Guild Points <--> Gil Conversion

[guyincorporated]

Heya, just hit 28 bonecrafting tonight and got myself set up with a guild contract. Time to start saving for the shades!

So I need 70,000 guild points. How much can I expect that to cost me? Is a 1g <-> 1GP rate too much to hope for?

**Update**

Logged on today, the lady wanted shell rings (skill cap of seven).

Shell rings cost Wind Crystal (160g) + Seashell (90g) + Fish Scales (80g) = 330 gil.

I got 151 guild points per ring, so about a 2.2:1 gil:guildpoint ratio. Shell rings +1 only netted me 212 guild points, so it seems pointless to turn in my exeptional crafts (yay new moon!) for a 40% guild point increase.

on average 25k gets me about 4-6k gp (goldsmithing)

so to get my shades.. probably like 300k+ gils (before the patch)

1g <-> 1gp is not possible. well, unless you farm all your own stuff then sure it's possible.

I average around 4-5gil/gp. If it goes over a 10-1 ratio, which will happen sometimes, I just wait another day. Every now and then it's like 2-1, which is the lowest I ever see it, and I jump for joy. I figure my glasses ran me at least 300k, and my tapestry 600-700k, as sometimes the ratios for high level items can be pretty decent.

I was getting the same rate for the same item last night. I did my synthing during the 75% moon on darksday, had three HQ synths, one failure, and turned in the rest. I was still 250+ away from the limit so I managed to buy three shell earrings off the AH in Windy for 250 each and had a spare one on a mule that I turned in.

So, in hindsight, I should have just bought all the shell earrings I could from the AH's and turned them in.

More updatey goodness:

They asked me for a bone mask yesterday.
Giant Femur - 600
Sheep Leather - 800
Bone Chip - 150
Earth Crystal - 50
= 1600 gil, and I got 510(ish) GP's. 3.13:1

Today, they asked me for a bone harness.
Pugil Scales - 50
Sheep Leather x2 - 1600
Giant Femur - 600
Bone Chip - 150
Earth Crystal - 50
=2450 gil, and I got 300(ish) GP's. 8.16:1

OUCH. :mad:

Today it was bone cudgels.
6 bone chips = 840
Giant Femur = 400
Grass Cloth = 300
Wind Crystal = 160
= 1700 gil, and I got 725(ish) GP's. 2.34:1

MUUUUCH BETTER.

I read somewhere else that the GP you get is proportional to what the items sell for to NPCs, but I can't check now.
