What do you guys think about the insane cost of the later die's?

Frankly now 100k = 1million old gil. When these die's were added they cost chump change, but now its a lot of effort to get these damned things. You guys think the price of these should be lowered to ease the burden on the Corsairs?

Say wha-?

I want to go cor, but if it's this expsensive...

Why would it cost so much? I only see about 10 corsairs on total on my server with /sea all cor

I paid for most of COR and RNG career on Conquest points and imperial standing, only now do I not lean on that old habit so much.

So I really don't see the problem, gil-wise. I'm terrible with gil and still made it to 75 with both jobs just fine.

Be thankful you don't have to quest or deal with our Dice being NM, BCNM or Mob drops, do you realize how insane it would be if Fighter's Roll was an NM drop? It would be like getting Erase in the old days where you paid an arm and leg to have it or have the "right job" to do a BCNM 40.

Only bad thing about buying Corsair dice is when you need some dice and Chayaya is tarunapped.

If the expense of COR bothers you, its just not the job for you. Neither are RNG and NIN, for that matter. Thankfully, our some of our best gear is free and our best AFs get a TON of milage in contrast to most other AF.

I'll make it through somehow. Yar har pirate.

Let's see, they're what, 20k each average? At 18 jobs, that comes out to around 360k, right?

Jesus, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say "I've spent more than that on a single spell. Live with it."

EDIT: Looked it up. They're about 26k on average, and around 470k total. That's still not bad at all. Even at "4.7m" at peak values, It's not much worse than what another mage would spend on spells in the long run, especially when you include subjobs.

http://gd-tangent.tsunami-art.com/We...rate!_full.swf <-much better.

Also, it has mithras.

I like the cute little pirates on the other swf more. Even if it is seizure-y.

Mithras? I didn't see a kitty in thar.

But thanks for the cute animation!

I wonder how many animations have that song, or if there is even longer version.
