What Would You Pay For A JP?

What would people pay for 1 job point?

Some people don't love the mindless grind, and some people like to get paid. I'm curious what everyone thinks a fair price would be for a JP.

That has BAN written all over it !!!

People have paid for Merc services since this game has existed, I'm just curious what would be reasonable lol

I would pay nothing.

Offer large amounts of JP and watch the interest jump.

If it was in Escha you could also get silt o_O

100 JP's + silt for augments, and vorseals? = ???

10,000 Gil per JP.

i would pay 1 M for a jp player to make my JP capped!

Someone on my server offered 200k per JP.

A few legitimate players, as well as RMT made bank by powerleveling afk people to 99 and SE left them alone. The key, if there is a key, is to stay out of other people's way so that you're not getting gm's called on you, but I doubt it even matters. RMT during abyssea had become almost friendly with players, offering deals for repeat customers.

There were also plenty of cases of worm parties of charging people to afk and a few cases of people charging lowbies to key lol.

Rather than trying to price per jp, you need to evaluate how many JP you/your boxes can earn in an hour for someone who isn't jp capped and assume nq aptitude mantle. Then consider what that hour is worth to you and charge based on that. Once you have an average, you price per hour, I'd say, with a guarantee that the person will earn X JP.

As someone else said though, if this is something you're doing in Escha, silt/vorseals/sparks/accolades are all a side-benefit to the customer.

Honestly that isn't a bad deal if you play certain jobs it is damn near impossible to get in apex parties.

I thought this was going to be a thread about buying a Japanese :/

I'd pay tree fifty for a Japanese woman !

I would pay the same amount for a Japanese woman as I would for a Klondike Bar.

Good point. Ppls job point accumulation could vary greatly based on what ki's and equipment they have or dont have.

As someone thats currently not active because im getting rdy to move again, but still wants to get certain thing done before the end of march, this service could come in handy. (as well as some ru-ann t1-t2 clears so i can pop mobs for abj's)

more gil then id like to spend tbh. But i could see doing that if it were in escha where i would be gaining slit as well.

10,000 gil per JP would be a steal of a price.

I wouldn't go much higher than that. 20k or so if I really wanted some JP and couldn't get it any other way.

Assuming Campaign, and starting with 0 JP, Apex Crab, 3m/hr is what I'd expect a leech to acquire.
That maths out to exactly 100JP/hr.
At 10k each, that's only 1M gil per hour or 200k per person.
So... Not worth the time, unless you actually need the JP yourself, but if you need JP yourself, I'd rather get a real 6th and increase my CP/HR by nearly double than make 200k, but that's just me.

I've exceed 5M/hr with 5 people once you're about halfway capped which would be 160JP/Hr, 1.6M or 333k per person.
For me to consider it worth my time, I would need to get at least 20k per JP, or simply shout to sell 100JPs for 2M. I'd probably still want more, because if you can offer 100JP in 1 hour, the draw increases exponentially, because of how much quicker you could potentially cap a job.

Just my .02 as someone who has considered selling them in the past.

I wouldnt sell for less than 10mil/hr.

Speaking of wasting time who wants to kill apex crabs with me for 8 hours !

Honestly when it comes down to it isn't FFXI just a waste of time to begin with ?

and youd probably be playing alone'

i would assume the person offering this to be doing it solo. Easier to get one person for a designated time/amount then 5. Even back in the early FC pts, there were plenty of wars that couldnt even get a second player rdm to go with them. (When that was needed for the buffs.)

Just do like most people did to the RMT: Overcamp them until they are forced to invite you, move, or leave. Lolz.

It's fairly simple to find a healer and 2Blm. The only difficult task would be finding a Geo. And by offering them 200k/hr I assume it would hasten the shouting process. If you really want to be greedy, you could just split it 50/50 with the Geo if you have a friend.

All you'd need is two- a self-chainer (SCH, SAM, BLU) and a BLM.

Anything else can be done by trusts, and crabs melt to mages.

In my experience even doing 1 SC per pull will have SCH slowing down kill speed by a lot, even with 550 gift unless you're twiddling your thumbs a bit between pulls. I'm also pretty sure most people drag a COR along for COR roll when reporting their numbers, at least from what I see in shouts, so the drop off is pretty significant. I tend to lose about 1-1.5m per hour solo when I don't have the extra COR available to me, and with rings wearing off so easily you can't depend on trusts to even use an NQ roll.

Personally I'd avoid Apex entirely and just do BLM things in Reisen/Adoulin Gates. Should easily have better/equal success than a majority of pick-up CP groups and would allow you to consolidate the gil without crippling the time it takes you to deliver the finished product.

i'd pay probably 30k per jp

Just make it a sliding price, Use of rings and cape + how ever many +% you get from quest/missions vs having none. Slower the Jp the more they cost to get start with 50k per 1, lower as they speed up. So with rings back and max %+ bonus 30k or less would be ideal unless you are a grinder and want 100~500 per session, then bulk deal the price. can see a min of 20 an hour, and not capped but near 100+ an hour in apex with viable cor rolls ring cape etc for a leech spot.

Iv heard about these a bit. What/where are they, and do those pts work. Since iv been away i havnt rly done any JP farming.

30k sounds reasonable. Would be nice to go do RL while you get JPs!
