how to get 150-250 clusters per ephemeral node. Money!

[ParanoidHobo]

Wow... Are people here actually trying to defend an expliot that gives players an advantage and can easily ruin the economy in a MMO!?

Really!?!?

What exploit? That is literally what that combination of skills should do and is doing.

Doubt it. Its probably supposed to give like 3-5 clusters not 30-50. Thats way too many. We'll have to wait and see what the maintenance is for but i wont be suprised if its for this.

Ghh...

It is obviously unintended and that is obviously what the maintenance has been called the fix.

It's easy to see that amount given is far to high for it to be normal.

It is an exploit in that it is unintended... The fact you feel comfortable using it because it comes from a combination of skills that arn't working like they should doesn't make it any less of one.

Except I've heard people are saying that A4 is bugged and you can cheat on it.
I've heard someone saying you can resell things you buy from NPCs for more than they sell it for, thus making it a profit.

Let's not just immediately assume things based purely on our own biases.

Only in the MB to other players. i doubt it work on NPCs.

If you ever DO see an NPC selling an item which you can then sell to another NPC for more than you bought it for, tread carefully. This is undoubtedly a BUG, and if you use it to make a lot of money, you stand a good chance of having your account banned. This actually happened once in FFXI; an item was accidentally introduced to the game with an NPC sale price higher than the price the NPC was selling it for. People figured this out before SE noticed and bought and sold a ton of that item. Once SE corrected the problem, they then went ahead and banned a number of players for exploiting it.

But yes, buying stuff from an NPC and selling it on the Marketboards for more than you bought it from the NPC is a common way to make money. There are a lot of people who don't do the research to figure out where items can be bought cheaply from NPC, and just blindly buy off the Marketboards for whatever price it's sold for there - and even in the case of folks who DO do the research, they may buy from the Marketboards simply for the convenience of it. It saves them a trip to the NPC. Sometimes, too, items are gated; there's a number of Dyes, for instance, which can only be purchased after advancing sufficiently in Beast Tribe quests. Folks who want the color, but don't want to bother with the quests, are going to turn to the Marketboards.

Buying from NPC and selling on the Marketboards is a great way to make money, if you take the time to figure out what sells well and what does not!

I find selling npc mats is a slow gil making idea and not recommended

I was talking about buying it from the NPC and selling it back to that NPC or any NPC.
Has nothing to do with the marketboard, thought it was pretty blatant I meant it was a bug, hence referring to it being a reason for emergency maintenance. It was a rumor but my ultimate point is not to believe everything one hears or thinks without proper context.

Everything you said is basic common sense and has nothing to do with that.
