Gil is so inflated.

I'm on Jenova myself. I think he means more that things are costing a damned fortune. Which is true.. 650k for 1 IV craft materia? no thanks. i definitely understand OP's concern here. When you go to buy some shards.. 250 for 3000... yeah, okay bots at large.

This isn't the case have seen the marketboards everything is dirt cheap except certain materia and high end crafted gear and vanity materials and gear.

That differs from server to server. Come to Jenova and see how cheap those items are.

If you want to complain about economy at least pick a topic SE can do something about.

Recipes from 1 to 49 are pretty much only for the sake of grinding XP and nothing else. There is no demand for anything crafted below 49 because that gear comes from dungeons automatically.

lvl50 crafted gear is a joke in two seconds so what are these classes really good for.
I LOVE crafting system itself but SE really needs to take a look at the core items and find a way to make them actually needed.

Also why WHY would you ever buy gil? What could you possibly do with it if you are in a FC that already has a house? When you reach endgame you'll see that gil is almost completely useless. It's the tomes that matter here, not gil.

So, no demand for level 45 + accessories to spiritbond for materia due to massive costs, no demand for the items that can be crafted HQ, which can further be used in final product crafting?

Ur analogy is wrong. If something was selling for 100k and novus comes out and prices per materia change to 500k. You then see new players that u know damn well dnt have this gil buying out the market, the legit players get shafted.

How you know they dont have the gil, talking about jumping to conclusions. I can make 200k a day just selling junk.

So the keyword "new" players that just hit 50 that are buying 3 star items and materia have gil from farming? Doubt it. No1 cares how much gil u make a day. Im 1 of 3 master crafters on jenova server with over 100mil gil and the server has only been up for 2-3 months. Im glad i masterd all my crafts b4 command 4s went from 100k to 500-600k per materia. People are buying so much gil that when i try to sell something at "market price" (rmt inflated price) to an average player they are far from an agreement. Yes i benefit on my end from this but its sad when i have fc mates who cant afford prereq relics.

The problem with the price of materia is not inflation or deflation. Its Supply and Demand.

There is a huge demand for materia, more so now with 3star crafting and novus melding and not enough people actively making materia.

This means the few people that are selling can determine the price they want to sell it at it, rather than the market determining how much they want to pay.

People want Want WANT that materia to progress their novus and a few rich or hardworking players that have been saving their gil can afford to pay the new higher prices, so the people spiritbonding this materia will keep charging the higher prices!


If everyone and their uncle was spirit bonding the market would be flooded at the price would come down!

:EDIT: Players that dont have the gil to keep up with the existing wealthy population may well be turning to buying gil, but if the demand for buying gil was high the prices would be much higher. The more likely cause is endgame hardcore FC's that made lots of money mercing are the people at the fore front of this content spending their millions on materia.

TL;DR - Not a problem with gil sellers / inflation / deflation. Problem is supply and demand, not enough people spiritbonding cause it takes to long.

You always do what my FC does make or buy it for them. That's what FCs are for to help each other. If yoi on a new server and have over 100mil should I think you brought that gil? No I shouldn't I don't know how you acquired that gil. Same can be said about that fresh 50. Stop being a hypocrite. Also I doubt a fresh 50 would even have a zenith weapon.

As i said im 1 of 3 3star crafter on the server s selling each 3star piece for 1.5-2.5mil each piece. It adds up quick
