Buy raw materials from vendor

isnt that a classic EVE scam?

I think it works on most games with a central market unless they make it not worth your time with taxes or something.

>buy raw materials from vendor
for 20x price
>craft them into something
item of great quality
>Sell it to the vendor
you get less money than the vendor selling same item of poor quality

The dumb thing is the game doesn't take into account labor or that you don't have to survive with food, water, taxes. It's like basically being an isekai cheat hero.

>have to use rare materials not available from vendors in crafting
>said resources cost more than the item that was crafted.

>rare material costs multiple hours of real life grinding to get
>value isn't worth even a bit close to the same as a minimum wage would in a basic first world country

How does this work? It's not instant.

>buy up commonly traded item at auction house
>sell it for much more than it's worth

People see the huge sell put up and just dump it into the buy order so they don't have to wait and the fact they'll probably see that buy order getting smaller and smaller and fear of it going lower kicks in.

>sell stacks of 20s on the auction house
>slip a few singles into there at the same price

You should at least do stacks of 2

who?

That's how it works in real life too. Cost of labor and knowledge is underrated.

FFIX had this with the Wrists and Cotton Robes. You made a marginal profit, but a profit nonetheless.

Can you explain how this works? I've never played a game with a central market before

And that's how neo-collonialism works, pay up whitey.

>not high alching them to maximize xp while transcending the entire supply and demand system for your finished item and then putting that money back into materials creating a functioning economy in the process

*regulates your player driven economy and forces all crafted items to be worth less than its raw materials, or exactly equal at best, under the assumption that exp is always worth more than the item itself*

nothing personal, skillers

Literally killed soul but at the same time made me realize how much I hate haggling with present people.

>made me realize how much I hate haggling with present people

Genuinely this. Haggling online even 10 years ago was a different game. Now there's so many retarded factory workers and kids that there is no negotiation.

Is that how I get rich in ff14

>Game lets you buy raw materials from vendor
>Craft them into something
>Sell it to vendor for more than the cost of the materials
>Price of finished product goes down because supply and demand
