Silks

[Negorath]

Any good places to farm for silks?

[Karinya]

Depending on level, Sarutabaruta (Crawler), Tahrongi (Canyon Crawler), Maze of Shakhrami (Carnivorous Crawler)...

but probably the best place to farm for silk, if you are high enough level, would be Crawlers Nest (in Rolanberry Fields). I haven't been there yet, though.

No. He's only level 31. He would get butchered in the Crawlers Nest. Even still, its not a very good place to hunt for silks.

For his given level, I would hunt for Carnivorous Crawlers but not in Shakhrami. Too much stuff would aggro him. The best place is Buburimi Pennisula at K-10 by the Lighthouse. This place has only Crawlers (tons of them) & birds.

Hmmm i don't understand a thing.
Do you think that high level crawlers drop more silks than low levels one ?
From what i have seen in crawler nest i'm pretty sure they don't drop more silks than the one in Sarutaba.

So i just go farm silk in Sarutaba cause it's far more faster to slash them in 2 hit than hunting a higher level crawler that will take more time to kill.

Yeah, you might as well fight them in Sarutabaruta or Tahrongi (you can get air elementals there too). Best to use rng or rng sub for widescan.

And Negorath, please help getting the price of silk stacks in Windurst ah back up to 12k. It suddenly dropped down to 10k this past weekend. Some fools don't know basic economics.

Thanks for the help, it's appreciated.

Yeah, it's the result of people trying to sell their wares lower so they will sell faster wihout knowing the least bit of tactics about marketing, not only will you get less for you wares, everyone else will also get less for their wares.

On my server they gone down to 9k-9.5k

[pagodaman02]

Asura's has been about 8k for a LONG time. Good thing I make money other ways, lol.

I think that the level of the crawler really doesn't affect drop rate of silk threads. Processionaires in boyahda (lvl 72-75 crawlers) dropped silk threads at aout 3-4 per hour when I went there with exp PT. It's all really the same IMO. However, the crawler NMs for the rolanberry quest in crawlers nest drop at a fairly decent rate. I would get 1 or 2 stacks in an hour. Plus you make money off the rolanberries If you have a lvl 60 melee job, you can solo the rolanberry quest crawlers.

Some fools don't know basic economics.

Artificially raised prices do not help the economy.

If we talk about supply and demand, if there is oversupply (lots of n00bs hunting crawlers) and underdemand (not enough high level crafters) then the price of silks are going to go down.

Also, if less money is generated from low level sales, then when people get higher level they do not have cash for items. Therefore, the demand for higher level items drops, because of this people will drop the price of higher level items. It may be that some items will stop being hunted so much, this may drive prices backup due to under supply.

That is one theorum of economics, I think the people who are working the AH obviously understand basic economics. I certainly have no problems with the AH and know how to price my goods. I know the NPC sales value and I know the value that I want to sell them at. I will price them lower if there are lots for sale to free up my inv space. If the price drops uncomfortably I look at the AH market to see what is in demand and change to that.

That my friend is economics.

As for crawler silks, the two Sartas are usually pretty good, but the effort to get silks for selling purposes is not very good, there are far more profitable items out there.

yep

Yeah, on Fairy, in Windurst, its 600 each for silk, about 9k for a stack. though a friend I know hasnt sold his stack at 8,900 for days.

It makes no sense to buy 12 at 9k, when in singles you can buy 12 for 7.2k

Of course the Windurst AH is going to sell em for less, since its so close to a great supply.

But, there also seems to be more clothescrafters at windurst, so fsater turn around too.

I know when I get high enough, I'll take the xtra time to just buy in singles or get em myself.

Raising the price, especially where there is a close supply of mob for farming, is asking for the buyers to just not buy and get it themselves.
