Farm, Dumbass! Farm!

Farming for gil is the second most boring way to make money behind camping NMs. Standing around for an hour just to have some gilseller dickface out-voke you sucks ass. Farming is, however, a relatively painless way to make gil if you’re farming mobs much lower than you that only take a stiff breeze to knock over. Unfortunately farming usually isn’t something that can be done in a single day. It will take a lot of time to farm enough of whatever it is your farming, and more time for it to sell on the auction house. In some cases, it will take months of farming just to get that next kick-ass piece of armor or weapon. Having thf leveled to at least 15 will reduce the amount of time significantly. Some people also swear that having certain items in your inventory will increase your drop rate. The 4-leaf Mandragora Bud is mainly dropped by Mandragoras in the Jungles outside Kazham, but they might drop from the ones closer to Windurst. I don't know, I've never tried to get one. Rarabs in the Buburimu Peninsula drop the Wild Rabbit Tail which I can actually confirm as working. Crawlers drop the Lucky Egg in Boyadha Tree, but those bastards are in the 50’s or 60’s, so just running out there and getting one real quick isn’t a very good possibility. The increase in drop rates isn’t anything drastic, but if you’ve ever farmed for a long period of time you’ll see it. Supposedly the Millionaire’s Desk does something to raise luck, but I still haven’t seen any payout from that waste of money and Mog House space. Most people will eventually grow bored with farming and want to get back to leveling. Leveling with gimp gear should be illegal, but since it’s not I’ll advise you to tell that part of you that wants to go level to shut its goddamn face. Get yourself the best gear you can, so when you fuck up I’ll know it’s not because you don’t have decent gear but because you actually suck. Nearly any job can farm efficiently, though most of the mage jobs will be farming outside the starting cities for longer than the melees. If you chose to start in San d’Oria, I feel sorry for you. From a purely gil-making point of view, Bastok and Windurst kick the shit out of San d’Oria. From a purely personal point of view, Elvaan are fucking gay and their town sucks. Enjoy your rabbit hides and bat wings you stupid bastards.
