First gen DOM/DOW didn't have time to craft because they decided not to have time to craft. If you aren't willing to put in the time to get to a point where you can create an item you want then you have only yourself to blame when the limited number of people that can make it set an aggressive price.
Why would someone sell something for less than they know it will sell for?[/I]
By your own admission ~300k gil. When people claim they made sales of 1mil gil IN THE BEGINNING, where did the extra come from? I wasn't referring to 30k sales, etc. Unlike the real world, people who can't afford things they want pay real money for gil because they're too lazy to get it honest. Being 1st is important enough to cheat. So they would pay any price for the armor.
