easy way to obtain miner gear....or make gil : FFXI General Discussions

I've dicovered that people in bastok like to mine and then synth. (maybe because they HAVE a mine and after they mine it they can synth it into something better.) now how do you profit off miners and synther's alike? you sell what they need. pickaxes and ore to be percise. in my world (bismark) you can buy a set of pickaxes from stores located in most (or all) towns for 2k or 2.2k but turn around and sell them 10 min later at the A.H. for 5k or more. which brings a net profit of 3k or more. a little math and you get 21k+ every set of 7 you sell in the A.H. after you have made enough profit to do what you wish. like buying all of the miners gear and mining out zinc , silver or mythril ore you can even get more gil. re-sell price for ores on my server are.
zinc= 3k+ silver=5-10k mythril=10k+
mining doesn't take as long as it might seem. I even sell my ores and pickaxes in my bazaar and wait till morning waking up to over 50k-60k+ on AVERAGE! and way under pricing my goods! since all servers are different you should check the prices before proceeding.

I even used this method in juno when I had to get the chocobo licence with only 1k of gil! of course in juno the pickaxes sold a little slower but I made enough to buy WHATEVER i wanted in town! and in less than 2 hours! omfg What else can you sell for more just by STANDING there and not moving!?!?!

eventually after you've gained more fame the prices drop DRAMATICALLY and thus the profit will increase. even more so if you have done the gobbie bag quests to obtain more holding space.


hope this is a help!

Some scrolls in the game are better to buy from NPCs and sell on AH. Theres level1 scrolls sold in sandy for about 25g and sold in jeuno for 5-10k.

this sucks, best way to make money is make a !@#$%^&* mithra with some stupid anime name or chinese sounding name "boobaling" or some !@#$%^&*, put a slutty comment in ur bazaar get a rich bf for a few days, farm 10 mil outa him and your set, or if you got enough game do it to a female. whenever she says spend time / come visit me, giver the old im farming! owned ~
