where I farm
I like skinning so I go tahrongi & konschat where I feel I have better luck. Bone excavating I do in Tahrongi. I carry a stack of pickaxes and hatchets so I can get some wood and bones.
I try to wear only a green "farming" tunic and my weapon so i have plenty of space to farm with. I usually go as my highest lvl (whm59) and sub thf. If you have any bone excavating compitition you can tele-mea which puts you in the middle of 3 prime excavating areas and then FLee or choco (if its cheap)
**Skins sell FAST, within 15 minutes shotglass was emptied of his skins. The guild prices on items is usually far more expensive.
**I don't drop anything, gil is gil.
CRAFTERS WAY TO EARN GIL
-Synth Glass Fibers out of Gobby Masks. Lightening + 1 mask = 3 threads (super synth = more) this is Alchemy about lvl 20ish
-Copper Ingots(might be bronze?) Yag Bead + Lightening (this is lvl 0 stuff)
-Sheep Wool 2 sheepskin + 1 wind (leathercraft 0) stack of wool =10k at least
-Desynth Elm Staffs, sell Lumber (you might need wood 40 for this)
-Grass threads. Yag Bead+ wind crystal = 3 threads (clothcraft 0)
-CHoco Fletchings *my friend swears by this* 2 choco feathers (8 gil each from stables) + wind crystal= i think 6 fletchings. 12 = stack and poof you have at least 1k gil. Sell them in Sandy where all the wood crafters are.(lvl 0 clothcraft)
higher lvl farming
Zi'tah Goodbues (lvl60) they drop tree seedlings if you are patient and lucky.
Sky
TBA
Castle Oztroja
- Upper Level yags Drop higher level BLM, BRD and NIN Spells. One of the spells was selling for 700k (Aero IV) You can also Steal Gold Coins.
They also drop Elemental Summons (rarely)
try to bring high 60's.

Gardening:Even if you have to start small, take about 18k and buy yourself 2 brass pots and a pair of tree cuttings off the AH. Plant on the Waxing Crescent moon phase on Iceday and check at least once per day. I prefer to check it only on Iceday's. Now there are two feeding times... overlook both and just continue to check it at least once daily until about 2 weeks later it says it's ready to harvest, harvest them on Full Moon windsday and you'll get from 2~4 saplings guarenteed.

I find this quite helpful. ^^ Getting a basic idea where to get what and sell where is cool.
i love to see one of my ideas turn helpful lol nice job ^^ you are missing a few lvls on your list. good luck mybe itll stickie
Nice idea, I like this but one suggestion if I may - Perhaps using S, B and W for the cities instead of *, @ and # might make it a little easier to read.
Other than that though great work, thanks.
Other than that though great work, thanks.
I think the one who suggested this deserves all the props..and I am editing it with your suggestions.
I hope this helps. If you hunt saplings there is little to no compitition. I tend to choose things to farm that I don't have to compete with people over - more for me - So Kon & Tahrongi are my fav places.
Oh if you are lvl 63 you can farm the Northlands. I know a 56 that farms tigers in Beudicine Glacier and Gigas. The Dragon in Vahzl always drops gil, I got 3k one time we killed it. For higher lvl farming I would have to ask around (other than Dynamis etc) I apologize but my highest is only 59

in case anyone needs this
I like the gobs/orcs/quadavs for revenge part :P
If you are ever in King Ranperres tomb/Inner Horuto/Dangruf Wadi, the low level gobs also drop wild onions which are about 8 or 9k a stack, I had been hunting them all the way to level 45 or so >.> Good steady profit for me and they drop fast.
If you have CoP the tigers in Cartpenter's landing are waaaay undercamped, (why did I say this >.<) and it's almost always lightning, so clusters ahoy!
And I think that I have said too much *shuts her mouth*

Aoni made all of his gil off Wild Onions...he had control of the market for awhile too.hunting the empties can be profitable..
FARMING PROMS
I believe fleeting is the 15k for 1 and bitter is 5k (w/o being able to check I cant be too sure) I sometimes will farm prom-holla with my buddy nitro I go as war/nin and he goes as rng or war.
Hmm I will have to try the carpenters landing one...I just love skinning ...the drops especially off sheep come rather easily.
I wouldnt worry too much about compitition most people dont have the patience for farming. I have been told that fishing is profitable (by a lvl 53 fisher >.<)

Fomar are good with a friend btw. If you get their ingot and cloth drops, that is about 89-120k a piece. You will have to reset your hate before every run in the aqueducts though.
Someone needed help with Giddeus Key last night so I thought I'd help him out, using the chance to try out harvesting over there as well. We got his key on the first Yag we killed, so I had plenty of time to run around afterwards ^^ Along with a bunch of other things I managed to get 3 pieces of mugwort in less than an hour. I ran back to Windy, checked the AH and went O_O!! No longer will I be farming crawlers to make dough, harvesting in Giddeus all the way! :D And who knows, maybe I can kill some NMs as I'm running around ^^;
Good Farming Info / Suggestions.
Space the Areas out a little More by Level, and it will be much easier to read and Resource. Good Stuff, Rated up :)

