The methods that noone talks about.... : FFXI General Discussions

find out what everyone wants and see if you can get it for cheap and sell it to the masses for higher. and find not so smart ppl who price 50k+ items in th AH for only 10k to get first on the list. why do you think someone posted the idea to start putting everything in the AH for one gil so it would be the first to sell? so they would be the first one to reap the rewards of some dupe who actually did it. so. check prices and always try a little lower than the recent history price because MOST of the time someone priced it for cheaper.

you know, when i was helping a friend get his kazham keys in palb. mines, i ran accross a Lv35ish war that sent me a /tell *please stop trainging all these guys, i'm killing them for gil, i get about 25-50 each and it adds up!* ahhh the days when 5k was alot!

Also, the buy low sell hi AH thing works extremely well, but it's like playing the stock market. I have a ls buddy that buys astral rings low, like 10 or so of them, waits a month or so and resells them for 100-200k profit each. There's 1mil-2mil total, but like i said, it's playing the stock market and hard to do.

I have found that if you just put random stuff in your bazzar at inflated prices people will sometimes buy them. I was in a party and had two phlanx rings in my bazzar (10k on AH) for 50k and some random guy came up and bought them each.

Now I have also made a casino and make millions of gil to date (around 12 million) and all i do is sit on my behind and shout in jeuno.

FYI if your going to do this, you need enough money to get you through the streaks of good luck people seem to have.

Another way of making gil without having the whole of your server hate you is to just sell food in valkrum dunes at inflated prices. when meat mithkabobs were about 5k each i was able to sell them for around 800 each.

Yea people would complain but they would still buy them. all you do is leave your computer/ps2 on durring the night and (I think) about 5 stacks would sell a night.

I hope this is good enough to get me a premium subscription. probably not but always good to hope ^^ if i posted in wrong place plz tell me where i'm supposed to post

Gardening Elemental Ores is undoubtably(sp?) one of the better ways to make good cash but its a tedious task and takes time and patience (like 30+ RL days per plant i think) and the needed ingredients (Tree Saplings) are quite expensive nowadays, since people now know what they are used for On unicorn they are going for 250k+ a stack in Jueno AH, but then the elemental ores all go for around 400k (give or take 50k)

ENM and BCNM are good ways to make money....i jstu hate getting the seals

AH camping

I've never been a fan of BCNM's, since you could spend the time to get the seals and killing it and not get anything worth while..

Ive also found if you dont have the money/time for Elemental Ores, Buy a stack of Grain Seeds (around 30k a stack), 10 Earthen Flowerpots, and a stack of Dark Crystals (or a clusters or 10 individual, depends on which is cheapest...)

- Put the pots in your moghouse
- Plant the seeds on Watersday
- Feed on Watersday
- Harvest on a Iceday

This usually yeilds me 4+ stacks of TaruTaru Rice and those sell for 17k+ on my sever (Make sure to check your servers AH prices on these first!) and since I dont examine on a certain day or plant/feed/harvest on certain moon cycles Im sure if you do it a few times you'll learn the best times to do those.
