Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

[Ellipses]

Re: Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

Since the guide's generally bloody to begin with, you might want to add bird blood from the leeches on the beaches in Buburimu Peninsula. The drop rate is ridiculous, and if you get bored or there's too much competition, there are crawlers and goblins and occasional elementals. Mid to high 30s, depending on the job. (For me, it was WAR/THF, but I can't remember what level I started. Some of the leeches are still EP at 38.)

Re: Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

Damn that guide is good, too good though I say!

I mean, heck that is nice o.0

(ohhh, didn't know about *that* item!)

Haven't really checked it all out yet, but some easy stuff I did during the low levels was to farm Yagudo Necklaces, desynth them into grass thread, synth grass cloth and sell the thread/cloth. I also made and sold Antidotes, Bronze Ingots, and did some oddball harvesting.

There was something else I did too, but I can't remember anymore. Farming crystals is always good.

So in keeping with the format...

Item: Yagudo Necklaces
Location West/East Sarutabaruta, Giddeus
Target Yagudo
Level 5+

General Comment Use a wind crystal to desynth the necklaces into grass thread, use 3 grass thread + earth crystal to synth grass cloth. It's a very low level weaving synth so you should be just fine with it.

Pashhow is a great place to farm, but it can get crowded sometimes. I haven't been back there in awhile though, so I can't say how it is now.

Re: Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

This is how messed up my server is. You are actually better off selling the grass thread than synthing it into grass cloth

And it is a lightning crystal to desyth the necklace, right?

Another option is to just farm the necklaces, and sell them in your bazaar in Windy Woods next to the mithra that you trade the necklaces to for fame. One person's laziness is your gain.

Re: Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

I used to do tiger's teeth alot but it started to annoy me because Tigers are basicly overcamped on my server(mostly by legit farmers)

Nope, that's one of the few wind crystal desynths out there.

Re: Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

I'm pretty sure yag necklaces can use either. Wind gives grass stuff, lightning gives some kind of ingot, bronze iirc

Re: Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

Thanks Ellipses, I'll give you credit on the guide~

Bird Blood

Updated Guide with Ellipses entry~

I'll look into everyone elses entrys, keep them coming ^^d

Don't be afraid to spill your secrets.

I actually got a /tell in game someone thanking me for my guide and asking if coming out with the guide has hurt my income at all, i told him being at 100 cooking on Selphiie and having farmed the majority of my FFXI life i am pretty much financially secure to enjoy my playtime in game without worrying about gil anymore.

Re: Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

Thank you for the guide, it will come in handy when I get a bit higher in lv.

Boyahda Moss
Location: Pashhow Marshlands, Zi'Tah, Boyahda Tree
Target(s): Goobbues (any and all)
Suggested Level: Varies with area. Pashhow is probably 35+ for ease.

These can be great. A stack AHs for a quick 10k, but you can also trade them to Melyon in Selbina for 600g per moss. A stack will get you slightly less than AH, but the quest raises fame in Sandy, Bastok, and by proxy, Jeuno. Great for building fame and making gil.

Re: Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

(is from Hades)

Centurio X-I Quicksands Caves

Drops plenty of gil, some scrolls (Stonega II is rare but sells for 100k!) and other normal antica drops.

While camping him, I usually clear out the Antica in the room for rotten meat (worthless, really, but NPCs for like 10 gil so hang onto it if you have space), Antican Robes, which desynth into cotton thread and cloth depending on the crystal you use, and Antican pauldrons which sell for about 1-2k. (Also desynthable but much higher level). You need to be 75 to solo him, and even that's kinda rough if you get too many links, but I do fine with RDM/BLM.

Also while camping you can take out the spiders in the room for webs (drop rate is sheer suck though I've never gotten one) and the worms for ores and flint stones.

Re: Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

Updated the guide with some repeatable quests, ill get around to getting in your entrys:

Fear Of The Dark I
Fear Of The Dark II

Re: Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

Selphiie, I'd like to personally thank you for this wonderfully crafted guide. Unfortunately, personal thank yous are hard to do as face-to-face contact is a little... awkward over the internet.

Anyhow, you get my sentiment. Thank you.
