Buying Black Belt items advice

2-3M does really worth a damn of turtle egg if you happened to camp everyday and get nothing like my friend did.

Luck of the draw. I've seen back-to-back Egg drops off NQ Turtle. 2M-3M isn't worth it.

If you end up paying for the items, never ever ever ever fucking ever agree to more than 1M per item. Paying over 1M isn't worth it and shells that sell for 2M and 3M per item need to be castrated.

more people need egg than tongue/beard because of ks99, supply and demand means people will pay 2-3m so i don't see the problem

besides, that puts black belt at 6-9m for 4% haste 2 str 5 subtle blow 5% phys damage taken.. compare to speed belt's ~20m for 2% haste -3 acc +5 attack so it's also a good deal from a gear increase standpoint

We've sold a Tongue for 5M.

I'm like 0/20+ on killing the NQ turtle and nothing of note dropping.

except one if for one job vs other is for 15 jobs and is a lot more rare, so thus price is warrant. Seriously anyone paying that much is ripping themselves off, and it just shows how dam greedy HNMLSs get theses days, because it's either price gouged, or they let go to ground, this is almost griefing tactics[not quite there is 99KSNM technically].

And wtf at 5m tongue must have been someone really desperate and that's really easiest one to get.

Happens all the time on Hades, UAE offer 40M for A Body, Ex can sell Ebodies for 50/55M to JPs easy.

We've sold a Tongue for 5M.

We've sold m.feet for 3.2M. I have witnesses.

On topic, BB items were like 3M-free depending on offers. If no one wanted it, and we had no buyer, we'd let anyone take it. Unless we didn't like them.

Hanging out at camps is the best way, if you know people in shells that really helps. Never seen my shell give out items for free, gotta get something for a Day7 NQ behe >.> The Egg is the hardest to get I'd say, as it seems fewer people camp that dumb turtle each week, but getting ToD and sharing it w/hnmls ppl will help you out.

[Gadritan]

Yeah. Some LSs will hook you up if you track ToD for them on NQ onry days. Saves someone/somemule the trouble of sitting in a zone for hours.

link?

I misspoke, I was thinking of http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/ffxi-...emoth-duo.html - but yeah, not as hard as people are making it out to be to do it with slightly more if you have an IQ higher than my leather belt

Waku, just randomly check the areas where kings pop when you're logged on. Some times I check my friend list and if people are in Aery, Dominion, or VoS, I know for the most part they're camping/fighting kings.

Obviously if there are at least a handful of people in an area where a king is a) going to spawn, b) is spawned and is being fought or c) has just died. I managed to get a few ToDs this way being off of the actual ToD window by 10 minutes or less. Also, since our server is one of the least populated, some will kill the NQ and have the ToD and not come back the next day for another shot at it. I know this past weekend, KB popped and once he's finished, most HNM LSes won't come back till the day when HQ has a chance to pop again. So that's at least 4 good chances of getting the tongue off of the NQ behemoth iirc. Apoth was able to get some NQs ones this way with very limited competition (a few times non at all) and we had ToD of adamantoise for roughly two weeks as HNM LSes only really care for Aspidochelone.

Why you're LS-less I don't know and that's really your business. I don't know for sure, but last I heard LE (LatentEffect) was accepting apps and they do pretty consistent runs of KS99s. It's how I got my beard thanks to Mattthemaster and Makod. LE ended up getting 2 beards out of 5 runs. So before being one of those newbs that's always /sh Can I haz BB item prz halp!!11!!1 QQ in king pop areas, try to get some info on ToDs.

Good luck.

wow at charging 5mill, were 1 of the shells that usually give it away if no 1 needs =/

we do give away bb items regardless even if someone in our shells needs it, if they claim a HQ(if theres like 90 in the zone 70% of it being competition) free claim w/ dring/dalmy/ebody for a egg is worth the trade.

or have them come out to ks99 runs and help for a chance at bb items, when people suddenly have to leave after the 7th run <_<;

[Gadritan]

when people suddenly have to leave after the 7th run <_<;

Hahahahaha. So true.
