Sell shards from vendors

[Obreck]

The only thing I think needs to be changed is some sort of cap on how many shards can be put on the market boards by one player at a time. Unlike any other farmable material, which are limited to 99 stacks, you can basically place as many shards up as you want (I saw someone with a 9000 stack of wind shards up for sale last Sunday )

I don't think shards should have strict cap, but some sort of throttle needs to be placed. I watched one player market off somewhere between 100,000 to 200,000 shards over the course of last week. They'd have 15 3k stacks of one shard time up one day, 15 3k stacks of another element the next day, and so on. That is just insane and cannot even be remotely reproduced by any other material or combination of materials due to retainer limits.

Maybe a limit of 10k shards on the market board per week as that shouldn't harm legitimate shard farmers.

SE could just simply cap the quantity field to 99 for everything stackable.

could ya maybe go back and read my post before going all flametastic
THIS IS ABOUT CRAFTING shards are a waste they are not needed, no other game has anything like this to craft you just need the mats for the item. you are on a legacy server maybe things are diff on those but on mine the ONLY people selling shards are rmt. they have the market so flooded only other rmts drive the price down. why do I need to have a host of diff shards to make a gear it is a bad system overall. selling the shards from the crafter vendors would make crafting better. I do not care what rmts move to THIS IS ABOUT CRAFTING.

I readed your post before reply. Can't say you did the same.
The more you post, it's more clear you don't care about rmt or the wellfare of the game, it's just a crusade against shards. Well, this have nothing to do with legacy servers: shards are part of the mats for crafting so i don't really understand your point

I love shards and crafting. It reminds me of the XI days but with a twist. Crystals have become a critical part of the lore around Final Fantasy and I think the idea of shard affinity for recipes is a great idea. Rather than start a fire my CUL can use a fire shard... and so on. Now the hot topic of RMT and shards is one that gets me worked up as I have a list of 15 new bots I have found mining / gathering notes around my server. The idea of shard sale limits is a great idea because it would slow the pace of gil accusation for RMT and choke them out. Even remove shard storage from retainers for that matter. Get rid of RMT. If your low on shards go get some pick up that hatchet or pickaxe.

Ok- Add shard to NPC.. u think this will solve? not really they will just find something else to farm to sell. The next thing u add to NPC, they find next stuff to bot, rinse and repeat. Not gonna solve at all.

Good suggestion but Apkallu, Diremites, Karakul are what's feeding them.

I make at least 20 reports a day. Yes 20 at the bare minimum. Why? Because I'd like to get my 2 stars food done, gear some of my friends/fc members up, and perhaps even profit but at 300 a pop (tonberry) I refuse to buy, and am refused the chance to farm.

Result? ............... when?

Meant to say this before, but this signature is simply amazing. Naturally that was my first thought too when I saw the companion.

Suggestion Add a skill where you can get +10shards every 2 mnts
+50 shards every 10 mnts
+ 100 shard every 1 hour
