Fieldcraft Demimateria III

[Harmonea]

No one here watched the live letter, I guess? He said bots are taking advantage of the vendor price of FC materia, so if you plan to vendor any, do so before the patch changes their prices.

He never said vendoring was a great idea (it's a terrible idea as stated here), he just wanted to ensure those who DO have terrible plans aren't inconvenienced by an anti-bot measure.

If I had to guess, the bots using this method to make gil are running trial accounts and/or are aware of the consequences of a flooded market.

I watched it, but I don't recall the bots part in what got translated and I don't really understand Japanese myself.

None of the live letter translations I saw mentioned bots as an explanation. All that got mentioned was a warning that prices were going to be getting adjusted.

I can see bots getting demimateria through desynthesis as a problem, though. I know I've gotten quite a bit casually leveling up desynthesis on my alts.

As for why Fieldcraft and not Battlecraft, Battlecraft sell to vendor prices are already 60/300/500. This brings Fieldcraft in line with them.
