Derf if you played on Odin I would give you gil to entertain me.

Also: lol@the derail my steal ls banks comment caused.

Not sure how this will work for anyone else but it works for me. All the gil making posts thus far are obviously good ways and probably the most efficient ways to make gil however you would be suprised of the amount of hidden gil there is in the game based off of others mistakes. I started out making good gil by buying cheap from bazaars and re-selling at cost. Of course you would have to have good knowledge of what sells and what dont so you dont screw yourself over. Its basically investing. The one where i mentioned the mistakes is where some people will list an item on the AH or even bazaar and forget to put that extra "zero", (maybe they was drunk, or lag, or whatever etc..) but I have made millions in the past just from this. Bought a behemoth pop for 130k when im sure it was supposed to be listed at 1.3mil, found a blitz ring for 5k in sandy pre 75 cap and resold it in jeuno for 625k etc.. My point is, there is gil out there to be made. Just look for what is selling, and always "bid cheap" first.

Cruor 101:

For a single player, it's not that great. It's also impossible to get a substantial amount of cruor per hour purely solo.

It's about 250,000G per hour on average for a single player in a party. It's still good, but eh...You have to rely on other people.

I don't rely on anyone but myself, I farm cruor whenever I feel like it:

The kicker?

I average 100-240k cruor per hour. 100 if I am by myself with no help, 200+ if I have a train puller. I use two DD who have Ukon+Vereth with constant Marchx2/Haste.

I have 5 characters.

500,000 ~ 1,200,000 cruor per hour

1,295,000G ~ 3,108,000G per hour

600,000G ~ 1,500,000G per hour is more accurate, as it takes nearly as long to exchange for blinkers on 5 characters.

For example, 1.2m cruor x5 in one day and 800k cruor x5 the next day. Two days of exchanging 10,000 cruor into blinkers = 25,000,000G.




Still, I prefer it compared to other various methods of mass producing gil. People may be intimidated by exchanging that much cruor on 5 characters. It's very monotonous and boring, however it's totally worth the effort it takes.

Cleaving = Shouting, recording customers, trading gil and relying on public. Fishing = Risk, 20m+ investment (Lu's/Ebisu fish), 95k GP x5, Sinking and or goddamn minnows.

I have considered the Ebisu route, however only 1/5 of my characters have an Ebisu and the other 4/5 are below level 20 fishing.

Please don't unless yout actually gonna play it right. Dyna BST's make us all look bad then you get ignorant opinions like those found here. That's why I despise dynamis only BST's and their perle clad ilk. Any NIN THF BLU PUP/THF can do dynamis just fine.

this is the point when u open ah.com on a laptop or something if u can and check what items u can make the money on and see if u can find them for cheap,but like the poster i am quoting said there is good hidden ways to make gil i know a few of them my self but sorry not sharing all my tricks to make money.

I wouldnt call it tricks these days considering the enormous ways gil has been handed to us now thanks to SE, I consider it more of thinking outside the box on ways to just make extra gil laying around. Bazaar's can be checked while standing around waiting on that one shout you may be looking for and make some gil. And I highly doubt any so called tricks you have will make anyone a multi-millionare since we all know about blinkers, dyna, and crafting in which we can make ourselves multi-millionares.

Maybe it's just my luck, but I've personally gotten way more gil off NMS like rex and even akvan/pil/kaggen then I have off Qilin. Heavy metal pouches just seem so uncommon. :/ There's been times in rounds of 4-5 that not a single person in the entire alliance got a metal pouch. I've personally gone in stretches of 40~ fights without seeing one drop.

However, it's really rare when I don't get at least 1 single plate from a round of 4-5 other vnms. Vast majority of the time I walk out with 2/5 or 3/5 or even 5/5 plates from boxes. Add into that riftcinder and riftdross and it seems like more overall gil compared to trying to farm pouches. Again, it might just be my luck, so take that with a grain of salt.

Also forgot to add, as completely stupid as it sounds, standing near the start of the line of bazaars in upper jeuno gives you a huge advantage compared to down near the auction house/houses shops, etc. I'd avoid standing near the GS, a lot of the time people don't even check there.

