Heya, folks~!

First post on Somepage, yay me.

Anywho, I just got back on FFXI about a week or two ago after about 6 months of absence. Happy to be back.

Currently leveling SMN, I planned out a set of lv. 50 Gear:

Full Austere
Himmel Staff (plus
Astral Ring x2
Summoning Earring x2
Spirit Torque
Aurora Mantle +1
(forgot the belt...)
(Haven\'t picked out a throwing slot yet)

In total, this full set adds about +200, +12 SMN skill, I believe, - 1 Pert. cost, and -3 BP Delay

its nothing AMAZINGLY special, but I\'m really looking forward to that setup.

Problem is... seems like the economy has changed a lot on my server since I last played. (For the better, for the most part, prices have dropped a lot) However, I have noooooooooooooo idea what to farm anymore, lol.

I used to do Crystal/Elementals, but they only go for 1k max, and that\'s over 3,000 stacks to my goal, provided they all sell for 1k.

Any suggestion? I was considering doing fishing, a la moat carp, but thats 3k, which is still 1,000 stacks to goal. (Moat Carp is the only thing I consider practical for fishing because the likelihood of catching them is so high, y\'know? Even at lv. 0)

I don\'t know, open to all suggestions, I was hoping for something I can do for about 10k-25k per stack that drops/harvests easily. BCNMs are cool, been trying Treasures/Trib. but I\'ve yet to pick the right chest.

Anyway, suggestions welcome~

I have SMN36 and BLU58 to work with. (PLD 40... but farming on PLD is... bleh)

I would say the best thing is to do BCNM40. Farming just takes awhole lot of time.

You could always try beehive chips and grain seeds. Those sell pretty well on Hades Server. The chips go for 7k a stack and the seeds sell for almost 20k a stack. anyways good luck on that armor set.

My suggestion is to garden. Takes a little bit of money to start but after that it will pay for itself. Tarutaru Rice is a decent starting out money maker.
