that was prices around the great gil sale of X-mas 2005, everything easily doubled in price, and it took several months, and banning of a number of gilsellers to get prices under control. I want me one of those rings /em drools

"I would even go so far as to say the best RDMs and BRDs are completely unnoticed in their parties. After all, when a support class is noticed, it is typically when they miss something, and are being spammed/yelled at because of it. This type of job holds little appeal for those who want recognition." Quote by Foolycooly of Caitsith
You have it lucky lol. Atrals on Midgar are more expensive then ether rings merely because astrals are lvl 10. last time i checked astrals were 1.2 mil and rising. ether were 700k-1mil and serket.. well... something like 7mil last i checked(about 1-2 months ago)
And to think, had people not been whiney little complainers, and astrals in Oztroja, they'd still be 120k, maybe 200k from inflation, and this ring wouldn't have to exist! Well you get what you wish for.

I'm sorry. My hoovercraft is full of Summoners. As soon as I claim a thread, they just flood out and cover the whole place. Slippery suckers, those Summoners.
800k for 25 mp 4 mil for 30 mp and 8mil or more for 50 ..... for christs sake are people that insecure about their mp that they need to pay priced like this for these stupid worthless rings.
whats even worse is when you see tarus with full out conversion gear
The reason these will stay at a fairly high price is that the ENM you have to complete to get it is by far one of the hardest for a standard party to beat. 3x explosion sucks (mob is a cluster bomb). I beat this one 3 times (only 1 ether ring) and went with a 3 smn party. Not one death other then our pet's and pulled in some great profit.
its the lower level requirement on the astral that makes it the same price... if ether rings were the same level they would probably be 5x more expensive
It'll drop in price just give it time. As soon as a new item comes out it's always over-priced, then it gradually drops in price once all the rich-kids have bought them and no-one else can afford the high prices.
I have had personal experience with this over Durandal - started at 1.9mil, down to 900k on midgard (I bought one at 1.9mil, curse my impatience).
omg on Fairy these babies go for 4 million now, our astrals are nearing 1 million, and I dont think that the 5 MP should mean a towering price difference, but thats Fairy for you -.-
Maybe if there's enough of these floating around the price of astral rings will drop some. But it's kind of cool how they are making new versions of all the good gear to deter gil selling. Since gil sellers don't do BCNM, or ENM.
