Looking for a cottage >_<!

[Blue]

Again, thanks for the suggestions. As of now I have been spending the past few hours on crystal shards. It's not that big cash, and I think a guy believes I'm a bot now because of how long I've been here, but at least they're going up fast.

I would do spirit bonding instead. You can only get about 600 crystals an hour, which will maybe be around 60k.

 

A good round of spirit bonding can easily make you 200-500k.

I have looked into it, but it says it requires to convert il55 gear and up in order to get the expensive materia. I can't make any of that stuff yet >_<

None of the data I've looked at says that i55 has a better Tier4 rate than i49 or even i45 equipment.

Ah, not true, completely. Anything 45+, ANYTHING, has the same change of giving you a IV Materia. Stick to level 45 things (or near it) because it's cheaper BUT you would do well to have a weaver/Leatherworker to can easily HQ those things in order for that to be viable (I've bought on the auction house before, but even the level 45 stuff can eat into your profits if you only end up with 10 Craftsman Cunning III's [iT's HAPPENED].)

Yup, and nowdays you can buy really cheap DoW/DoM equipment as well, since combat materia sells well because of novus. Det IV's sell for over 200k most of the time.

[Warren Castille]

Yes. Yes. Please flood the market with Tier3/4 combat materia.

 

Cough.

I've been a poor spiritbonder. I barely ever do left side spiritbonding which means I spend less time there than others because it means I have to teleport to repair and then back because I can't repair them myself.

 

I've mostly made Franz made me the gem stuff as well as the red coral earrings and/or electrum rings (both kinds). The gem stuff are i45+ and have -all- given me tier III and a few Tier IV. You can also do it with NQ items, but HQ items -do- spiritbond faster.

 

The worst thing is getting 5 Earth IV ; But I've had 3 Savage Might IV come in and I sold them all for 200k ish gil.

 

 

... but crafting mats should all die in flames because I'm tired of all Craftsman Cunning IIIs. Seriously. Die. In. Fire.

Ah, I assumed that since Tier IV can only be melded into i55 equipment, then they could only be obtained by i55 stuff. I have the crafting classes to do i45. I'll give it a try, thanks!

 

I assume I'd have to craft/gather stuff that is lv38 or higher, right? lv1 crystals wouldn't spiritbond i45 stuff, even if I'm a lv50 node?

[Kage]

Are you trying to spiritbond stuff just through regular crafting and gathering?

I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and gather for money as I spiritbond, but if you recommend killing things, I'll do that instead, thanks.

If there's a party in URth's gift, spiritbonding there will give your items ~4% (HQ) in one pull. Even if it's just 1 WHM and 1 BLM. I did that with Natalie and got around the same percentage 3-4% I'm not sure exactly how much crafting you will have to do to get 100% on making the items at all... but most people I see who want to sell crafting material will just wear those items while they WHM HOLY or BLM FIRE3/FLARE etc.

Well, that's convenient. My main is BLM and my best FC mate's a WHM. Once she can finally get the patch downloaded, we will give it a try.

 

Again, thanks for all the advice, it's giving me some drive to keep trying.

You can do it! From what I can see, the devs hope to get personal housing in at 2.38. However they have hinted that it would cost close to what small plots cost either now or at the end of the price drops (2.2mil).

 

Said as much in this post that they still hope to get it in before 2.4.

Who knows, maybe they will add more wards in before that.

On the subject of personal houses, I hope the design is different than Guild houses, so it gives people drive to want both

I don't know, that could still feed the urge to possess a FC house for oneself. I think if they looked the same, it could drive away from FC housing all those players who bought an FC house just for themselves, and leave it to actual groups.
