This is primarily how I make my money, selling crystals and shards, and I don't think the removal of Fine Sand from NPC Vendors will shake the pricing too much. My main concern, although a little off-topic, is the lack of gil-sinks in this game. Fine Sand was really the only way I can think of where players would literally drop ~100,000G's to a vendor, effectively removing it from the game and making every other gil worth that much more. With fine sand being removed, does anyone know any other gil sinks in this game? Or is my 150,000,000G just going to keep climbing!?
