Possible Economy Fix Reduce Drop Rate.

[Rhindas]

The drop rates did need an increase on Diremite Webs and Fleece, but I think perhaps they overdid it. I think I got 9 webs once. As a Weaver? Yay! As a farmer? Well, crap! Tam-tara and Aurum Vale drops webs like candy too.

LOL, Se's answer is to put more useless stuff into the economy and expect things to get better... Cause people that buy housing are going to go to the market board to get stuff... They have their whole fc to make stuff, not to mention they will probably have an npc selling stuff soon anyways...

I think that's what they expected to happen. They did add a lot of new recipes, mostly furniture, to use some more of the mats that were flooding the market. But then they shot themselves in the foot and made the houses so expensive that smart FCs are also leveling crafting classes on the side (whose XP was also boosted) so that they can mitigate the costs. It was one of those "made sense on paper" kinda things.

The drop rate is fine as, plus there's other things to farm like night milk, apkallu eggs, snurble tufts, etc.

The most important thing I think is to have some sort of relisting fee. That way undercutting by 1 gil until the price drops to trash level will be reduced. Imagine having to pay a 100g fee just to change the price of your item.

The only reason anyone would say the drop rate is fine, Is because they can kill anything and get any drop. Cause everything is damn near 100% drop rate ( except for HQ). So it really isn't fine, I think there are mobs that drop up to 6 or 8 items with one kill.

As for the listing fee I agree with that 100%. Someone made a thread about it months ago.... But it didn't get very far. Same as if we had a FFXI AH system where we couldn't see what people list items for, Just the purchase history.
