I bought 3 stacks of pickaxes, got on just a little after New Moon and with Akemie started excavating like an angry mithra in TC. 2 stacks of Chicken Bone (50K each stack), 2 stacks of bone chips, 20 large femur and several oddities, including a couple of turtle shells. I still have a few pickaxes left over and will do this again tonight. Probably every night. I calculated that this is the only real way you can save money over the long haul, even if you have to buy your crystals (You shouldn't have to, since you can get an elemental at least every time out in TC for 1 to 3 clusters each kill)
Inflation in boneworking right now seems to be driven by several nutheads who think they can powerlevel their craft. Wait till they hit the 60-80s when they have to get demon horns and coral fragments. Let's see how long their purchased gil lasts ... orz.
Demon Horn is at around 150 to 200K EACH. Coral fragments are hovering around 15 to 20K EACH.
