Dravanian Mistletoe now sold by NPC

What the point of unspoiled nodes if can just go buy the item off a NPC? With the update Dravanian Mistletoe and Coerthan Tea Leaves can be bought from a vendor now. I know it still farmable but for people that do buy it there really no point going to the MB (unless looking for HQ) and getting it from gatherers when they can just to to the NPC and buy it. Any thoughts on this?

Buy from the vendor and post on the MB for a higher price. It's amazing how much that still works.

Indeed! Makes me glad though, that I had not gone and gathered a ton of those things, the way I had been planning on!

at least on my server these were the only items that were still haflway profitable with every other mat falling below 400gil per while these remained at a decent price. now its a joke how little they sell for on the market.... guess i lvled btn for nothing but script farming now.

wat npc, I have a ton of waters but few mistletoe

Which NPC sells them? Creating a thread without revealing this is kinda funny.

First merchant NPC on the left from the MB in Ishgard.

I don't disagree that something needed to be done, considering how many recipes require holy and hallowed water, but slapping it on a vendor was super lazy. They should have increased the base yield off the node instead.

This would be the logical solution . . .

Too many crafters complained about it and as they have the tendency to be the richer (thus more powerful) members of Eorzea they get listened to.

Gatherers like myself were shafted.

Ishgardian Tea / Dravanian Mistletoe / Abalathian Rock Salt / Abalathian Mistletoe

Its locked behind the main story quest, I get it. But man, they should've moved it.

This change was needed since it was simply retarded to have items used in common synths that people will need to level up their DoH walled behind unspoiled nodes.

Mistletoe was used in level 52 synths and was gated behind a level 57 story quest. It was stupid.

Actually only gated behind a level 55 storyline quest. Least it guaranteed something for the effort from the node, unlike say crawler cocoons which are gated behind level 58 story quest and is all rng of what amount or even it will even drop any at all.
