I thought that's what bicolor gemstones were for, to bypass having to kill a thousand mobs to reliably get a handful of mats. edit: or retainers, why aren't you just using your retainers, nonFate mobs exist to be flavor, not for actual use, their exp gain is laughable and their drop rates are poo poo.

Because my retainer is currently wearing my artifact 70s because I don't want to buy a set of Scaevan for him. Granted, that's a problem that solves itself after a few dungeons, but I want to do the Crystalline Mean now. (This post brought to you by hunting Green Drakes for an hour, only getting 6 skins (I needed either 24 or 48), and buying the rest off the MB)

They're all pretty interchangeable now that you can cross-DC travel, but I like that PEBE has channels that cross-post events from other servers, and links out to them. https://discord.gg/PEBE

No sense buying 90 of a thing if you only need 3, even if the three are per-item more expensive (unless you wanna try and resell the rest, I guess).

I do wish they’d rip off WoW’s modern auction system. You just specify how many of a thing you want, and it automatically buys everything starting from the cheapest.

I'm too risk averse to try any kind of market baron shenanigans and I just don't log in enough to keep an eye on it as much as I'd need to. I should try and make some cash back, though. I had 50 mil when I moved to Dynamis, blew most of it on a house and haven't really managed to recoup any of it.

You can sometimes make decent money scouting around other worlds in your data center for good deals and reselling them back home, but don't bother trying to be a market baron. Eating up all of an item and trying to rule the market isn't feasible, since people can just go to other worlds on your data center, so you'd have to bounce around your entire data center constantly to try to buy out undercutters. You'll make a lot more money (per time played) just running map dungeons and selling whatever you loot.

I'm accomplishing more in XIV lately. My Summoner is 78, I got the mounts from the first two savage Omega raids in an unsynced group (and unlocked the Ultimates, natch), and I joined an Anima light farming group and took care of the Anima Lux step I completely forgot about after that. It was nice to just kinda... get some stuff done that had been staring me in the face for a while. Once SMN hits 80 I'm gonna look into finding a group for Delubrum Reginae, and then see what's up with Zadnor after that - hopefully it's not a ghost town.

I spent 20mil buying up all of the ex83 crafting ingredient when it was new but close to a patch, i was able to boost the price from around 100k to close to 1m for a couple days, but i didn't think ahead to have enough gil to keep buying out the undercutters so it settled at around 300k-ish. Demand was too low at the time to keep the price much higher since they didn't announce crafted weapons, there was just the barding

They're also good for getting Aetheryte tickets, except for the ShB/EW set since they don't have those for sale, yet. It seems like the experience curve as you level shifts a bit, like under level 70 your daily roulettes and just dungeon runs are always going to be your best bet, and beast tribes and hunts give marginal xp for the amount of time you put in. However, once you hit 70 the dungeon xp isn't quite as high and, notably, the beast tribe and daily hunt xp picks up quite a bit. Having done a bunch of hunt stuff to level, the fully daily hunt rewards are about the same xp as doing all of the daily (combat class) beast tribe quests. So like the pixies give about a million xp per day, which is quite a bit at that level, and the hunts give another million, so pretty good. The arksadora give around 3 million per day with the hunts giving similar, which is actually phenomenal for a filthy casual like myself. The hunts are also a nice consistent way to get your chocobro some xp. I haven't quite got around to unlocking the new deep dungeon, but I'm hoping it provides a decent chunk of xp as well.

Hunts are actually tied to a percentage of your level, except ARR because those don't give EXP (the Hunting Logs are in place for levels 1-50 instead). I don't have HW's amounts since I didn't have a Job those levels to check, though I have an alt I play sporadically that I intend to check with when I get there. The other expansions, however, I do know. StB and ShB (and HW for level 60) are the same. Being X0 will give you 17% of a level if you use that cap's expansion's Hunts (HW for 60, StB for 70, etc.), while using the next expansion's Hunts will give 33% of a level. It then slowly scales down as you level up, losing a percentage or two every level until it drops massively between X9 and Y0. EW bumped the EXP by quite a bit in the lower levels. Doing them at 80 will give 50% of a level. There's a much harsher decrease, though, going down to 45% by 82 where the others go from 33% to 30% between X0 and X2. It still rewards more towards the end (34% at level 87, for example), though. (Writing this post reminded me of the Newbie thread, which I completely forgot to check out the new one when the old closed. I'll have to remember to give it a read when I get the chance...)

Zokari posted:do people actually worry about running out of money to teleport? Worry? No, it's just a line item in my balance sheet. I like to have my gil balance generally trending upward, which has not been a problem at all on my main. My alt, however, only has 6000 gil to his name, so I need to remember to actually hoof it most of the time. Zeruel posted:how does Doman restoration make you money?

I successfully tanked the price of a hairstyle from HoH by like 100k once Doma is just "Sell some stuff, get a better price for it than from a vendor." Like you could actually buy allagan coins off the marketboard and make a profit selling to Doma. I once boggled at multiple people selling stacks of coins at sale price, meaning no one made a profit, and was informed Doma was the reason. They tend to get whatever I've accumulated over the week. Clear demimateria, coins, fish, rocks, all my hopes and dreams, my old report cards... It's only at max 20k a week (And I'm not there yet), but it's still a boost comparatively.

Yeah it's not a geyser of infinite money but it does turn retainer trash into teleport money quite easily. Edit: I know why they don't but I really wish you could stack Allagan coins in higher quantity stacks but they don't want people to be able to store and transfer ridiculous amounts of money easily. It's also why they closed the coffee biscuit loop, to control the economy. Kwyndig fucked around with this message at 13:03 on Mar 13, 2023 |

The ones that confuse me aren’t the ones posted at 10% of the going price, but the ones going for like half ”sell to vendor” price. I mean, they had to interact with their retainers to get to that point so just get them to vendor it for you?

So many items vendor for like 2gil, it's easy to just not think about or look at the vendor price field when you're setting an undercutting marketboard price and then get caught out when you marketboard one of the smallish number things that vendor for something decent.

I have mine set to ask at anything above 600, but whenever it's around 600 I go ahead and pay it so I should probably set it to automatic use at 700. ...If I can remember where the option is. I think it's the gear menu in Teleport.
