NO more gil...

[Hix]

I love reading crafters bragging bout how much money they have to adventurers. Newsflash to crafters - adventurers don't give a crap about having millions of gil. What adventurers care about is, am I going to have to stop playing because I can't afford repairs? For these people, having to level crafting to 50 just so they can do dungeons at all is grounds enough to quit the game. The issue isn't that adventurers want lots of money so they can buy all the perks that come with wealth, the issue is that adventurers want to be able to play the damn game at all.

But what I'm doing is giving gil out. Say you have an item that you want to sell but don't have enough gil and don't want to wait for it to sell for 24,000. So you put it as 10,000. If I see it, I will buy the item for your price and resell it at 24,000. your getting the gil you want and I'm still getting profit from it. On a daily bases I'm forking over about 1.5 mil a day just out buying the auction house people and slowly building my gil up. So the gil is there flowing.

Again, that's great until the market starts to crash and that item is really only worth 4k. Then what? You take your gil and go home? If you quit that's 4 million gone from the economy forever, relatively speaking. Not sustainable.

Edit. If you see a crafting items that someone is selling for 99 as a bundle and you know that item for that crafting class don't need much of. Buy it and resell it in smaller bundles, and it's the same with as if you have 99 of an item but don't know how much that crafting class needs. sell in bundles of 20. They will sell.

Again, that's great until the market starts to crash and that item is really only worth 4k. Then what? You take your gil and go home? If you quit that's 4 million gone from the economy forever, relatively speaking. Not sustainable.

Then you adapt. At said moment no one knows what the "proper" amount is to any item till 1 or 5 people take "control" over the board. If the market crashes then I take my loss and figure out a new strategy. Though I can't say if or when I leave the game but for now I don't plan on it.

It's really sad that people have gotten so used to games handing them items and money on a silver platter that they don't take the time to use their brains.

Guildhests: 1-2k+ gil per run
Levequests: Easily 2k+ gil per leve

If you have 100 leves saved up, you can easily make 200-400k from running those. And neither of those options even consider trading on the market.

BattleLeve's at 50 are like 470 gil with a decent bonus for speed. Oh and you have to repair afterwards too.

Prices are going to settle based on what people can afford or are what they are willing to pay, not on wishful thinking. A lot of people have not yet realized gil becomes much harder to get at 50... in many other games, you get more currency (and more ways to get it) as you hit max level, not less. People have been spending based on that, and you're starting see prices falling for a lot of things already as servers become more crowded and more people are hitting that wall at max level.

Some of you talk like your only option for travel is teleport.

I have been making a respectable income selling madman's whispering rods, quicktongue materia 3's and potions when my fav item of choice will give the damn thing to me. -.- Alternatively i get good money from selling off high quality items and creations. For example sell 3 elixirs for 150-200 gill each gets descent buys. I could go on but i don't want to give people too many good ideas on what sells well for me.

Low quality items have a pretty poor sell rate so steer clear of going down that avenue of making money. Your best income will come from people like me who want only the best mats at reasonable prices. High end tradecraft demands a certain level of excellence in items created and that is why high quality mats are crucial and most sought after. Get your marketing cap on and read those lists to find out what your server is low on (or being overpriced) and head out and get some for us tradies. : D

What are you talking about?? max lvl Guildheasts is lvl 40 that give 240g with a bonus of 50g. Highest leave gil give is 400-500 with bonus, stop talking nonsense.
