i guess i have been unfair to the actual begginers I have been mostly talking about things lv 15 and up can do so for a change im gunna talk about what lv 1s can do for some starting gil. First things first do the adventure coupon quest it nets you a pitiful amount of gil but in the beggining you need all the money you can get your hands on. Next look at your map and go join every guild in your town they will give you a free crystal to start out take these crystals and sell them at the ah depending on what town you scart in you could make up to 1.5k on these alone (as alwase my prices are from Asura so the amount fluxuates from servers but hey its free gil). next have signet cast on you by one of the gueards at the gates of town and go out and do this :chop: to creatures (or this :twak: if your a mage) Bastok does realy well at early crystal farming because of the low lv bats that drop wind crystals regardless of town sell everything you find at the ah if you dont have a stack dont drop it sell it at the ah anyway. These tips will surely help even the greenest of rpgers get there next set of armor and wepons (I advise against getting bows and arrows as it is very money consumeing if you want to pull however get something cheap or reusable so either keep wooden arrows for a long time or buy a boomerang)
