The A.M.A.N. Trove BC

The intent wasn't to change your opinion. Rare items are typically priced around the effort required to obtain the items normally. 150M is earned in less(time) than it would take you to farm the item from Shinryu so it's actually a fair deal. Doesn't really matter what we think about the item, only the buyer.

I'm increasingly convinced most people that still play FFXI buy *** tons of gil anyway so 150M is nothing compared to farming items.

I've seen Dagon sell for 40M when I'm 0/300 or so. I could make 40m much quicker than 300*20mins run (100 hours). Ironically I make most of my money selling Utu Grips too though.

I think homie outed himself as a broke boi.

If you nest yourself in the toilet it's not surprising everything around you starts looking like ***.

Chaff?

Cus I don't buy gil? k

What's wrong with selling omen drops? How else am I supposed to make money if not a gilbuyer?

Lots of us have methods of making gil that dont involve RMT or mercing.

But of course, thats all Asura broke bois know: rmt and merc.

To make significant gil legitimately? There are no ways other than mercing or botting.

By botting I am including afk crafting.

Excluding bot for obvious reasons, but merc is mostly the same as the legit ways. You farm content and collect items, materials or currency for people who didn't want to do it for themselves.

Yeah but the effort:gil ratio is lower farming anything than mercing afaik.

itt: buying alex, rema stones, currency, HMP, anything off the AH that can be farmed is mercing.

Depends on what you consider significant, mercing can have the highest time:reward ratio, if its something highly sought after that you can get to drop on the regular, but its reliant on drop rates more often than not. There's plenty of steady income to be made, especially if you got 2 chars to get you into areas, as thos tends to have inflated prices for that reason, then theres just basic crafting, its not all locked behind a shield

Prime Weapons introduced that for a vast majority of players freeze their development of new jobs, because that means slowing down their Prime Weapon Progress. No high end purchasable armor since Su3 gear released (in terms of AH-able gear).

I had zero hesitation about paying a shout 150m for a Crep Cloak, because honestly...I'm not spending gil on anything else except food any more. Not making new jobs, no new gear to get for my existing ones, so its either that or be one of those guys who brags about their 1bil Mog Garden.

I think you've confused yourself, because I have no idea what you're saying.

Cloak is worth 150mil. Its the Mail and Helm that questionable. But yes very little to spend gil on now.

I've gotten some sweet trove deals just by zoning to the place it dropped and actually being there on time to lot.

Everyone knows the big legit gils are in the arrow industry.

hehe its called SE capping moving gil from a mule to your main at 1mil^^ At least for some of us ;)

I love references to items that are no longer obtainable, rofl.

Yeah, Troves is great. It's a shame that Shinryu HTBF doesn't actually have a proc'ing system to make it actually feel like we're playing a game, instead of a stupid grind-fest.

They can still be traded no?
He's trading multiple times to the same person so it looks a little less sus, could be a regular though.

Either way, if you don't want to get cought with your pants down just buy the item that you want and send it to your mule. If you want to transfer gil buy fast selling high priced items and send those.
Or simply flush after you took a dump.
