Are you really gonna ruin crafting and then release nothing for months SE?

Currently they are offering 300K per red script, or 1 mil for 3x and usually when they advertise in the PF it's 80K per mat. There are ~ 20 listings for Yellow Ooids and 0 for Black Swan Feathers, I actually need 4x Black Swan Feathers because of RNG

This is true. Etoinelle Dolet sold Red Scrips to Kaori Kanade for that price. She finds them quite easy to cap but no interest in crafting 2* gears.

Yet to see any of my competition stop playing or crafting.They are buying ooids pretty steadily this week.

Ooids are being bought at slow pace at 100k. We are missing a handful of the other top crafters on the server though. On one hand it is less future competition. On the other there are only a handful of interesting top crafter items (given the inability to sell Red scrip BIS endgoods at reasonable prices). There are literally only two of us left selling all the Thav set parts being myself and Pork Ribs.

I think only one red scrip endgood has sold in the last two weeks. Being a pair of boots for 12mil... which probably cost around 9 million in materials. One can't argue with 3 million profit, but the risk of getting the sale is still too high. For the one sale, the other 20 red scrip items listed are either rotting (and dropping in price) or were taken off the listing for personal/FC usage.

Yeah mining is popular on our server in contrast to botany. There just aren't as many serious botanists from what I've seen.

TWO YEARS for 8 sets of armor

You mean the weekly currency that is designed to mimic the pve weekly currency works like the pve weekly currency? YOU DON'T SAY!?

Seriously stop bitching you can't have full BIS on every crafter already just because in the past you could drop a small kingdom's worth of gil into MB and have it.

[Ranzan]

I was going ask about that too cause the prices on my server are going up but not alot has sold. I would thought slow sells would mean lower prices...

[LongsunZhao]

Nevermind. I get the game works for everyone else. But the point is. I get no endgame crafting armor from my Cul. Yet it is lacklustre compared to the rest of them. But the game works for everyone else and I get it. I'll be deleting before MGS comes out.

Atm favors are like
3:1 or so lol. Sometimes 5:1 if ur rng is bad.

Yeah my numbers don't look like that at all lol.

I've gotten 679 NQ mats through 4 weeks using the full 180 favors. That puts me at 3.77 NQ mats per favor. Or 18.86 per red gathering token. You need 20 per gathering token to make the ratio even with the crafting tokens so I'm not far off that although obviously I get spares on some that I don't need right away and I'm short on ones I do need some weeks. That said, I got 62 HQ mats during that time. I only used 6 of them to make one crafting mat but I could easily use all my red crafting tokens every week if I chose to. I don't really have an issue with the ratio or the RNG, for the most part. I just have an issue with the time required to do favors and, to a lesser extent, the lack of useful recipes at this point.

How much are they buying them for? I have been seeing them sell for 100-250k each lately on a couple diff servers.

If my server was selling those mats at those prices most people would buy them instantly. Problem is that not enough gatherers are doing favors for the purpose of selling the favor materials.

Two, and the first one was at a loss because I bought them when prices were at 150k/500k each.

So basically the price the materials are sold at and the price that the end products sell at don't match up? I've yet to see a 2* item sell on my server. There was an hq astral ring up on the board for 6 mil for weeks that never sold. I'm not really sure what people are expecting to buy these items for when the favor mats are being priced at what they are.
