I don't understand why dice aren't ex and are sellable on AH when they aren't questable/craftable either. "Hey buy this thing for 50k more than you can get it from a NPC because I'm stupid and bought it but don't need it/wasted my money as there's no other way to get this."

I could understand certain dice like the ones sold by the npc in Al Zhabi because he could be captured in Besieged but the Nashmau npc? Why the hell did they think that was a good idea? Yes, they later added dice to SCNM loot but who the hell ever did those on a regular basis? No one.

Perhaps we will see such drops in the new "KCNM" battlefields? Doubtful but, it's possible.

well actually corsair can just buy trump cards.. however travelling to nashmau just to buy them is pretty annoying.

the same can be said as to why Ninjas don't use shurikens or throwing weapons as it is already a costly job.

This comment is actually incorrect.

Ninjas don't use throwing because once you gain access to lots of haste and dual wield throwing becomes a terrible waste of time and incredible loss of DPS.
You actually lose, on average, just over 6 attacks to throw 1 shuriken. So throwing that shuriken means if it doesn't do the same amount of damage as 6 attacks, and gain as much tp as 6 attacks, it was a bad idea to throw it. This is the main reason ninjas stop using shurikens once getting higher in levels.

I think the problem is due to early development of the Bullets.

On Asura, People were selling SINGLE bullets for the Oberon's for 10k each, and people would stupidly buy them thinking "hur hur only use it for Quick Draw". Kinda shot themselves in the foot since selling singles became the "Acceptable" and people still do it.

Either way, I think it would be nice if they introduced cheaper easier to get bullets for higher up, but that would require using really cheap easy to get material (I thought Fools gold was, check prices now...), So its hard to do.

Because if its "Slightly hard to get" like Fools gold, The prices will sky rocket due to high demand and people gouging. Look at when the new ninja tools were added, 30k/stack for Cotton Cloth, Not as drastic as fools gold, but you see my point.

best bet? Add an NPC that sells the bullets.

Expendables such as ammo, especially when this ammo is required to make a job stay on par with other jobs, should be easily craftable, or a slightly worse alternative should probably be obtainable from an NPC shop. Same reason why ninja's throwing shit never took off. However, nin always had melee to fall back on, and they were also good at tanking stuff so they always had a good role to play. Ranger is however a ranged job, shooting stuff from a range is their game, and for that you need a steady supply of cost efficient ammo.

If you would read the thread, you would see 2 posts up I stated the real reason throwing never took off for ninja.

We need less misinformation regarding this topic, throwing didn't take off because it wasn't good, not because shurikens were hard to get.

The good ones were!
