I don't know :confused: :confused:

How?

If someone give this to me I would like to make friend with them.

Ill_Mitch has officially made me a fan of punch board rap or whatever it is he does. :spin:

About the not levelling for a couple weeks comment, I would say that it is worth it. I did not level my bard for 2 weeks when I hit 17 and farmed and camped nms with my WHM (38 at the time) until I had enough money for my first Monster Signa.

It was more rewarding in terms of satisfaction than actual character improvement, imo. I pride myself off of my character and have no problem investing time into making my bard or whm the best he can be. If you really enjoy monk, I think you would have no problem with taking the time to farm up some gil for eq that makes you the best you can be.

And as Toede said, it's eq so you can always just sell it back when you're done with it.

He is saying, you are incredibly awesome, and how can we be as cool as you.

Brown Belt(Optional) - 240k

Damn, your server rocks... if I am talking about buying the gears lol

Ochiudo Kote(it's Ochi not Ochu, noticed it today when I got mine): 560k*rising*
Jujitsu Gi: 100k *rising*
Fuma Kyahan: 200k *haven't checked recently*
Jujitsu Sitabaki: 6k
Brown Belt: 300k *rising*

I got lucky on my jujitsu gi, got it for 10k(love idiots), bought my jujitsu sitabaki at half price, and then I just used my racial gear's gloves and boots til lv43? Forgot which lvl that I can camp fuma and kote on my own... then I camp fuma til I got the drop.

But compare to Paladin, mages, Ninja, or Ranger.. we are already using much less money... since these set will last you til AF...

By the way... 5mil or so at 50, if you want to be the best... Crosscounter.. >_>

Hello and greetings with my introductory post on this forum ^^


this is a topic which has affected me as well.
i am fortunate to level with a set (static) party of linkshell friends, but due to scheduling problems, we all had to take a hiatus from leveling regularly around the time we hit 40.

luckily, this left me with a lot of time to farm.

it is no exaggeration, at level 40, you are pushed to become "the million dollar monk".


the first thing i got were my Jujitsu Sitabaki (4k) and Jujitsu Gi (120k).

i am still wearing my Federation Kyahan (i like the attack bonus, and i just havent worried too much about getting the Fuma Kyahan yet)

i just got my Ochiudo's Kote last night, for 530k.

back when i hit the level where i could first equip them, they cost at least 100k less.
they have sold for as much as 600k on my server.
i still ended up paying 80k more than my wife did for a pair (yes, she has some too, for her ninja)

i had been wearing the Federation Tekko for a long time, but i got wise and cashed in some of my conquest points for a pair of Combat Caster's Mitts. they offered equal defense (if i recall) and a +5 attack bonus... not much compared to the fancy red Kote, but more than i had without them! and they are "free"!

(i also used conquest points to buy the Mercenary Captain's Headgear, which i only wear when i go into BCNM or leveling battles; but for daily use (and farming) i still like to wear my Federation Hachimaki since i dislike the way the headgear looks)



I haven't yet decided if i will save up for and buy my brown belt, or if i will quest for it. i hear the quest is a major headache, so... i'm not sure yet what i will do.


I sold my Impact Knuckles and got a pair of Mythril Knuckles +1, which cost me only 75k (i hear from people on other servers that they tend to cost much more and be difficult to find)

I have a set of Beetle Earrings +1, which i think i paid about 30k for (can't remember if that was 30k total, or 30k each... it was a while ago)



where did i get the money?
well, first thing to realize, is that i didnt get it all at once. each piece was purchased one at a time, often weeks apart.

it isnt necessary to get everything at once. in fact, im not sure it's even possible.


now, because i level with a set group, and none of us have been leveling for a while (not those jobs anyway), i have LOTS of time to farm.

i also quested recently for my RSE, and sold it.
this was a great boon for me. the elvaan RSE isnt that useful to me (unless i were a mage), so selling it was a great way to gain some gil.
RSE gloves: 50k
RSE boots: 50k
RSE pants: 40k
RSE body: 50k

i also did the quest for the ninja scroll of Utsusemi: Ichi and sold that for 110k
(while i was at it, i quested for a few other ninja scrolls and sold those too, but for much smaller amounts)

I invested about 50k in a stack of tree cuttings, from which i am growing tree saplings, stacks of which can sell for 130k.

I have also been doing BCNM40 battles with groups from my linkshell. i will never go do this with a random group of people who i do not know and implicitly trust, but it can be a fine way to earn some highly-sought-after items to sell (like scrolls of Erase and Phalanx, etc).
we sell it all, pool the money together, and distribute it between the 6 participants.


there have been times when i have felt like i would never be able to earn all the gil i needed, but one odd thing seems to happen.... if you save it dilligently, then once you have a large amount (like 100k or 200k), it begins to feel like the gil is coming in more easily.

when you only have 50k in your pocket, and think about needing to earl 1 million, it seems very daunting.
but when you look, and realize that you have over 200k now, then you suddenly feel a bit empowered, you see some results of your hard work, and begin to realize that it is possible, with dedication.
and the rewarding feeling of pride in yourself when you have these great things to wear, and knowing that they were won through your hard work and dedication (rather than cheating or something) is a great feeling indeed.

i know that some people, like my wife, really dislike being examined by other players, but i dont mind when someone examines me; because if they are impressed by what they see, i have every reason to be proud of my hard work.
besides, when i was just starting out, i remember looking enviously at higher level monks, impatient for the day when i too would be able to wear the neat stuff i saw on them.

well i have nothing to say other than "Keep up the good work mate!"

you'll probably wanna save some money on 1 or 2 sniper rings and the life belt.

[Rising Tornado]

I will write you lyric to bring sunshine on your gloom day.
Read carefully, I have made this a quite nice lyric!!!
I hope this can help your fortunes!!

U will be calm and most happy
Reading this is made for good fortune and peace of spirit.
Always remember - ride fast and danger, here is your lyric!!!:

Farming gil, bring great gloom for you
Also you feel not knowing what to do
Gardening brings great fortune if you plant
Gil growing from tree, no need to rant
Once you become in the riches
Time to buy the new stitches

With your new gear you will become danger and be able to strike with quickness like TIGER!
I hope to make a new friend with this lyric.
