Seeking top-level crafters for purchasesFollow

If you're a top-level crafter on Ragnarok, and would entertain occasional offers from me for certain high-end items, or perhaps a batch of consumables, that often aren't available at the AH, please let me know with a reply here.

I hope to be "one of you" ("you" high-end crafters, that is) someday myself, probably in woodworking and/or in another skill. (Yup, I know about the "40 over 60" rule.)

I'm posting this plea out of frustration from having the gil for an item yet being unable to find it at any of the four major AHs.

Current interests include these, although my needs will change with time:
- Witch Stew (or, heck, just mushroom)
- Witch Kabobs
- Noble Bed (*- I ended up borrowing one from LS ... but I may want to buy it in future anyway, after I've had to return the loaner, so I can retain the Moghancement:Experience)
- Great Doublet (and other "Great" HQ versions of "Cotton" armor)
- etc., etc. :)

At least there's some company for my misery^^

I'm not rich, but I do craft up enough gil to buy the occasional "super" XP PT food, for example, like Witch Stew ... and I expect it to be costly ... but it's all but nonexistent. Even the NQ variant, Mushroom Stew, is seldom seen.

I think the high-end crafters would be glad to get a guaranteed sale, perhaps in return for slightly less than the AH price (particularly for Jeuno-market-only items, where the cost of a non-sold item is much higher). That's what I do for my ammo customers.

/befriend Irui when you get a chance and send a message, lest I forget o_O
Anyway, I'm looking at Mushroom Stew recipe right now, and the ingredients aren't looking pretty in terms of availability. It's an 85 cap recipe, so HQ Witch Stew will kind of be a crapshoot, but we'll see what happens. I'll figure out a base priceline after we talk. Witch Kabobs should be easy to do if you're still interested in those.

Chrysta, I'll try to get with you in game. I could really use Austere Sabots and I've got a bit over ah price set aside for them if someone is going to craft them to pay for materials and time and such. Or I can track down the materials. But I'll give you a tell so we can discuss.

/befriend only works if the person is online. You can search for them through the POL viewer and add them when they are offline. Since you know the server and the player name, it should be easy enough to find them. Just make sure you go with the FFXI Friend search instead of one of the other ones.

i just wanted to point out that at level 20 whitemage you do not need to use witchkabobs... or any food at all. pies may be good but they aren't worth the price for whitemages. espeacially at lv20. most of the time something like this will happen:

You use a Witchkabob.
Fight a couple pugs.
Someone dies.
Random noob: "sry i gtg k? thx for pt bai."
Leader spends 45 minutes looking for another member then finally invites a 25war/9rdm because no one else was seeking.
You kill a Pugil for 80 experience points!
10 minutes later someone else says "sorry bad xp no thanks bi thanks for pt guys bi!"
Leader: "sorry pt disbanding k? ty for pt! i had loads of fun!"

you have just wasted a witch kabob and gained 800xp in 2 hours!

ermmm nope.. you don't even need pies as a whm, much less witch stew or whatever expensive crap you wanna eat.. especially not as a taru. save your money for upcoming expenses; just because you have the extra gil doesn't mean you have to spend it right now.
