Oh I bought 229 cokes.

[Ruddi]

So I bought 229 cokes to the price of 1500 each sold in stacks of 10 and 9, I wonder if RMT sell them or what do you guys think?

I don't want to support RMT so i hope not.

Say it with me now:

Hello, my name is Ruddi and I... I am a coke addict.
*uncontrollable sobs*

[Alistaire]

25.4 ingots...have fun with that

[Kuwagami]

people sell them by stacks of 9 because you need 9 per recipe. Though they're idiots. when I was doing that (3k/u at that time), I was selling them at 5k/u. It's funny how people prefer to throw 45k on a full stack rather than 30k buying them 1 by 1.

I love when I can buy them with 9 stacks, makes it more easy for me to buy em, I can earn 2/3 the cost of that I pay if not more depending on HQ luck.

Lmao I was thinking the same

Thank you, I use macro for HQ ingot so it is not too bad when I can watch youtube between synths.

To answer the original question, it's very hard to say.

Assume that someone has been SR Brayflox for myth. 50 myth per run = 270 runs of Bray for all books (13,500 myth).
If you nab a healthy chunk of the equipment that drops + whatever coke happens to come out of chests you'll probably be able to reach 229 cokes.
Also if you blew all the seals you saved up from FATE grinding ATMA.
Just gotta store them all until you're done.
It's possible. I wouldn't worry about RMT.

To buy 229 coke you need 572500 Grand Company Seals.

Let's say you're very lucky and get 29 as drops from dungeons, you'd still need 500000 GCS.
That's ~590 darklight items you have to deliver, or ~2500 FATEs.
It also means you fill your GCS cap 10 times, which takes some time, no matter how you look at it.

The question is, why would someone buy coke and store it, just to sell all of it at a later time for ~50% of what seems to be the normal price?
Makes no sense to me, but I'm always careful around retainers who sell large quantities of expensive/rare items.
Not saying it's not possible, but the chance of supporting a bot or RMT is high in such cases.

.

I also think that the 343,500g + taxes I spend on them was just so little money compared to what I can make of it and the work for such little amount of money seams crazy, but then again I am not RMT nor know if it was one who sold them.

I can turn the coke to 1,5 mill'ish and i assume so could a RMT if they had the skills.

[Orophin]

Tons of people speedrunning Brayflox and turning in gear drops for seals to possibly convert to crafting items. I wouldn't worry about it so much.

[dspguy]

If you bought all of them from one retainer, then probably RMT.
