For cost on MB (obviously a patch won't change this), yes. They sell quickly and price fluctuates between 400-500k on my server. I have only bought 2 at just under 400k each because I had recently made some good sells. Ideally for me though I would like to see them at 150-200k before buying many at a time.

wow 400k? they run around 250k on my server. Heh Mastercrafted Demis were down to 300k today.

MCs for us have been down to as low as 600k recently which is a huge reduction so I think things are moving in the right direction. I would love your prices tho :P

Personally, I have found making and selling mc demi such an incredibly fast way to get gil that I just buy them. Weaver desynthesis of bridesmaid pants and weaver tool desynthesis make profits from everything you get. Easier than farming oaknots

That is about the same thing that happened on Brynhildr. About 2-3 weeks ago, after steadily declining since they were first launched, sealants jumped from 180k to 350k practically overnight and have stayed there ever since.

It is so frustrating. I have worked so hard to make money. I have 26 million effing gil and that is STILL not enough to purchase the sealants and mastercraft materias to upgrade all my DoH. And what do I get for it in the end? I can make expensive, inferior i110 equipment for myself or can attempt to sell said exorbitantly expensive equipment and probably not recoup my costs, let alone make a profit.


I sometimes wonder if I should just give up on progressing past 3-star as a crafter. I guess I kind of have already. I might jump in later if it wasn't so ridiculous.

Oh, and I have been doing desynth for MCDs. I'm just in a sour mood because I have only gotten 2 for the last 10 artisan needles.

Yeah, put me down in the "waiting and hoping they nerf sealants someday" camp.
