Today's item for alchemy guild points was a busoto. This always makes me cringe because whenever it's an alchemy weapon, it's the same story.

The weapon is always sold out in every AH (to those who camp this stuff, get a damn life already!) and I can't buy it from the local NPC's because Bastok is NEVER first on my server. (I'm from Windurst so I'm not complaining TOO much but it's still a pain) So Bastok's merchants never have any of the good stuff. But a quick check revealed an NPC in bastok sells these and since he's Tenshodo, he's not affected by Bastok's pitiful conquest efforts. Yipee!

Unfortunately, on my server, people are camping the tenshodo guild and constantly buying these, which has driven the price to 3-4.5k. There was a time I could buy them as cheap as 2.6k... However, it appears that I am not the only one de-synthing them:(... Well, time to look for a new desynth item... this one is broken

if you have enough fame to get the utsusemi quest, you can buy this for around 2.8k at the NPC in Norg. I just found this out last night... after I had bought it from the AH for 4.5k. I feel ripped!!!

Crafted or vendor-bought only, as far as I know.

You might as well consider this one only vendor bought... Craft cost for this is so obscene that I don't think anyone in their right mind would craft it to sell it....

* Crystal: Fire 500g (free to farm)
* Copper Ingot 500g (11gx4+fire to make)
* Cotton Thread x1 1k
* Elm Lumber x1 2k?
* Iron Ingot x1 3k
* Lizard Skin x1 1k
* Tama-Hagane x1 5-10k (yes it varies that much)

Total cost to make: 13-18k. Price to buy from vendor: 2.5-6k. Typical price in AH: 4-5k

Which would you pay:P?
