Tafetta cloth?

[Penguinmayhem]

but...but...we have to complain about everything and anything for reasons.

Crafters make things. Crafters cannot make a profit making things to sell to players who aren't crafters because other players don't really want anything crafters can craft. So SE put more crafting recipes into the game to provide things that players might actually want more of to enable crafters to make gil to afford things like ludicrously expensive houses.

And then they make many of them require materials you can only obtain by fighting something, or buying it from a vendor.

So basically, I can now make money but first I have to spend even more money.

Crafters can't make money because other crafters smash prices into the ground as fast as they possibly can.

Take the new Tidal Barding for example. Day 1 they were 3m here (and selling). Some people undercut by like 10k or so, which is fine for an item that expensive. Some other people though wanted to undercut by 500k+, so day 2 they were 1.5 million. Some would undercut by 1k (again, fair compared to the actual price), but those other people undercut by 500k+ again. Day 3? They're under 250k now, and not even worth making anymore.

The price literally went from 3m to 250k in 3 @#$%ing days because of like 1-2 people. That is the true reason why crafters can't make any money in the game.

Guys guys guys! Stick to the topic.
I know u guys r mediocre when it comes to reading the opening topic post, but let's focus for a bit and share info on how to obtain this elusive cloth that is called Tafetta cloth!

We fight and work for materials, we sell them to crafters,
We make what we can make to sell to others.
We earn gil depending on how good we played the market and how well was ur luck on recieving the drops.
We go to master crafters that will craft us the things we need via providing them the materials; whether it be bought or obtained outside of the MB.
We get what we "want", they get what they "need".
I get my spring dress and they get that nice 30k of gil i earned.
If you bought vanity clothing on the MB for like 600k ur a fool! Lol
So all together treasure hunting saved me 100k+ of gil.
Even if each map costed around 8-10k i still profit and have a smile at the end of the day.

I wonder if it drops from the maps that no one ever does, Leather or Goatskin.

That was just a response to that little conversation about crafters not making money.
A crafter i go to regularly has earned over 300k from me alone in these past 2 days. So he profitted as well as i did doing that step dance in the spring set.

It's ok, I welcome them anyways. i90 crafted transacted for a whooping 5mil on Tonberry server on the first 2 days

Meanwhile master crafters like us helped each other to make what we need (gears and base 3 star mats) for free or just a tip while we sell it on MB for millions

Jealous! The first guy to start selling them on Leviathan started them out at 1m and undercut himself before anyone else had caught up and started making the items themselves.

Gotta guage the wealth of the players in your server I guess. BTW the 5mil was a pentameld. There was another pentameld, the guy ask for 8mil, but was never sold (really too much to ask for I guess). Non melded was around 2.5mil-3.5mil and saw some transacted at 3mil.

Only lasted a while until people start catching up and prices literally dropped 50% per day lol. Next day non melded went down to 1.5mil-1.8mil and right now you can probably find them less than 800k on MB and people posting on PF offering to do them for 400k per piece.
