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

There's no exploit in that video. That's literally how aetherial reduction is supposed to work. Those items have scare little purpose in existing apart from being turned into crystals and sand. Come to think of it, the video doesn't even show the real trick to it, so I guess there's no problem.

Well we were talking about the leves being a possible exploit, that gathering video is different, i think it just gives too much and it could saturate the market unless its reduced

Might be intentional, a way to kill one of the main revenue streams for RMT.

starting to realize that.

Which, if it is intentional, is a good way to kill off one form of revenue for gil farmers. Now they just need to sort out the other main source, Materia.

Also ya know making shards n such a reasonable price. I remember back b4 I quit in 2.4ish shards were up to 100 gil each and you needed like 30 shards for a combine. Everyone was wanting the damn RMT back because the amount of shards you could get an hour was like 1/1000th the amount of shards you needed to do an hour of crafting even mid lvl crafts.

As an FYI, in FF XIV 1.0, nearly ALL regular Monsters you killed dropped Shards.

For a long time, most players *just playing the game* (killing Dungeon Mobs, not even Gathering) would have THOUSANDS of Shards in their Inventory.

And it worked beautifully: It eliminated any RMT trying to control the Shard market (because any average Adventurer / Player can just naturally get tons of Shards just playing the game, without gathering).

Then Yoshi P changed it and made Shards, Crystals far more rare, which in turn only benefits RMT Botters and those with massive amounts of time. (I think it was a bad decision.)

It worked fine in 1.0 with excess (so that anyone could try out Crafting or sell their excess Shards / Crystals if they didn't care). Sounds great.
