Ultros - In terms of the Markets, it can vary from very sparse to flooded in a matter of hours. Prices are all over the place. For example, the price of Silver Ingots fluctuated from ~1K each on Sunday to ~3K on Monday, down to just a few Hundred each last night. The Sparseness that I mentioned can also be hellish for prices. I've seen something be a good price, gone and gathered/crafted a decent amount, and by the time I get back to sell it the price is tanked. Then there are certain things that nobody seems to craft, and will sell for any price you put on it (35k for a pair of wristbands that cost <500gil to make). Looking at an item's price history is very disorienting. Is this the case on other worlds?



As far as FCs go, all I can really say is that there are a few very large, visible ones and lots of small ones. I've never encountered anyone in a dungeon or raid who was actively hostile, though a few instances of exasperation. Generally it's very easy to make friends.
