    Maybe at the goldsmith guild? Its on your way for the Gourmet quest, but I checked there while doing the ores and never saw zinc ore on sale. However, Bastok was ranked 2nd on my server so maybe if they are ranked 1st you can buy zinc there.

    Also, the 'official' number being thrown around for rice balls is 152-153. Hopefully, I wont confuse people, but I did the ore quest 32 times, went to Norg without checking rice ball prices, quest for both Tonko and Utsusemi, came back to Jeuno and price of rice balls was 155. So go figure.:sweat:

      According to Famitsu, you can buy zinc ores near the quest person.... but I couldn't find him at all... so I thought Square Enix took it off >_<

          How many ores do you need to give in exactly? Ive heard 100 and 120.which is it? And a place to buy ores instead of the pricey AH would be nice.

            As mentioned before, you need 120 ores total, it also seems there is on zinc ore vendor in whole Vana.
            So you are pretty much left with 3 options:
            1) Buy at AH
            2) Mine them
            3) Farm worms for them.

            I did #1 since it was just the quickest way, not to mention I ended up paying less than 1/3 of what Utsusemi sells for at the AH. In my server, on weekends, you can get each zinc ore for 200 in Sandy(its always around 300 in Bastok, why this when they have a stupid mine right in town is beyond me...guess its because Sandy ownz all! :D).
            200-250 per ore, but substract 350 for each 4 is a lot cheaper than buying the scroll in the AH.

              100k for Utsusemi scroll on my server... anyway... getting enough fame to start the quest is one thing, getting the quest done is another thing... you have to go around in sea grotto... >_<;

                Can't you just do the airship smuggler quest in Sandoria from the Tenshodo. This one actually gives you money, about 800 each trip and it takes 10minutes each.

                  if you do the smuggling quest there is a chance you'll be caught and fail the quest. if that happens you're banned for 12 hours from using airship :dead:

                    It only happen if you speak to anyone beside the people you have to pay to enter/exit the airport.
