Thavnairian Bustier - evidence that SE adores Gil sellers.

[Shori]

This high-level high-expense stuff was true of the beach items once upon a time. Give people a chance to level their craft or gather the items and then you'll see it becomes achievable.

or in other words... everything the posts above me says

People complain about gil sellers on one hand, but then those same people list things at absurdly high prices on the marketboard because they want their share of the pie that can only be supplied from a gil buyer somewhere down the line.

Not much of SE loves gill seller issue. The real piss off is this was totally hinted to be a summer event item looking into the work it isn't to hard blow 30 leves on miner to get it to 56 get a few dragonskin maps suffer for the desynth item find a supercrafter in partyfinder tip him or her to make it

my only problem is the silk, you are forced to go with a group for the maps and if someone steals the silk from you well geuss you are SoL until the next time it drops

Not sure how you guys run maps but in pretty much all groups I've been in the person who bought the map gets whatever drops they want. The helpers do so because they either just want to help a friend or because the generally get some gil out of it. You buy the map, you get the drops.

I agree with this. It really bothers me that I will probably never own those 2 new outfits. They are selling for 25m on my server per piece atm. Even if they do drop in price I feel like it won't be enough for me to purchase it. What makes it worse is people on my server are actually buying it at that price.

25m? one sold for 70m here

Thing is, if people stopped buying the insane priced items, people would stop listing it for such an insane price. If I go to the market and see X item sold for 10mil, of course I am going to throw it up for 10mil. If it doesn't sell I am inclined to drop the price a little at a time till I am either undercut or it sells. The main hurdle we have as crafters is we need a lot of materials from other people to supply the items they want to give us scrips to allow us to even attempt making these pieces. Trust me, I want it bad too. I am half thinking of just working weaver and when/if I do make it, toss an offer and see if a leatherworker would like to trade the pants/shoes for the body/arm/head.

Edit: However another thing to note is the items are also rare to collect as I believe they only come from the Dragonskin map.

Makes no difference to me... I'll never buy anything at those prices.

If people are desperate enough to drop 70 mil for a glamor peice, you really do have to question where they get the gill from other then buying it, even if i was a rich crafter walking around with 500 mil, 70 mil is hardly much, and i still would not drop that much on a vanity item. (but a crafter woud likely make their own anyway) it's like buying a shirt irl that cost 10 grand, and it does the exact same thing as the one you currently had on to go buy it.

I guess people will pay big money just to be that unique snowflake.

While I admit 70mil is insane, what exactly are you going to do with all that extra gil anyway assuming you did work for it? The biggest house is only 60mil fresh on the market. Travel is like 600 gil at max to transport (least I don't recall seeing past it). Throwing 250mil away on a 5 piece suit doesn't seem out of the question. Tho about the real shirt deal, people do that. My mom worked at a factory that made shirts and the only difference in them was the logo that was put on them. The difference between $5 and $50
