Since the release of 4th job, I have zakked ALOT. However, I have never seen a Marksmen Boost 30 drop. Now that they are a little more common, peope are pricing them at 100mil+. The thing is, there are very few Marksmen that actually need the book but they are still priced extremely high. I can't complain that the price is high since its so rare but I mean....orgainizers are so greedy  I join runs because it's all I really need/want. Unfortunately, organizers state, before I even zak, that I will not get it if it drops. So I ask the question, is this unfair considering it's a skill book I need? or is this the way it should go because the z-runners need more money?

I relize its a rare book, but you also have to be fair to the run organizers, if you weren't there it'd be a ton of money.
Of course, if you are on the run and there are only 5 other attacks, you basically get a 1/6th discount because the money you put into it comes back to you. Try to zak with friends, I know jey and will (and tbone) are greedy bastards, but even they would understand at least a half price, if not almost free. Just run with deviant every Friday at 10pm est (10 or 11, I don't remember)

Wait, how the hell do they charge 100m for an item that almost no one needs? ._.
If no one is trying to buy it, it shouldn't be expensive. .__.

t used to be highly priced in Bera...I thought it was a rare drop until a buddy of mine said he dropped it at least 2 times after Zaking cause he thought it was worthless. Prices have dropped a lot in the last week.
As mentioned try and go with friends...dont give in to the marketers.

At the release of 4th job, I've seen a few for 5-10m unsold. At the moment they're 30m in Scania, and they just started appearing again :f6:

Yeah I'm gunna wait it out and see how it goes. They are still priced at 100mil because ONE person buys a few at that price so the whole market uses that as a mark to base their pricing on. I wouldn't mind paying the remaining money but 100mil for an uncommon class' 30 book is just annoying to see. Like 6 MM30 for 100mil in the fm  . Thanks for the input and it does seem more are dropping

Conclusion : Don't buy them.
When I was still mass buying every single sparta in the FM, prices raised. Lost interest, and a few days ago I browsed the FM and came across quite a few sparta's for half the price I used to buy them for.

Holy fack dude. So at one point were they as expensive as 100mil? or just started at a low price and remained low?

I owl everyday, and there's never any in the FM.
Are people just hiding it or something? :/

Since they sell for so little, organizers probably just discard them. Might want to message the organizers directly.

um windia dudes
Buy all your marksman boosts, put them on a mule, transfer it to broa. Mass sell for an easy (atleast) 60m each, buy apples, go back to windia.
or whatever server you're from.
hah.

The reason they were(and still are) high in Bera is because of people like my buddies. One of whom drop 2 because he thought they were worthless  (they were selling for 40mill at the time). I bet others dont even bother picking them up on Zak runs.

Weird. I just saw one for 6m in Scania, I didn't get it though, too early. How can it be over 50m? Seriously.. is it THAT rare?
