Tha MonkeyClan of the Angry Monkey (FFXI)
2 fold post
Submitted by Milotheshort on Sat, 05/13/2006 - 07:43.

this is kinduv a double purpous post.

Firstly-> I need to run a few things past Sam, but there is a possibility that i might start a monthly garrison, this well be set up as a static date, thus giving the windy folks such as sam the ability to also place runs, as our bastok runs usually are lack luster themselves... once i figure a few things out i'll post a finalized publication... leave your comment on wether this is somthing you might be interested in. Note do to the max trades per OP per day, i'm willing to incorperate lower and upper Garrisons in the future. More on this later.

Secondly-> Is more or less an offer to serious crafters. Preperations have been underway for about a year now, and things are starting to fall into place. I will open an all crafter LS, of course since there is no garenteed way to prove ppl are serious the requirement will be the guild apron as proof of your dedication. Please note this is a seperate LS group, and to my knowledge will be the first of its kind. This is not to detract from clanAM in the least bit. In fact this will provide more opertunity to Clan members who need acess to crafters for higher lvl goods. This is not a newb crafting support shell, this well be run more or less like a global board operation. If you are interested in these please leave your comments below as well. If you have questions concerning crafting let me know. I plan to post a publication on crafting more complete than previously. lol so keep your eyes peeled for that too.

ok here is where your questions comments can be left.

Stuffies

1) Feel free. I've been too busy lately to lead up any of these, but I know there's a lot of people who want them again. One request: Try taking people out on higher capped garrisons. Many folk are sick of the 30-capped ones (even though those seem to be the most profitable). As for "max trades per day", it's only per character. E.g., if you have enough people with items this isn't an issue.

2) You know, we already have an end-game ClanAM LS (that needs to be finalized, I know)... If you wanted to have a ClanAM Crafters LS that you lead up, I'd be happy to give you forum space. If not, no big deal. Just lemme know.

sounds good maior

i think that would be great... i just read the manifesto for the end game shell too. this other shell would have to be more open about its policies ergo being part of clan am proper would not be functional. However this should give a huge boost to our ls, creating a hopefull strong tie to the crafting community in general.

To elaberate more on this linkshell:
Goals of this LS
to provide a working net work amoung the more serious crafters in phoenix... as some goods can only be made by certain crafts but are required by other crafts. like "siren macroma" (sp) This too might actual give more NA players a fighting edge in the massivly dominated JP market present on FFXI servers.

Ideally speaking we are more or less forming a teamsters operation. By joining this ls you agreeing to becoming a part of a Union. So some aspects might be slow... since just about everything will be put to votes. My hopes are to actual get it so that we can dictate more or less what farmed goods should sell at. Not to rape or customers with price gauging but pass on the savings. I do understand this won't appeal to all ppl. However unlike most Unions there is no dues required since each individual is a represenative of there shop.

Other things: I totally support bulk crafting. Plus joining a network of crafters means you'll always know where to go to get the best synths possible for goods you might need. This alone is why i'm placing requirments on crafter membership. getting 70+ and 100k GP shows dedication and someone who won't need constant coaching on methods and topics. Or on things such as crafting theory. This system is elaborate and likewise it could make grounds for some college seminar. Which is the main avoidance of forming this LS.

What this LS can do:
1. Form goods
2. control market rates... ergo if an item is to high make volume flood the market and tank the price. (Yes i understand i'm promoting the development of a monopoly)
3. Actual make it possible to conduct working studies on the server population for which goods are in highest demand.

i think i might have repeated myself a bunch but hopefully i made my point.

On the garrison event...
I've contacted maior and bounced ideas off of him, i've also bounced them off of gol to. maior suggested bouncing these ideas off of cyc, darkkit, and trix as well to get a general overview. So if you guys are free pleas hit me up. Then i'll start finalizing a post once a verdict has been reached. To everybody else reading this... i mearly want to avoid getting your hopes up for something that might potentially flop. ^^ well latas Also we could use this to edge into the high lvl garrisons probly my actual goal... (for what i'm gonna start caling the tibunal... i think i'll get some free blog or something and lay it out pt for pt to make the explination process quicker...)

I'm In

I am all for this linkshell. I talked with Milo when I was at his place last weekend. I will be a cloth crafter once I get it lvld.

Side Note: So far it's at 17, not sure if Gol's goin to lvl it while I'm off and he plays Malkier for me.

Getting the requirements that Milo has stated is not that hard. I lvld up 10 lvls in about 2 hour, would have been less if I could have timed my material need with the guild store. Also, once you are at higher lvls you can make more items so you don't spend as much money getting the GP's you need for the Body piece, or if it's not an item that stacks you can make the +1's and sell them for a bigger profit.

My 2 Cents

.
1) I am interested in ClanAM End-Game

---> I am especially interested in Limbus, and would like a list of things I need to start working on to gain access to Limbus. It is my understanding that Limbus will be a portion of ClanAM End-Game. To be honest if Limbus were not part of ClanAM End-Game my interest in FFXI End-Game would likely plummet.

2) I don't know if hi-level crafting would fit within ClanAM END-Game forums, I suppose it could, but I had 96 in cooking around WHM 40.

3) I am not particulary interested in a crafting Linkshell, mainly because I used to hold crafting nights where no one showed up. To be truthful if someone were to show up on any evening wearing either a ClanAM Pearl or a Lights Templar Pearl and have the materials and crystals I would likely craft for them (even if they just wanted Shihei or Grilled Hare).

4) This ties in with 3. I am not opposed to Crafting LS per se (they have come up before in Jeuno shouts) but the more I think about them the less I understand why they are being proposed, unless they were going to hold a weekly meeting/hunting party where folks got together to camp rare and exotic materials (Shining Cloth hunting party?).

on pt 4

see i think ppl kinduv want the benifit for themselves not for a group, hopeful from what i've learned over the past few years i can make this work... this is gonna be a huge experiment i pray its not a huge flop. One of the best things i found out early on was forming a relationship with thfs. I got my first 50 lvls in WW through the business deals i made with thfs. i often exchanged finished good for raw goods. Most thf's are extatic to get bulk deals on sheihi and arrows or to get a +1 boomerang and housing furnishments. Knowing your market and your clients can make moving goods easy.

i guess to we could creat a horde and force RMTs from camp sites for crafting goods such as the siren hair... after all i am prepossing a Union and unions have a history for violence when it comes to getting what they want. ^^

Bah

No no no, I never suggested putting a Crafting LS in the end-game forums :-P

I merely said, if Milo wanted to lead up a Crafting LS on his own, and wanted to make it a ClanAM one I'd be happy to give him a sub-site to do it on. It could just be a sub-page here, or another Drupal sub-site under clanam.org. E.g., like "crafts.clanam.org" or something like that (I pulled that name out of my ass... it wouldn't have to be that).

Bah

I am still waiting for
bah.clanam.org
to appear because I am really curious what you would post out there!

=^_^=

See for yourself....

Garrison

Although I can't promise I will be at every Garrison (depends on what date you select and what days/dates work for the most people?), I will attend as many events as possible.

Assuming LVL 30 cap, I can bring: BRD, BLM, WHM, DRK, WAR
