With Medal of Altana, you can earn 4500 Allied Notes per campaign battle evaluation. It's stupidly easy to amass a large number of notes.

Still end up spending more time farming stones than actually doing vw... which is already a fairly time/gil inefficient event as is except during campaigns

Every time I try to sell voiddust it gets sent back. Doesn't help that people don't want to pay fair value for it.

If folks want to encourage people to put voiddust on the market they have to be willing to pay a price that makes it worthwhile to farm it. I like doing campaign and I used to do it for fun for awhile there... but sometimes you want to spend your time productively too... and right now campaign is a very low payoff even selling dust.

Kind of goes hand in hand with why farm it yourself. The "fair value" of it should somewhat be based on the time it takes to get it. So if it isn't profitable to farm up the dust yourself it probably wont be profitable to buy it at a value based on what it took to get it. It was pretty good back in the day because people were just cashing in points from things they were already doing for other reasons so it wasn't priced as the main goal of their time. Basically adds into everything.

Like right now doing morta can do a batch and run back in about half an hour so like 12 an hour. Based on droprates from ffxidb should get 1.5 hmp, .45 cinder, .2 dross. Based on prices on my server that would be about 750k an hour which is already pretty meh gil per hour but then if you subtract 100k out of that to buy stones it gets even worse especially if you get those gross no cinder runs and end up barely doing more than break even.

Another part is I think so many people are used to seeing none on that they don't bother checking. There is also the whole these fights take so much longer if not campaign and aren't proccing so people either save stones for them or the gil/hr doing these drops to like 200k/hr and then they REALLY don't want to spend gil just for the chance to make peanuts when they can just do a quick salvage run for a lot more