As silly as it sounds, I've sold things that I know for a fact people further in the zone have in their bazaars for cheaper, just by standing "at the front of the line". Never underestimate peoples laziness :P Yes, some people will check EVERY bazaar to make sure they're getting the best price, but a good majority of the people will just buy the first item they see without checking more bazaars for different prices.

Rex/Ig-alima/Morta/Bismarck all give a crapton of cruor. Spamming ig-alima would probably be your best bet since the rift is the easiest to get to (if people don't have the warp).


Assuming you have some semblance of a life outside FFXI, you'd be better off farming dynamis with your 5 characters than farming cruor. If you have time to do both (and I'm talking about soloing/duoing on your characters in dynamis separately) then... well... never mind.

You sound like you're upset by Kiaru post. If you're so concern towards BST perle, how about just quit the game or stop caring what other players do on the game, and what gear they wear.

Life is pretty simple.

This is the exact reason why I farm cruor. I work a ton of overtime, usually between 50-70 hours per week. My job already makes it hard enough to have a life, luckily an old friend from high school moved in next door to me. Even better, as a result I met his neighbor and she's smokin hot and pretty down to earth. ;)

It isn't really possible that I could solo each, even so, that's 10 hours of Dynamis per day if I could. Assuming they could each pull at least 300 currency, that's roughly only 12mil for a ton of time involved. 12mil/10hours is pretty weak at 1.2mil per hour.

It's a good suggestion, I have farmed Dynamis while I upgraded Aegis. It was nice to immediately pocket some currency. However, it was never a large contribution compared to our other methods at the time. It's just unrealistic.

Get home at 8PM after a 12 hour day and have to return to work at 8AM the next day. Farm cruor hard for 2 hours and earn in between 3-4mil gil.

How is it possible to farm 3-4mil from Dynamis in 2 hours? Unless I'm that Hindu god Kali with all the arms, I can't possibly control all 5 farming their own mobs at the same time.

Refer to my avatar, please.

It's the fact of the matter it makes ME look bad. It's not just her comments either, lots of people basically saying because I main BST I'm a retard that could'nt beat Pong. Why is it people seem to think BST is game skill -1? Because of Abyssea leeched perle BST that still mainhand a rune axe and never learned the job beyond level 12 when they either SMN burned or gusgen mines GOV to 30.
BTW: Love the standard issue "just quit".

LOL Awesome

wtf you can beat pong?

Turn down the difficulty.

just ignore them, or yeah... quit if your going to be ignorant.

I'm open to any ideas of how you can possibly make 25mil, at your own leisure, in only 2 days. Frivolously with five characters or efficiently with only one or a few.

Farming Pandemonium Wardens with five characters would get you much more than 25 million and can be done in two days. Running back and forth and waiting for ???'s to repop is about as frivolous as you can get.

a 5 man PW kill? how? Doesn't it have like 18 forms? lol

25mil is 10mil cruor doing blinkers. Less actually but lets go with fuzzy math numbers for the sake of easy/lazy math.
10mil / 5 = 2mil a character.
A decent Cruor farming pt should run around 200k Cruor/hr. Doesn't actually need 5 people really 2 DDs and a healer works but then 2 just sit on their ***. Oh shout for a key *** and you don't even have to account for Cruor burnt keys for boxes.
2mil / 200k = 10 hours
10 hours / 2 = 5 hours a day of cruor pt.

Or better yet do 10 hours on both days and make 50 million.

2 dd 1healer 1brd 1PLD for add holding(Swaps to SMN after last form pops), have brd zombie it while you wait on job change. Have someone /thf if you care about TH, or bring a THF mule. Tbh you could probably substitute the second DD for a THF as long as they don't suck.

Cruor burning with a lot of characters is excellent gil if you are lazy though, I'd just be worried that doing that much npcing would get you flagged for RMT.

no PD prior to all the other forms? da fuq? I've never tried PW but it always sounded sound at 75.

Did 3 million Cruor at once (took a couple of hours with short afks here and there) that was built up on a mule and never got banned so I doubt that's an issue. Then again that mule actually bought and sold stuff on the AH and didn't just give all the gil to my main.

Had a friend Macone who boxed up beast got gear for it before playing it once he hit 95. Had no issues playing it killing all the so called challenges on beast.. it's not a very hard job. Just like any job... player intelligence of the game > job
