Arrow Prices!

[Gath]

The cost of these arrows is nothing compared to the cost of lvling RNG or COR in FFXI.

Yes, an FFXI reference.

I have gotten quite rich off of making arrows. This is a good sign of a strong economy. People should find a good/service that is in demand, price it competitively and watch the gill come in. Sadly, more and more carpenters are getting smart and selling arrows and the prices have plummeted.

I guess I never paid attention to the hit rate and damage of arrows, I just assumed if it says it does more damage than it does more damage. I will have to get seom Warped or Flint arrows and see what happens.

I'm gonna say crafters in Besaid are either greedy or RMT. I am an r37 Arc from Mysidia, and I generally use Obsidian arrows as my general purpose ammunition, mostly because I can craft them when I have the materials, but also because I can buy them from the Centuar's eye in Gridania when I don't. I have an Armored Calvary bow, so I'm not worried about not doing enough damage. Since I can craft them, I often grind them out in large quantities whenever I have the materials, and of those, I'll keep some for my own use, and sell the rest, usually at around 30 gil per arrow, or whole sets for 30k. I've had people tell me that they aren't worth crafting, and that they would never sell, but I actually made my first million gil this way, and without being a greedy jackhole. People will always flock to a crafter who can sell for less than his/her contemporaries, so it will force other players to compete for customers, often by selling at a reduced price.

I recomend for all archer to lvl up Carpenter. goldsmith and cloth crafts. Buy the glue and make your own arrows. Really the prices are silly since the mats are easy to come by. Ask someone to craft for you, but remmeber to search for the mats.

The LS im in has a couple of really nice carpenters that push out all our arrows very grateful otherwise id be paying 90-100k stack per silver arrows

Crafting arrow is a pain in the butt. To make Red Coral Arrow by self require at minimum 40 GS 40 Weaver 36 Alc and 45 Carp. Each stack of arrow takes 3 syn and 20k in mats. In addition, Red Coral and Eagle Feather is not exactly flooding the market. So on a good day a carp can find enough mats in market to make 8-12 stack arrow, and pretty much all of them goes to LS for NM use anyway (I make arrow for 6 archer in LS, 2 stack each for NM run cleans me out right away), it just doesn't make sense selling one stack of red coral arrow for less than 100k. I personally had never sold any arrow because I can make more gil with way less effort with other stuff, and I could barely (or rarely) keep LS stocked as is.

Silver arrow has it's own problem: horn glue is rarely available, and way over priced (10k a pop!) unless you farm your own. Also the profit is just not there, why would anyone stock up a maid with 10 stack silver arrow while praying to get total of maybe 200k (assuming 50k per stack) profit in a week's time?

So as long as equipment are still profitable I don't see arrow price coming down (it will be different when nothing else is profitable like in FFXI). It is much easier to have carp buddy who can hook you up, since people are much more willing to make stuff if they know there is demand beforehand.

people on rabanastre price red coral stack at 100K. don't know if they even sell at all... but that is what the search thing lists them as

i certainly do not buy them

[Ziren]

i think they should do away with arrows all together make it more like a magic arrow not a real arrow nothing worse than in a fight and run out or have two buy them or make all the time lugging around a back pack full of arrows this is what makes me not want two play a archer Evin though it can be fun expensive class no i personally think its stupid to have two buy stuff so you can fight all the time or do what lineage 2 did at higher levels about 50 you have a spell that summons arrows never need to buy again

[PeppinoTuna]

lol ya man, I just use those rank 1 arrows to level up. Expensive arrows, I'll be saving for NMs...
