World Transfer Help/Advice?

[raela]

You could also consider buying allagan pieces and clear demimateria as they have a solid set value if you can stockpile enough. Not to mention the items being sold on the board for below vendor cost.

No, this is a terrible idea that is in no way practical in the game.

I transferred with the Chaos move and had 15 mil gil at the time. I bought a variety of things (minions, thav crafting mats, thav onions, shards, materia). From my experience, I'd say shards/crystals/clusters were the best - very high demand, so stock is always moving, and if you sell in small amounts (100~300 instead of 1000+), you can get people to buy them at a slightly higher price. The prices on the other things fluctuated a lot due to the lower demand. It took maybe a month for me to sell the non-shards off.

EDIT: to pull up numbers I compiled before:

Just to help kill some spread of misinformation.. in order to transfer even 1 million gil, you would need 2,000 silver coins, 400 gold coins, or 100 platinum coins. As of right now, on Cactaur:

Allagan Silver Piece (sells for 500): 13 sellers, only 5 at vendor rate, 57 at 800 gil, 71 at 900, 106 at 1000, 1 at 1 million, 2 at 99,999,999
Allagan Gold Piece (sells for 2500): 1 at 4000, 10 at 5000
Allagan Platinum Piece (sells for 10000): 2 at 500k, 1 at 1 million, 2 at 4 million

Much better alternatives: look for popular crafting mats, materia, and/or shards+crystals+clusters. From my own transfer, I quickly realized it was much better to go for slightly lower value things that sell often. I still have some mats that haven't sold, and the price keeps dropping
