What did you do with Red Crafting Scrips?

[Silverbane]

I have used my Red Crafter scrip for:
1) one L180 Mainhand (to bootstrap making other mainhands)
2) three four L180 Body gear
3) Buying mats (along with Favor node mats) to make 2* items

I got into Gathering way late, but I have 45 Red Gathering tokens.

If my math is right and assuming I average (edit: 2 items) 2 items per Favor, that would be 300ish Moonbeam Silk (etc.) to sell/use.

Moonbeam Silk is around 200k on my server for NQ. I guess I could make a little gil.

None of the gear is a direct upgrade except the mainhands, but I don't need any more Craft/Control for 2 Star unless I want to aim for a better rotation.

edit: Checking my math.. someone correct me if I'm out of my mind: 45 tokens = 45 x 5 Favors = 225 Favors. Average 2 items per favor. 225 x 2 = 450 turn-in items. Turn in is /10 = 45 complete turn-in sets, so multiply 45 x 15 = 675 sellable items? My math seems weird, because that's like 60m gil on my server even if they were 100k. .and they're currently 200k+.

Turn ins require 20, not 10, plus a DoH red scrip token. Plus you will likely average 3+ per favor. So let's say your 45 DoL scrips plus 36 DoH scrips, for 540 sellable items.

But... Look at how fast they sell at the MB, and you're likely to see more up for sale than the amount that have sold in the past month. And you will spend well over 20 hours of game time doing the most dull and annoying activity ever conceived by SE to get them.

I guess I should make a correction, I only have BOT at 60. I haven't even unlocked Miner since 1.0, haha.

So I'd have to buy the Ooids which would cut that amount in half, but I'd spend half the time as well which I can use to do my normal gil making stuff.

So it would technically be 10. 1 Crafter Token, 10 Favor Items, 10 Ooids (purchased). I could probably sell most of it before 3.2 by diversifying the items themselves and selling the favor mats straight up without converting them to silk/coke/etc.

Ooids prices vary from 60-80k on my server. So, always rounding up, I'd spend 800k for 15 Moonbeam Silk. Around 1.3m after tax per set. (rounding Moonbeam down 50k per also) -- Purified Coke is 200k minimum, sale history has them 300-350k. Sale frequency isn't that terrible: around 80 Silk sold in the last 2 days and 25 coke, very few posted.

So, assuming various methods of selling, I could probably count on 50 million pretty reliably. Maybe make/sell some 2 star or something.

edit: And I suppose with the leftover Crafting.. I could save them in case they're somehow used for next tier things or buy some main-hands or something.
