Feelings on Salvage ls Funding upgrade costs

[Thorny]

You cannot lot a 35 bodypiece if you don't have half of it's cost in liquid gil/unnecessary items. Items you choose as unnecessary must really be unnecessary.. mahatma slops snow ring hauby+1 etc are all okay(since they're minimal increase hqs), hq staffs thalassocrat blau etc aren't. I think it's reasonable >_>

[Apessius]

You should try doing "The Ashu Talif" BC or some Attohwa Chasm enms for gil, can usually rack it up pretty fast that way.

I'm always trying to find ways to earn extra gil to help my salvage group fund their pieces. We've had great drop rates on certain 35s, to the point where nobody else needs them. I know there'll be some moral outcry about this, but I've been actively trying to find people to buy those pieces.

It's a mutually beneficial arrangement - people willing to pay millions of gil for something like Deimos' Cuirass are unwilling to invest the time into joining their own salvage linkshell (or waiting for it to drop), while my group has multiple 2/3 or 3/3 pieces just needing synthesis materials. I figure if I can help someone in my group finish a body or head piece in exchange for selling a 35 that nobody in the group wants, even as a freelot item, then the moral ramifications of selling salvage drops are canceled out.

Also, up until the recent announcement that alexandrite requirements will be adjusted, I've been pooling and selling alexandrite relatively easily. So far I've sold roughly 50, which give the linkshell roughly 400k. It's not a lot, but every bit helps.

We've been trying to set up ISNM groups but struggling to find a way to distribute drops - I don't want someone spending 200k IS and giving all the khroma to someone else. Sure, in a perfect world people would be willing to do this, but realistically, lots of enmity and anger would be created.

ZNM is a nice way to earn some decent money. If you have the right job a group of 12 can easily clear Cerberus path. One lucky pachipachio or Hahchiryu Haidate will help to complete salvage body upgrade. The main problem is most ppl will rather go afk in DA for 3 hours instead of taking some pictures to turn in for Zeni.

I didnt even want a body but Macha dropped when farming QQ's for Deimos's Cuirass and the member that wanted to make it wasnt on. I spent about a month in Mount Z mining and it only cost me about 1.4 mill to make, thats the woots ores and having Doomcrak craft them. im always poor as hell so if I can make one anyone can lol

I really miss mining in Mt. Z. When I previously quit I gave away a crafting mule I had with all crafts at 60. Mt. Z. mining is quite relaxing and enjoyable and profitable if you have +24% movement and can craft all the little crap you dig up.
