well im at school and so incredably bored i decided id make a guid to help the inexperienced get gil plz note this is not a get quick rich guide it will require some work and patience but what fun would it be if we could get all the gil we want without doing anything now then on with the show and plz feel free to post some ways for begginers to make gill im mostly in the sandorian area so bastok and windrust will miss out on some if you dont contribute
1: alwase have signet cast on you a guard near the gate out of town will cast it the will have RK or diff 2 letters signet lets you get crystals for killing things you sell these at the auction house NOT the npc shops a npc will give you 15gil for a fire crystal while it goes for 150-200 at ah
you also get conquest points for killing monsters with signet on you you can redeem these points with the the guy who cast signet on you the rank one item royal footmens tunic costs 1000 points but can be sold at ah for about 3k on asura
2: in the beggining sell everything you find at ah
3: starting a craft, these will sap money at first so you should hunt some monsters for the materials you can make a very small profit from smithing a stack of bronze ingots you get around a 1388 gil profit if you buy the crystals on asura
4: fishing, while still technicly a craft this is very different from the others it takes a long time to lv your craft lv in this and rods will break often i suggest getting a taru fishing rod (1k on asura) and a couple stacks of bait (experiment what you get a bite from and where befor you buy stacks in sandoria insect past works well fishing in northsandy and port sandy) and makeing a day out of fishing you equip the rod as a ranged wepon and bait as ammo and type /fish while faceing a pond start in citys so you dont fish up a monster the fishing gear while expensive if your starting out is well worth the money
5:Mineing and logging (note this next section is for sandorians only because i dont know any other spots): grab some hatchets if your strong enof to kill orcs and head to the orc out post (im not even gunna try to spell it its ghelesbob or something) and start tradeing logging points hatchets the harvesting gear realy helps but is very expensive the gloves and boots are only 2k (asura) but the rest is 10k+
if your around lv 20 (lv 25+ if you dont want aggro) head to yugotto grotto just turn left as you enter the orc outpost and turn left again if you see a large tunnle (ussualy guarded by a orcish grunt or 2) you went the right way in this grotto you can mine with all the harvesting gear but legs i ussualy get about 1 gold ore (10-11k) every stack of picks i use and ussualy a iron ore every time i dont seem to get much darksteel tho another plus if you head down one level you can camp ashmaker goblut a nm that drops hermit wands very often (2k) and sometimes priest robes (not sure but i think around 14k)
6:farming: farming is when you kill alot of a animal and sell its parts in the beggining i suggest farming the weakest thing in each towns starting area and selling the items
7: exploiting the ah: many people are just to lazy to walk to the shop and buy the items so they buy them at the auction house for a inflated price (note all items are not like this most are cheaper at ah then at shop) so you do a little reaserch and find a item where you make a nice margine of profit buying from a shop and selling to ah (dont try crafting materials they sell out pretty much the second the shop opens)
well i cant think of to much else a low lv can do to make money plz add to this topic so bastok and windrust can get money to
