In 2020, I bought Suzaku barding for my main character's chocobo Moltres for ≈30k. Later for Princess Celestia's Philomena chocobo and she paid ≈50k

I have boughten a few others for a few different alts and never paid more than 60k for one.

Now you CANNOT get one for under 160k. I had my Lugia character sever hop after seeing it for 175k on Leviathan only to find that 165k was the cheapest on any server. Lugia's "Ho-oh" is now without her fire gear.

In just one year's time, the Suzaku barding jumped from 30k to a WHOPPING 160k - 250k depending on server. My Lugia character is new and cannot afford to be paying 5-6x the normal price for shit.

Why are people price gouging the Suzaku barding all of a sudden? It is now going for five times more than it used to.


People are so quick to report people selling gil on whatever XYZ website yet those same people are jacking up the prices, price gouging the marketboard. They are only encouraging people to get their gil elsewhere.
