea of having a "crystal mule" is hilarious, but the sad truth is alot of people really do pay $1 extra a month just to have a place to put their crystals...

even crafters find it hilarious.. i have 7 mules for it.

and if their planning on giving an extra 60 crafting levels, allowing to have two 100's they had better increase the crystal supply. Theirs not enough on AH to go around msot of the time as it is. If they make that change, and increase demand on crystals, we oculd have a much bigger problem if supply is not increased

Generally when theres a shortage on the AH i'll shout at the lowbies to go farm some for me, they shout back "Lol stfu abyssea onry"

eh... this happened to me yesterday, crafting shihei for my NIN. Used up all my crstals, but got 1 break, leaving me with 1 ink and 2 parchment--needed just 1 crystal to finish out my mats. They wanted 1k for 1 crystal, 4-5k a stack--but no stacks were up. Soo..... I got on BLM/WHM and tele mea and went to find me a wind elemental (I refuse to be gouged like that).

Not that hard to do...just have to be willing to do it.

While many have said 'jsut go farm' that sidesteps the issue of no supply on the AH. People buy on the AH because they dont have or dont want to spend a massive amount of time farming. Thats the reason for the AH. But with no supply, their screwed. And if the demand is higher then the supply, adjusting it so their both somewhat equal wont decrease the price much to sellers.

They are correct. Sub Ranger and go to the zone that has the weather or hit Sky. Once the AH's get combined, the few newbies we get should be able to make bank. It's the primary source of funds for newbies. So, lets not nerf their chances to make gil before they even have a chance. At least with the AH combination they will have a better chance to find gear and make money off crystals. And, as a high level, you should have no problem farming them yourself if they aren't on the AH.

Crystal supply is fine, I see dozens of stacks of crystals at AHs whenever I browse them, and they drop from every exp mob on the planet.

Complaining about crystal prices is just like all those idiots on ffxiah whining about undercutting. Crystal prices and supply is the same for everyone, if you have to pay 3k for a stack of crystals to make whatever you want to make, so does everyone else who's going to make the same item, so you should still be able to compete with their prices.

Unless your competition is farming their own crystals and using them to craft something with a smaller profit than selling the crystals they farmed directly, but then they are actually losing money, not making money. You can't expect to earn money on something if you're competing with people who are willing to pay others or their work.

No what explains it is your trying to buy mats in a starting city. most people don't sell things there. Until AH merger, you'd have better luck in Jeuno. People are going to sell mats where most people are hanging out and where they can make the most money for overcharging for someone elses convenience.

And I bet if I go to Sandy, there'll be similar results.
