That is rediculise... I have noticed that the gil sellers in gusgen mines are still unphased by the patch... More concrete info o0nt he sniper alternative quests needs to be released to truely start hurting them.
You ask an ye shall recieve:
1) Talk to Rudolfo at the AH in Rabao, then head over to Zoriboh on the opposite end of Rabao to actually start the quest. He'll tell you to look for the girl in Norg.
2) Head down the hallway in Norg that leads to the leader-dude of Norg, and take the first door on your left. You'll see 3 guys at a table, talk to the guy on the right side of the table. After this, talk to the lady standing behind him and she'll give you a key item.
3) Head to Korroloka Tunnel and find the 4 giant clams there. Return to Norg and give him the water (just talk to him), and he'll then tell you to go talk to the Galka next to the chocobo in Norg.
4) Your destination after this is Port Bastok, the tenshodo warehouse. Talk to the man in the right-hand corner from the main entrance, and he'll mention 5 Eastern gems.
5) Leave the warehouse through the back door after talking with the guy in the right-hand corner, and talk to the Galka NPC that's facing into a corner with boxes. He'll mention that he needs the 5 Eastern Gems that are dropped by second-tier sahagins in Sea Serpent Grotto. You can also buy them on the AH, they're going for 9k a pop on Bismarck. Once you get those, trade them to him and tell him you want information. He'll tell you to head to Selbina (more or less).
6) Talk to the mayor of selbina, and he'll mention the Lufaise Meadows zone from Valkurm Dunes. Take the swirling vortex from valkurm dunes to lufaise meadows, where you'll get a cut. I don't know if the answer you choose affects how much gil or not, but I chose that zoriboh sent me to find her. (This got me 4k gil and a Venerer Ring)
7) You're done! Head back to Rabao and talk to Zoriboh to receive your reward, a nice shiny Venerer Ring!
Unfortunately this all requires that the Proms be done.
not too bad really, its +3 acc and much cheaper than sniper's.
