800K-850K is the price for 99 synths, if you buy the fletchings and arrowheads, and if you make your own lumber.The price for a stack of demon arrows is 40K currently. So Supose you make 30 complete stacks out of those materials, by selling them all you make about 1200K less 15K for putting them up on AH. In Siren its very profitable to skill up on these, you pay off all the materials, and all your crystals.
More people are becoming high level crafters, and those people that once had strangleholds over HQing all these arrows for profit are now having to compete with these new high-level crafters, and prices get lowered accordingly to demand.
Someone on your server must have recently decided to start making these for profit and along with any other crafters are trying to move these arrows faster than the current demand. I wish my server had this 'problem' ><; Going for 19k+ on alexander/stack.. expensive
I think he was referring to the price of the arrows going down.
If there's enough competition to warrant the price of the arrows to go down in price then it's sensible that the price of the arrowheads would go up. The same people competing to sell the arrows are competing to buy the arrowheads. Bonecrafters are just taking advantage of that.
Titan: Demon Arrowheads 850K a stack for 99. Hard to find, usually only a few stacks in Sandy, if your lucky some in Jueno. I think the fletchlings are going for like a 100k or something. Arrows are currently selling for about 30-40k a stack. I was leveling on these, but I can't afford a stack of arrowheads at 850k. I think this update on arrowheads and fletch was a total ***** to woodworkers. To craft demon arrows, I basically got to invest a million gil, and make about 30 stacks of arrows.
Hades Demon Arrowheads 70k per 12 Arrowwood Lumber 6k per 12 black Choco flteching 1.5k per 12 Earth Crystal 1000 per 12 Total 78500
Demon Arrows 20k per 99
4 stacks per ingredients @ 100% success 1500 Gil profit.
No worth it to profit from but not soo bad to skill up on, Im currently 60 ww gonna cap at 62 on darksteel bolts which im getting profit on but very rare skill ups.
Hopefully i wont fail too too much at 62 wood when i move on to these.
im currently @64 ww and i keep breaking on there non stop and get a skill up every 100-300k ive spent on them, is there any other way to get the sucess rate up? could i use support?
On Seraph these things go for 15K per stack. Demon Arrowheads x12= 64K Blk. Chocobo Fletchings x12= 1.6K Arrowwood lmb. x12= 4.3K Earth Crystal x12= 1.9K
arrowheads are 60k on asura unless you get them crafted for you by a friend.. arrows sell for 10k/stack.. if you try to get them crafted you're looking at ~45k/stack assuming the person making them has 100% success for every 6 stacks of heads.. when all is said and done if you have a head maker.. you only lose about 20k.. but thats only if you get 100% success.. otherwise you're looking at quite a big loss for these x.x also armored arrowheads arent even an option on asura.. unless you have somebody to make them for you forget it.
Looks like I'm going to stay at skill 61 for awhile; I'll just try for the occasional skill-up on broken Taru rods until ... um ... I'm rich. (Full disclosure: at skill 61, I'm really a tad low to try a skill-cap 69 item, even if it DID have a good profit margin.)
On Ragnarok lately, the profit from Scorpion Arrows is rather high, making it all the MORE tempting just to avoid making the jump to Demons. I'll just keep Scorping away, making a decent if not huge profit.
Demon heads 70k BLK. Choco 1k earth crystal 1k arrowood lumber x12 (like 300 cause i make my own lumber. anyone who buys lumber is an idiot imho but on AH it's 3k) so 70+1+1+3 =75k selling for 23k a stack or 92k/4 so about a 17k profit (asuming no breaks)
on my server its 5-7k a stack for these arrows, and demon arrowheads cost a ton. basically its not worth doing unless you have a good.. oh... 500k to waste getting from 61-69
On Lakshmi Server these arrows cost 10-11k a stack. I can get a stack of demon arrowheads for 40k and black chocobo for about 3-4k. and arrowwood sells for 2.5k a stack unless you log it all like me. So lets say you log it like me. that is 44k in materials you have bought and you will synth a number of 12x per stack.
1/4 return on synthing is 1 stack - 10-11k 1/2 return on synthing is 2 stacks - 20-22k 3/4 return on sytnhing is 3 stacks - 30-33k 100% return on synthing is 4 stacks - 40-44k
So on my server you I will try this at level 63 hopefully and make around 1/2 a return and only loose about 20-22k from each stack of synths until I am high enough. There is hard making these till you are level 68 for 100% synthing so that you can even come even. Getting above this level is expensive and time consuming as well but after demon arrows become 100% for me I have no reason to continue with woodworking.
