Money making tips :)

[Tivul]

I was wondering if any of you guys might be able to provide me with some good money making tips and/or strategies for low levels. I'm currently level 11, hoping to be 12 soon. Anything that will help me to buy necessities like spells and such from the AH, which appear to be rather expensive. I've already begun selling everything I can find (crystals and the like), I was just wondering if it'd be worth my time to look into fishing or harvesting.

Fishing. Little worms are like 6 gil. A rod is 70 or so gil.

A stack of 12 moat carps go for like 2,500 gil.

Easily fished up at Bastok Markets.

Also, the AH is not the only source for spells. NPCs can sell them as well, usually much cheaper than the AH. Also, some are quested easily too.

Check www.ffxiclopedia.com and search for your spell. On the page it will have how to obtain, and the approximate price of the spell.

As far as farming, at level 11 there isn't a whole lot worth your time. Bee hive chips and silk threads (from crawlers near windurst) will be the most profitable at the moment. But remember that any drop you get that doesn't sell for much on the AH can just be sold to a NPC for a little bit of gil as well. Any little bit helps.

Also, Yagudos near windy can drop Yagudo necklaces that sell for about 1k each in windy, as they are used for to achieve Norg fame.

Good luck.

Sell everything. Stack them and sell them. Keep signet up and sell crystals. This really is your best bet.

Fishing takes a lot of patience, but is easy and the costs of materials to start with are low. You might find it to be a good addition to what you do now.

The only problem with the Yagudos and such is that I'm in San d'Oria - nonetheless, thank you both for the advice.

Take a road trip and vacation in Windurst for a bit.

Re: Money making tips

While 11 is a little low to roam the world, it wouldn't hurt to do a little traveling. There is a low level Notorious Monster in West Sarabauta (sp?) that drops a wand that gives +2hMP.

So you could go on a little adventure, farm a little on the way, and come back with a new shiney stick. But, if you're like me, you want to get leveling right away, so do what every you enjoy at the moment, the time to farm and collect shineys will come later.

Hm, well after running through La Theine to get to Valkurm, I think I may just stay in this immediate area for a bit and try to level - thanks a ton for the advice folks.
