Anima Weapon Gil Cost

[SnugglesD]

I don't think people are mad about the fact crafts are included in the relic quest, but are mad at the crazy markup most of the "greedy crafters" are selling them for on the English servers. None of the the components are crazy hard to get as you pointed out (unlike the Zodiacs which required Big Fish and desyned mats. The crafted items that required those cost around 100k during their heyday on most servers). Few would be complaining if they were selling for 50k to 100k on the MB, but as people are pointing out they are being sold for 10 to 20 times as much.

What those people fail to realize is that the "crafting illuminati" had to shell out millions of gil and dozens, if not hundreds, of hours just to get to the point that they can make the items. Leveling and gearing your crafts is like going to med school. It takes a shit ton of time and money to do it, but at the end you make bank. Are you going to tell me you expect a doctor to go through a minimum of 8 years of schooling and 6 figures of student loan debt to make minimum wage? Same principle. You're paying for the expertise, not just the item.

I can confirm it's about 8million plus on Siren..it started at 12 million and hasn't dropped since, rather not pay that much for a weapon that will be outdated soon for awhile anyway.

Cost me 3.8m on Behemoth. Made the full amount back in less than 5 days so not a big loss.

Even though you made it back it is a loss.

Once the market value does down instead of the 6mil you would of had you only made 3 once the new weapons roll out and they don't update anima weapons again you spent how much on that just so its a high priced glamour. My cousin read this and said people used to say the same thing in FFXI but hows that 20million scorpion harness +1 oh that's right its only 200k now.

There is no content that requires you to have 210 weapons and so you spent that much on few extra damage even though everything is easy to walk over.

By the time the weapon becomes relevant its gonna be obsolete and sure you say its not a loss but I much rather have that 3 mil plus the 3 made instead of blowing it all on something that gives a tiny bit of damage.

SH+1 In FFXI lasted YEARS and YEARS. All gear became obsolete in Abyssea.
Anima weapon WILL have more stages, so I don't know where you're getting the idea that next waves of weapons will have zero inclusion of next tier relics.

Cousin just said na because it was easier to get the material after a few updates the price was flying down maybe in your server probably though in our server we spammed bcnm non stop Bismarck, also I'll believe it when I see it last time we were told we were getting more updates on those weapons they gave us a whole different weapon instead of setting our own stats.

I havent played ffxi much but he has since 2004 - 2013 so I have no clue what he is talking about.

I dealt with them by sending an alt to a legacy server to get them for less than 1 mil.

That's why I'm just determined to hoard beast currency for now. At least until I get my crafts to lv 60 and start grinding blue for the master craft tomes. And then its 430 or something to swap the class' to be a specialist in. If only the retainers could venture those mats for holy water and leather it'll help speed things up to get past that craft window.

Either way, 8 mill is still cheaper than the time and cost for these weapons and mats back in XI.

2.9 Mil currently on Gilgamesh (for all)

Sounds like the large amount of players on Greg means that you have a rather good supply chain pushing mat costs down.
