Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

The 3 types of Gigas in Aby LaThein drop pop items that each sell for 20-40k. If you dedicate like 20 min to killing them... you can make about 100k.

*takes notes*

I guess I know where I'm headed instead of Sea Serpent's Grotto tonight.

Also: Need to figure out how to farm dark rings effectively on Red Mage. My PDT set needs some love.

You wana earn fast money? I'll tell you exactly what to farm.

High Quality Black Tiger hides off the tigers near Flux 4 in Abyssea U-Range. 20k

High Quality Scorp Claws from Akrabs near Flux 3 in Abyssea Altepa 25k

Audumbla Hides from (NM) Audumbla in Abyssea U Range (easy to kill... takes a long time tho) 60-100k

Gigas items (A Massive Armband, Trophy Shield and some sock... exact names escape me) in Abyssea LaThein 20-40k each

Tiny Morbol Vine from the Morbols in the center of Abyssea Konstadt Highlands 20k

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

One of the nice things about having Nin or Pup is that you can build all lights. And in hero areas there are some pricey gold chest items you can make a big profit off.
Altepa – King Tiger hide
Ule – Siss fragment (from the NM golem)
Grab - …not sure…I think the Puk item for hydra NM?

even some of the lesser NM pop items sell for a good price

The 3 types of Gigas in Aby LaThein drop pop items that each sell for 20-40k. If you dedicate like 20 min to killing them... you can make about 100k.

Step 1: Get the 3 items and put them in AH
Step 2: Get 3 more items and put them in delivery box sending to self or mule (do not take out of delivery box)
Step 3: End or repeat step 2 until you are finished

and people who are too lazy to farm them buy them for outragious prices.

I wouldn’t say they are ‘lazy’, but more or less on the same boat as us. Working on an Emph weapon and saving time by purchasing instead of farming. And they have a decent amount of gil anyway so they feel justified spending on pops for a good weapon. If you can part with the gil, its much more efficient.

Only problem I’ve come across while soloing (on nin or pup) is it takes a while to build azure, pearl and amber lights, then keep up with TEs. Those shiny mobs don’t give the same numeric amount for each light. And believe it or not, pearl is the most annoying to build if you don’t have a t1 vnm pop.

Lately I’ve done ‘ok’ with Nin/whm using MM/Ultimate/Apoc for alieon edge(sp) spamming. MM keeps my mp up for haste/cure/stone skin along with Int for damage, ultimate helps with damage as well and apoc for getting 100 TP faster…and to raise if I get too over confident.

I highly suggest going with a partner of some sort though. Makes things much easier.

Might not work since it’s probably a long difficult solo (if even solable). And it’s not 100% drop.

For Ule, I would suggest getting some amber lights and looking for Sisyphus fragments in gold chests (about 150k on cerb).
I've come across 3 or 4 of them one time while waiting for the vnms to pop

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

I'm adding Stiffened Tentacle 30k+ to that list, although I remember the drop rate being crappy the last time I tried farming it.

Dunno if I can take the NM. It's got increased movement speed and if it's like everything else it's immune to anything that makes it stop moving. Without Shadows it's pretty futile to try standing toe-to-toe on a lot of NMs I've found. But I need gil to get the scroll to have shadows to farm the gil ARGH CIRCLES!

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Oh another easy method. If you’ve been doing Dom Ops at all (and purchased all the emph armor already), try to get some augmented weapons.

I purchased 40 daggers today and got a good one, infact best i've seen on anyone thus far
Yataghan with DMG: +8 (43 total) and Crit rate +3%

NPC’d the remaining 39 at 6,800 each. 265,200 profit.

... why you gotta cut me?

I've gotten Crit rate or DMG+ .. not both on one... Keeps giving me Viper Bite bonus'. I mean... really? Viper Bite? Yeah.. maybe I coulda used that like, oh idk, 60 levels ago or so.

Holy shit! I finally have something to spend all those dominion notes on. This is excellent.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

I've been turning in my trophies from NMs trying to get my hands on a pair of Spry Tights with +1-5% Ninja Tool Expertise.

Those items too... can be NPC'd for around 6500-7000 each. I forgot all about that.

Also... out of 50 trophies traded... I still havent seen a single % of NTE. I'm starting to get pissed at it. Are certain augments only possible in certain zones? Am i doing something wrong or just... unlucky?

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Spry Tights with +1-5% Ninja Tool Expertise

Got a pair of those long ago at 4%. Held onto them for a while but just dropped them in a culling of my inventories.

I didn't think you could NPC trophy items? I tried a while ago and it wouldn't let me. Did they change that ?

Am i doing something wrong

Tell me a time you don't do something wrong, Ygg?

.

oh I agree. I did have a few DMG:+5/Crit 3-5% ones…but I went with +8/+3%. I still have another 120k dominion points which I think comes out to 48 more daggers. Trying to get a DMG+8, Crit +5% if it exists lol.

I don’t know the secret tbh. I’ve heard keep as many as you can since you can’t get the same augments works (which I personally think is incorrect but whatev)

I have traded well over 75 1st place trophies for a good whm body. And just recently I got one with Refresh AND cure potency +7%. My bud has Refresh and cure +11% which seems like the coolest piece ever. Shitty thing about that though is you cant NPC the bodies…gotta toss em.

Holy shit! I finally have something to spend all those dominion notes on. This is excellent.

Heh, pretty much. Only other thing I spend those points on were Shades for my double atk h2h weapon (for ToM)…well that and emph armor.

Ohhhh….forget daggers lol.
Where exactly do you get these tights?

What zone did you get them in? In case its a factor somehow...

I'm pretty sure you can... although I could be wrong...

Any of the trophy trading NPCs.... I do all my trading in Grauberg.

[Romyro]

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

i could be wrong but i dont think you can get the same items in every zone. i think each zone only offers 2 or 3 specific sets.

for instance pretty sure the Whm body is Ule only.

Augmented weapons as well, daggers are only in Graub

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Well then I have had some crap luck it seems. I guess I'll just go buck-wild tomorrow with the pants and hope for the best.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Not true at all. I've gotten the same crap augments multiple times in the same session of exchanging trophies. I got so many Magical Attk +2 (or Acc, idr) while going for my BLU STR feet last night it was laughable.

My bud has Refresh and cure +11%

My LS leader has something very similar. He got his really early on too.

What zone did you get them in? In case its a factor somehow...

Sorry, Idr. Could be any of the three. I want to say it was Grauberg or Uleg though.

Ass...

[Yygdrasil]

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Maybe I'll mix it up and try Uleg this time. I havent tried anywhere besides Grauberg yet... 50 trophies later *sigh*
