Marketplace confessions

[NephthysVasudan]

Yeah, who in the right mind - *casually dumps 107 pots of Soot Black dye out of backpack* - would need 99 dye buckets - *lowkey kicks them under a conveniently nearby rug* - anyway? A weirdo hoarder, that's who.

But in all seriousness....you have to be pretty...well...uh....how can I put this....a pom short of a moogle to buy dye on the market board.

9 times out of 10 its easy to make yourself..or you can buy at a NPC....hell at that rate ask someone to make it for you.

Exception being the metallic dyes etc.

The cool thing is that one DoH class can craft the whole lot of available dyes for crafters assuming it is at a sufficient level to do so. So no need to level all 8 of them if crafting is not your thing. Unfortunately, available dyes for synthesis makes up less than half of all available dyes to players. Some dyes are also NPC specific i.e. only one vendor sells a particular dye, so sometimes research is required on where to exactly find the dye you're after. So I wouldn't go as far to say as buying dyes of the MB is bad practice. It definitely is if you buy an overpriced stack of a common dye when the vendor who sells it for cheap is literally right next to you.

Have you any idea how much of our economy is based on people not checking NPCs?

As sad as it is, yes I do after I almost got suckered into it when a friend stopped me from overpaying. So I guess my marketboard confession is ever since then yes I do look up every item I want to have and see how and where its obtained before I buy anything off marketboard

All good and fine.....but the dyes you find on the MB...are NPC/Manufactured with jacked up prices.

Remind me never to invoke your name again.

My confession would be I'm fully aware what dyes NPCs do and don't sell but I'm so lazy that I'll probably pay 3k for a 40 gil bucket if it's too far away.

I enjoy making money off of people who don't check vendors first... those new flower vases that are sold in Gridania for 5k each? Totally buy a bunch every so often and sell them on the MB for around 50k a piece.

Yes, of course. We pay ridiculously high prices for convenience in the game much like we do in real life. A lot of similarities in gaming and real life economies, especially when it comes to the cutthroat sharks

I've made a small fortune off of buying and selling NPC items. gear, consumables, everything lol
