I currently have 50 stacks (500) of mana herbs that can be made into MP100s, or be used for enchanting.

On my mule elf and giant, I also have MP100s stocked up for sale.

Note me in game (IGN: Joyjason) with the quantity of the herbs or potions you would like to order.

Prices:
Mana Herbs: 15k/stack
MP100 Potions: 30k/stack

The items will be sent on a first-come, first-served basis.

I would buy BULK mp100s off you if you can beat the price of my supplier of 20k per stack. I usually order 200k-400k from them each real life day.

With the end of the rafting reward glitch, bulk MP100s are a little harder. It's almost not worth 20k/stack to keep trying for the mana herb stacks in rafting.

I guess you can always save up mana herbs from dungeons (practically obsolete), or monster drops (only one or two at a time), but that won't get you bulk.

The reason why I'm selling mine so expensive is because of the fact that I have quite a bit of herbs stacked up, and it could be of use to someone who needs a large amount (Enchant burner or a full-time mage) but doesn't want to go to channel 2 to advertise for it.

Sure, you can keep buying the MP100s from your buyer for 20k/stack, but I guarantee you that your supplier will not be able to provide 20k MP100 stacks for long; the prices will rise: it's inevitable.

Even with the rafting glitch, which gives 30 mana herbs in about 15 minutes to a dedicated individual, mana herbs were still 10k/stack.

I don't know how they'll be knocked to 5k/stack even with farms: They would need to produce a massive amount enough to discourage buyers to purchase them for too much.

Furthermore, the demand for mana herbs is still high in the mage community--It's not going to go back to 5k that quickly.

Any dedicated mage will farm up their own mana herbs once farms do get added in, so you might as well sell all your herbs for a price that will actually sell before mana herbs actually do jump from 10k/stack to 1k/stack.

Yes. I realize this. Thank you for your advice =P

Some people are hellbent on demanding G14 for cheaper mana herbs, even though it's barely been a week into G13S2.

For your Information. (I'm Ruairi but this is universal) Rafting glitch is NOT NEEDED for mana herbs. They are a 28-30? Reward for rafting and ALWAYS appear, no glitch needed.

So there is no need for a spike in prices.

I realize this, but some people are not willing to spend the money or the time to get 28-30 stars for the guaranteed mana herbs; for one, they lose that much more mana, and even lose quite a lot of money from wand repairs (provided they use Thunder). Range will very likely fail to meet this requirement consistently, and only 20 herbs may be obtained AT MAX, since the second leg is so short.

All these factors count when the mana herb prices rise; the end of the glitch discourages the gathering of mana herbs through rafting (Of course, as I mentioned above), while the demand for mana herbs or MP100s still remain strong.

Last thing. I don't need 3-5 people lecturing me about how my prices are too much and blah blah blah. I know what I'm doing, and if you don't like my prices, just say they're too expensive to the extent of warning other players, but don't waste your and my time posting about something I already know.

Although the rafting reward glitch is "fixed," (maybe ;) ) it's still quite easy to get mana herbs every raft stop. 15k per stack is fairly reasonable, however i'm sorry I cannot justify 30k/mp100 stack - I will keep with my current supplier. He has, and will continue to (until g14) provide me with mp100 stacks for 20k each. I GUARANTEE it.

I don't mean to take up so much of your valuable time, but I thought I might just shed some light on things you are seemingly unaware of. As I previously said, I buy between 2-400k of mp100s every day. Today I only bought 10 stacks. This will continue, as my guild leader is the most reliable person I have ever met on this game.

Just remember folks. It is perfectly reasonable for a salesman to try to sell you something for an outrageous price. It is up to YOU in the end to say "Do I want to pay an outrageous price?" Paying people more than what is necessary for an item keeps people like Joyjason (Chihaya) in business. They are well aware that their prices are unnecessarily exaggerated, yet will continue to sell for their prices (which theoretically, they have every right to do).

No offence intended Jason, you yourself just said that you know your prices are too high yet are still continuing to sell for that amount.

The sad thing is, people will buy for this amount provided they're desperate enough. Good deal for me, if I say so myself.

EDIT: Even pre G13S2, I sold MP100s for 25k/stack easily. I don't understand why I won't be able to sell it for a higher price now. Perhaps people have Mana herbs stacked up that they made into herbs, and the sudden supply brought the price down, but even that supply will dry out; that's what I'm aiming for.

At the worst-case scenario of me not being able to sell any, I can just use the mana herbs for myself--I'm also a mage as well.
