Cornette Fame

--My wife was looking to raise her Windurst Reputation through this quest. I went to Bastok Markets (Harmodios's Music Shop, K-10) to buy cornettes at 224 gil apiece and send them to her to turn in. She started at a level 3 reputation, and after 40 trades, it was checked at level 4. Again, after 40 trades we checked again and saw that she was level 5. Since the "reward" of 200 gil nearly covers the cost of the cornette bought this way, this is a very reasonable way to improve fame in Windurst. Austineze 06:40, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Lower Bastok fame?

When I start do this for windurst fame the Cornette price for me was 222, after a few run(each run I carry 26~28 Cornettes) the price becomes 229. Could anyone explan why that happens? --AkitaNeru 10:46, 20 July 2009 (UTC) 231 now.--AkitaNeru 11:03, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Vendor prices change with demand. If you're buying a lot of Cornettes, then the vendor will slowly raise their prices (I think they're updated once per game day) until demand cools off for a bit.--Anthoron T/ C 11:08, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

I hope you are right, but I'm not sure if that is correct -- I mean, I just checked the Standard Merchant page but I found no detail about this. Is there an easy way to confirm this? NO, I believe that's NOT updating daily. After buying Cornettes I waited till the next game day and I checked again but the price didn't change, and after trading those Cornettes to the taru I came back and found the price changed.

If we are sure of this we should add this info onto This Page. --AkitaNeru 11:16, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Finally I get Windurst fame lv6 and the price goes to 243, I too have Bastok fame lv6, I think I need to check it again atm. --AkitaNeru 12:47, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

At the begining it was 222, then 224, 229, 231, finally it becomes 243. But seems my Bastok fame didn't become lower, so confused. After the last time I bought cornettes I waited from 4:30 to 1:30 of the second game day, but the price didn't change as I checked it every few minutes. I also tried login/logout and zoning, it keep being 231gil. Just after I turn'd in all my Cornettes the price became 243gil.

That's ALL I know, seems there are some undiscovered factor working... --AkitaNeru 12:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
