I knew something was completely off with the markerboard this expansion. I'm in the middle of writing my second gil guide and thought i was the only one who noticed how strange things were this time around. Glad to see i was not going crazy!

[thecivilmerc]

Oh nice.
So Market Board (Savage) dropped and nobody was prepared.

[benmorrow]

The undercutters are just going nuts. They must wake up dreaming of how to destroy things.

[oisinmcphillips]

Honestly, I thought I was going crazy. The only thing I’ve been able to sell with any degree of reliability is bicolor gemstone vouchers, my servers market board is cooked

[ScubbaSteve-tstt]

That’s why my stuff isn’t selling I had no idea it was a mess usually my stuff sells thanks Zane

[beautybysree]

love your videos, thanks for making them, very useful

[sladevalen]

Seeing how much gil you had is insanely impressive!

[ivankrizanic]

Readily accessible, FREE add-ons that integrate on top of already popular launcher that automate all of retainer stuff, all of crafting stuff that got updated on week 2 of expansion might be key to this conundrum. Miqobot being down for all of DT has affected gathering a bit but not nearly enough since tools for manipulating retainers and crafting are already insanely powerful.

[revartillery]

I respect and appreciate everyone that goes through the monotony of crafting en masse pots, food, and armor and gathering the requisite materials for said crafts but between that monotony and the frustration of dealing with the volatility of those items' market board status, it make me prefer turning to slower selling but more static-ly priced items. I've found great success with Turali Bicolor Gemstone Vouchers and various Treasure Map drops. The vouchers are especially great because they are kinda undercut-proof. I recently sold a 40 stack for 250k each while there were smaller stacks of 1-5 each going for <130k each simply because you need so many of them for the mount.

[FgtrLife]

This is one of the reasons why I love having moved to Dynamis for DT. We have fresh markets and not as massive an amount of players, so the prices aren't super deflated.

[pebblehime]

Another idea if I can suggest is sungilt aethersand. It's used for raid food and you can gather it easily with fishing either horned frogs in Yak T'el or spearfishing for sunlit prism fish in the NE lake there as well. On my server they sell for about 1350 each, and it's nice to have another item to sell that isn't just food or tinctures.

Oh so finally the market apocalypse hit NA too haha. I made about 2-3 mil off combat materias but had to stop coz i had to pentameld my own gear now. Housing items are also frighteningly cheap coz there's no new wards on the active worlds, hence no new house owners to make money off. Hoping people start dropping off soon or at least housing wards expand so that we can sell stuff like lofts and flooring mats again

[ciberkid]

Had this twintop table that was nicely selling for almost 3 million, then all it took was someone undercutting by 1000 each time and eventually it tanked down to under one million from other undercutters. This will help recoup some of the lost gil lol

[Jayceiscool]

i’ve been playing and crafting for years but i’m just so bad with money so i’ve never broke 10mil! but your vids have really made some stuff click so i think i can turn it around now, thanks(:

[blackjack]

I have been making a decent amount just selling the 690 crafter and gatherer gear. For sure getting sick of the morons that will undercut by 10-20 grand instead of just a penny.

[loneranger]

My strategy for selling is to price everything just above the lowwest price. If I need to buy or compete with low cost high quantities, I sell lower quanties at a higher price, where the overall price is lower for someone not wanting to stock up.
I try not to let competion on the MB get to me and settle on, 'it is what it is'.
By searching by quantity and find zero on hand with a high frequency, there always seems to be something to make gil on. It just takes a little extra work.
Thank you Zane for all your contributions.
Oh yeah, I have been making record gil by leveling jobs with fates. Can you say, 'gemstone vouchers'?

[VGPorage]

I have also noticed trend of people putting the occasional NQ gear for way lower on the mb wich are litteraly useless outside of glam and yet idiots still goes ahead and undercut it with HQ gear.

[Samochan]

Between 710 gear and glams and materia, I don't have enough room on my 2 measily retainers to sell much stuff lol, but I just use my time crafting and buying cheap materials instead of gathering much

[SkippyRoo]

1. Those weeks headstart on timed nodes caused a flood when people unloaded them on the MB

2. Everyone leveling thru fates & doing hunt trains not only tanked gemstone mats, but battle materia as well

3. Not needing to be fully penta melded lowered the barrier of entry for savage crafting. The issue here is that experienced sellers know when savage drops, you are racing the bots. You only have a few days before their stuff hits the MB and THAT'S when you just price to cut & run. People who list Jack all year round popped up listing items at week 2 or 3 prices for stuff on day 1. It was ridiculous.

4. People don't want to talk about it, but it's not just bots and RMT players that ruin economies. It's regular players using plug ins that automate mass crafting. That's how you end up with bis food & pots at chump change prices in less than a day. I get the convenience they offer, but it's evident those types of plug ins upset the balance of the game.

These are just my observations. If you're a crafter main, you know how to make millions regardless. It's just a little annoying cuz we look forward to savage patches. 😮‍💨
