One of the perks of doing this though, is that I'm in the ironic situation where my mule holds a whole lot more cash than my main character, well, assuming I were to liquidate the Platinum I've stored there.
Currently, that all amounts up to four stacks of Platinum, and thirty-four Platinum Ores, bringin my mule's value in Platinum alone to be roughly 6.1 million gil! Compare that to my main character, which has just 3.5 million, although granted, the spells and gear tip the scales back in favour of the main. Kinda scary to think that my mule's Platinum could almost buy a second set of HQ staves though...
I'm also debating whether to grow my nuggets, or just buy them off the AH and get through the Platinum Ingot stage faster. I've calculated things, and at current AH prices, I make about 60k profit per stack of Platinum Ingots, so just a straight conversion from ingredients to Ingots is certainly possible. I'm personally more worried about a definite oversupply of Platinum that's going on. I certainly don't remember Platinum Ores being this easy to collect, whereas now, I can easily walk up to the AH and come back with an armful of Ores, whereas before, I had to camp the AH for days on end to get my Ores, one by one. I wonder...
