    Nope. He said in the interview the recipes will not be expensive -- course not. Within days the market board will be flooded with them and within weeks the price will be down to 1 gil like a hell of a lot of other items are now. Unless they will be releasing 'new' recipes for each of the ten-levels on a REGULAR basis, it will be a minuscule drop of variety and busy-ness for some crafters for a couple weeks.

    I sincerely hope they do plan on REGULARLY adding Glamour Recipes to change it all up but, I am not holding my breath. Plain vanity tabs would have been a non-hassle, could also have involved crafters and would be much less of a time-sink.

    That would honestly depend on NPC sale value. If they NPC for 20 gil or more why would you sell them for less and make less money? I've seen it a few times, some items sell for 10-20 through NPC and the market board has them for 1 gil a piece. I assumed they were from bots because the NPC value is way better than the market board value as a seller and I'd rather NPC the item if that were the case. If they give a preset value for the Vanity Prisms, I sure as hell hope people with common sense would know not to sell it below the NPC value if they are selling to make money. Otherwise they are wasting both their time and their resources.

    Some people don't seem to care about actually making gil. I used to buy dyes from the vendor and then sell them on the MB for crazy amounts. I'd spend 200 on 5 Blood red, and then sell the set for 1-2K. And people bought them constantly. Why they bought them, I haven't a clue, as you can buy them cheap at the vendor, but the fact is, I made a few hundred K gil before people started putting the same 5 set on the MB for 220 gil. That's right, they're making a wopping 20 gil a sale! Honestly, at that point, why even do the work to buy and post the stuff? RMT maybe? I don't know, but it just goes to show that people will still sell stuff on the MB.. even if they're basically making no money by doing it.
