Anyone else holding out on sealants 2.5

in hopes they will reduce the cost to purchase sealants? Im wondering if there is any hints they will lower sealants like they did with the artisian tokens.

I suppose the cost will go down with time, when all players who are not high level crafters and want gil discover they can make a lot of gil just doing the Ixal quests, once they reach the level they start to get Ixal knots. Up to now that doesn't seem to be happening. :-)

I donno I see alot of players on my servers who do it just for the gil. 250k a day for 30 min work is pretty nice :)

.75 sealants a day. Not 1 per day

Anyway, 2.5 is still far away. At least end of January if not mid February.

I really wouldn't expect them to reduce the costs this soon. I expected run away supply since the quests are so easy to do and the rewards are (at least currently) MUCH greater than from the other beast tribe quests, but I know several people, fully aware of the gil to be made, that just have no interest. Personally I've been offing them for gil and will continue to do so until I get my BSM up to the point that I can actually use them. Shouldn't be too much longer, depending on the blessings of the RNG gods.

Same here. Such little work and yet people don't do them. For folks who would like to have their crafters leveled without any real effort, it's a hand out. Do the quests as your highest level crafter. Turn in the quest as your lowest. I HATE crafting. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate it! I leveled a weaver from 1 to 50 just doing BT's! I'm turning in the quests for knots as my CUL even though I do the work as a WVR. Went from 19 to 26 in a couple of days without actually making food. Once the CUL is 30, I'll do the others. This is a gimmee of grand proportions and yet few people take advantage of it.

I am also holding onto the knots, cause I'm hoping the sealants get nerf'd. I purchase one now and again to give to our main FC crafter so she can use them.

So many markets get destroyed by people over selling or just tanking prices, but this one has remained stable. It's definitely a cash cow, but it's proof that people aren't willing to spend a few weeks running the BT's for the reward. IMHO, it's why markets get tanked. The I want it now attitude. But that's for another thread.

Well, The Market's for Crafters is going to be the most stable market. Buying/selling each other's wares to get ahead, and more importantly, the things you use seals fo, are all BiS still. Ever crafter should have them. My Sealants will start going toward my Foragers gear once I'm done crafting m HQ Intricate Brocdes. The last of my Mastercraft jobs fo now.

Sealants are still going for 400k here on Lamia. The value of sealants went down to 200k for a day and then Then a bunch of players bought out the entire supply and reset it back to 400k. I don't regret one bit for buying all of my sealants for 250k on patch day. The early bird got the worm in the case of sealants and reaching 4 star status first. I still haven't done beastmen tribe quests because i totally abhor beastmen tribe quests.

I feel extremely sorry for the crafters just now reaching 4 star because there's zero profit to be had just buying your way into it. 4 star gear sells maybe once a week here at best. The competition for that coveted sale is brutal on top of it. I hope they nerf sealants into the ground next patch and make it so they're obtained from hunt allied seals.

For cost in Oaknots, no, even before the last patch in which SE reduced the cost of Xephatol Water (spelling?) which by omission seems to indicate they might have looked at sealants too and are fine with the cost. Besides that, I just want to get the Artisan/Forager OHs and gear done ASAP then I can actually craft some of those things to sell... maybe, or just get back to other tribe quests.

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.
