I can agree , I play mage classes at Present when the cost of Phalanx has jumped from 30-50k to now about 500k-2 million Gil along with other spells , including summoner or Utsumi Ni if i ever whent the ninja route or RDM/Ninja road,
Anyhow I dont mind helping people , but it's hard to help yourself when 20k gil is typicaly all you have , when everyone above you is too busy to help and has a bank roll thats 1-900-GIL-Seller-ish , they can Crush you with the GIL Cugel of 2-5 million or so like its nothing.
of late with Abesseya it's impoved farming trading Domion notes for wepons then selling from time to time but many other spells etc that were previosly avlible at a resonable price has jumped by 10-12 fold in price.
ppl talk of crafting eassy to do once you have a few million gil just lying arround.
if I got a few 100k and Phalnx utsumi ni , anchient magics Lightining spirt dark spirt or Light spirt , then most of my magic scroll woes would be finaly done with .
or I could sink gil into crafting.
it's hard to invest 30k gill whm job or rdm job , heal party (IE cure 6 cura curaga 3 or cura 2) or lvl crafting a handful of lvls , wont see much steady gill till lvl 50 in a craft... of .... as well FFXI 's crafting sytem requires me to make tons of mules for spec lvl crafting
no FISHING 100, ALC 100 , woodworking 100, GS, SMITH, ETC all 100 all on one.
not saying the player supported econ is a bad deal but.... at times finding a crafter ofr woodworking with smithing of x or bone crafting or etc is getting tougher of late.
toss on a side order of 20 page paeprs for my classwork it's tough enough to sqeeze in a few hours or so of FFXI.
honeslty many quest also consume gils for travel or etc. adding gil's or upiing the drop rates on rare scrolls might also benifit the game by making them more Ahem affordable to us non-Gil-seller on speed-dial types whom have a modest sums of gil most the time.
upping Utsumi ni or Phalnax etc might be an option or making them Abyssea buyable with Dom notes or etc. it would be good to have non-tradable versions of Phalanx i can buy with domion notes 600k-1.2 million saved etc. thier are many rare scrolls that are trading for Hyper-inflated prices since abysssea came out compaired to historical contexts. honestly i'd like to see no-trade versions of hard to get scrolls on the Abssea npcs for sale thus can buy scribe and not get ripped off. 50k is resonable 1.2 million isnt.
If making @ 70+ RDM etc a few million gil were eassier ou need 30-50k ahh no problem newbie welcome to the game/linkshell .
wepons arrmor I tend to hode in bank stash or on mules... i may find eassier to let go of to newer players in the linkshell etc despite having jobs that may soon need them for a short time.
as I could find simply buying them npc or ah or etc then selling back once lvl's have made them out moded again.
I sold a coper ore for 8k on AH i had it up for about 300 or so just enough to cover AH fees and make enough to recover fees from other sales, I'm not terrbily greedy , by no means but upping the gil drops on goblins or etc might ease the gil pinching. 150-300 gil a mob in some parts , it would be eassier to get a few scrolls.
it'd be nice to be able to craft stuff for Ls ppl without having to wory about making gil from it or if i fail at making this goodebye 100k i'm broke for weeks.....
yeah sometimes the game has a bit of need for greed 75k spells @ lvl 30 I remember Dispel etc.
kinda hard to rake in that much cash. , i was the LS favor buddy for about 6 weeks to repay that one in favors.
Offten may spells were complealty unaffordable I had to earn them with ALOT of favors , but time to repay others and it's harder to as I lake fame from key quests and hard to lvl summoner to do them.
but I absolutely see his point many quest or jobs he[[ err ahem , my military moth is acting up...
!@#$%^& lol Dynamis etc 500k for an hour glass or etc. I'd get one for everyday of the week i've never be in dyamis yet .. but not having the "GIL Cugel " many others do kinda hard to put some runs together on woot my 50k of normal to have gil in pocket cash.
