Selling HM Titan runs

The Empire is selling hard mode Titan runs, every Thursday night between 7:00 and 8:00 PM PST. Knowing the encounter is not necessary.

We're currently selling each spot in the group for 350k gil, or 1125 Philosopher's Tomestones.

If you're interested, send a tell to Yenn Sylph between 6:00 and 7:00 PM PST to schedule.

Trying to save up for that mansion eh?

250k? holy jeebus.

Or I could just do it with my mates for free...250k is quite high honestly.

People used to charge for stuff in Final Fantasy 11 as well. While I am not competely against the idea, I seem to notice it more in Final Fantasy games than other games ive played. It is unfortunate because a) you don't accomplish something if you have people "run you through it", b) the same people that would pay to have it done, are the often the same that buy gil - thus keeping the gil trade going, c) they tend not to be the better players as well. None of those things are always true, but often they are.

We're selling for the majority of people who can't find seven mates who aren't undergeared and/or shit at the game.

Rip off! Don't buy into this nonsense.

I can understand the OP'S though basically renting his fc to help but that's way overpriced for titan

*shrugs*. It's first-month economy stuff. The game will settle, people will gear, prices will drop, Titan HM will go on farm. It's the same as every other dungeon in every other game since forever. First ones in make bank.

Get it while it's good, boys. The rest of the players can level somethin' else while their FCs grow up. :)

Uhhhhhhh.. no.

Or save your money if you're DRG/WAR/PLD, I can gear you up enough for this encounter, for like a 3rd of this!!

"250k per run", so if you took two people it's 125k each? Is there a discount if the players aren't complete derp?

No, that's bad wording on my part. It's 250k per person.

Seriously, don't buy into this. I hope you aren't considering their offer Kismet? Titan is a chance at 1 weapon, and it may not drop for a good long while. You're being asked to pay an over priced lottery free. It's an absurdity at best, and a scam at worse.

Battle leves don't even generate this amount of gil, and unless your keen on crafting you'll never generate enough money to replace the loss because I can guarantee you'll be operating at a loss if you buy into their "get rich quick" scheme.

Titan is the last step of the relic weapon quest.

And this some how justifies your over pricing of the run? Please spare me your idiosyncrasy!

Knowing the encounter is not necessary, as we can 6 man it, though it does speed it up.

If you're interested, send a tell to Yenn Sylph in-game to schedule a time.

Not to be mean but.... are you insane? What could possibly be worth shelling out 250k for -one- run? Sure, there's the relic quest, titan weapons, etc. But it can be beaten through trial and error. Even then, this is a pretty shoddy price. If you're hoping to make more in a long run of Mercenary like runs for a guild, it'd be smarter to go with a lower price that many could find affordable and make up a large sum of money through the masses rather than one or two people who -may- want to shell out that much.

20,000 per person is far more reasonable than 250k. It's not too difficult to save up/obtain 20k for the individual and you can secure multiple clients this way. Lets say that you do runs between 7 to 8 pm. That's one hour to conduct your operation. Lets say it takes 12-15 minutes to beat Titan (roughly). You can get in 4-5 runs against him in that time. And again--lets say that you take on three clients a run. 60k in your pockets right there per run. Within that hour you've gained 180k. Within a week that would be a profit of 1.26x10^6.

Be smarter about your operation and you can make a larger cashflow. Otherwise, you're just overshooting/looking greedy.

We've been selling to 3-4 people each night for the past week. We'll lower it as demand goes down, but right now, we're okay with 250k.

Anyone who doesn't want to pay and doesn't have a competent group is free to go wipe at it for a couple dozen hours.
Currently, most groups can't even get past the beginning of phase 3, if they can even reach it.

This kind of prices is the reason some people buy gil from gil sellers, who is insane enough to spend 250k for a single run?...gil buyers.

250k for the second or third best weapon in the game is a pretty good deal, especially considering it upgrades to the best or second best with 900 Mythos.

