I put a stack of Rhea for 1,250 gil a few days ago (Which was just 50 gil below the average) I go check it today, it's now dropped to below 700 gil. The crafted 320 gear for Disciples of War/Magic on my server has literally not sold for the past 2 months, barring tank accessories.

That isn't to say that it isn't possible to play Shopping Wars but again, it's not exactly the same between servers.

While 320 gear isnt selling as much anymore Rhea is still used in i325 crafter gear so you could craft the Rhea cloths

I'm not saying it's impossible to make money here but it requires a bit more effort that I just don't see many people going that extra mile JUST to maintain some hypothetical rent cost for housing.

Like i siad i found it odd you said "The crafted 320 gear for Disciples of War/Magic on my server has literally not sold for the past 2 months" and i was making 2-5 mil off it daily. and by the looks of your mb id be making a ton more since i gather all my mats including sands. If you had just said it wasnt selling fast or any thing i wouldn't of thought much about it but u made a point of saying it literally hasn't sold in 2 months so i wanted to see and well your server has a better market then mine forsure .

As for profitable unless your a half way crafter all the ones i know gather 90% of what they need making there profit worth the time

And the whole point was if you put in time you can make money for rent.....
