You could try the Crimson Knight Crabs in Lufaise or Misereaux as well. No one really kills them and they have a fast repop. They're only a tier lower then the SSG crabs though.

Besides since they sell as cheap as 100gil I'm not sure how many RMT's would waste there time farming these..maybe I'm wrong and they have moved in to this market, that would be great, that means they aren't farming profitable drops. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-18-2007, 06:36 AM | #9 (permalink) | | Fan of Murphie Brain of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: Largo, FL Posts: 1,500 Style: Light - Version 5 Thanks: 87 Thanked 263x in 155 Posts Gil: 1,534 Bank: 25,272 Total Gil: 26,805 Donate | Re: Crab Shell Originally Posted by Darkages | | do not buy from ah it feeds the noobs and rmt we all know we secertly dont want them to prosper. | Because crab shells is such a hot commodity for RMT, now that they their fish bots are being hunted down
Actually, feeding "noobs" by buying stuff off the AH is a good thing. It's better that "noobs" make their living by selling random drops on the AH than for them to go buy gil from RMT. After all, isn't that what we basically tell every new player who comes to a message board asking how they can raise gil? Lyonheart
