Bubbly Bernie drops steam clocks that sell pretty well too. If you kill enemies between pops you can also net a hefty crystal profit. GL!

I didn't rate anything down, then again I still possess a sense of humour.

Were any of these posts constructive?

I know people used to do Goobues right outside of The Boyahda Tree. I don't know if that's still a viable source of income or not though.

No no, people understand. They also understand when they see a piss-poor attempt at it. Either give the guy some helpful info or shut the *** up.

@OP When I used to farm a lot on THF I'd go to Beadeaux near De'Vyu Headhunter spawn and get a shitload of good NPCables, and no one's ever there. Then there was Mistletoe, but that's gone now.

*edit* Ga'Bhu Unvanquished not De'vyu Headhunter sry. And use steal as soon as its up.

Geez, way to be in a pissy mood. If he really wants an answer, he can look ***up, or npc cruor crap.

Agreed, Throughout the history of these type of posts no one ever REALLY gives a real answer anyhow. OP is basically saying "you know some way to make money that everyone else does not. clearly if everyone knew it then it would be exploited until demand kills the price or retard undercutters do (or in the cast of boyadra bats SE nerfs). please share your secret on a public forum so that will be EXACTLY what happens".

Don't be stupid people. He asked a dumb question and got the corresponding answers.

this is what i used to do for money making on my thf

head to fei'yin and kill golems, dolls and pots

the golems drop mythril ore which you can synth into ingots (i think it was goldsmithing lvl40 for that)

the dolls and pots will drop shards that you can synth into cermet chunks(alchemy lvl60 iirc)

and you should be able to get a few chest keys to drop to pop the chest once in a while so dont worry about bringing too many thf tools

Hi mate, there have been one or two threads like this before, the general concensus was that there is little in the way of gil to be made outside abbyssea, obviously because everything pre-abbyssea has now been rendered obsolete and dropped in price. With continuing expansions your best bet is to have a group or LS dedicated to farming new drops, it's almost impossible to solo large amounts of gil at this stage.

You can do like some of the others have suggested and solo some mobs for drops you can npc or drops you can craft, but really you are wasting your time for pocket money when the big gil is waiting out there in abbyssea.

I used to farm up in the Tree at lvl 75 THF with my NPC. By the time I used all 5 of my charges I'd walk out of there with at least 200k in lumber to sale to NPC. Never really counted the moss or cuttings.

Moss/crystals would easily cover the cost of food/bolts/tool etc so was straight profit.

Might not be the best idk but I used the cuttings for gardening so was good for me.

Tier IV spells have actually gone up in value a lot due to people easy lvling through abyssea+RDM getting them and being too lazy to farm themselves. Varies a bit by server but pretty pricey whereever you go.

The new rage is do a Dominion party, (Page 1 Altepa is amazing)

Dump all the notes into augmented weapons, turn all teh cruor you get into the level 78 gear

NPC it all

Nets you about 6900 per weapon and 5-7K per armor piece. In about 6 hours you could have tons of merits and about 500K+ easy.


Enjoy

I got a relic and ran out of gear to buy before finally spending 80m on a Mars's Ring; and if you ask me now I'll probably still tell you I don't know where to farm ;x. That's cuz farming has never been that good.

OP, you're probably looking for stuff to do solo, but if you have some friends, try looking up some abyssea NM's and see what you and your friends can duo/trio and sell for profit.

Try farming Water/Aero/Blizzard IV.

Water IV from Sapphire Quadav in Beadeux and NMs in The Den of Rancor

Aero IV from Yag. Prelates in Oztroja

Blizzard IV from Doom Mages (Gustav Tunnel, Cape Terrigan) and Doom Warlocks in Gustav.

Basically just piss off all the mages that don't want to pay 200k for tier IV spells.

This. Farming has always sucked in comparison to big game hunting, and that went down hill when SE made everything drop /EX equivalents because of bitching.

farm cockatrice/coeurl meat

no one is investing millions into gear anymore, the only expense for most players now is consumables.
