The Placing of Mules

[Lauranthalasa]

Hi all,

I'm giving a serious shot at mining, and from what I've been able to garner from the boards, it looks like a mule is just about necessary to make any kind of decent profit mining (barring the rare OMGWTF ores you can dig up. What I was wondering is, what city would be the better place to have an ore mule? Bastok, or Sandy?

From what I've seen of Bastok, yeah it's got the Blacksmith and Goldsmith shops, and slightly higher ore prices, but the AH is swamped with ore and the prices fluctuate accordingly. Would a mule there be able to compete with the other ore mules and the inundated AH?

I don't know much about Sandy muling yet. It's got a Blacksmith guild there, so I can see how ore would be needed, but on your servers, is there a high demand for ore in that city?

Thanks ^^

On my sever atleast most ore is sold in bastok. with that I dont mean its just most up at ah it sells much faster in bastok.

Especially iron ore sell really fast... sure price can move a little but price for ore are pretty consistant so shouldnt be much of a problem.

I've noticed on Caitsith that you want to sell zinc at Bastok because it goes from 300 to 600 gil depending on who is trying to do norg fame. Also Gold and Darksteel ore sells way faster there.

Platinum and any more valuable ore you will probably have to sell in jeuno.