It's not as unrealistic an amount as people seem to think. Before we started selling runs, I was sitting at about 1.7 million gil.
Most people who got in on the market early have plenty of gil floating around, and likewise for people who got good converts and sold materia high during the first weeks.

report advertising, its right there plain and simple.

bye.

I once spent 250k Gil; and made it back within 1 day.

Somehow, that seems pretty unlikely to reach those many people per night for the costs you are driving. They must be pretty...well...dim. I hope they don't have real bank accounts. Oh well, good luck on your shakedown and unsustainable business model.

3 hours of farming Snurble Tufts will make you enough gil to buy a HM Titan.

With that said, the richest members of EMP, none of whom profit from selling runs, excluding myself, have somewhere between a combined 40 and 50 million gil.
None of us have bought gil; it's not hard to make gil if you know what you're doing. It's harder than it was weeks ago, but it's still possible with a few hours of work.

Bump. We're now also accepting 1125 Philosopher's Tomestones in lieu of gil.

1125 Tomes. Thats 9 coke worth, which is enough for someone to get a peice of HQ Darksteel (Better then Darklight). DRG, WAR, PAL- Armor and weapon. MNK weapon. PLD shield, caster shield. Message me ingame if you want to use those Philospher's tomestones to GUARENTEE youll get end game gear! Then once youre suited, you can probably start selling your own runs! Youll even get all your tomes back doing it, so its basically like FREE END GAME ARMOR BETTER THEN DARKLIGHT. If I wasnt me, I would be messaging me right now to get my free end game gear!!!

I hope people charging these prices are enjoying being in a city right now with all the shouts from gil sellers. Currently YOU are the cause for people buying gil.

Comeon guys, its not hard to make 250k.

This is about the same price ppl are selling runs for on my server. I see nothing wrong with it...They're are helping random ppl out, for a price....Just like people hire maids to clean their house, your basically hiring this FC to do HM Titan for you

I'll still never understand it. What exactly have you accomplished again? Why bother playing. It's like a minor version of paying $200.00 to have some chinese person power level a toon for you from lvl 1 to 50. YOU didn't accomplish anything, others did it for you.

Other than the encouraging people to buy gil so they can pay for this stuff, I don't care. I just don't understand why people would do it...

Snurble tufts go 300 each on my server. I spent about 1 hour before becoming bored out of my mind, used to farm them before I higher level DoL jobs. Generally got about 40 tufts, for some reason they weren't dropped too commonly. Also others are killing them as well.

Made about 11000 gil. I make three times that mining wind crystals, but that only amounts to 30k . . .

It sounds like your server has other market needs that someone can see to through clever farming. The trick is to find the appropriate arbitrage points. Where are people paying enough for items to make it worth your while to farm?

Finding your money makers can be irritating due to the lack of built-in market analytic tools, but it's not impossible.

lol this is the problem with the 1st world today, no one takes responsibility for their own actions. They're not forcing anyone to buy gil. This comment is retarded.

No of course they are not forcing anyone to buy gil, however, and this is only my guess and opinion, there are a lot of people that would buy gil just to do this. I think that because if you are willing to let someone else run you through something, rather than accomplishing something yourself, then you are probably also the type of person willing to pay for gil (rather than accomplishing making gil yourself).

That still, you are right, does put the burden on the people buying the gil, but the people charging those prices should at least know they are causing some of the problem. Once the economy settles down and people realize they don't have to be the first to do something and that working on it yourself, even if it takes time, is more of an accomplishment, I doubt this will be an issue.

However, just because you disagree with me doesn't mean you should call what I said "retarded" as that implies that you are calling me that name. I disagree with what you said but did not call you any names in this post.

We're upping the price to 350k, and after tomorrow, are only selling Titan on Thursdays at 7:00 PM PST.

We will be selling him tomorrow at 3:00 PM PST. Anyone interested should send me a tell an hour in advance.
