    "250k per run", so if you took two people it's 125k each? Is there a discount if the players aren't complete derp?

    No, that's bad wording on my part. It's 250k per person.

    Seriously, don't buy into this. I hope you aren't considering their offer Kismet? Titan is a chance at 1 weapon, and it may not drop for a good long while. You're being asked to pay an over priced lottery free. It's an absurdity at best, and a scam at worse.

    Battle leves don't even generate this amount of gil, and unless your keen on crafting you'll never generate enough money to replace the loss because I can guarantee you'll be operating at a loss if you buy into their "get rich quick" scheme.

    Titan is the last step of the relic weapon quest.

    And this some how justifies your over pricing of the run? Please spare me your idiosyncrasy!

    Knowing the encounter is not necessary, as we can 6 man it, though it does speed it up.

    If you're interested, send a tell to Yenn Sylph in-game to schedule a time.
    Not to be mean but.... are you insane? What could possibly be worth shelling out 250k for -one- run? Sure, there's the relic quest, titan weapons, etc. But it can be beaten through trial and error. Even then, this is a pretty shoddy price. If you're hoping to make more in a long run of Mercenary like runs for a guild, it'd be smarter to go with a lower price that many could find affordable and make up a large sum of money through the masses rather than one or two people who -may- want to shell out that much.

    20,000 per person is far more reasonable than 250k. It's not too difficult to save up/obtain 20k for the individual and you can secure multiple clients this way. Lets say that you do runs between 7 to 8 pm. That's one hour to conduct your operation. Lets say it takes 12-15 minutes to beat Titan (roughly). You can get in 4-5 runs against him in that time. And again--lets say that you take on three clients a run. 60k in your pockets right there per run. Within that hour you've gained 180k. Within a week that would be a profit of 1.26x10^6.

    Be smarter about your operation and you can make a larger cashflow. Otherwise, you're just overshooting/looking greedy.

    We've been selling to 3-4 people each night for the past week. We'll lower it as demand goes down, but right now, we're okay with 250k.

    Anyone who doesn't want to pay and doesn't have a competent group is free to go wipe at it for a couple dozen hours.
    Currently, most groups can't even get past the beginning of phase 3, if they can even reach it.

    Somehow, that seems pretty unlikely to reach those many people per night for the costs you are driving. They must be pretty...well...dim. I hope they don't have real bank accounts. Oh well, good luck on your shakedown and unsustainable business model.

    This kind of prices is the reason some people buy gil from gil sellers, who is insane enough to spend 250k for a single run?...gil buyers.
