They can adjust the rate at which they drop without making them ridiculously easy to obtain.
    Money sink is when money goes out of circulation. Giving your money to another player does not remove gil. Buying a house removes gil. I would sooner trade with the 1mil gil cap to get a lower price than give it to the MB for large purchases.


    The items are much more expensive because NOBODY WANTS TO DO SYNCED content. People still bird farm ALL the time, but because everyone does it unsynced, no drops get added to the market. You can't get the item because it's considered a monster drop. You can't get monster drops in unsynced.

    This is a broken system. They need to allow unsync farms to drop the crafter mats.

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing a totem exchange for them. That amount of poetics though was a little much lol.

    That's what we're saying. I just don't think it should be purchasable for 15 poetics like the other crafting mats.

    Same happened at HW start for ARR Ex primals.Most likely will get added to chest during 4.1 after most people got their birds in order keep it relevant as small incentive.Though yeah a token exchange would work good.

    I do think that the 3.0 items should be moved to chests like the 2.0 at this point or at least buff the drop rates. I remember when kingly whiskers were 5 mil plus until they fixed it. Though now that most housing items are not destroyed when they are removed I do see the point to keeping them a little rarer to avoid flooding the market. One good relic quest again like anima did with inferno horns, large levin orbs, etc will dry up the market again though for a while even if they did over do it.

    I'm not sure why they moved the Wind up Bismark to the Expanse baleen when every other primal crafted used the item of its name. Ex. Garuda Feather - Wind Up Garuda. It was just dumb. I don't mind that the harder to get item went to weapons and higher level furnishings, but ....the Expanse Baleen already had a value, most people didn't care about the Bismark one, or Ravana's Forewing.

    Anyways, I don't mind if it's with tokens but they do need to do something about the HW drop rates for primals Nidhogg scale is the worst offender since it needs 3 to make the barding.
