    I urge everyone, stop the undercutting, match peoples prices! If you cant sell yours first like this you will live, but itl mean that youll actualy make more money in doing so!

    So people realize, materials made by crafters are now running at a minimum 20-30% loss on everything you can make......basicaly, why sell it at all.
    Gatherers and farmers make the money, crafters who dont farm their own mats buy them, they attempt to sell them only to have others undercut them below the value of the items cost. You undercut them back, and back and forth it goes til the price is 500gil on something that cost 4k to make....
    This is very server specific but thats WHY you farm your own mats, if you wanna make some money you need to work for it. If you just wanna buy a few mats and expect to make a huge profit its not going to work for you in this game right now. You may have to buy 1 or 2 (like ingots if your a leatherworker and not an armorer) but you can still make a profit. Even synthing for exp you can make a profit if your savvy enough, I do. Which allows me to buy more random mats, increasing profits of others as well as mine (which also allows others more gil to buy what im making) and earning me exp at the same time. Its a nice circle.

    And no one is going to stop undercutting cause everyone wants to sell theirs first

    Items are way too common to even be worth about 10k gil.
    not really, alot of crafters arent crafting as much, esp lower lvl gear, so stock isnt always that great.
