    it takes a tremendous number of shards to grind 1-50.
    i agree that, and have felt that it would be easy for RMT for bots to overtake shard sales,
    but we need a source of them that is as easy as the wards were. I could go through 5,000 shards in a DAY.

    I seem to remember having about 70 stacks of Fine Sand on my old retainer, wonder if it's still there and usable? If so, could make a little profit selling that

    Shards are easy to get and cheap on Besaid in the wards. Not sure what the problem is. I bought several stacks for 50-100 gil per shard the other day, which is just as cheap as it was before 1.19.

    My guess is that someone's income stream got disrupted....

    Looking at a few of the posts in this topic, i see that the supply has not run dry on all servers yet.
    Give it time. On Lindblum there are basically no shards left, and few Fine Sands.
    I'm sure some smart players stocked up on 100+ stacks of fine sand before the patch and that will keep things going a little while depending on how many people did that on your server.

    But i assure you, if you like to buy Shards, buy as many as you can right now. Don't wait till tomorrow, or you'll wish you did.

    My guess is that someone's income stream got disrupted....
    Also, my income stream was Silver Nuggets ... which i guess DID get disrupted in a way, but as a 42 miner i won't have a problem. What really got disrupted is that i relied on buying ward shards for grinding my crafts.

    I have to agree with NefarioCall. Fine Sand will have to be brought back. I’m one of them people that sell shards in the wards in Melmond, and I NEED Fine Sand.

    Fishing is so I can make enough shards, to make the shards I sell is going to be WAY to time consuming. I’ve already filed the feedback in the Support Center. So if anyone else wants it back, I suggest they do the same.

    It was a bit broken tbh. However, they shouldn't have rendered alchemy nearly useless with this patch
