What is wrong with reclaim?

On the server I am on, FC3 goes for.... 35k. As desynthing is one big dice roll... why bother?

That's the thing, because a lot of people think that desynthing is one big RNG to tackle, many don't enter the market.

I started seling FC3 when it was 100k until it went down to 50k.. that was over a more than a month long period, made some decent money there..

The reason it's reaching equilibrium at 35k just proves my point, its raw cost is 35k and there's very little demand now, it's the same on Jenova, it sits around 35k now, the ship has sailed. People are just selling it at break-even point.. Truth be told though, since that doesn't count the price of lumber, clear materia and hippo leather, if you sell those things, it's pure profit. But because people don't have the exact figures, they're afraid to enter the market.

You can desynth about 1000 sandals over 2-3 hours (6m), break even with the FC3s, then sell the rest of the items for profit.. You'll still end up with over a million gil in profit.

Same deal with mastercraft and battlecraft IIIs, prices sure have dropped but there's still profit to be had there, this is the one area where veteran crafters won't re-enter the market because it is so time consuming and inefficient, many don't consider it worth while but if you're new, every little bit helps.
