An educated rant: Why pentamelding is %@$&*!-backwards

[Kakure]

Triggered much?

...

You understand that I was mocking you... right?

Saying "you're lying because my crafter friend is rich" is a ridiculous response in its own right, but all the moreso when people are trying to explain to you how the economy works.

I genuinely couldn't begin to care less whether you listen and learn or continue to walk around thinking it's everyone else's fault that you are poor and that they're all lying to you about it.

TO all the clowns saying crafters don't make a huge profit.

Tell that to all the crafters who were bragging about making bank before the new raid tier.

Tell that to the real life friend I have with his nearly capped gil from crafting.

So you're either liars (what I think), or YOU'RE THE ONES BAD AT MAKING GIL WITH CRAFTING.

People made bank before the raid gear by scrip crafting and selling materia, the people who didn't make money are the ones who spent 15m pentamelding the day before the patch only to find out that oops, there literally aren't enough raiders to buy all this incredibly easy to make gear

Well, I can't really speak for the crafters as I am not one, but as for gathering, with a little bit of care and attention, I am on track to having enough to afford a medium house when 6.1 comes along. Gathering has been good to me. The important thing is to carefully watch the market boards for trends to see which gathered materials hold more value. You have to play smart. Just throwing any old thing up on the market board is not going to give you a guaranteed payout.

Nah man. Even what you’re saying here is not entirely true. Because we have too many crafters & too many sellers but not quite enough buyers. It’s a simple logic.

Knowing just from your real life friend(s) experience doesn’t suddenly make the whole entire dedicated crafter population filthy rich even from the patch day sales.

Since anyone can do any craft on one character... just level crafting if you need the services that badly. Personally, I level some crafting just as a break and change of pace. If some people are making bank off it- good on them. No one is stopping anyone from just crafting yourself...

[elioaiko]

It's really not that hard to level crafters. Ishgard Restoration has literally made it super easy to do so.

Pentamelding is annoying but considering that omnicrafters have to slave over the market board, the least you could do is pony up the materia and cash to pay them.

Yeah, the claim that pentamelded 580 crafted gear is better than 600 savage/augmented tome gear is currently just absolute nonsense.

Your correct. After reading my post I realized I put savage....when I meant normal. My bad. LOL

In that case yes, it is certainly better than normal raid gear.

Got savage on the brain. P2S hates me.
