Just beat Trial 1 on Extreme, which is the first time I've ever done anything harder than a normal raid, then accidentally spoiled the identity of Trial 1 to a friend while excitedly telling them we won :hellyeah:

What a coincidence, so did I! Without the spoiler.

No Aiming accessories, whistle music and crystal dropped and I won nothing.

I really enjoy when you do a normal and can see how things will get more complicated, A few things still took me by surprise when learning but I could see how it fit together.

I don't think revealing that Zodiark is finally a boss should count as a spoiler. Revealing he's only the 83 trial however,

Borderline Anti-Social Schizoid
Every time I put something 'expensive' (like over 50k) up for sale at the average price it's sold at recently, no matter how long ago the last item sold or how far away from that price the current listers are selling for, within 10 minutes 1-5 people are undercutting me by several gil.

It's insane. Even if I start dropping the price by thousands/ten-thousands, they just undercut me again within minutes. Just throwing away tons of gil for no apparent reason.

Solution is to crash the prices to make them pay.

Or just don't care. You'll get the sale eventually.

If you're the one dropping the price by tens of thousands then from my pov you're the one throwing away tons of gil and ill undercut you by 1 gil out of spite

If you're dropping the price by several thousand gil when everyone else is only dropping by single digits, then you're the one throwing away money for no reason. My advice is to just chill out and not get in an undercutting war. If the market for the thing you're selling is fluid enough, you'll get a sale eventually, even if you're not currently the cheapest one on the board.

Also keep in mind that you might be overvaluing what you're trying to sell. Just because something is listed for 50k doesn't mean anyone is likely to buy it at that price.

I managed to sell my entire crafting log on almost every job over the past year and there's no reason anyone should be buying most of that garbage. People will eventually buy your stuff, with a few price adjustments if other people keep listing under you.

I rarely go into the field, motherfucker.
So I discovered that if you're doing the ShB ng+ and you're in the very first quest at the part that is like "head to the crystarium" when Lakeland has no enemies and you teleport to Eulmore it breaks the quest and you can't progress and have to start the entire ng+ run over, luckily it's right at the beginning.

I can emphatically confirm that this is not guaranteed. I've lost track of how many things I've listed at slightly below the regular price (in line with everything currently on sale and everything in the recent history), only for the market to permanently crash before I make the sale. Then a few months later I notice my retainer still has it but the regular price is now 20-80% below what it was when I listed it.

Alliance Raids - LotA. Done to death. So much walking. We just don't have the technology if someone pulls Atomos early to put people in their lanes sorry enjoy wiping. No, when that boss just keeps saying INVULNERABLE over and over that means you're not doing anything. No, standing behind the meteor is not optional. No, standing on the platforms is not optional.

There's so much about LotA that sucks.

- The first pack of adds with the one mob whose cone AOE will likely hit the whole Raid.
- The Atomos hallway.
- The Dullahan boss, for the same reason as the Atomos Hallway. I had an instance where I was Tank of Alliance A and someone pulled the boss before I got to the arena, only to wind up not getting the buff. So I genuinely couldn't Tank the thing and everyone bitched about it.
- The bomb pack which I have seen explode and kill everyone about three times.
- The behemoth with the rock shields that everyone leads the Iron Giants over to.
- "Stand on the buttons or Not!Titan will blow up the entire Raid. Possibly twice in a row."

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I always find it funny when people complain about undercutting because constantly undercutting until the price reaches its lowest sustainable point is literally the ideal market scenario. It just means that the actual price is way below whatever you think it is.

LotA sucks rear end but I will say in its defense, all of these are also mechanics that you can do wrongly or confusingly (or in the case of bone dragon, correctly), to get people killed in funny ways, which is a point in LotA's favor imo.

I like LotA because I know all the mechanics, so if the raid wipes it's not my fault and therefore is very funny
