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...)

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?).
