Talk:Gusgen Mines

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Is there any way of putting how to obtain the "map" of gusgen on this page?

SE must've nerfed Gusgen recently. I've been mining Gusgen as my primary source of gil since January of this year. Normally I would bring 9 stacks of pickaxes (108 total) and I would leave with an average of 10 Darksteel Ore and 4 Gold Ore over the span of about 25 trips or so. So far since the May Emergency Maintenance I have done 4 Gusgen Mining runs and came out with no more than 4 Darksteel Ore and only 1 or 2 Gold Ore. Just now I came from a Gusgen mining trip and left with 1 Darksteel and 0 Gold. This leads me to believe SE has nerfed the abundance of rare ores from this zone to combat RMT. Pretty typical of them if you ask me.

At the time I wrote the above message, Darksteel Ingots sold for about 98-100k a stack at Jeuno's AH, and Single Ores sold for 4-5k. As of this posting Darksteel Ingots are 150-170k a stack and rising. Singles have been selling from 7-9k. --InspectorGadget 10:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Mining

I just dug up a Translucent rock and I was like "what the **** because it wasn't on the mining list. Then after searching the article of the actual rock its listed as obtainable in gusgen mines. Perhaps it was added after someone parsed the rate of the mining results?

Notorious Monsters

Is the Foul Meat actually a notorious monster? When checked it gave me 'Too weak to be worthwhile' instead of 'It's strength is impossible to gauge'
