Why is WHM Job so famous and expensive now?

[pepper84]

Hi guys, i am really wondering myself, WHY the spells and gear from whm is so expensive now? spells which were sold for 10k are at 800k now thats crazy ... any idea?

White Mage get Cure 5/6, which makes them the only worthwhile healer in Abyssea. All the WHM specific stuff went up in price dramatically. Check out Cure Clogs, too.

WHM became a very hot job after the release of Abyssea. The price on WHM gear and spells skyrocketed because so many people recently leveled the job on their main characters and/or mules.

Some spells, like Raise3, increased in price because players, these days, are not killing the NMs or doing as many of the BCNMs/ENMs that drop the scroll and there's an increased demand for it.

Invisible is still 40k on Lakshmi, which I find hilarious. It's not just whm, blm's ancient magic and ga III spells are 300kish. It's a combination of the popularity of the job, the lack of supply, and the inflation of gil from abyssea.

I see a lot of dual boxed whms around. Players who want to solo stuff with multiple toons probably don't mind paying extra gil to get spells. Don't even worry about raise 3 if you're new to the job, it's way too expensive to justify saving someone 1,500 experience points.

Some of BLM's spells have always been relatively expensive, but yeah, the demand has definitely gone up as BLMs new and old filled out their spell lists for grellow!! triggers and AoE nuking.

Or, you know, do E-vase-ive Action KS30.

I solo'd it easy as SMN90. Got Raise III in 4 tries. Also got 1m gil from various other drops and rewards.

Tier 4 nukes went up high for since rdm can cast them now, and no one fights the mobs they come off at a low drop rate.

@CrystalWeapon

Invisible has always been high because its not a super common spell and has limited drop mobs. It was generally 30-40k on every server long before Abyssea.

Really? I thought they were pretty common drop in the dunes. Meaning anyone level 30+ can solo farm that scroll, so why waste the 40k on that?
