Sole sushiFollow

Just because I am growing to hate almost everything about the AH.. I am offering my services. I know that no one will probably ask, but I am willing to synth sole sushi at cost for anyone that brings me all the ingredients, including the crystal. I would rather they be there with me, because I don't want anyone to think it is a scam or anything.

[/b]Sole sushi[/b]- Tarutaru Rice, Rice Vinegar, Black Sole, Distilled Water, Ground Wasabi

This is why I stay in game....good and unselfish ppl...My LS is full of these ppl so I count that as a blessing, but it is nice to see, hear, and recieve help from ppl who want to help for no reason that just that. To you JadenNyte..*** slap and good game to you!

You may want to talk to Zariko in game as well. I believe he is thinking along the same lines and going to try to farm and craft to circumvent the AH. Maybe you two can work together.

Good idea. I will also volunteer my cooking services. Nice idea Jaden.
90+1 Cooking
Raw Fish Handling, Noodle Neading, Stewpot Mastery, Patissier

I think anyone who is willing to help in this manner totally rox. Jaden and Gamion have both helped me on many occasions whether it was an NM hunt or my ZM's. I can speak to their selflessness and how impressed I am with them.

I can make Kaginiwa for any NIN's that need it.

Earth: Manticore Hair, grass thread, bronze ingot = 33 Kaginiwa

I can offer a basic cooking service to mages levelling in the dunes or below. Message me your name and you will recieve 3 hours worth of Apple Pies for free. Down with the AH!

there is still some good in this game.

Wow, I had just recently something extremely similar to this on my LS forums.

Let me get my fishing done.

Without fishing/crafting bots and low lvl fisherman being able to catch sole (thanks SE), your sole sushi prices would be even higher. Sole sushi is a VERY nice food which SHOULD be prohibitively expensive to many players. Everyone can't have the best, but I guess that's not the attitude in the game. People want to start out with 99,999,999 gil and all items, and make sure there is no danger anywhere (MPK patch all right). Lame. Thanks for trying to lower the price of an item that should be worth alot more.

Finally! Someone who's talking about VALUE, not price. People have no understanding that 32k -> 80k for sole sushi is barely a difference at all, because anymore it's just as easy to make 80k as it used to be to make 32k... Just because 80k is a bigger than 32k, they just go 'omgwtfWRONG'.

Is Sole Sushi a bargain at 80k? That's a good question, but it's purely academic. Though I do appreciate someone alluding to value, it's largely nonsensical to say an item "should" cost more. Items are priced based on supply and demand. Obviously not enough people were willing to pay 100k per stack, a backlog of 100k sushi built up and it was taking forever to sell, so the price went down as people undercut each other to stay in business. What ought sole sushi to cost? Whatever people will consistently pay, that's what. You should not complain when things are made a bargain- if you think that 80k is a bargain price, that is POSITIVE. It means more people can do better in parties with... YOU! If everyone had the best food and gear YOU WOULD NOT SUFFER. All of your parties would be better and the game would be a lot more fun... Therefore, if party enhancing items like sole sushi go down in price, you should be cheering, not spewing your elitist bile on us.

Edit: And then I read your sig and see that you have fishing at 95. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! That's hilarious, thank you. ^.^ And... then, scarily, your hint at how fishbots are a good thing appears in a not-so-positive light. I wonder how you'd like a GM investigation for botting...?

pfft the game has been out forever, the days where anyone who had highlevel fishing had to be a bot due to how long it took are long gone.

With the new system I got fishing 0-30 in 2 1/2 days, fishing is just easier now, I was fishing up Bluetails and Noble Ladies like nothing in the 20s and hell those cap in the 80s if I remember correctly.

Things are just easier w/ fishing.

Either fishing 0-30 in 2 days is a lie, an exaggeration, or every fishing guide I have ever read is RETARDED!

Off-topic, can I actually just go target black sole and skill up ultra fast, instead of what I've been trying to do which is catch fish of my level? Everything I've seen points to NO GODDAMN WAY. Even on fish that are somewhat above my cap, I have to fight for my life; every high fisher seems to agree that it's simply impractical to catch fish above cap 50 without a Lu Shang's. Hell, I have fishing 36 and gave up skilling on black eels until I got a Lu Shang's because they were just such a headache. Is there something I don't know here?

Rielist, I apologize for the veiled accusation about botting. You just worded your post in a way that made me wonder; precise wording does pay off since people are less likely to misunderstand you like that :P My long laughing thing is appreciating the amusing irony of a seasoned fisher believing that prices should be higher on his goods.

But it isn't just Alla that believes a fisherman arguing for higher fish prices is invalid (or less valid), it's the rules of rhetoric in general. When a fisherman argues that his fish should sell for higher because of, say, how awesome those fish are, he has what is known as a vested interest. Vested means hidden- you have a true purpose for wanting fish to raise in price, one that you are not calling attention to because that fact would weaken your overall point. The real point you're making when you, a fisherman, say that fish should cost more, is that you want more money, so your objectivity and thus your credibility are thereby seriously compromised, if not destroyed. If a man stands to benefit greatly (at my expense) if I follow his reasoning, then I should be suspcious; maybe he's not telling me the whole story, because he is definitely invested in the situation. An objective observer who will neither gain nor lose from any path I take (ie a non-fisherman in this case) can make a much more trustworthy argument about what fish prices should be; it's much more sensible to listen to him since he has no interest in the situation other than, ostensibly, separating truth from falsehood and discovering the proper course of action.

So. There you go. And please tell me about the magic 2-day skillup thing, pm me if you want ;_;
