The new ore does NOT sell well. It's been selling for around ~50 gil on my server. Most for any type is ~100 gil a piece. The OLD ore does sell decently (maybe 200-250). But relative to the 1-2 mil crafters can make for the finished product getting 50 gil an ore isn't that appealing.

Considering the time it takes to get to the 2 star mining nodes, it was not balanced at all.
