FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread XI: "How you liking that Beta Phase 5?"

[arshesney]

100 gil for each shard, you have to set a quantity (and you will only seek to purchase that quantity) because...

[Sephiroth]

I don't know, it's not very clear in-game. I'm worried about clicking to sell any to these people in case it is 100 gil for 100 shards.

[arshesney]

Don't worry, you have plenty of windows popping up asking for confirmation.

[Sephiroth]

I'm glad I tested it, because you're wrong.

For anyone reading this page, if you sell something to a bazaar, it is 100 shards for 100 gil and not 100 gil per shard.

I tested by buying 5 iron sands from a bazaar for 1750 and sold them to a bazaar for 1500, not 7500.

Seems people are trying to rip people off with the shards.

If I activate the local leve at the guild counter then log out, does it fail?

No.

I wish I knew what rank I can solo rank 20 guildleves on one star with CNJ and shitty gear.

Umm use the drop down box and set it to unit price, not set price.

[Ratatapa]

Is it me or you can have like 5-6 items in bazaar max on a retainer?

People need time to figure this out. Of course SE could do a lot better job explaining what they mean exactly by unit price and set price, because its not intuitive at all the way it is.

OK if you have 100 shards in bazaar and you put a price of 100 gil on set price. The buyer can only buy all 100 shards, (sorry not sure if it will be 100gil for all, or still 100 gil each, from the sound of his post it would be 100gil for all)

If you use unit price, they can purchase how many they want @100 gil each.

EDIT: not sure if this has been posted, but looks like the onion helm stops working @13.

You mean unit price.

Unit = 1, if you see unit price at 100 gil for a stack of 100 wind shards, that means you buy each for 100 gil.

Set = all, if you see set price at 100 gil for a stack of 100 wind shards, that means you buy all of them for 100 gil.

The same holds true when people seek items. If someone is seeking 100 shards for a set price of 100, that means they're buying all your shards for 100 gil.

It's indeed confusing and it's very easy to (accidentally) rip someone off. Some of the deals I've seen make me laugh so hard. People buying a set of 10 wind crystals for 100 gil. C'mon now.

I was messing around with my retainer last night and this is what I figured out.

Use set price to sell multiples of same item for a lump sum. (ex. set price for stack of 99, 100 gil each would be 9900 gil)

Use unit price to sell multiples of same item individually. (ex. unit price for stack of 99, 100 gil each, buyer can buy as many as they want for 100 gil each)

For some reason though when I was setting up my bazaar I had to click on the set price/unit price dropdown at least once to be able to click the accept button to sell at unit price, unnecessarily confusing UI here.

@Saroyan: u can't figure out the difference between "unit" and "set" without SE explaining to you?

They have more important shit to fix with the game than adding tutorials for dummies. Use your brain and figure the simple shit out on your own.

lol, I never said that I couldn't figure it out, go look through bazaars and you will see its obvious that most other people can't figure it out though.

lmao yeah lol i had a typo..... fixed

[CasualPlayer]

Yah but why should it be SE's prob that ppl can't use common sense is my point. Retainer/Bazaar system is fine other than no search function. But then if there was a search function added that would be an AH so....

Specifically, market wards will be organized according to specific item types, making it easier to consolidate similar items in the same area. Further, if an item sold within a ward corresponds to that wards’ item type, the tax incurred will be reduced. Items not of that ward’s category may still be sold, but the tax imposed will remain the same as it has up until now.

For example, we are currently looking into options that will provide players with precise information as to which items are located in which market areas, or the ability to seek out specific items without the need for speaking to retainers, and more.

At least they're trying.

This reminds of WoW after they changed the Auction House to allow you to sell items in multiple stacks. If you didn't change the price type to "per item" or "per stack", you'd have some wacky ass prices like a stack of saronite ore that normally went for 20g a stack would be 400g etc.

[Sephiroth]

I'm talking about selling TO a bazaar, not from a bazaar. You'll notice the word "seeking" when you view their bazaar.
