  • Bst vs. Thi vs. RDM for Gil Farming?

    Just out of curiosity how well do Bst's stack up against other jobs for Gil Farming? For I believe Thieves are prob. the bets gil makers but they are still PT dependant. As well I've heard that hunting NM's is where the real money is at... So does the Solo ability of BST more valuable than the treasure hunter/extra gil the thief gains.... I also included RDM for I've also been told that they are good soloers

    For my eventual goal so to play Ranger or Ninja, with both being gil intensive characters gil producing is a concern for myself.

    There are a lot of mitigating factors here.

    This is a thread where the issue was already discussed a little bit:

    Thfs can coffer hunt for decent amounts of gil (I think), and RDM are some of the best soloers. BST can be difficulty gil wise to solo in some places unless you have an appropriate pet to tame. If you use a funguar pet you are paying 800 gil or so per pet for at most 15-20 minutes.

    The thing about BST really is you can solo like a full PT except you get all the items to yourself. I made about 280,000 gil going from 55>56 in one particular levelling spot, and this was killing stuff that gave 41-61 exp per kill, for about 800 exp per hour.

    Also when soloing BST you get a ton of the BCNM coins. I have gotten over 40 BCNM seals (yellow ones) in one week before; a level 39 thief and 38 dragoon on the server both had under 70 coins from their total time playing. BCNMs are a good way to make gil even with the diminishing returns on the lower level BCNMs. I also have 240 of the fei'yin seals (BCNM30) and I have 6 more levels to gain until I can really participate in the fights ^^: (this is of course assuming they haven't changed the taming thing which they might have).

    Any job can do BCNM though, also THFs can do NM hunting, and perhaps participate better in HNM fights, I don't really know enough about that.
    Still trying to play way too much...
