    An investment in fine sand

    I recently upon hearing news of the no NPC bought fine sand purchased a little over $7m worth. in fact 20,000pcs.

    This is enough to craft me 320,000 shards.

    What I'm concerned though is to back it up I will need 20,000 crystals or lots and lots of fish which is not impossible.

    With the current cost of crystals between 1-2k theres absolutely no profit to be made selling the shards at 130g each, its about break even at 200g.

    Do you think that the price will rise to over 300g or more again after this patch? Or do you think there will be hordes more people like me that just have a character full of fine sand?

    This reminds me of the one time me and a few people manipulated the price of fire crystals in FFXI by abusing price history >.>

    I think the fact that you felt insecure enough about your decision to post a new thread about it doesn't bode well.

    Wow I thought i might be overdoing it when i bought 50 stacks of fine sand. If it never becomes purchasable from an NPC again it could be a great investment for a long time to come. Only problem with this thread is now anyone who wasnt paying close attention can run out and stock up too.

    I'm going to laugh my little lalafell ass off if they make it so Djiggas drop 5~10 at a time like tails and baskets. I've been saying they should do that for ages.
