Hey Buddy, Can You Spare Some Gil?

In The Red
Since my last post I have been still trying to get into EXP parties as much as I can. I am also starting to farm again. Using my alchemy level (68) to craft low level synth consumables I have been able to make a good living. People often wonder, and some even ask, how some people can buy 1-20 million dollar items. The answer is: FARM YOUR BUTT OFF! I realize there is a humongous real world market for gil but for the purposes of this post we will pretend that doesn't exist for a little while.

There are many things that are easy to accumulate large quantities of, and quickly too. They just take some exploring and time to find. I strongly suggest you level THF to at least 15 for the Treasure Hunter ability. This ability allows you to "find" more things on kills, or "drops" as they are commonly referred to as. Some things that drop like rain with TH will hardley ever drop without it. I have tested this myself. You also want a main job high enough to kill fast. It should only take one or two hits with a melee weapon to kill for optimal results. Then persistence. Good luck.

To boost your profit potential, level a craft to skill level sixty or more. Just remember you can only have forty levels over sixty before you start using your forty total high skill levels. Fishing skill levels over sixty are not counted in the forty high levels you are allowed. Mixing persistent farming like with a craft recipe of a consumable you can HQ on a fairly consistent basis should equal large amounts of gil.

Anyways, I am two thousand experience points from 69 and in debt 400,000 gil. That is why I am farming now. Many Thanks to my pals for the loans. I am working on it right now. There goes the lunch whistle. I got to get back to work.
