260K was a while ago, it was a few months back....so yea some say thats cheap for that time period...it used to be 300K solid. But its dropping lots lately.

EDIT: Darkstaff is almost a need for mages, therefore its NOT worth it to grow those. Grow other kinds of staves like Wind(RDM Fave for genkai 5), and Fire and Lightning where BLMs only get em. Sure they sell slower, but the price is higher most likely. Somehow Fire ore is almost higher always..Light ore too since WHMs and RDMs use only but its not a real requirement like dark.
