Even the starting weapon cannot be sold to npc according to wiki.

Could be trading their weapon + 60gil to a main do complete the quest "Donate to recycling" to get RA/EX WasteBucket and sell them for 500gil having to run all the way to Selbina?? - Doubt so...

And maybe some other main mule trade them items to complete some startup quest with these mules in starter towns...

Anyhow, as you all said so far, this sound very fishy ;)

Was in Windy doing the cornetts fame for a cooking mule of mine. Saw 4-5 /anon people next to the cornett trading npc in windy walls. I stood next to the npc and they would make several mistakes and trade me. They traded me about 15 cornetts bofore they figured out what was going on. The odd part about all this is they would "glitch" through the walls of the npc's house. Made me abit upset I go from bastok to windy with the new moogle transport and they glitching through walls>.> Well I did get free 15 cornetts with 200 gil from the trades each. I would assume they getting windy fame for Warp 2, tele mea etc. Next time your in Windy check it out they might be there again.

lol ya ive seen these guys too
very random indeed! or was it.as u say it could be a very organised way of distributing gil.june 5th 2009 version update states dat the reason for update was a discovery that they made of genearating gil in an inappropraite manner maybe this sheds some light on it!

Yeah, ok...20 "normal" players that have gibberish names and question marks. Totally reasonable.

Lol... so next thing se is gonna do is take away all starting gear. You start naked <|Bio|>tch!


Or they could just make starting items ALL rare/ex. They could also make it so that if you started a new job like RDM you could talk to the NPC level 5 or below on that job and recieve the rare/ex weapon/spell and not be able to sell it. Just toss it when you get to the next weapon.

Selbina has a nomad moogle so setting up for the Donate to Recycling quest isn't that much of a stretch. Onion weapons can be sent via delivery box.


That is a distinct possibility. What is the reward from that quest anyway? Never did it. lol

This has been going on for a year or more. It's just extremely noticeable now that most ppl in Bastok set their homepoint to Bastok Mines -- where the OP NPC is.

It's definitely RMT -- I had one randomly trade me a few months back, put up exactly 2 million gil in the trade box, wait like 20 seconds, then cancel.

All names like: aaaabc, aaaabd, aaaabe, aaaabf, aaaabg
