Farm-Aid - Crafter's Supply HelpFollow

I don't know if this has been done before but here goes.

I would like to start a resource for crafters, because farming really sucks and materials can be pricy. So this is my proposal:

1. Post your name and item(s) you are looking for or tryin to unload.
2. Check the items that other people need to farm, mine, harvest, etc.
3. Leave a msg for them here or contact them in game to arrange a time where you can get together for some duo farming or even just to do a trade.

The idea being that if Player A needs sheep teeth for Bonecraft and Player B needs Skeepskins for Leatherwotking, then both players head off to Konschtat and farm together pooling their drops and each player just lots on the items they need. This should speed up farming quite a bit. I did this awile ago with someone I'd never met before. He was camping Mary so we teamed up to farm while waitin for the pop. (I already nailed Mary, and yup I got the horn, so I promised him the drop even if i got the claim). Worked out pretty good for both of us.

If this sounds good to you, post here and I'll try to keep a list of players and their requirements here at the top.

Thanks,

Vana'diel Farming Society

I love this idea, rate up for you ^^

Personally I need magic pot shards. Now these are very profitable even if you aren't an alchemist, so I would be willing to split whatever we get 50/50. Sadly the results (cermet chunks) don't sell for as much as what it takes to get the full stack.

12 cermet chunks = 50k gil

12 magic pot shards = 13k gil

Cermet Chunk = Fire + Magic Pot Shard x 4

Total cost of 12 cermet chunks is 55000 counting fire crystals, and a 5k loss is unacceptable for me right now (damn Raise II *shakes fist*)

Anyone who wants to help me farm these would be appreciated, the easiest are found in Delkfutt's Tower.

I need beetle jaws. I feel like I've been living in Carpenter's Landing for the last two weeks, and my bonecraft is only 24!!! And I still need them for the next level of bonecrafting. It's just not fair. They're up to 15k now and they're such a rare drop that I can't go 50/50 on them, but anyone who wants to come with me can take anything else, including black tiger fangs.

Ooh also, I just thought of this - if anyone else is pulling up moat carp towards a lu shang's, I would love to have a fishing buddy!

I don't really need much for supplies since in most cases, logging hasn't been super overrun with gilfarmers, but, I'm more then willing to go out with a buddy to break the tedium of farming.


Edit:
Taken up fishing to pass time, as a result, I have a ton of fish that I just sell for little to no real money, if you want to take them off my hands let me know. Except the moat carp, those are mine...

I'm THF40 right now, hoping to have THF45 (and thus TH2) by the end of the week (IE - Sunday). If you'd like a THF companion to go along to boost your drop rate, send me a /tell and we can work something out with regards to which drops go to whom. Just make sure it's an area I can survive in. ;)

Due to static party thingies, I'm getting held back on TH2 until after Thanksgiving. I don't usually run /anon though, so if you're interested, /sea me or send me a /tell.

This is an excellent idea, though regrettably I don't have anything to contribute at the moment.

Nevertheless...

Props. Done.

Rate ups. Done.

Love bump. (O.O) Done.

Nextel... ack!

/cry I need sleep!

I'm doing a lot of harvesting on Kublakhan, my Taru character, and am getting a LOT of marjoram. This is a pretty common product, and I usually toss it, but if someone can use it please let me know.

Marjoram can be crafted into Dried Marjoram (Dark crystal + 4x Fresh Marjoram). This will raise Cooking as well as Alchemy. I'm able to do it at lvl 38 cooking, and skill up at lvl 1 alchemy.
Dried marjoram is useful for starting out in cooking, as it's used in Grilled Hare, an entry-level recipe.

Dark crystals are a little steep so I don't generally do this, but if anyone can use the fresh marjoram I'll send it to you for free. If you want to send Kublakhan dark crystals, I'll dry the marjoram for you and send it out; each synth produces 8 to 9 pinches of dried marjoram.

No idea Garan, I haven't been in-game in almost two weeks. >< Once my house is clean today I'll finally have a chance to check. Thanks in advance though, to you and everyone else who's sent me jaws - you have no idea how grateful I am, unless you've leveled bonecraft, and then you probably know pretty damn well.

I can provide Iron Ore fairly consistantly.

500 gil each.

If you don't toss Zinc, I would be willing to buy them off you, what would be a fair price? I can't stomach paying 400-500 each at auction, I used to sell mine for 250 a pop in my bazaar :)

Sadly I'm not on every night and I don't want to take up your delivery box, so if you see me on send me a tell and I'll come take any from you if I have the cash and can get away.

On that note, if anyone needs bullets let me know ^^
#20 Nov 29 2004 at 2:41 PM Rating: Good
Sure, I can hook you up Zinc @ 250.

Catch you tonight perhaps. I'll be on Freedomfries.

Probably not tonight >.<

Tuesdays and Friday's are my static nights but I can meet you before we start if you're on either one of those.
#22 Nov 29 2004 at 2:54 PM Rating: Good
I work Tuesday and Friday nights. When does your static usually start?

If we can't work out a meeting time I can mail them just fine. I have 4 mules and two other characters to work with. ^^
#23 Nov 29 2004 at 3:06 PM Rating: Good
Static starts 7pm Central.

If you don't mind mailing them I would be willing to buy 16 a week, I can pick up on Tuesdays and Fridays and would send cash for the 8 on that day.

I just need a reliable source for them so I can turn them into brass ingots.
#24 Nov 29 2004 at 3:46 PM Rating: Good
16 per week in two drops sounds like a plan. Let me know if/when you need more or are done with them, and I'll let you know if for some reason I'm going to miss a drop.

This has fallen down quite aways, and in light of a current topic, It's time it was resurrected.

Crafters and Farmers unite!

Craftersyou are paying too much for materials.

Farmersyou can help cut down on the inflation and probably find a crafter or two willing to supply you with the goods you require.

Help each other, people!!

I'll keep the list updated if y'all keep me informed of your needs, or what you farm and would like to unload.
