From Dusk till Fury mint

The price of key items used in crafting food and potions has climbed to a alarming rate. Months ago I could buy Fury mint and Duskbourne aethersands for 1-3k a pop , now theres thousands of these on the board all in stacks of 99 for the humble price of 14k a piece. We need a vendor that sells these items at a set price so people cant monopolize the market on key raid items aka food and potions , the harvest rate on said furt mint and sands sucks too , forcing us to substitue with X pots. At these market rates it would cost our team upwards of 50 mil gil a month to operate with HQ Draconians , i have no problem spending 4 hrs making 800 pots but we need a ceiling on componets of key raid items like alabathian rock salt has.

Is there a reason why you wouldn't be able to go and gather the mats yourself?

Seeing as you're on Exodus, I wonder if that has anything to do with a certain character that is doing the ephemeral node circuit all day every day. Level 60 BLM, 15 archer, 60 MIN/BTN, nothing else unlocked. Nothing fishy here, move along people.

Evidently you guys who say go gather yourself have no idea how many mats a 8 man raid force doing content raids go through unless you love having the corner on the market and dont wanna lose the millions your making atm, of course we can gather it ourselves at a rate of maybe 20 per hour if the fury mint even spawns its rngesus , this is a quality of life issue for raiders spending more time gathering mats than actually enjoying the game.

If that's all you can get then you're doing it wrong. IA > IA > MA gets you enough collectibility to reduce to dusk, use SM as you can if you're not building up GP for fury mint (Blessed Harvest II on them).

800 potions is 60 hours of recast time. If you have retainers gather the other items, you can gather and craft that many in about 20 hours. If you don't want to shoulder your entire raid team, have them do some of the work.

MMO rule #1: More time spent doing dull stuff leads to more and better items.
