Mules that cover the entire zone of windurst water. Yea.

Lol.. They've already got the new fishbots up and running or the old ones didn't get the boot.

[EDIT: Update]

I just checked the common overstock products on Asura, and found that the stock on Silent Oil has dropped from the 90-100 units that have been in stock on a daily basis to about 30--a 33% drop and the price has nearly doubled to 10k per stack which is only 25% minimum hq to break even--a profitable synthesis. Prism Powder stocks dropped by 50% but haven't regained profitability yet--most people who make this stuff use masks, and it doesn't usually get up into the profit from purchased fiber range anyway.

I'm still seeing sales from the nonsensical name crowd (in the Remedy and Icarus Wing markets), however, so I think that our friendly neighborhood GS product makers are still fully functional. Que malo.

The last pair of O-Kote's sold this morning was sold by a known (or suspected) Gilseller--who is still active on /sea.

Re: FFXI Account Bannings

Wow. I don't think Carby ever saw silent oils below 15k per stack. But somehow I bet that even at less than 10k/stack you still had parties with people who didn't bring any because they were too expensive.

At any rate, I love the timing. SE says NO to holiday gil sale this year! And banning over 6000 claimbots could be a huge step, too. /cheer Special Task Force

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go see if Ulli is up :D

Hm...

Anyone else the sudden increase in people actually VIEWABLE in the Live-Cam? >.> Me being someone who always watches it time to time, it's rather strangle. More RMT activity? ._.

Exactly the thought that came to my mind. Meanwhile I made a lot of gil last December and January from a BCNM, but the items I was buying were triple what they are now! (BCNM with a 100% drop that sold for 1.5~1.9M.)

Guy in my LS spent 13M for his Hauby, I spent 4.75M for mine 4 months ago, and I believe it's less than 2.5M now. People in my LS bought Scorp. Harnesses last year for 9M, while they hover between 1~1.5M now. I really hope this prevents the same sort of fire sale on gil like we had last year.

Re: FFXI Account Bannings

Wow, so maybe my farming efforts to make gil won't be so futile anymore ... I've been really poor lately after a few purchases I made. Maybe my stuff will start to sell again.

/em prays.

I really do hope they're able to catch some of the RMT crafters. It would be nice to make a decent profit with woodworking one of these days.

QFT, woodworking sucks these days.

Re: FFXI Account Bannings

Uh... sushi never became cheap just because of RMT crafters, it became cheap also because of Sanction's food buff and the burn TP trend. Since it makes food last longer, people don't have to buy it as ofter. Since people don't buy it as often, it becomes harder to sell. Since its harder to sell, the price is lowered in hopes people will buy in bulk

And, in the case of non-TP burn PTs, they do.

Additionally, the Melee x4 WHM BRD merit setup just has a BRD play Madrigal and March. This catches them up just enough not to need sushi so much on VTs. And at that point melees either use attack food or none at all.

Sadly every single melee except for a few use sushi+1 with madrigal and march AND having fenrir's +acc buff. Also, prices fall down when the supply of sushi+1 exceeds 70 stacks up at all times.

Most TP burn parties I have been invited to have a bunch of warriors, brd, and maybe a smn. I see the warriors all getting madrigal and march, maybe a corsair/smn buff, Aggressor, and all are still using sushi+1, and they all still burn through 2 stacks of it per hour due to Snatch Morsel.

I have seen a really big increase in the amount of sushi+1 stacks within the last... six months or so, maybe more. I would be more inclined to say that it is due to more stacks up on the AH, and people undercutting by 20k+ per stack and trying to drive people out of the market.

As for the enhanced duration, I don't know how long that lasts, I haven't used it yet.
