filtered water going from 1 gil to 1k gil

...wut?

Filtered Water has been consistently that low on your server? X_X On Balmung 500g is the bare minimum and that's extremely rare. More often than not, prices neighbour into the thousands EACH.

It HAD been that low. Not sure when it changed. Filtered Water was ~1 gil way back when I got into endgame crafting and made my crafting spreadsheet, which was back in late 2.2 or early 2.3. I'm not sure when it spiked, as I bought 198 back then and slowly went through them over the course of a few patches. I went to get more recently and I was like, what the heck, when did this get so expensive?

I don't understand, on Excalibur I always see FCIII's up for 35k each. My average from desynthing shoes, comes to like 75k per practically. Is there a newer/cheaper method I'm not aware of to get them?

Edit: I just bought some for 34k each. This is crazy.

15% means that you'll get 1 to 2 from each set of 10 shoes you buy. At 6k per shoe, that's 1 to 2 for each 60k spent.

I figure, 3 from a set of 20 shoes. That's 40k each from desynthing them myself. If they're being sold at less than that, I'll buy. If the price is higher, I'll desynth.

I must have the worst luck! I like your 40k scheme.

HQ lumber also sells for 3k ea and NQ for 1k ea, Hard Hippo Leather is ~15k

even if you only get 3 out of 20 FC III you'll make another 30-50k with sidestuff

"Aged Spear (r55) -> 1-2x FC2, 1x Aged Spear Shaft (EY: 0.2) (needed for Zodiac Weapon, buy for 3k from Silver Bazaar vendor)
Perfect Firewood (r90) -> 1-2x FC3"

i have been spamming this daily since release of the zodiac weapon quest. and i have never gotten FC2!! either i get Aged Spear Shaft (the rate for this 1 out of 10 desynths). or junk lumbers/ingots. or clear demi 2. (1 only).

also i never got FC3 from desynthing the NQ Perfect Firewood!!! (only when i fail HQ crafting them. not very often)

My data on this could easily be bad. I never made these items for desynth myself, but other people reported FC2 and FC3s from those. Here's someone saying they obtained FC3s from the i90 crafted items:

Fun fact: The 3-star items you need to make with the new desynthed items are desynthable as well, and can yield 2 FCIII's. So if you nq one (like I did...), don't forget to desynth them and maybe get something for your troubles.

I don't have a source for the FC2s from the i55 vendor items. I don't recall where I heard that. I'll mark them as unconfirmed next time I update the guide unless someone can confirm them for me.

"dSkill 60-80: Aged Ring (r55) [60% - 92.5%] (FC2) (buy for 3k from Silver Bazaar vendor)"

Out of 99 (including failed attempts) yielded junk ingots/gems, aged eye of fire, and clear demi. No FC2

I desynthed 300-400 of these getting GSM from 100 to 108 and also received no FC2, plenty of Aged Eye of Fire and HQ though.
