How to Make Gil Final Fantasy XI
Follow This Guide to Make Gil for FFXI
Many players in Final Fantasy XI (FFXI) find themselves tempted to buy cheap FFXI gil from gil sellers. This is particularly true with newer players, as they may not have the experience needed to make their own Final Fantasy XI gil. This can make playing the game difficult as other players can be judgmental about the quality of your gear in Final Fantasy XI.
Farming
Farming is one of the best ways to make gil in Final Fantasy XI. Farming is a great way to make gil because a player can start farming at level 1. There are various items in the game the players can farm, which items are best to farm at the time it is determined by current auction house prices. The best way for a new player to find a good item to farm is to visit the auction house, or to check out ffxiah.com. Players can randomly check, or check items they have had drop to them in experience points party recently. Although the player may not be able to farm these items at first, when they gain a few levels they should be able to solo them.
Keep in mind, there are several markets that are already occupied by other players. For example, gobbues are something that is perhaps over-farmed. These can be good income, if you're prepared for the competition. However, if you prefer to not have to compete with gil sellers and other players for your mobs, you may wish to find something that is a little bit less attractive. You can sometimes make more gil off less-expensive items simply because you don’t have to deal with the competition so you can farm the items faster.
Although many players scoff at farming, it is one of the best ways to make gil in Final Fantasy XI. After all, while crafting is not always profitable, there will always be crafters who need materials. Farming is a consistent form of income rather than a get-rich-quick scheme.
Fishing
Fishing, while listed under the craft area of the menu in Final Fantasy XI, is not considered a true craft by some players. This is due the fact that you don't actually craft anything. You buy a fishing pole and bait, then go stand by just about any body of water in the game and you're able to fish. Fishing is a great way to make gil in Final Fantasy XI. This is because it requires little gil to start up, in fact, you can get a fishing pole and some simple bait for less than 1k.
Fishing is great because every fish to pull up is profit, unless of course you happen to lose an expensive lure early in the process. By learning the basics of fishing in Final Fantasy XI a new player can easily become financially independent. While fishing does take patience, most ways to actually make consistent income in this game will need that skill.
As they can see, there are many ways you can make gil in Final Fantasy XI. You simply must be careful the method you choose is right for you. You must also keep in mind that while there are many ways a player might try to get rich quick in Final Fantasy XI (for example buying gil or jumping into BCNM fights with strangers), the consistent forms of income may in fact be better for players, particularly newer players. Farming and fishing are perhaps the most consistent forms of income a player can have this game. While consistent may sound like boring to some players, it's a great, honest way to get started and stay ahead in Final Fantasy XI.
