I'm trying to figure out how to manipulate the economy.

I decided to level miner first, leveling it primarily over my DoW class, but I seem to have hit some bumps in the road.

The "hot" mining points that I've encountered are Iron Ore, Alumen, Silver Ore, Bomb Ash, and now Mythril Ore.

What I had banked on was that DoF classes would be rightfully boring to play as, and so that DoH classes would desperately need materials, which was why I would rush DoF.

Unfortunately, I miscalculated the intelligence (and perhaps, the log in times) of the community. Materials are being priced very strangely and Mythril Ore isn't paying off compared to Bomb Ash and Silver Ore. Furthermore, the worth of HQ materials isn't particularly set; they aren't being as valued as they should be. Crafters selling gear on the Market Board aren't pricing it intelligently, often times pricing them way more than what you can get from a vendor. And lastly, Gil seems really cheap. People doing quests and FATE grinding probably earn more than a DoF selling to the market.

I am considering hoarding mats, and buying cheaply priced mats and then turning around and selling them for more. Some people are trying to undercut and I feel like I can turn it around by getting the undercut stuff and just pricing it high. I'm still thinking about what would be the better way. I do think that Mythril Ore will upswing on my server pretty soon, and that there just aren't enough smiths at the level to use it right now.

Behemoth fate and Odin fate are far worse, you can't see the mob unless you are melee, and even then it's iffy.



You want to push one craft as hard as possible, if you are the only one or two person who can make the highest tier of gear, you will make ridiculous amount of money. Same with gathering, they only worth money if you can get what others can't. Also since leveling is pretty fast, and quest reward many equipment, there isn't any much demand until much higher level (people can easily get away with not buying a single piece of gear until 50). If you are not at the top you are better off focus on what has a very high consumption rate (craft grinding material for example).

I'm kinda in progress of doing the same thing in Diablos server. I'm up to level 28 mining/26 goldsmith and currently own the market on siltstone wheystones. Prices get to the point of being profitable on my server around level 20-25 items. I just check the market after checking out different mining areas and mine 2-3 different things in mass that are selling for the most.

I don't know if the grinding money is better that market selling yet, the market seems pretty barren to me and I've made at least 50k in the last 2 days...far more than my questing/FATE grinding on my BLM.

I may have to reevaluate what I just said. According to a post on reddit, there aren't many gil fountains in end game(things that create gil in the world), so incoming deflation could be a problem and things could actually be massively overpriced right now. This could be something I have to monitor closely. This may be why top end crafting mats are cheaper, because they just can't *afford* it whereas all the idiots are blowing their money on the low level mats like iron ore.

Questing can earn you a lot of money, but it's finite. And the money comes from getting Allagash pieces as your reward.

Right now I'm sitting pretty at over 100k, most of it earned from selling Alumen, Silver Ore, and Bomb Ash.

Gonna consider trying to corner the market on certain mats in the next few days...
(I find this way more fascinating than the combat, lol.)
