My farming method! : FFXI Submissions

My little ffxi farming guide:

In this simple guide i will tell you how many people make hundreds of thousands of gil a day....simple farming! Sure there are a lot of farming guides out there but i have never seen this method mentioned in any of them. This does require a level 75 job that can solo decently, and theif sub is recomended.

First thing you want to do is head to Castle Zvahl, which is located in Xarcabard at D-7. Once inside start heading west following the path until you reach the intersection at G-8. Go north here, following the path until you come to the stairs at F-7. Travel down the stairs, working your way south and west to F-8. Now travel north until you see some stairs on your left. Go up the stairs and you will see a round hole in the floor. Around the hole you will notice 4 sets of torches. Go to the torches on the Soutwestern side, stand between them, and drop down to the ledge below you. From this point on you will need Sneak and Invisible. Follow the corridor passed the Ahriman into the room at H-7. In the center of this room there is another hole in the floor. Fall through the hole, this will be your hunting grounds.

There are several Demons here, all check "Decent Challenge" to a level 75 player. These will be your prey. Dread Demons drop several black mage scrolls, Gore Demons drop yagudo freezers, Judicator demons drop shellbusters and Stygian demons drop Orc piercers. Each of these items have a very considerate drop rate. Now here is the best part! You wont be putting any of this stuff on the auction house, it is a gold mine selling them to any npc where your fame is the highest.

Prices to npc:
Yagudo Freezer: 5321g
Shellbuster: 4018
Orc Piercer: 8558
Scrolls: varies

I have made up to 168k an hour with this method, which is some nice gil with todays economy Duoing with my fiance as 75blu/thf and 75rdm/whm we can go through the demons at a pretty good speed. Hope this guide helps you all make some gil!

Can members say yay or nay to this so we may give tu bucks and/or premium. If you nay the submission remember to include as to why.

To make that much money per hour, you'd need to get 28 drops in an hour... which is about a drop every 2ish minutes....

I call !@#$%^&* on the high amount of gil... seeing as the drop rate... even for a Th4 THF can be nowhere that high.. and 2 minutes per demon with travel around the damn castle is absurd.

Duoing... still un-plasable. Sure you could off the demons quickly.. but your drop rate will NOT be that high. There are 3~ demons per room. Changing rooms takes 5~ minutes. Killing a demon takes anywhere from 1~3 minutes depending on it's drain rate.

You're probably looking at 20~30k per hour.

Nay.

Earlier in the week, I was hunting for a DRK testimony SOLO as THF75 w/ TH3. I killed 8~ Gore Demons and only got 1 Yagudo Freezer.



Edit: And oh, did I mention the 16 minute repop per demon?

There are 3 demons in each of the upper sections and 15 below, and the drop rates ARE good, combined with all said above and demon horns that get Ah'd, dont try it if you dont wanna make gil idc, more for me

i use this method and it works... there usually some nins or other thfs out there soloing these mobs for the same reason when i go...

horns+npc weapons+seals+kindredseals+coffer key to pop and sell ballad2....

its pretty much win all way around

Off topic question, do you play or are planning to play Age of Conan, or World of Warcraft?

Edit: Actually, This will effect my next reply which will be on topic.

who is that question directed too?

as for me i played WoW a little bit... it was a diff type of game more fast paced action oriented but in the endgame it was lacking alot of things... WoW is fun for a little while and doesnt really require much thinking or strategy involved... sure pvp is fun every now and then but it got really old very fast...

i never looked into age of conan and i'm not planning on playing that game... few ingame friends of mine have tried it and they all came back with negative reviews

commen knoledge, nay

cheeew, explain to me how this is common knowlege, because i think your just pissed because i nayed your "job change resets job ability" because that is in fact the oldest trick in the book

if your lvl 75 you should know of this farm spot, best to farm here preferably /nin or might have a tough time. can use treasure hunter here if your a thf or nin/thf though, & yeah you hated on my exploit becuase it was common knoledge to you, just like this farm spot was to me so yeah nay, iv known about this spot for years now.

tehehehe such kiddiness!
