Bookshelf  

This furnishing now gives 20 storage spaces.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a bunch of cupboards from the npc in San D'Oria? They have less elemental power, but I think that even if you bought twice as many, you'd still pay less then you would for bookshelves.

I'm Looking into either Buying or having crafted 20 Bookshelves, I currently have 20 Cabinets, for the 80 storage, but I would love the Fire element. I'm currently farming and saving my gil, Is there anyone on Leviatian that can give me a quote for crafting such items, or maybe i can obtain the materials ect.

Woodworking (95)
Goldsmithing (--)
Yield: 1
Crystal: Earth
Brass Ingot x1
Ebony Lumber x3
Lacquer Tree Lumber x2
Mahogany Lumber x2
Dont quote me on this but the reciepe they say above is wrong. Mine I believe is rt if memory is correct might be 3 mah and 2 ebony

In short... Bookshelf goldsmithing cap is LOWER than 46...
Not 52 as listed on mystery tour and ffxi.cannotlinkto!
Goldsmithing is still required, just has a lower cap :(

Here's my story:
I saw on mystery tour that the goldsmithing cap for woodworking was 52 and cap for woodworking was 95... so i thought hey, this is great, i can make bookshelves while breaking even (cost me 80k, sells for around 90k but take a loss of around 10k on average from broken synths... I like to get skill ups faster while taking a higher chance to break, especially on slow selling items that allow me to breakeven, screw the tiny profit if i craft conservatively hehe, the time it takes for bookshelves to sell out of my AH, i could have sold 20 stacks of mahogany lumber at 30k profit each)
My woodworking was 91, i can take it up to 95, goldsmithing is 46 take that up to 52, perfecto!
WRONG... the cap is below 46... after 20 synths i got 0 gold smithing skill ups and lots of woodworking skill ups.

I also tried talking to the advanced support dude and the medium support dude and neither of them were suggesting bookshelf recipe. :(
Oh well... makes me wonder what a royal bookshelf's goldsmithing cap is... hehe though crafting this badboy will be a major loss if no one buys it or if i *gulp* take a critical break so at most i'll try it once or twice for the sake of knowing the real GS cap hehe...

(I reposted this on the tradeskill forum - figured more people would see it there at first but eventually get lost, while here it's more permanent)

You got one for 90k? I wish I was so lucky.

These are going in Bastok, Leviathan server, for 140k+. >.> you evil people ; ; {j/k}.

Apparently, once placed in your moghouse, after a certain amount of time, your moogle shall find an item in this bookshelf. What it is, I do not know.
Can anyone clarify this "item from the bookshelf" question?

hi i resently purchased two of these bookshelves in hope it would help my cooking skills,can anyone please tell me if this was a good move or a waste of gil?

goldsmithing requirement is 52. yes, it does indeed take 3 tufa with the mah. lumber to make

In a world where only carpenters with 95 woodworking skill are capable of making a bookshelf, everyone would keep their books in milk crates on the floor like a bunch of college students.

Sheesh.

Sorry Printed Twice
