I can't believe that shit is 1.5m now. I remember it being a crap drop about three months ago in BCNM30s, and now it's worth the same as a damascus ingot drop? Yay for gilsellers inflating prices :P

it's not that hard to explain ... bcnm30 Pot was one of the easiest BCNM for chance of the most profitable battle before the update with the new BCNM 30

Now everyone is spending their seal on the new one and b/c of that you dont see a lot of Raise III lately and so the price raised up...

If a WHM ever came on a Dynamis raid of mine and said they didnt want to by R3 cause it wasnt even benificial for them.....


Thats not the right way to think in this game.

I bought raise III for 20k because Hung kept getting owned on the zilart missions

*edit* I had to borrow the cash till my behim. knife sold =D>

:lol:

Just amazing how the prices have went up since i left. I wass bummin around killingifrit and ran into this

http://killingifrit.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=27029

crazy.... just crazy.

If anyone wants to know how eq2 is goin its ok. My guild is working hard to become better but everything in that game is broken... still. We try to raid but all the zones are messed up somehow. All the healers get pwned in groups since almost all the tanks cant hold hate. There isnt much grinding either mid lvl. Right now its like fighting in garlaige. No camps and lotta deaths. Nice thing is if i log for the night my debt goes away. I also figured out the selling market and make tons of cash =)

Let me restate or reemphasize what I was trying to say earlier. I do plan to get R3 when I can use it. It just will not be cost efficient to buy the spell anymore. I never said the spell was not worth getting. I simply said that comparing the cost of the spell on the AH vs. the potential benefit, at least what I assume it will be in my ignorance, that I would not be buying it. I was just a little frustrated that 1) it went up so dang fast, and so close to the point I was thinking about getting it and 2) I can't take the lazy way out and buy it, now I have to organize a BCNM :) Let me also point out that anyone who knows me, knows that I am a whm both in job and personality, and I always try to help people out. I can understand Ketrebu's point of view that this has become a much rarer drop gotten because everyone wants to do the claw BC, and the supply has greatly dropped. I was just voicing my frustration, nothing more.

Why don't you just do the old BCNM30 for it?

Yeah, the price of raise 3 sucks. I started watching the price around lvl 65 when it was only 150k. I thought 'Ok, I can do that.' And as I started saving gil, it kept getting higher and higher. At one point it jumped like 300k in a day. Some people may think it anal, but I don't like to hit levels and not have my scrolls ready. I'm seriously thinking starting a new job because I know I'll never be able to afford the 1.7 mil price tag. I'm gonna try the bcnm but even then it's not a guaranteed drop and kindred seals take along time to get. :( :( :(

Each class has their own set of problems. I can remember when I first started leveling ranger. I was forced into leveling for a week and farming for two just to support the cost of equipment and ammunition. I took up woodcrafting at a low level. I would craft far enough to make my own ammunition so I didn't have to pay the AH prices. When I subbed Ninja it became even more expensive. I am now a 75 Rng/Nin and take great pride in getting there by that method. I know that everything I have, I earned. I didn't buy gil to get it, I didn't bot, I worked everystep of the way.

I commend Aalan for helping his friends. To me that's what this game is about. The gil comes and goes - but someone that you've met in-game and has become a friend can stay with you even when the game dies.

I also go to the LS events because I believe that anything that drops and helps one member in our linkshell helps us all. Whether it's for me or someone else doesn't matter. I can sit at my computer, and imagine the smile that spreads across the face of the person who gets that dream item. That's enough for me.

If you happen to get a second R3 scroll in a few month and the price hasn't changed, would you place it at 100k on the AH or current market price?

It's totaly true thou. Every job has their problems. From not being able to get a xp pt b/c that job isn't in a perfect pt set up or the costs of equipment alone.

Ya know, thats as bad as a BLM or DRK saying they wont tractor you when you die in the middle of Kuftal tunnel to Guivre, because you didnt help them get their haubergeon or other expensive equip/scroll for cheap. Its petty and childish, if you are going to complain about it, bitch at SE for adding new BC that dont drop R3, making it more rare, and driving price up, the same would happen with anything else in the same scenario, dont blame the seller because they just put it on AH at the going rate. I'm sure you'd cry alot more if you couldnt get an invite past 67 because you dont have a Healing Staff or Nobles Tunic, because that would eliminate almost all WHM right there, and those are some of the "Best" equip you can get. Play a melee job, and try to get a party without your Haubergeon, snipers, etc. It doesnt happen.

the only thing i really disaggree with here is that people are NOT putting it up at the AH for the going rate..i looked yesterday. The price is steadily being driven up and up and up, 100-200k more each sale. I guess they weren't happy with getting 1mil more than they used to, they want 1.5 mil more :?

oh well, ive got my own financial problems with my equipment lol, so ill stay away from the whm department

It was a joke ;p


Personally Ill sell it at AH For how ever much I want. If I could sell it for 5 mill you can damn well bet I would. Theres nothing in this game I really want anymore anyway.

WHM is such a cheap job, to cry a bout a single spell is stupid. Melee have it hard and BLM spells add up alot.

That's true you can get by with very little money but I still spent about 4 to 5 millions for gears and instruments I prolly don't even need just to rub it in Kaylia's and Gades's faces.

Btw Kay did you see my new shoes? :lol:

And Moose If you wanna camp Adamant or do that BCNM someday Ill join you and try to drag Narius and Gades along.
