DevTalk: GIL SINKS! Ideas to Stabilize the Economy and Curb Inflation

[Oscillate_Wildly]

I'd hope, in time, they'd be able to balance the prices of Chocobos like in XI. It was never a flat rate and went up with inflation, didn't it?

[Rentahamster]

Oh another one: you RENT Chocobos as mounts instead of owning them. You rent them for something like 5000 gil per hour and then they disappear after that amount of time (of course it warns you before it just up and disappears >.> something like 30/15/10/5 minutes before it's going to disappear).

But, if we can't own our own chocobos, then we can't breed them ourselves. That's why I made the prices for breeding chocobos so high (stable rentals and stuff).

Well hmm...

Then you'd have to pay a cost for keeping your Chocobo in a stable~.

[Oscillate_Wildly]

You could essentially have both and it wouldn't hurt the economy either way. Rent and own, that is.
People would purchase eggs bred by those aiming for a certain colour or stats.

In any case, rentals would likely show up before a whole system organized around breeding.

Yeah, in my OP I listed the prices for renting chocobo stables, which are required to have in order to own your own Chocobo.

As soon as I saw the title I thought about the Golden Saucer thread and I come in and you already had it, good work Rentahamster.

Your link at the bottom doesn't work just takes me to a no search results screen ; ;

Fixed it.

Alternatively you could add teleport NPC's similar to how FF11 did outpost warping.

This, I would prefer if they removed Anima completely and used the Aetheryte Camps as Outpost Warps which you pay for with Gill.

[Leeloo]

Similar to the anima thing, a way to restore some Guardian's Favor. Donations to the deity? = D Potions from ALC or straight from NPC.

I think I'd like to see that more as a unique quest reward type thing rather than a gil-sink, but it's another possibility to consider.

[zaviermhigo]

I hoping "quest hubs" will be like "out post warps" and we pay gil to warp to them, since they said they would be in "remote locations"

[AlexiaKidd]

Oh and for NPC Vedors, yes I want to see more of them but I also want to see travelling vendors walking along the roads out in the field to help give a bit more life to the game.

They could maybe make them so they got attacked by bandits or beastmen sometimes and you could go and help them out, maybe if you got there after the attack you could go and retrieve their stolen merchandise from the bandit/beastmen camp as a little quest too.
