Yeah... But a satchel = ~350k if you buy gil. You can't even get 30 gobbiebag spaces for that much. So, if you haven't done any of the quests, you get +30+ inv for 350k when you think about it.

Wait for everyone to do their B.S.. then walk up to the AH and buy the items at a lower cost... FFXIAH " IF YOU DIDN'T BUY IT CHEAP... YOU PAID TOO MUCH!!!" <lol> I heard this lil ditty as a local car ad where I live.. looks like it suits its purpose here.. LMAO!


Yes price of current items needed for last 2 gobbie bag quest will increase but even when it will come back to normal price it will still cost a big bunch of gils. Angel skin prices will not be lower than pre-update price. I just hope some of the high $$$ item might be a one time quest... but I doubt it.

That is why all of you bought the satachel.. for how much it was, your prolly paying abou the same price if you trasacted the gil into real money so by buy the satchel, you are pretty much paying the same price in the long run....

Im not buying the satchel.. that is why I bought mules for.. I mean its not a bad thing.. but I'm good for space issues, I got everything maxxed out in all 3 carrying.. so I don't need more space.. ( just giving me more space means ill be a LOOT *** and a PACK RAT) Guys... sell the old stuff if your not using it, and you don't need to keep everything from the Auction House. Sell what your not using and let the AH do it's job. You'll save $$$ and you won't def' need that Mog satchel, IMO..


one small question, how many jobs you playing at once?

Well for myself it would piss me so off to mule everytime i want to lvl/merit on a job and my gear is in a mule... so snatchel > mules (not to mention, this costs you 10 bucks ONCE - a mule costs you 10 bucks in 10 month and you have to do all those damn logout - login - send - logout - login - take from DB - logout and so on)

<.<


Your entitled to your opinion, I give you that... but so am I...

SE takes aenough money outa me... I'm not their ***!! my mmoney goes to better things.. like ..um let me see here..." REAL LIFE".. last I checked.. Rent.., um my car.. food... the better things in life....

LMAO ><

You missed the point. Given the current dollar to gil conversion rate by RMT ($35 for 1mil), the $10 you spend to get that satchel (as well as the intangible security benefits) is "worth" ~285k in gil. Not bad for that many additional inventory slots.

Just like the Econmic crisis (the Recession).. that's currently going on atm in REAL LIFE.. Just have to wait it out or go with the flow.. like a surfer and wait for the right wave to come in on...

Yeah, but with your 3 mules that's an extra $3/mo. Cancel the mules and ya have a token AND a soda in 4 months. >.> Or.. Cancel 2 and you have it in 5 months for double bag space on TWO characters. :P

$10 isn't that much unless you're deep in poverty and can easily be saved up by skimping on certain 'luxuries' from a few days. Just comes down to how you spend your money and what you value I guess.

Think of it this way.

You pay $10 now for the token and the satchel for 70/75/80 (delete as applicable) extra inventory spaces permanently. This is a one time payment of $10 dollars. You say you make mules for holding storage, yet even one mule would cost you the price of a token within 10 months. More than one mule and that'd be five months, then two and a half, and so forth.

Whilst you think you're saving money, you're actually not.

I bought a token, I'm going to love my extra spaces and I'm going to delete all but my Clothcraft mule once my satchel is activated. The maths for me is equally as simple; pay £7.99 as a one off payment or pay £2.10 per month for my three mules.

It's really not hard, and opinions aside, people would be idiots if they'd rather pay for mules than this token.

Still a very, very small chance of getting one. Personally only gotten 6 out of well over 300 synths myself. Put it this way... The market won't be flooded by Smithers any time soon.

If anyone's going to make lots of money out of this, it'll be whoever has the best bot to claim Jormungand with.

If Oxblood Orb is 2x oxblood + 1 fire crystal

The most logical thing I can think of (coming from a semi-experienced Bonecrafter and Goldsmith) is Coral+Wind Crystal. That's how you make the Elemental Beads for LV74 rings and Elemental staves. Only seems logical to have the same method for orbs.


uber late, but oxblood x1 + wind crystal already is a synth, coral horn. Assuming the skin orb is the same... we're either looking at item x1 + fire crystal, or multiple items per, maybe that ahriman crystalball thing?

I hope so, because Angel Skin is already WAAAAAAY out of my budget, let alone the Orb one will be making with it >.<

As for the token, to each their own. I didn't get one yet either, because I'm waiting for all the bugs to get worked out by the early adopters. I'd rather wait and get it when the ***works 100% then deal with S-E customer support for 5 minutes...

Ive done up to Gobbag 8 and one thing seems to slip peoples mind so often. I can send myself 16 items to my MH so at any one time I can have 46 empty slots in my personal inventory. If thats not enough for synthing something I dont know what is? SE definitely went overboard this time. 220k for an orichalcum ingot isnt to bad but oxblood? SHEESH!!! They might as well have asked for AV to be killed 5 times in a row with no one in the alliance dying 1 time.

Well, first 2 sales of Angel Skin orbs on Bahamut are 3 mil. Molybdenum Ingot 1 mil, carious others 200-500k. I estimate prolly 5 to 6 mil for both upgrades on Bahamut right now.
