For those who don`t get the problem with red scrips...

Going by the prices right now mats cost at max 20 million, its still alot but no way 300 mil, ppl overreacting again

I'm not sure where you got that figure from but thats absolutely false. It's hundreds of millions in mats on every server.

Right now coke is being sold for 800k ea on moogle, thats 4m a mat, someone on the crafting subforum said that he bought the astral birch ingredient for 2,5m. These are actual prices that ppl would also pay, not some inflated pseudo prices.

And scarebearz wasnt the general opinion that the crafted battle pieces suck and have no use in endgame, while the crafter equipment will be needed when 3 stars come?

The i180 pieces would be fine as a temp (temp being the key factor when it comes to value) upgrade for many, the problem is by the time we cant actually make these for affordable prices, they will be useless as everyone will be in i200+ gears.

Looking at the state of crafting in 3.x, do you really think anyone gives a darn about 3* crafts? I suspect when 3* is out we'll have a new version of "artisan" gear or something silly, looks like we'll also have silly restrictions on mats too.

So if anyone is spending millions and millions just to get "ready" for 3*, I think they have gone mad xD

I can link like 5 ppl saying its worse than upgraded law gear, i havent done any comparioson since i wasnt planning to craft any of it until i had my own crafter gear.
Anyway what would you do with your 2300 millions if not trying to get a headstart. A fraction of your money is already enough to buy a new ishgard plot.

You might aswell quit crafting if you dont think it will get better again. I for one are still hoping

With how rare current mats are, I doubt I have enough gil to gear all of my crafts.

I only spend gil on crafting when I think there is a decent chance I'll make it back, investing on speculation for 3* with how things are at the moment imo is not wise at all ^^

I'd quite like a i180 caster robe for my main (BLM), but frankly it's not worth anywhere near it's cost, as a temp upgrade that I'd replace in a few weeks.

Are you sure you read those prices right ? Because on my server the materials used to make 1 coke are being sold for 500k-800k ea, and you need 20 of those. Which would make the raw material cost 10 to 16m. Which would be raised even higher due to the requirement of red scrafter scrips to make the refined material.

Im not sure where you get the 2.5m from. I havent read that in any post.

So 10 ooids for 150k each and 10 BTN mats for 200k each means you're looking at 3.5 million per mat, and that's not even counting the cost of the crafting tokens. For crafts that require 3-4 of those, you're looking at 15m+. Even the ring, which requires only one mat, costs 4m+. Sorry, that's still not 2.5m and Moogle is no better than most servers.

you would have to read all the posts to understand that i never said it costs 4m to craft the item.

Based on your screenshots I would say the current seller of the purified coke is the person who bought them: a profiteer looking to resell them.

nah hes also selling Odorless Animal Fat for 7m ea right now, so i guess he made that himself and is trying to gain profit by selling to some rich crafters (which will never happen anyway)

The prices of hundreds of millions are not pseudo prices. The person you quoted who bought materials for 2.5m could only do so because he or she still had Red Crafting Scrips left, of which there are only so many to be had each week.


Tell me, are there any refined materials on Moogles Marketboard, and if so; how much are they being sold for?
