I’m curious where people are coming up with the gold numbers to fg ratio. Here’s the problem I see. If you go to g2g or other buying websites the ratio is 40$ To 100k gold. So if you pull up the rates of jsp it’s 40$ for 1550. Then you take the 1550 /65 per 1k which equates out to let’s call it 24k gold. So sure your saying that’s not the best deal out there for jsp and buy the 300$ package of jsp. Still doesn’t even come close to making up 75k gold difference.

buy G2G gold and get banned then I guess?

Because trading on here is safer. If I buy IGG from you and you bail, I can post a scammer accusation thread and get you locked.
Vendor sites? If they don't send igg, you have zero recourse. And most vendors are favored by by payment mediums.

Also, don't reference other sites on here.

How does this mean it’s safer? Getting someone locked or banned isn’t safer. That means the transaction was bad and now one person is banned and the other is out of fg? Is there even mediators to hold gold for lost ark?

I wouldn't buy fg to convert to lost ark gold. Ppl just have other ways to get fg and use it to buy lost ark gold rather than spending real $ on G2G or smth

Also the rates are like supply/demand thing. Sellers will lower the rate if there are no buyers. Rates used to be 0.15:1 but now it's like 0.07:1k zzz

Also considering fg can be acquired without spending $$, it's pretty good deal

Outside of the fact that FG can be gained for free, biggest thing is the risk of ban tbh.
Noone really cared when they were handing out 2-3 day bans for buying bottled gold but now that they increased the ban length to months instead days, it might as well be a perma ban because of how much you fall behind the curve in a few months.

Also mediators are always available, never takes more than a few minutes to get one so if you play it safe, you're never getting scammed here either.
