Gil Sink is nice but

[kobe-sabi]

25mil to 50 mil, the only ultra rich will buy these mounts, if they really want ppl to spend gil then make it good for all. reintroduce old relic gear and have a primary color and secondary color dye options. start off with 2.0 and go from there each set cost 5mil per job. ppl would pour gil into dye able relic gear with two color options. we have alot of jobs with cool relics gear. if one buy all 2.o gear that's over 60mil for something a player can see all the time and show how unique his color pallet is. add more dyes players can buy from the NPC non tradable form 100k to 250k a piece thats another 1.5mil to 2mil per set if the colors are cool.

I got to looking around at the prices when I first logged in. Before this I had a mighty need for the gold namazu mount. After seeing the price of that...



I had to do a double and triple take back to back, and then check my eyes to see if they were functioning properly. They weren't playing around when they said these would be gil sinks. I'll most likely never get them (I have other things I'd rather spend my gil on) but hey, if someone has enough excess gil that they can treat themselves to a fancy mount that shoots gold coins from the center, then they can enjoy it. I wanted them, but not THAT badly.

The funny thing is, it's really only a gil sink for people who make "normal" amounts of gil. The people who have played the marketboard game for years and people who were dedicated crafters from 2.0-4.5 have so much gil at this point that 50mil mean nothing to them.

I'm not even trying to make money and had no problem to buy them.
Even bought the ronka mount twice to gift one to my GF.

Now I'm poor with 57mil.

I expected them to be 50-100mil.

Is is nice to see items you can purchase through Gil and hard work. Rather then using 10-20 USD to just by the thing out right. I make it point to never fall below 10mil at any point, but that is some serious Market Board dedication to spend 50mil on a single mount. I could probably attain that in 5 weeks....maybe 4 if I focused.

Still Gil sinks are required to push the value of items up on the Market Boards.

Maybe. However you don't get ultra rich by just throwing your gil at literally anything with a high price tag and for those of us with a lot of gil, a recolor of ShB Beast tribe mounts (probably the least prestigious mounts in the game and practically free hand-outs) aren't really that desirable. If I see someone on the gold Namazu mount, I don't really feel impressed. I could afford it easily but I'd probably barely use it myself, so there's no reason to buy it.

Yeah. I've seen a few people say basically the same thing, or something along the lines of "I could but I'd be broke". I think they might have been more effective had the price been lower for at least the Namazu mount. 20-25 mil seems okay...ish, though I personally feel that they should have been maybe half that. More people buying = more gil taken out of the game. It is what it is though. It would have been nice to snag at least one of these but I won't lose any sleep over it. I don't need them.

I don't think most people only go for mounts that they consider prestigious. Things can still have value even if they're easy to get.

This is true. That's why I ride around on my SDS Fenrir pretty regularly. I just like it.
