Ok so maybe this is a taboo subject idk, but how on earth do you take an item from this server(or any for that matter) and transfer it to another server to sell it? I seen people doing this on seraph lots. Most often with cuch mantle..same person selling 4-6 outta the last 10 sales which was kinda funny cuz we only ever held all the zones once...ever. Curious minds wanna know...

I haven't done it either. Suffice to say it costs about 20 dollars to transfer.

More like multiple items.

The idea is to find a server with higher-priced high-demand item, buy a bunch on your server at the lower price, then transfer to sell them on the other server.

Most do it with mules, but honestly, you end up waiting months to get the gil back to your server so it's not worth doing, in my opinion.

EDIT: FYI, the most common item used this way is Hagun. :P

Sure it's more work and takes longer than just buying gil with 20 dollars, but there's obviously more benefits to legitimately transferring to make that gil.

thats what I noticed on Bismark...someone just bought 4 lemmington medalion +1's for 12 mil total...that just seemed either pretty flamboyant if they're just going to equip his/her mules...or they're planning on selling them on other servers.

An obvious solution

Create a mule on said server and transfer it back, then delete both.

But it's still in a way "paying" for gil, just legitimately. That 40 mil lets say you made, still cost you 40$

Ah, I didn't even consider that you could already have a mule on the server.

Of course, $40 is a large price to pay for making gil you could just take some time to farm/selling on your own server.

um, considering 40 mil would run you about a thousand bucks, getting it for 40 bucks would be comparatively a pretty acceptable option if you don't have any moral hangups
