Amount of HQ items RIDONCULOUS!

[Nenin]

Not on Odin server at least.

Can you list exactly what materia you are using per item/slot to do this please?

You're right, I forgot about all the accessories lol.

When I got my first craft to 50 I spent a ton to cap all the offset pieces because I knew they would be used with all subsequent classes. I was only thinking about the cost to hit those stats when I hit 50 with a class now.


Sargatanas might have unusually low prices as well but I have nothing to compare them with. We have a couple obvious RMT retainers selling 50+ grade III crafting materia of each kind at all times (the same retainer also tries to sell massive stacks like 80 Savage Aim III for next to nothing every day...). Their presence and the supply surge over the weekend drives Command III down to 15-17k and Cunning/Competence III below 8k routinely. Cunning III was actually under 6k a few days ago.

Your prices are lower than Odin, but yeah capping accessories/belt... ^^

Costs a ton even at those prices.

Nenin This is Alphi! I need to get a hold of you ASAP. Can you log into the game soon? You'll understand the problem when you check the FC Menu!

Looks like a job for weekly caps to crafting. Then people will choose what to craft on based on demand and supply.

[Millimidget]

Yeah, only have to spend over 500k. Everyone has that, right. Pocket change right? And this is the cost when you're already 50. PER CRAFT. How long you think to pay off the craft gear with a RNG? Forever? 2 Forevers?

That's not so much. I could make that...from crafting.

Whats funny is the OP; qqing that he can't make money off the market, or something.

Also, why craft if most of the stuff you can get through quest and dungeon runs?

For one class/job, questing (including dungeons via main quest chain) is easier. For all the classes, crafting is easier.

I've made characters on other servers, more just to see the markets than play the server. Sargatanas Markets are very well stocked markets. It's a buyers market for sure. Anyone who wants to be a market mogul would be smart to avoid Sarg. Right now the only things that can make you solid Gil are Philo, shark Oil and a few other items with a high grind factor. I prefer it this way. I can get deals on Sarg I just don't see on other server.

as someone who crafts a lot, it takes maybe 5-10 mins to go through the process of hqing an item. those who are able to hq have a lot of patience, since most of the time the mats have to be hq or you have to have almost all your crafts at 50.

lol hq'ing lvl 30 items is one thing, hq'ing a vanya robe or gryphonskin is a whole nother monster and there is nothing really easy about it. its time consuming, expensive, and quite a risk lvling up a crafting class that can guarantee a hq on items that are actually worth more than pocket change

Even NQ to HQ is a process.
Basilisk Egg to Basilisk Whetstone:

Comfort Zone, Inner Quiet, Steady Hand II, Great Strides, Innovation, Adv Touch, Great Strides, Adv Touch, Steady Hand II, Great Strides, Innovation, Byregot's Blessing, Careful Synthesis II. It has base 88% with no condition influence. Throw in a good and it's 100%.

Pretty "easy" but do it 30 or 40 times. It eats a lot of time up. There is a reason people are at the MB looking for them. They don't want to do it.
