I'm about to transfer to Balmung but I've got a slight problem (aside from no home waiting for me but I can deal with that in the coming days)...
I have over 2,000,000 gil which I can't hold on to and have no plans on losing.
What are some hot commodities on Balmung that I can get on my current server and turn into some good cold hard cash once I get over to Balmung.
Maybe the new cosmetic gear?
Cosmetic gear tends to be the biggest thing, also most of the cuter minions are going for a good amount as well - though it was only the owl, panda, unicorn, etc - over a million when I checked yesterday so that might be a good investment.
Lesser panda is about 1.4mil atm.
Gaelikitten about 1mil
Owlet less than 1mil (990k range)
I did the same recently, but with more gil.
You can however store 100k on each retainer you have, and keep 1mil on yourself.
Just check the MB between Balmung and your previous and see what is worth bringing over. I personally gave gil away (even had to get rid of my house on other server) because I was a lazy derp.
Cosmetic gear tends to sell quicker. Minions can be a nasty market of undercutting. Not that the normal MB isn't too, but I remember trying to sell a baby opo-opo minion for nearly a month due to undercutting when I moved servers.
