Hi all,
Young Leathercrafter here. I would just like to note the incredible possiblity of
mucho profit on the Ifrit server. There seems to be a shortage of sheepskin on this server particular at the guild in San'doria. I have spent almost 1 week waiting everyday and sometimes have the guild still be sold out. So I checked the auction house and the price is pretty norm, 800 gil - 1k. But when I checked sheep leather (Dark+Windhurst Tea Leaves+Distilled Water+Sheepskin), it's about 33,000 per stack! This obviously is an influx due to the shortage. I've noticed more and more PC's showing up but walking away disappointed at the guild. My mule is struggling to be in stock too.
So if you purchase Windhurst Tea Leaves from Regional Merchant Baehu-Faehu (G-5) Windhurst Waters, a stack runs you about 216 gil. Distilled Water you can obtain from the guild. Last time I checked it was around 120 gil/stack. Plus you are going to need sheepskin, which you could farm about 7 stacks from sheep in E and W Ronfaure in 4 hrs. It's not worth tryin' the guild since they are sold out 90% of the time.
Also don't forget Dark Crystals which sell at San'Doria AH for 6k gil/stack.
You total start cost: 216 + 120 + 6k + time = 6,336 gil.
If you synth every time you will get a stack of sheep leather. Going price at AH in San'doria is 33,000 gil!
Profit = 26664
I've found that it takes about 72hrs (Vana'diel) for stuff to "move" at the AH.
8 Auctions x 33,000/72hrs = 3666 gil/hour (Vana'diel)
That's not that bad... That 264000 gil!
I'm going to be doing this for about 3 wks (Earth). That should be enough pocket money.
