Gysahl Greens Shop and Orbs: Consumer Spending Advice

Do you have some gysahl greens and want to turn those into orbs? You might ask which is better, spending 10,000 per major orb directly from the shop, or buying stamina potions and running the orb dungeons. Here are the numbers!

One potion restores 100 stamina. That will net you about 4 major orbs from running the orb dungeons. Reference to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/7l580v/15000_stamina_later_orb_dailies_256_stamina/) for orb drop rates. PLUS you get 500 greens back for completing the dungeon. 100 stamina is 1.25 runs of the orb dungeon, so in total that will get you a "rebate" of 625 greens. In effect, you've just spent 4375 greens for four major orbs. That works out to 1093 greens per major. Compare that to the 10,000 greens per major if you buy direct.

* Orb bought directly: 10,000 greens per orb

* Orbs earned via stamina potions: 1,093 greens per orb

Conclusion: in this case, use the middleman. Buy the stamina potions for much greater efficiency when farming orbs.

Of course, there are caveats. You need the time to farm the dungeons, you don't have enough greens income to buy up everything in the shop anyway, and so on. There are always caveats.
