Trying to understand player behavour with MB & MSQ dungeons

When you first post an item and you see the default vendor price the listings are probably higher. When you see the price has dropped and you pick a new price you might not reconfirm the vendor price and just drop it. It takes about 30 to 45 mins to go through all MB listings check current prices and check vendor price. The system is not very user friendly. Anyone who says it shouldn't take that long one only has a few listings or two isn't checking prices very well IE selling for below vendor price.



I also highly doubt you are seeing stacks of 99 below vendor price.They had to farm 99 of those that took a little effort. But venture items that also seem quite common took almost minimal effort and less concern over the actual profit ratio. The sky gear that vendors for 1k can go below 500 gil. It is worthless to desynth it is worthless to wear and retainers bring a lot of it back.


What I would like to see is the below vendor stuff all bought up and cleared off the board. The board has enough listings as it is. And no I don't mean the cheaters that use third party tools that scan MBs and buy up everything to vendor it. That is the only type of cheating I haven't seen in this game. Maybe because the system is so slow to interface with.

The vendor price is listed directly on the item information though. You don't need to go back to check.

I think a large portion of badly-priced marketboard items are because people don't understand that the initial price is the sell-to-NPC price and not a recommended starting price. And then people try to undercut all the other people that put their items up at that not-actually-recommended price...

The Sky Rat gear is actually pretty good to pick up if you've just hit Lv60, especially if you don't have enough tomes or access to Idyllshire yet. It's cheap and it has the same stats as early Stormblood gear.

I've made a few glamours with it too. Mostly the gloves and boots.

Sky Pirate gear is even better for glamour, and far cheaper than the replica items if you want to use it for its designated class.
