When levelling up your Chaosbringer to open the job: * Buy a stack of these (99) * Throw one to start each fight with each mob * When you throw your last one, you only have to kill one more mob to finish the quest!
ummm yes they do sell it at the chocobo merchant in bastok i am looking at it right now it may have something to do with either stock or conquest currently bastok is in first if this helps
I beleive this is due to your fame in the city, it's in all the cities for me, and i'm hero fame for all cities. I might be wrong, but seems likely to me.
These are not worth crafting, even for skill ups, at least right now, anyway.
On Leviathan, animal glue is selling for a lot right now, 8-9k a stack, depending on the city, but, using the old prices for what it takes to make them (Bone Chip x2 (300-400 (at the cheapest, so we'll assume a price of 200 each)) Distilled water (minimal, 12 gil at the most, price will be used to round out the crystal) and a rabit hide (100)+ Fire Crystal (200)) = 700 gil to craft the glue (save 50 gil each over 9k/stack), plus Wind Crystal (roughly 150, rounded with choco feathers) and 100 for the fang, your looking at a price of about 950 a synth, or 115 gil/dart, 11 times the cost from an NPC. So, to craft a stack and sell it on the AH (sells for 500-1k) it will cost you roughly 11k. 10k lost on 12 synths at that level is horrible! I think I'll stick with capes and hamachis for a 100-200 gil lose selling on the AH over that, thank you very much.
Just go to your friendly choco stable merchant, and pick up stacks for 990 gil. Twice the cost of arrows at that level, but none the less very nice for leveling throwing. Remeber, to skill up, you just have to hit, no need to deal any damage.
Darts yield 8, and the only reason anyone bothers with making them is to raise their Clothcraft skill. Any Darts that I actually want to use (say for leveling my NIN) I buy from the Choco Stables in WindWoods.
S.E. disabled the Ctrl+D COMMMAND around the easter egg event to help limit the number of people who accidently tossed away their hard earned lucky eggs. Go to Commands under keyboard config and you can set "Ranged Attack" to Ctrl+D or any other key you so see fit.
1st, u need to equip them @ your ammo slot 2nd, when u ready to use it... (set a marco would be nice!!) /throw <t>
I don't know if u can use /throw "Dart" <t> u know just to be safe!! cuz I had hear alots of story were people "/throw" their "Lucky Egg" away hehe....
Even if this recipie does make 33 darts each time.
Animal Glue = 300 gil in AH (aprox) 1 Bat Fang = 200 gil in AH (aprox) 2 chocobo feathers = 14 gil (with my fame at least)
Meaning it'd cost 514gil for the compents of just 33 darts, meaning it'd cost you 1542 gil to make 99 darts(that's if you succeed each time), when you can just (at least I can) buy them for about 1000 gil for 99 at the guy in wind woods.
But making an item that costs more to make than it does to just buy them from a vendor?
people usually make Darts to raise their Clothcraft Skill not to save money. People may use them after they make them but they make them to lvl clothcraft.
That's pointless... as you've seen, he priced out the materials... if you farm your own materials to make them then you're undercutting yourself. You could sell those materials and then buy more darts than you could have made, where's the savings? To me it looks like you actually just wasted time farming things.
It's like this for all low-level craft items. I only found a profitable alchemy recipe at level 21, and hopefully another one at lvl28 which I haven't tried yet.
Well, considering they were just recently upgraded to a stack of 99 instead of 12, either the info is right, and Square didn't change it, or the info WAS right, and needs to be updated :P
