No, you need more than just gil, you need a SUPPLY. Which was an issue with alex for a mythic before but isn't so much.

I managed to get my harp to 95 because 1. Friends and ls mates who would sell me plates for 100k and not the 120k+ people keep selling them for. 2. Having to get the crafting mats from some VWNMs that drop plates caused a slight uptake in plate supply on my server. 3. One friend spent a TON of gil on plates for me <3. 4. My brother and some others donated plates as well. 5. I spent my every last bit of gil I had had horded for two years.

Now I need 48 more cinders to 99 the thing. Even if I did managed to make back my gil (which I am working on!) I can't finish it. There are almost no cinders on Sylph! And even when there are people are selling them for up to 5 mil each. Yeah... no. But even if I somehow magically made 240 million gil to buy 48 cinders for 5 mil each (HAHAHAHA) There aren't 48 cinders on Sylph! They drop from what? Four mobs? That don't drop too much else anyone cares about, that can turn into right pains if you screw up oh AND the drop rate is "balanced" to 18 people allys (and even then is crap.)

I can't buy cinders that don't exist. I can do Morta/Bismark et al for days and not get a single cinder. And then let's not forget, I'm not the only one with a 95 harp who wants to buy.
