Urgent BLM Novus help

[HaroldSaxon]

It isn't stupidly easy to make gil if you aren't a gatherer or a DoH user, which I'm not. They to me are just far to boring to invest any time in it. The only way I can make money is to pray ti RNJesus with Spiritbinding, which itself would cost tons of money.

Ive made the majority of my money from Spiritbinding, and it isn't much RNG if you do crafting/gathering items. Its near effortless.

But if you are complaining about boring time sinks, then why are you doing Novus/Nexus? Its a far larger grind than levelling a crafting class to 50, and far larger than what it takes to do a bit of spiritbinding.

Our opinions of what boring is obviously differ... Crafting is not my idea of fun, at all. I play FF games in general to grow stronger and fight great beasts and likewise enemies. With the Relic quest, I can do that.
As I said, I don't have money to spend, so buying SB gear was already out of the question.

I'd rather spam Gilgamesh 30 times, or PvP (light farm and EXP farm in one) than craft. Crafting, is just ugh

I never said crafting wasn't fun. There is no opinion about it though, getting a crafting class to 50 isn't anywhere near as slow as the Nexus grind. Its not even "30" times.

Its just laughable that at 50 you have 6000 gil. You can make more than that with the challenge log and roulettes. I personally think either you are exaggerating, or you are just lazy. If you are actually good at the game, you can even do carries, but i'm sure you'll have an excuse about why that isn't viable for you.

Let's not become elitist and pseudo-insultive now. I'm not going to sell runs to anybody. Not because I'm "bad", but because it is morally disrupting.

Also, that 30 times thing was a hit at the time it takes to complete each Gilgamesh and the bonus time-frame.

Getting a craft to 50 is easier, but as I said, it is boring and I won't partake in anything like that. I already have the Laev so I didn't feel the need to make my wallet cry any further. BTW, at the moment of this post, I did have 6k. I don't understand why you revert to such a mindset (it's easy to me; it's easy to you), but the sooner you make free of it, the better. If you won't, then don't bother replying because I've not the patience to deal with that.

I've 213k at the moment, so it isn't like I'm static at 6k, so don't treat me as ignorant. (6k at the time because I purchased 2 Materia 4 Spell Speed, which is why I only needed 7 :P)

So in the matter of a few days without trying to make money, you've made over 200k. And you are claiming making money isn't easy.

Nothing about selling runs is elitist. A lot of people can't find decent groups. A lot of people aren't running old content.

But think about all the effort you've put into your relic. All the atma's. All the books. All the fights (500 bonus HM Primals). And yet you are going to cheap out on it when it comes to stats? Sure, fair enough rushing so you can get started on the light. But keeping it cheaped out when you can clearly make enough money and put the effort in (like the other stages) is just a silly decision, but I guess its yours to make. Same with if you want to think that its hard to make money. But if you are going to ask for advice, be receptive of it, seems like you have already made the decision before making this thread.

The ONLY REASON I have 200k (142 now thanks to ridiculous HQ food and Pot prices - raids) is because I used my capped out myth to purchase a bunch of Tawny Latex.

Also, I asked if I should, and people kindly answered and I took their advice. Of course, adding ACC in the first place was to avoid Savage Might 4 (Will NEVER pay 680k for materia), but I WOULD HAVE grinded out the last 7 SS materia would had persons replied such. This discussion swayed into "is it hard to make money", but it should NOT have had grounds with my decision to add the 7 pieces.
I will not lie, I was manipulated into defending my ground; into defending that money has to do anything with my final decision.

I already have the Laev btw. I do NOT have the HA items to make my Novus worth while at all. My original reason to get a Novus was to glamour it when it became Nexus. It wasn't to play a vital role, as I will farm T9 when it is open for my HA staff while I work for the new weapons.

Snip

You don't need HA items for Novus to be worth it. Its already BiS currently when at the Nexus stage.

You weren't manipulated, and given you complained about the cost of materia, its completely on topic to talk about it. Materia prices are so high because of the lack of people spiritbinding and the huge amount of gil in the economy.

If you are just going for Novus just for glamour, I can't help but think what a waste. But even then, if its only for glamour, I don't get why you made this thread as you've clearly made your decision and you don't want to listen to reason.
