I have mined and mined and have only gotten roughly a total of 30 Zinc Ores in a span of 2 weeks real time. I've killed about 50-60 worms and only got 10 from them. I've also traded about 100 Yagudo Bead Necklaces. My Norg fame is still at Lv.3 but the Rice Balls at the Tenshodo HQ are selling for about 158 gil. I am really trying to get Utsusemi because it seems like every time i'm in a party or am asked to be in a party and i notify the party leader that I don't have Utsusemi, everything goes wrong and they start complaining about me not having Utsusemi, although I warned them.
Now, right to the point. Anybody on the Ifrit server want to help a striving NIN out and give me about 8-16 Zinc Ores to help with my fame? I'd be in your debt.
Question.. i'm in need of Tenshodo fame. The Zinc Ore Quest is what most people are saying to do. Problem is that im too lazy to kill these worms for 100+ zinc ore's. Which would be the fastest way other than buying off auction house for 400 gil ea. Should i buy pickaxe for 250g ea. and mine for them in Zehrun Mines with 0 goldsmith skill and a few +mining equipment. Or will i be breaking pickaxe's too much and end up spending around the same price as if i were to buy them all off the Auction House. ??? I checked the guild shop and saw no zinc ore's. somebody posted somewhere that they were for sale there at certain time's but i didnt see $#@%. can i buy zinc ore's from any npc's?
?
i found a npc in the metal works that sells zinc ores idk if they still sell but they r in the smithing guild
hi~ i am rite beside the goldsmith guild right now and they are letting me buy zinc ores for 525 gils. its lightsday too...so now we kno it's not only on darkday when they sell it. hehe.
Seraph is the best server hands down..... EVERYTHING IS CHEAP!!! Not many items cost more then 700k except refresh body armors and Kracken clubs.. which are 1 Mil- 10 mil.
The ores I bought at bastok were only 100 gil..... The new venture roll game netted me 80k a day....... PLayed 2 days and got 160k from the damn game I only had 3k in my pocket!! making moneys easy in seraph and Buying stuff is dirt cheap..
Apparently, the yagudo bead quest to raise norg fame is not as effective as the zinc quest. In order to get Utsu: Ichi, I turned in 100 zinc ores, or did the q 25 times. I have heard that to do this using the yag bead quest can take as much as twice the amount of turn-ins.
But then again, yag necklaces are as easy to find as necklaces the day after mardi gras.
Wanna make a quick buck? Go to Zeruhn Mines with some pickaxes and mine the stuff. Its a common drop there and people pay silly prices for em in Bastok ^_^

If you are doing the zinc for Tenshodo fame, you start with one piece, for a quest in the basement of warehouse #2 in Port Bastok (across from air terminal). After CS, guard will take 4 pieces at a time. Mine zinc in Dangruf Wadi in the worm room (2d room to the left as you enter). Go with level 17 or so thief (or higher). In addition to the zinc, the worms drop flintstones (Bastok quest and GS lvl 2 item), hermit rings (5k or more), and sulfur (last I saw, around 8k the stack at AH). In addition, the usual from the gobs (wild onion, cotton thread, yew fishing rod or clothespole, occasional fast water rod). On the way to or from, get beehive chips, honey, crab meat in the Fumeroles, and always a chance to get yourself a pair of Bouncing Boots (or whatever they are now called; that's how I got my Leaping Boots a long time ago...).
I've found it very beneficial to hunt this item in King Ranp's tomb because the drop rate is decent, you can also get chest key, ascetic's ring, and check on ghost/spook/gruel all at the same time. And a stacks of flint stones add up rather quickly ;)
Even though this post is pretty old, I wanted to note that it takes about twice as many turn-ins (maybe even more) to get enough fame using the Yag Necklace quest. Thus these are still better.
Been running around with all my low level jobs, killin the easy worms for exp and zinc. When I get sick of this, I do go to the Zeruhn Mines, try to dig some up. I usually wind up with a bunch of iron >< (I mean it does sell good and all but...)The hard part is all the competion (sp?) for mining points, they are usually clamed pretty quick unless you wake up and log on really early in the morning off peak hours. I've never seen zinc at the guild in Bastok (maybe I just got bad timing). It might have to do with conquest too... </think> There are a lot more items in the leading country's shops...
On Midgardsormr, the Zinc Ore on Darksday sells out on an average of 8 seconds...I was hoping to stock up my inventory on Zinc Ore when alluva sudden it seems to be sold out...after "2" purchases, my face looked something like
-_-
..needless to say i'm just going to stick to buying it out of bazaars and the AH
The Mhaura goldsmith guild does sell zinc ore. I'm not sure if they do every day or jsut once in a while like in Bastok. I've only stopped in the guild there once, but that one time i stopped they did have zinc ore and i bought some. I think it sold for about 250, not sure on that as it has been about a month since I was there.
i dug up about 10 of these with about 3 stacks of greens in buburimoo peninsula. a stack of greens costs about 150 gil more than a singl zinc ore on the auction. not bad ;)
as many of you have been questioning, zinc ore CAN be bought by an NPC.
the goldsmiths guild in bastok sells it on ONE DAY a week only. im not sure if the day changes, or its set and if it is set im not sure which day it is. it usually costs about a little less than silver, 200-250 ish. for those too lazy to farm for the tenshodo quest come here. if anyone knows which day it is exactly please do tell.
i have seen it on sale twice so far so i have proof it is sold.

