Collecting
Gil in Final Fantasy XI may be a little difficult. Starting the game
with good tips and proper farming techniques during the early stages of
the game can go a long way.
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.
