4. 10m gil
Total 100'000'000 gil - to a mercenary group that will help me get through The Raven, Nevermore fight. I'm THM: INT 395, m.acc 511 (with food).

If you cant sell that gear for the Prices you list, to pay for this, then the gear is not worth it to a group of 7 people to carry you.

Double meld Felt hats for 20mil? Why am I not on your server?!

Well, I didn't try to sell this gear yet, I was actually planning to use it in 2.0 but I really want this earring. And about prices - it costed me 15m to produce Hat, so 20m seems fair. I also bought belt for 55m, so, again, 60m seems fair to me, especially since it's quadro-meld. Same goes to gauntlets. So this gear does worth the money I listed it for.

P.S. And even if you think that this gear wirth less, avarage price for Raven fight is 40 million, so even if you cut all prices by half - it's still more, then people offer for this fight.

hmmm, I am not in a position to help for this but unless your servers economy is radically different to Durandal.

Cobalt Plate belt, hard to judge but probably not far off the mark as it has the same enmity value as my triple meld IV belt.

Felt Hat of Int with a double IV meld is about 2-3million gil, just because it cost you 15million to make it doesnt mean that it is worth 15mil, whats the price of inteligence materia on your server? to justify a 15mil price tag it would have to be in the region of 1.5mil per Int IV materia.

Sentinel Guantlets Doublemeld, double melded with what? a pair of sent Gaunts will sell for 400k on Durandal (although supply is limited) and Str and HP isn't incredibly expensive so maybe 4-5 mil for a Double IV meld.

Also stating the price you paid for something then marking up the price to make a fictitional profit is probably not the best way to sell this gear. Also bear in mind the value of melded gear has decreased witht he knowledge that multimelds are losing the potency that they currently enjoy will devalue those melds but as you stated the average price is 40mil so this should cover it.

Your Thm build is solid enough though, you hit the retarded Acc requirements for this fightr whilst keeping Int high, so best of luck with your Darnus fights ^^

Well, yeah, INT III go for 300~400k per piece and IV go for 1.5~1.8 mil. Gauntlets, yes, are double IV. I can also throw on this list:

1. Felt Bracers+1 Att+70
2. Cobalt Celata (Blue) MND+45
3. Cobalt Cuirass (Blue) VIT+47

I'm sure that the price of those items combined exceeds 100 mil if not more.

The sad part is that I have been shouting in Ul'Dah for 3 days already, and not a single reply - noone wants to touch this fight ever again. But thank you =)

I'm on your server and your prices are about WAY to high.
int 3's are about 100k int 4's about 400-500k
your hat's worth about 2.5 million thats what i sell em for when i make em.
your gauntlets are worth 4 maybe 5 million. (hp isn't to desirable hand meld as militia gauntlets are easy to get)
you're plate belt 15-20 million maybe at a push. you can triple 63 emnity 3-3-4. probably double a 3-3 belt for less than a million then it's just the price of the 4s

so you're 100 million is realistically about 25-30 million. and perhaps even less in arr

Well, when I was buying them they were going for 300~400k, I was going for triple meld, so first I bought all INT III in AH and then bought all materia I was able to get. Out of 100 INT III + 15 and 10 INT IV + 20 I made 1 triple meld hat and 1 double meld left. Also there is big difference between INT IV + 16 (which, indeed, might go for 500k) and INT IV + 20, which goes for 1.5~2 mil, so learn the market before making that kind of statements. All togather it costed me 105 mil in gil to produce this triple-meld hat.

I can agree with Gauntlets, but not with the belt. Just checked AH to be sure, Enmity III goes for 500k Enmity IV goes for 1.5~2 mil. Again, you need to be eather very lucky or 50+ tries for 1 triple meld. 50*2*500 = 50 mil for ~10 double melds. So production price of a double meld belt is 5 mil. Then you have ~17% for a triple meld which is 10 tries * 5 mil + 10*2mil, so production cost of the triple-meld IV is 70 mil gil, and that is only if everything goes according to plan. And since there is no better piece for belt so far and it can't be replaced, I don't see why this price should be less.

things are only worth what people are willing to pay for them, and so close to 2.0 i doubt theres many that will drop that kinda gil on those items.

I hope you find someone to help you out with the raven fight.

Just like other said melds are worth less in 2.0 so no one really going to buy them right now. In 2.0 HQ items would give better chance at high T materia also if you SB the gear before adding materia you get more % and melds getting nerf so i see HQ gear costing more due to this change.

But anyways i hope someone can help you with the fight there still good melds none the less.

35 INT hat - the hat itself has 4 int so its 31 int from materia lol

assuming you really used INT+20 materia that means you doublemelded it with a +11 - and then, good sir, you made a pretty retarded decision :3

I have listed final stats and hat itself actually has int 5 since it's +1, I melded it with 2 III +15. You should have asked first or at least checked my bazaar (I have all those items listed there), before assuming anything.

It costs 500k+ to craft single +1 hat. Usually it takes 2 tries per 1 hat. So out of 100 tries you get 50 hats+1 and ~9 double-melds out fo them (those numbers are taken from my own practice - I did exactly that).

So 50 hats = 50 mil.
100 materia III+15 = 40 mil.

As a result we have 9 double-melded hats+1 for 90 mil. So production cost is 90/9=10 mil per hat. Then we add % for rarety, risk and later investments (+50%) and also add ~50% of base cost to make profit for living. Ta-da: one hat costs 18~20 mil. It's simple.

oO logic oO

achieve the same with normal hats with int15 and int16, costs you like 700k (?) per try - about 17% chance? i can see that sum up to about 4 mil cost.


It's simple.


oh btw my woolen hat with 2 int+2 materia is worth 300 mil: 10k the hat, 5k the materia, i needed 2 hats to succeed = 30k cost. Now i add % for rarety ( I'm sure its the only hat like that!), risk and later investments and Ta-da: This hat costs 300 mil. It's simple.