The way the Guild shops work is simple. They have a set amount of inventory. Each day it restocks a set number of items. In the cooking guild for example, it restocks 12 Mhara Garlic each day before it opens. That is why you see people crowding the guild early in the morning. Once it is sold out, it's sold out. People can sell stuff to the guild and it will immediately become available.
the day that it is on sale changes, i've found it there on lightning day and fire day so far. it also seems to sell out really fast (1 hour game time) so theres usually a bunch of people waiting there every morning.

goldsmith has nothing to do with mining it and in zerhun you will find alot of zince and iron ore,even tho copper and pebels are suppsodly the most common there not,i find arouind 13zinc ore and 12iron ore with 12 pickaxes
Does Mhaura Goldsmithing Guild sell this ore? If not why not lol. You gotta spend some fat cash to get enough fame for tenshodo ninja scrolls. Why not make it easy and sell em for cheap at guilds. Anyways my question is can you buy these anywhere other than the Ah?

...Right... copper... I'll just ignore the fact that you can buy them for 4g each at the Goldsmith's Guild ALL THE TIME. Since once I bought a pickaxe at 120g, i'd say you could get about 30 this way other than like ... 4 (Don't yell at me o^_^o) by mining them- you choose.

Speech the creators envisioned: Hiro: Hello, I am about to persue the infamous Dread Dragon, is there no adventurer brave enough to aid me in my quest? Speech the gamers use: Hirox: Hay every1, i'm gunna go kill dread dragon, anybody wna cum with?
zinc is a corner stone to make brass, getting the copper is easy, you can actually buy this from vendors, but i have yet to see a vendor sell zinc. there has got to be an easeir way to make brass, other wise they would be worth allot more.
depending on supply and demand, the goldsmith guild does, in fact, sell zinc ore in the shop. not too sure what makes it happen exactly, but everytime i pass the goldsmith guilds around 8 AM (game time), i check. 'cept of course, ice day when its closed
the worms in the zeruhn mines drop it alot. i just kill them for fun and get zinc ores, how nice. usually come out in about 10minutes with about 4-5 zinc
I've seen this happen, but it went to someone who was in the party for a few minutes. Didn't really matter, it's worth about as much as zinc sometimes.
Almost all the worm creatures (Tunnel Worms, Stone Eaters, Rock Eaters, Dirt Eaters, Land Worms, Maze Makers, etc.) will drop these, but Zinc Ore is rathar uncommon compared to Copper Ore & Flint.
Now, right to the point. Anybody on the Ifrit server want to help a striving NIN out and give me about 8-16 Zinc Ores to help with my fame? I'd be in your debt.
