Beginner's Final Fantasy XI Gil Guide
Having enough FFXI Gil is the most essential aspects of the
game. Gil the major currency used when purchasing or trading
items. To be a good player you will need allt he Gils you can
get. No matter how great your game skills are you will need the
Gils to get your equipments, armors, weapons and other items.
Having the gears early in the game will help you advance to
higher levels at a faster pace than others can. Here are some
good tips to start your career in Final Fantasy XI.
Warp Quest This method can get you about 10k gil within an hour.
You need to start with 1k to purchase a slime oil. After you've
purchased the slime oil, bring it to an NPC named "Unlucky Rat"
in the Metal district of Bastok in exchange for a warp scroll.
The scroll sells for about a good 7-10K. Seems easy? Well slight
problem with this method is that you will need to have enough
fame built up before the NPC will take your slime oil. You will
be required to run around town doing low level missions to get
your fame up. This is where it gets a little time consuming but
10k gil an hour for a lowbie is really good. You can also redo
this quest by creating a mule account and transfering 1k gil to
that character.
Just Badge Quest The Justice Badge quest is located in Winhurt
and will require 1 rabab tail and 4 onions to complete. you can
buy the stack of rabab tail in the auction house for 50-100gil.
Easy to do at low level. In the docks of Winhurst you will find
an NPC that you can give the rabab tail to. He will give you the
Justice Badge which sells for 500-2000 gil in the auction house.
After receiving the bad, give him 4 wild ionions and you'll
receive a scroll that sells up to 5000 gil. You can repeat this
quest by using a mule.
Fire Crystals A stack of first crystals can sell for 2000 gil
easily over at the auction house. There are 2 good methods to
collect fire crystals. The more commonly used method would be
the usual beat the mob down and loot method. To start you need
to be around level 7-10. You will need signet cast on you at
your town gates. Head out North to Gusterburg where you will be
able to find many vultures. You'll only want to kill the vulters
and nothing else to conserve time. To the Northwest of San
D'oria there is an area full of Orcs. The orcs drop a nice
amount of fire crystals as well. You can probably average about
3 stacks in an hour. 6000 gil in an hour for a level 7-10 is not
too bad.
The other method of farming fire crystals is by gardening. You
start by buying a brass flower pot in the auction house, several
vegetable seeds and some water crystals. You then plant the
flower plot in your Mog house and put in the vegetable seeds.
Feed it some water crystals, after 1-3 days you will have 17
fire crystals come out of it. You can have up to 6-8 flower pots
per house, you can easily make 20-30,000 gils every 2-3 days. It
only takes a few minutes to purchase the accessories and to
plant them. It's a wealthy short term investment. Money growing
on trees is the way I think of it.
