You might not think it will, but I think it could.

As I said earlier, it could very well be that prices go to 1/20th of their value and you become richer in that area because you can buy twice as many now. Relics could become 1m each and u could buy 3 of them. Its a possibility that could very well happen, but I do not believe it will, thats my opinion.
Oh don't get me wrong I definitely assume that there will be specific items that gain value, probably significant value. But these gains in value are going to almost entirely come from gameplay mechanics changes, instead of the redenomination of gil. I just don't want people to come in and read your post and liquidate their gil thinking that it's better to have a stockpile of items going into ARR then gil. Because it's not true, and take an extreme risk in doing so, as nobody knows exactly which items are going to be valuable (and this is why SE cautions players as such).

Gil will be the one constant that will carry over into the new economy and will retain its value 100%. In terms of the market, this game is all about relative wealth of players, and that will not change with the redenomination of gil. Anyone that benefits monetarily from stockpiling items will be the lucky ones that happened to pick the items/materials that are needed in increased demand in ARR, nothing more, nothing less. And since neither you, nor anyone else knows which items those will be, I just want to caution readers to not follow in your path, unless they are potentailly willing to risk losing vast amounts of wealth.

This is very much like playing the stock market, except we have no real way to predict future values. As the one poster noted Electrum Ingots, who knows, Electrum ore could be dropping off every high level mob for all we know (or crafting recipes changed that drastically reduce the amount of ingots necessary). You are extremely confident in your view, which is fine, but there are a number of posters that clearly don't understand the effect of this gil redenomination and my fear is they do something they are going to regret later, because they panic'ed when they saw they're losing 9/10ths of their gil.
