Slow but steady Profit

I've been making slow, but steady profit on these.
Reishi mushrooms go for 20k a stack on Pandy, Hecteyes usually 1-4k, sage goes for approximately 200 gil a piece (4.8k for 2 stacks give or take), crystals 2k, and water is dirt cheap so usally what i'll spend is 28k for ingredients. These sell at the lowest 5k each, so I make at least 60k per stack of ingredients, so 32k profit. I skill up very well on these on firesday during full moon phases and facing SW (I'm 76.7 at time of post), sometimes 0.5 skillups per stack. Unfortunately these rarely sell outside Jueno so I'd get myself a mule there (if you haven't already), and sell 6 yourself and have your mule sell the other 6. When you log back in the next day you'll be looking at 30-40k in each delivery box.

These *do not* give medicated effect. I just bought one and used it right in jeuno to check if it did. My loss of 10K gil is everyone's gain in knowledge :P

these only NPC for 369 gil. Will lose about 1600g per synth if you lvling on them and sell to NPC.

But if selling on AH it'll be about break even.

I brought a couple of these to my Genkai fight with Maat and found out using it has a slightly nasty side-effect... Using one renders you unable to cast spells for about 5 seconds! which kind of stinks when WHM fight relies on being able to cast spells to live^^;;;;

AGREE! It was slow when using it too! Better only use high-potion +3 when fighting Matt.

2,000g is so worth it! It has saved me so many times. A must for any toolbox.

Please snag one. You will be extremely less annoyed at some point, which through the trickle down effect bennefits all.

A word of warning then, for you or anyone else who skills on X-Potions: for me at least, the skillups seemed to drastically reduce once you hit lvl 74. Up until lvl 72/73, i averaged .5/stack, with a record high of .8/stack (on firesday). After 74, I was lucky to get .3/stack (also on firesday). Maybe it's just bad luck.

Other than that, though, they're great. Typically sell fast (unless there are many others skilling up on them) and a great break even/profit synth. Highly recommended.
