Goblin Jigs sold by Goblin Trader?

Heya! So this is kind of a thing I've been wondering. Goblin Jigs, according to the tooltip info, are designed by goblin fishers to vibrate rapidly, thus making them more appealing to hungry fish.

That being the case, why don't Goblin Traders sell them?

As an aside, I would wonder also why the Bladed Steel Jigs, another lure, couldn't be sold by the Repository Node in Azys Lla, as they're a real pain to procure the Adamantite for.

Ultimately, I only ask about these because Fishers are reliant on crafters exclusively to make these lures and, while I can craft my own, I know there are plenty of fishers out there who either can't, or they felt forced to level BSM in order to have the ability to craft their own.

Or, you know, you could sell fish and use the gil to buy lures from the MB.

Goblins are, as we know, a greedy, hoarding lot. Their fishers probably don't want to share their secret killer lures with anyone else!

PS. Goblin jig and bladed steel jig are made by GSM, not BSM. The price on the MB is pretty inflated, given how cheap the root materials are. A great example of economics in action! (demand driving prices and all that)

Or lack of supply since idiots like me who can craft it (you don't even have to be 60) don't do so because we are too lazy and/or don't know it's in demand.

i think SE is saving the Goblin Jig up for the Goblin daily quests shop NPC

It's GSM btw and honestly, if everything can be bought from an NPC what is the point of having crafting jobs? While we are at it, let me buy MogPom, blue cloud coral, fanged clams, etc. from an NPC for my crafting - why should I have to catch my own or rely on other players high prices? Yes, it works both ways :p

Goblin Jig can turn up as a Temple Leve reward.
On my server it was cheaper for me to buy some nq fish to turn in for the leves than to buy the lure off the mb a couple of weeks ago.

Lol same, I never thought to sell these. I listed a few and they're starting to sell minutes later.

At this moment crafters almost don't have anything useful to sell, why would we take from them the few things they have?
Fishing can provide some nice gil, if you fish the right stuff, so make some profit and buy the 2 - 3 jigs you need with that money. :)

It certainly doesn't help that it feels like SE made the "Lose your lure" rate 50% in HW

Built and lost a bladed jig in fifteen minutes. One of my fellow FC members lost four in an hour...
