I currently have an ever-growing stash of gil on my 2nd retainer. Its sole purpose is for obtaining place-holder gear when the expansion drops.

I started playing this game after Stormblood had launched, so...

-How long does it usually take after an expansion drops before you start seeing level-capped gear on the MB?

-How long does it usually take after a new tier of crafted gear is released before the prices stabilize?

I tried Google, but I swear that Google is no longer a search engine. Instead, it's a I'll-give-you-whatever-results-I-want engine.
