I just wish I could remember when I logged out. gonna be a mad rush to hit the jeuno AH and try and grab one of the dozen O. ingots.

Considering the latency and distance, if you aren't living in or near Japan, you won't be able to beat the rushing JP to it, lol.

Superior technology and all that.

But seriously, fuck lol there aren't even any on AH.....

Only 3 of the items are on Cerb AH and most are only a couple in stock. I AM FUCKED.

2 more hours someone please figure out how to mine these new DAT formats

At first glance gobbie bags 9 and 10 seem brutal, but on second thought if you try to anticipate SE they don't seem that bad after all:

-Oil-soaked cloth: simple CC recipe, nothing special;
-Oxblood and Angel Skin orbs: probably WOTG quests (Sando quests gave Death/Angel stones), I seriously doubt SE would force people to use Angel Skins... (not saying it couldn't be crafted with those of course);
-O. Ingot: 100% drop rate from a KS30 BC;
-Peiste Skin: low drop rate from Peistes but possible drop from Pashhow_S ANNM?
-Molybdenum Ingot: lolJorm, desynth from Heavy Quadav chestplates (high drop rate in my experience), possible reward from WOTG quests (Bastok quests had Adaman Ingot as reward);
-Griffon Hide: this one sucks, Dynamis only. Expect a big jump in price in a similar way to the one wootz ores had...
-Foulard: requires Arachne Web, but I don't see SE not adding more means of obtaining it. Gustaberg_S ANNM might be a spider (mobs' names don't tell me anything though), possible drop from it?

The Gobbiebag Part IX
Client: Bluffnix (Muckvix's
Junk Shop, Lower Jeuno)
Summary:
Bluffnix will make your pack even
bigger if you bring him the
following: an orichalcum ingot, a
square of peiste leather, a square
of oil-soaked cloth, and an
oxblood orb.

The Gobbiebag Part X
Client: Bluffnix (Muckvix's
Junk Shop, Lower Jeuno)
Summary:
Bluffnix will make your pack even
bigger if you bring him the
following: a molybdenum ingot, a
square of griffon leather, a square of
foulard, and an angel skin orb.

The last one is gonna suck ass hardcore. Moly ingot needs a drop from either Jormy or "wyrmking decends" bcnm. and Foulard needs a drop from Arachne. Expect the price of this to get super jacked and prolly stay there for quite some time.

Most likely Bonecraft synthesis.

-Griffon Hide: this one sucks, Dynamis only. Expect a big jump in price in a similar way to the one wootz ores had...

Probably not as severe since only one is needed per character.

-Foulard: requires Arachne Web, but I don't see SE not adding more means of obtaining it. Gustaberg_S ANNM might be a spider (mobs' names don't tell me anything though), possible drop from it?

That North Gustaberg (S) NM is a pixie.

-Molybdenum Ingot: lolJorm, desynth from Heavy Quadav chestplates (high drop rate in my experience), possible reward from WOTG quests (Bastok quests had Adaman Ingot as reward);

It should be noted that this desynth is level 94 and it needs to be HQ3'd for it. It will still be rare enough for a while and I expect this ingot to top 2-300k at least if not more simply for its rarety. Not sure if crafter will pay too much for the chestplates tho. Im a blacksmith and I know I dont feel like paying 50k for it, as the odds of making the ingot is too slim for that price.

I also expect a massive slaughter of quadavs following the update

Wow foulard, i have over 30 in a mule since i skilled on those, time to make some cash.!

I'm sure a few people who hope to make a major profit will hate me for this, but... you can get Molybdenum Ingots from desynthing Heavy Quadav Chestplates, can't you? You need high smithing skill, of course... but I think I'd have a much easier time finding a few friends to farm chestplates and hitting up another friend to attempt desynths (especially if I offer her one of the ingots free) than trying to get a Cloud Evoker or take down Jormy.

EDIT: Wow, this looks stupid now that it's in the thread where everyone already mentioned it.

HQ rates on desynths are fairly volatile, aren't they? Saying that it's skill level 94 doesn't mean HQs will be super rare.

They'll never know what hit them ._.

[avelle]

I cannot believe they are using an ingot sought after for Salvage Head Pieces as an item for gobbiebag upgrade. The stupidity is just astounding.

[Knyghtmayre]

Kinda lame, now all these Dark Ixion horns remain worthless.

[Therin]

Dunno about you guys, but I'm planning on killing some Jorm.

[Funkworkz]

i really wish one of the items for gobbybag was a dark ixion horn. we have two mules completly full. they're deactivated waiting for a day to see the sun again lol

edit:bad grammar is bad

Did SE just dump sand in your vag or something? lol. There's many other people playing this game that aren't after Salvage gear you know.

[Callisto]

If you're paying for O.Ingots instead of doing RR for Salvage head you're doing it wrong anyways.
