Crystan,
Posted: Mar 30th 2006 6:14am, Score: Sub-Default, [expand] Anyone else wondering why it takes 2 whole sheep skins to get 1 clump of wool? Thats 72 sheep per stack of wool cloth! They really need to add some HQ varieties to this synthesis, because farming this stuff is a pain in the backside as sheepskins are one of the rarer drops.

Can Sheep wool have a high quality result once your leatherworking is around 60ish? If you could get even 2 wools on a synth that would make these more profitable than Leather.

well farming the sheep in the dem area is a great idea for beginner leather crafters for many reasons 1 sheep wool goes for 8k a stack at ah 2 if your a decent clothing crafter you can turn 12 sheep skins in to a wool cloth 5k at ah 3 theri are the bee's for beehive chips 4k a stack, wings 2k a stack, and honey 2100g a stack and then to top it off you got the elements and rams. and the best for last mary her self milk goes for 6k each and horn is 200k great place to farm spend lots of time thier and you will make gill like its water!!!!

Just take a look at the date of the post. Everything in this game has increased in price, its natural inflation.
I just wasted 3k+ for a stack of rabbit hides in Sandy on Valefor. Since 1 mantle is 5 hides and a grass thread thats a fair loss for a early skill item. This would take me from 2-4 and at the same time alot me to profit from the final recipe since sheep skins are alot cheaper than leather.
this to me is one of the best ever items to synth. because when going to dem u can farm mary wich she rarley drops a 110k horn and u can get some bee chips wich are 3k a stack and u can farm the skins there to make wool.if i farmed in dem for one whole day i would make about 30-40k and if i got marys drop that would be a 110k.Well wool only takes up 1 wind crystal and 2 sheep skins and u only have to be like lvl 2 or 3 leather craft to make it.an easy way to make a good profit is farming there. that is the one and only place i farmed for 35 yes 35,35,35 lvls thats alot of lvls to be farming in one place.while u farm the skins and looking na eye out for mary and getting some chips there u can look for rams!rams!rams!they drop alot of the time like 2.5k or 3k worth of items and they spawn alot also if u wanna get sam in dem go get sam.im kinda getting off the subject but ya know farming skins and more than just skins all kinds of mobs there u can be smart read this and listen to me go to konscatt highlands wich i call dem cause i get tele dem there alot cause i prattically live there when i need gil.go to dem for sheep wools. bring about 4 stakcs of wind crystals if u know u want some gil if u make 4 stacks that=28k.wool rocks!!! ~~ in asura wool goes for 7k a stack make it happen become rich off of wools.
.if i farmed in dem for one whole day i would make about 30-40k
30k in an entire day? You need a new place to farm lol, this place might be good if your highest lvl is like 20 otherwise I wouldn't farm here unless your going after mary's horn, since shes a lottery pop you gotta kill sheeps anyways.
ok i know its not alot but still if u stay in dem a whole day u r most likley to get mary at least twice wich she always drops her horn and maybe a horn and plus beehive chips wich now are about 5k and wool.i know about lizzy and the emp but man tell me this wat r the odds of u getting one of them?I need 250k for spells.i added them up.and i need new armor and im sitting here in altep trying to lvl when i know i need gil.i am now lvl 36 and think dem is getting out of style.but wool is about 8k a stack now and chips r about 5k that makes 13k.wool is like wat?lvl 4 to make it without failing every time. so i just said it was good because i would make about 15k an hour because i would aga the sheep and wasps to were i get about 4 skins every time i aga and then rest then i get about 2-3 chips.and ya got mary she drops valuable items.so im just saying if ur a blm go there or if u r a low lvl and need gil.im saying lvl 18-28 about.maybe to 30.
Xidus is right in my opinion.SO are you but you have to know that mary's horn isnt rare as you think.Its not over camped and bearly even camped, im 2/5 on the horn and it spawns in 2 places at very close spawning time.SO one mary would spawn at one of the places then from 2-1hr another will spawn, i hear people say that the second one spawned in less than 5 minutes.The horn isnt all that rare.If it was it would be worth over 100k and its not from the last time i checked
He means 'rare' as in the icon on the item that says you can only carry one. So in other words it would be useless to camp Mary for more than one horn, since you wouldn't be able to get a second one.
----------------------------
If you don't bother reading the whole thread, don't bother posting in it.
not knocking whoever said "rare" to being with, but i think it would make things a lot clearer if they said "RA" or "Ra" to mean you can only carry one (since that is what's put on the item iteslf) and then only said "rare" when they meant rare drop. but hten again, most people actually say "rare drop" when that's what they mean. wahtever. i guess it would really be simpler if SE used a more appropriate adjective than "rare"
I think most people will start to lose eye coordination by the time they got to the 3rd or 4th line... I guess the brain's selfprotection mechanisms fastforward to avoid damage, when the cognitive processes have finally decoded the first few lines...

How Lazy Can u Be HUNT YOUR OWN CRYSTALS FOR MAX Profit im Sry to say But if u havent notcied Lathine platue is almost always windy and excelent way to pick up about 2 windy clusters from windy elemental.
La Theine Plateou may way be nearly always windy, those of us without Wide Scan have problems since we can't find those damn elementals as easily. I spent about 6 hours one day just looking for an elemental and never saw one just because I can't locate them easily. Anyway, have a good one.

If you go between the ramp that goes down to the canyon which leads to the "Front Door" of Ordelle's Caves, and the narrow pass to the lake, there's one spawn.
In general, you want to skirt the rims of all the canyons. That's where to good majority of the spawns are, if not all of them.
Short of that...hit lvl 30, buy some silent oil, and do the BST quest. They get widescan too.
Bst widescan isnt useless. It does see farther than you can, and by all rights, it'll beat someone without widescan at all especially if your even close to the right area for spawns

Its a very good craft to lvl up skill, plus, if you farm the materials( wich are very easy to get) , you can make a stack of wool cloth. These sell for 10k each stack in my server.
Once one stops leveling up their skill from these, it is much more efficient to make sheep leather from the skins rather than making wool. 24 skins to make a stack of wool that sells on my server for 6-7.5k, or 24 skins that can easily (if you have any tanner skill at all) makes 24 sheep leather that would sell for more than that, for each stack.
Only reason to go back to making wool from the skins is to level clothcraft.
Actually, I don't think you're looking at the whole picture. You have to factor in the cost of the other materials as well as the sheepskins. A stack of dark crystals costs about 3.5k versus 1.5k for a stack of wind crystals on my server. Then add a stack of windurstian tea leaves, which is going to cost you around 250 gil a stack if you buy it from an NPC in Windhurst. If getting tea leaves in Windhurst isn't practical (which if you're at the San d'Oria tanners guild is sometimes the case) then you need to buy them from the AH, which on my server is 450 gil a stack. At about 9k a stack for sheep leather and 8k a stack for sheep wool, sheep wool is actually a little more profitable than sheep leather for me, although I prefer to craft some of each so as not to oversaturate the market.
Additionally, it can be stolen from Tremor Rams and Mad sheep in Konsicat Highlands. Most likely it is any sheep or ram monster will have this to be stolen. Never stole anything else from a sheep or a ram.
at the same time good for skill leveling but crappy selling in my server fenrir the sqaures of leather sell for 1000 a pop in windurst 10k for a stack of 12