I would like to emphasize the portion of the post titled "Crafters way to earn gil"
I find that you can maximize your farming profits, space, and kill a bunch of birds with one stone if you simply plan ahead and think things through. You don't necessarily even need to BE a crafter. There are things out there you can craft in the field which will raise your crafting skill - and also will create more room for you right there, whereever you're farming. The following example DOES involve the fact that I have my cloth skill up, BUT the first portion of this (making sheep wool) can prove to be profitable as well and does NOT require any previous crafting skills (**as previously indicated by Niobia above**)
HERE IS MY EXAMPLE -
I clothcraft (only at 40)
When i started crafting, I found I was losing money fast, and wanted to offset some costs. My leathercrafting was at zero and thought it might be fun to skill it up a bit, but did't really want to go out of my way to skill it up.
Here's what i did. (this is simply elaborating a little bit on what has already been written by Niobia)
**I went out at Clothcraft level 32**
I grabbed 2 or 3 stacks each of the following crystals: Wind, Lightning, Earth
I teleported myself to DEM (Konschtat Highlands), went to the approx area of where Stray Mary spawns and I did the following:
Trained all the sheep i could find and mass-murdered them for their sheepskins (which don't stack)
Once I had collected a few sheepskins, i would synth them using
Wind Crystal + 2 X Sheepskin = 1 Sheep Wool
This is a leathercrafting recipe - and it caps at 4. So my leathercrafting skill started rising right away.
Once I would get together a few Sheep Wools, i would synth:
Lighting Crystal + 2 X Sheep Wool = Wool Thread (Caps at 35-cloth)
Continuing this process, i would continue to farm and once I had at least 3 Wool Threads i would synth:
Earth Crystal + 3 Wool Thread = Wool Cloth (caps at 37-cloth)
Through all of this - i got skill up's on EVERY step. My leather got to the cap of 4. My cloth went up on both the wool threads and the wool cloth recipes.
I sold the Wool Cloth for 55,000 per stack.
So, in conclusion. This is merely an example of how, if you plan ahead you can - make money, level crafting, and also more importantly, utilize all the space in your inventory - as wool cloth, thread and sheep wool all stack. So, synthing the sheepskins took care of the problem of them taking up all that space. Maximizing my time in the field and giving me longer before I had to come back and dump my schtuff.
This not trying or meant to be a guide, simply something to hopefully help some people THINK about what might be the best idea for THEM to achieve multiple things at the same time. Find what works best for you and try to think outside the box.

Good job, both niobia and SniperSixtySix ^^
Oh and:
Haha, no need to apologize, I'm level 72 and I'm still completely clueless so level does not necessarily indicate knowledge :P

*please keep in mind this part of the post is meant for at least Lv.50+ characters*
How much can you really make off a couple of wild onions? lol
I'd suggest that once you get a bit of capital you start mining. Use your beginners profits and already mined ores to skill up smithing to 20~, goldsmithing 25~, alchemy 30~, clothcraft 10~
Now, at level 60+ I can take a 2hr mining trip and turn all materials into AH fodder and make at least 250k average. Make 4 trips a week, only 8-9 hours of work and your profit adds up fast.
*This section could be completed by anyone over Lv.10*
Even if you have to start small, take about 18k and buy yourself 2 brass pots and a pair of tree cuttings off the AH. Plant on the Waxing Crescent moon phase on Iceday and check at least once per day. I prefer to check it only on Iceday's. Now there are two feeding times... overlook both and just continue to check it at least once daily until about 2 weeks later it says it's ready to harvest, harvest them on Full Moon windsday and you'll get from 2~4 saplings guarenteed. There you go, just made some money! Continue to buy more cheap brass pots and plant more and more cuttings every 2 weeks. (Best to do this on a mule, since travel at low level is the *****) Say you buy 2 more new pots every two week cycle, you could ultimately earn up to 300K by the time you start growing from 10 pots. And make an average of 100K/10 pots every 2 weeks from nothing but examining plants once per day ^-^ pretty good change for someone who has probably only just gained Lv.30 by the time this operation is on it's feet.

im glad i saw this thread it is really useful. i have no idea why trolls would rate down this thread. i think you should post in the admin forum like that ace guy did and get the troll banned. im new and i really found this to be helpful.
if i want to do smithing, what level do i need to be to do mining because that ghelsba mining area kills me and i cant afford the powders and oils.

You can mine in Zeruhn at a pretty low level. Not sure of what you would dig up there. Palborough would work afterwards followed by gusgen.
Another option would be farming a high priced selling ingredient for another craft and selling that to fund ingredients for your own. Silk is always a good source. Be warned, smithing is one of the more expensive crafts to take up and there can be awhile before you start earning a profit. Learning what beastman items can be desynthed for your craft helps. Also, some of the items that you catch when fishing can help as well. I got a few of the lower levels on gold and blacksmithing by desynthing copper rings and cleaning up rusty gear.
Nio, everytime I go to harvest for cloth ingredients I always run into people beating me to the points. :D I have the worst luck. But yeah, I usually do turn a nice profit when I do that.
Chocobo digging has also brought me in some gil, though I don't do it nearly enough to be able to give advice on it. It's more of a toy for me right now.

I remember nitrogelatin saying something about chocobo digging being really profitable.
I also would level all my jobs to 12, you get stacks of beechips and what have you. it is a little harder when you are lower level but not impossible, Fire Crystals drop easily in Ghelsba a couple stacks of those along with whatever else you get is enough to support you until lvl 20. (unless you are just dying for a pair of LL Boots.)
Ive found the best time to hunt LL is when its the first few days of an event because everyone is doing the event.

Not to mention once you can travel a little more freely, buying things at npcs that are only available in one place and selling them at an ah in another city. People are often willing to pay a little more at the ah then from the npc to save the time of having to travel.
**on a side note I did just report the karma camper since it appears they again went through trying to - off all of my posts including ones that help newer players.
**crafting/farming
a friend who was new made her gil of making Chocobo fletchings in San'D'Oria. they sell very well due to the woodworking guild. Mining/Smithing is fun but while you are a lower level it might be best to level a craft that wont cause you to delvl and sells quite easily. Try making Chocobo fletchings & Sheeps wool. Both will make you enough gil to survive.
