Making this post on behalf of friend who has hoarded these books since old source GPQ days Books are currently located at FM9 CH1 Top Mid Straight sale for 1.2b 625m 525m each
Price has been lowered by almost 50%, waste use your mesos on this book instead of bombing all of them like a pleb Chief Bandit
Lmao "new drop rate" there is no new drop rate, there is literally like 10 added books to the bonus then there was before. so like I told you in-game even, you can wait an eternity no ones selling you that book for 200m. Just like this "APQ BONUS" its literally nothing. People have books from the past year or so, its not like people have 100s of books since this "bonus". EDIT: If you so profoundly think these books are so worthless now, then you can go get it yourself running 6 clients or bothering other ppl to gpq Lets buff Shadowers then make these people think they're going to get their GPQ exclusive skillbook for dirt cheap, meanwhile NL/BS still paying 1.xB for tt30 and gen30 when these books are practically seen 24/7. Its more a slap in the face offering 200m
There is technically a new drop rate, as the patch notes stated an increased drop rate and you can clearly see the influx of book sales post buff. Looks like you are trying to justify or trick people that the book is worth near and stabilize @625m a piece, when in reality, it will drop near or below 200m. IMO it will most likely be in a similar tier to Blizzard 30 and such. Shadowers are a low player base compared to the rest of the classes, and eventually, there will be noticeably more books than shadowers requiring assassinate 30. OP already dropped the price from prebuff (1b-1.5b) to 625m in a matter of a couple of weeks. You cannot compare tt30 and gen30 since those drop from a high level boss requiring pre-requisites far greater than gpq's little to none requirements. There is a reason why these sell consistently @1b+. Took me awhile to procure a book prebuff, and now its like candy. The market speaks for itself. Rip 1b >.>
I'm not trying to be a bad guy or trick anyone either, like I said before either do GPQ get your book, pass it 1/1 or fail it 10 times in a row. We're still going to sell it for a decent price(not 200m) because just like your horntail statement, not everyone has access to do GPQ Also there has been a rise of Buccs & Shadowers in the community, I've seen many new cbs/shads and some higher level shads even teaching them how to make their macros and what not in the fm. Its pretty strong right now with the right equips, as is any other "common" class. Alot of Shadowers I know of too have stopped playing their Shadowers, because they're tired of/or dont want to use meso to deal damage in every scenario! I do get your point though but I don't believe it will be the case because it is exclusive to one area unlike Blizzard30 is dropped in GPQ and HT, which would be a logical reason that book would crash.
