Actually, if I may say something (at least on Asura it is like this), any and all Sky/HNM shells that do sell/split are looked down upon (especially Sky shells). I'm not saying all shells are like that, but the two major known ones on Asura like that (VikingSP and Legends) both have horrendous reputations. Also Sky is hell for a blm without some of the drops it gives/Iqgira set. Also, the profits in Sky counting farming pop item NMs makes the gil/hour horrendous.

If you want to farm Uragnite shells (drop off of Coralline Uragnites LvL 32-35 in Purongono like you said), it is vitally important you go as /whm or bring antidotes. The poison is like 15-25 hp per tick (can't remember exactly, sorry^^). These guys have two stages. One stage is when they are standing up, and not hidden under their shell. Your nukes and melee do full damage during this stage. When you do enough damage or after a certain amount of time they will hide under their shells and nukes and melee will be resisted (melee for 3 or so, lol, Blizzard III for 256). They have a regen here, and do an AoE poison move. Go ahead and sleep them and rest while they are shelled up. Once they stand, aspir and Thunder III again. Drop rate is fairly bad, but if you sub thf and bring antidotes, you will stand a much better chance.

Other possibilities for Blms your level are leveling low level jobs and BCNMing with the seals you get from it. Beastmaster is great, take it to level 10, charm {Easy Prey} pets and have them fight other eps, while you farm eps w/ axe melee. Use the seals to BCNM40/60, 60 has better drops, but obviously takes more seals.

Once you hti 73 a more "disreputable" moneymaker is getting a static of 5 blms who do Operation Desert Storm (KSNM30) with a random 6th person who normally wouldn't do ODS. The Blackmages usually charge 50% of all drops over 1 million, and give the other 50% to the melee. Takes maybe 1hour per run (you can take multiple melee and have them wait) and you can make easily up to 5mil per hour with some luck. However it can backfire and you'll make 100k or so.

Lastly, don't ever forget you can always use the simple farming as blm/thf, jugner forest is good, farm beetles at the pop nm area.

Feel free to send me a PM if you want me to elaborate.

Some Sky LS gives their BLM's V claw, because they usually need nothing. Except some abj.

Wow, thank god for not being on Asura. As for my sky/HNMLS, certain things are sold and certain things are given to LS members. We went on a run with serket in my LS, 10 claims and 7 drops on ring. Other items were sold and split while the rings were given to whm with good standing in the LS. Reason being that whm lean on thier MP more than any other MP user.

In short, Jeuno NM drops are sold and split, unless a job really needs the item. Sky drops are sold and put in slush fund, used to buy cursed items, and sometimes sold off to help LS members out with gil.

Splitting gil helps the player out in everything they do, keeping everything only helps them with the job/s they use for sky/hnm.

Also, once I get 1 more abj. I'm done for a long time in sky drops. What is my reason for showing up once I get that cursed togi? Gil.


Same thing in Dynamis, once a player get the item they need from an area or can't get an item from an area what keeps them comming back? the currency. And we all know that Dynamis currency means gil. Weather it's gil saved while working on a relic item or gil made by selling a item it all boils down to gil.
