Low level market seems to be dead

Well now that crafting armor has absolutely no future, the pricing will likely go down to no longer be worth making. Enjoy those WP runs!

I'm not sure where WP entered the conversation, that's personally my least favorite dungeon lol

I had never sold mats prior to the other day, I was just maxed on philo with nothing to buy. Someone was shouting for mats so I supplied

I just recently got back into crafting, and I do enjoy it but fully realize the limitations. It honestly perplexes me why people would spend so much gil on crafted stuff. I mean if I could make my own Vanya robes or Darksteel armor I would, but why on Eorzea would you spend 500,000 gil on one piece of equipment, and drop another 500,000 gil on materia? It just seems like a losing proposition from the get go. I wonder how many people regret those purchases after seeing the housing prices lol

The only people who spend on crafted i70 gear are people who expect that said classes they are gearing will not be expecting to get many Coil/Mytho drops soon. They are definitely better than Darklight - the question is whether it is worth dropping the gil on that increase. In some cases, mages prefer Vanya/Astral as it increases their rather low max HP, to be able to survive Twintania fireballs. The only other thing I can see is Warriors spending on Darksteel Chest, to meld Accuracy in, to make up for the lack of Accuracy on Bravura +1. Although you can now get Dual Haken...

Oh and don't underestimate vanity...some people like to dye their gear in different colours every week.
