Has the market on your server saturated yet?

Coke dropped to 13k on AH at some point last night.
I just bought 99 mahi-mahi for 950 each.

Same on our server, peacock ore 13k yesterday.
Didn't see it coming, at least not so soon.

Yeah, tome mats seemed to hit a sudden free fall over the past week or two on Exodus as well. Not quite down to 13k, but went from people selling for 30k (and a few crafters shouting they're buying for 25k ea for over a month) to shouting they're selling for 20k with people trying to buy for even less as usual.

I wonder how the Myth cap compared to Philosophy earned while capping each week works out in relation to the cost of full darklight. Has to be a reason for the sudden change.

PvP gear might be solid for awhile, assuming much of it is crafted and convertible into some PvP specific materia (or we'll just get the WoW version with terrible starting gear from crafting, with PVP equivalents of Philo and Myth gear). I honestly don't have high hopes for furniture. Wouldn't mind being pleasantly surprised, but I expect the market to be flooded within a week or two of the patch. Particularly the CRP housing items, since among semi-serious crafters everyone and their brother is a 50 CRP because of Byregot's.

It will be great if philo mats or other tome mats are required for best PvP gears. Then people will have no choice but to farm them or buy them. And crafters can make a good income for a while. Otherwise PvP gears will get flooded pretty fast like the pre-relic market now.
And I agree your point on furniture, hard to see a HQ version of them, hard to see it will be hard to HQ even they exist. And as it's just FC house, which FC does not have a lv50 crafter in each class but has the gil to buy a house nowaday? Absolute no money there.

Philo mats: 12k @tonberry.. And diving

[YanDere]

Lol now that I check again HQ Vanya Robe of Healing is 280k XD
Until two weeks ago it was 800k, only one robe in one month.

[ImDingDing]

HQ vanya drop to 230k and there are 9 on AH....

[SchalaZeal]

On Odin HQ is under 300k lol.

On Leviathan, this is under 200k.

Liadanswhisper is right..they are LISTED for that price, the rings and the like. Selling not so much. The market on the things the crowds were hitting have crashed pretty hard, though there are some gems left that folks don't seem to be taking advantage of. So there is profit yet to be had.

However yes, markets are getting worse by the day. I hope pvp gear and housing stuff breathes some life into crafting.

It won't. Unless crafters cazn get a slice of the end game pie, things will still become cheap very fast and be fairly niche in terms of who buys them. Crafting needs to have a place in the end game in order for it to make money again. A few months ago, people wanmted unique looks/weren't doing coil, so things were different. But now, not many people go ilvl70 aside from accessories, or if they just want to look different (dyeing). On my legacy server, tome mats are down to 22-24k each, give or take, down from 100k a month or so ago.

I can see the option to require HQ to make and make the recipe system green, no con. Especially if there are crafting stations in the houses. All HQ parts and material would be sensible but those will still need a material maintenance or it's all one off.
