Black Belt items!Follow

Just stand by at any of the king's spawns during the window. I know a lot of HNMLS's have BB items for their members, even the one's that don't need them. They'd probably sell to you if your price is right. That's how I ended up getting one of mine.

Sad, but in my research and speaking with several people in the shell this is accurate. Further, they would rather drop them then sell them for less than 2mil a piece. Horribly inflated in today's economy imo.

Yeah, but you have to rationalize that $4,000 bot somehow, right?

Yeah it's still the case. The problem is that Stel would sell you an item for 500k, not 2 mil (which is just freaking absurd). The economy is steadily deflating and Censhura is steadily increasing their price.

And as was mentioned before, they would rather let it drop into oblivion then sell it to you for 500k. @#%^s + Bots = Winning combination

I went 2/3 from ksnm99 and got the third trio'ing adamantoise when people didn't show up for adamantoise because they thought an update was going to occur but ended up getting postponed 24 hours.

another option then buying from King spawn locations is to ask around to see if there are any groups going to do ks99 runs. you can offer drops instead of gil. not sure whos out there doing them but some where on here is thread about 99 runs. i know the drop rate sux but i trioed Turtle with me <mnk>,thf,whm. was extremely easy fun fight. of course theres that claiming thingy but you never know.

Yes i believe i will try the KS99 way. Hopefully someone offer a price for the items that are reasonable (iow not like Chenshura, or is it Cheatshura?) :)

I found this post very comical XD


Others must pay so that the person cheating will profit from it?
haha. Botting destroys this game, how can any gamers support that lol.

PS! i know this was a joke.

I wish it was a joke, but they do have a 4000$ bot, and this is probably one of their ways of rationalizing it

I had no idea we had 50 monks running around with 20 mil on our server. I suppose we are the Switzerland of FFXI.

<insert obligatory lolcenshura comment here>

Level 1 mule? What a waste...Kind of similar to ordering an Extra Large pizza, eating one slice, and then throwing it out when there are other people out in the world starving. Behavior like that is disgusting to be honest. You may get a kick out of it while your lv1 mule has items that others honestly need that you refuse to give up, and the fact that you would brag about it means you must have very low standards...

As far as selling... 3 Mil per piece? Greedy a bit much? Seems Greed before Need still prevails on the HNM scene.

I like this "lvl1 mule" and "ground" juxtaposition. As if the fact that lvl1 mules are getting the items instead of being dropped should suddenly make us all wipe the sweat from our brows with relief.

I might prefer it to hit the ground in this case.

Too bad we cannot dual wield rate downs. At least there is one more person you never have to worry about helping out when you see a /shout.

I have extensive experience with end-game. Cen goes out to camp NQ turtle not for the drops, not for BB item, but to keep anyone else from getting comfortable with the idea that camping "might" yield a chance at fighting these NM's. Cen camps NQ to keep others from camping em, that's it.

After enough times of getting out claimed by Cen many people simply give up trying.

I'd also think that 4.5-6 mil is easily obtainable if my LS routinely charged people these prices for BB items. For the average player it isn't easy to amass that sort of gil readily.

Actually I have experience in endgame and have helped run Oceanids as a co leader for Sky/Sea/Limbus events for close to a year before I quit due to RL obligations. I've camped kings before over the years I've played the game. My issue with what you do is what Baurun stated:



There is nothing wrong with a LS selling items, but when you have specific LS's openly botting NM's and end up cornering the market to sell items at whatever price they want without competitive prices from other LS's who could get the claim, then yes that is a big deal. This is why I don't involve myself with Ground Kings anymore...people like your group take the fun out of it as most shells know they stand very little chance against the $2500 Bot until SE fixes it.

To the OP, might I suggest that you get some KS together and get your BB items through KSNM if you can. There were people in Oceanids that got their BB items that way. It's "Free" and you can end up putting money in your own pocket instead of in the pocket of others filled with Greed.

Reminds me of the good old days with Demo, etc.

You'd have a better chance at winning the lottery. I know two people that were after BB and someone in Censhura knew about it. Censhura had no buyers at the time and my friends were notified that the HNM was up and no one was there to buy. Instead of agreeing to my friend's price and letting the item go to him, they told my friend "Our price is 2 mil, take it or leave it".

Now if you have zero buyers, why would you not take an offer? You get money either way, and the item goes to someone that will use it. It's greed, and Tummie pretty much hit the nail on the head.

I don't have the countless hours a day to play that you do, and if that means I fail at a video game, I'm fine with that assessment.

I'd much rather fail at a video game than fail at life. I could use the "go get a job you waste of oxygen", but that's not really the issue at hand. You really have no decency as a human being. So you don't fail at life because of a lack of job or social life. You just fail at life for lack of moral character.

Adamantoise is easily duo'ed/trio'ed. Just have to watch out for possible links.

I hope, that when Censhura does eventually get caught it goes down something like this (from Zhi's point of view).

Zhi>> Claimage! Claimage, Zhi, you poor boy. Claimed dry. I'm so sorry.
Zhi>> Here, if you have a claimbot, and I have a claimbot, and I have a ban
Zhi>> hammer. There it is, that's a ban hammer, you see? You watching?. And my
Zhi>> hammer flies acroooooooss the zone, and starts to ban your claimbot...
Zhi>> I... ban... your... claimbot!
