Use your highest lvl, head over to North Gustaberg and kill "Man-Eating Hornets" (lvl 2-5). You can find them up on the hill. Just look out for goblins. Kill them for beehive chips and honey. After a few hours you should acquire a couple stacks of chips and a stack of honey. Chip stacks sell for 5-7k and honey stacks are 2-3k.

There's a migthy lot of ways to make gils in FFXI. The first tip I could give you is to not do my mistake; start a craft early on. I have 2000 hours of playtime an have never crafted; I always got my gils from Notorious Monsters. but after having passed over 400-500 hours on NM camp-ing, you get really pissed out of it... and you get to wish you would have rised a craftskill from which you could get some gils.

Which craftskill to rise is up to you and the lectures you'll do on the net; I can't help much for it.

Fishing, although long and painfull, is a well-known decent gils income matter. So is gerdening. Gardening is a little less practiced, but a well informed gardener with all his wequipment gathered and all, can do up to 20,000 gils per real time week. It's not much, but since gardening doesn't require your full attention, (you only need to visit your moghouse once a day) then it's a rather usefull way to get a decent reliable income.

When your levels get a bit higher, you can also try your luck and skills at NM camping. Per exemple, at the far west of south Gustaberg, therE's a NM camping. It's a lizzard and it'snamed "Leaping Lizzy". It pop instead of one of the lizzzard of the area,m randomly, every 2-3 hours. By killing it, you get 1 chance over 10 or so to get his LEaping Bootsm, which sell for about 600,000 gils. This lizzard is a Lv11 NM, which means you can solo it by level 17-18.

But again; start a Craftskill... it's painfull in the beginning, for you won't get much gils out of it(you'll most prolly be loosing gils for a while) but get to be rathe3r well paying with time. Which one is the most payuing and to choose is up to you. But if you want a skill that will allow you to save on your wequips, think about this:

Smithing/Goldsmithing: quality melee armor/weapons/rings/eaarrings/various pieces of equips

Leathercrafting: mage armor, rings, necklaces

Bone/Wood crafting: jewels, armors, items for your moghouse.

Cooking: FOOD ! all job suse food. Mages tend to use even more though. cooking = constant small income. The most popular foods selll in impressive speed.

Alchemy: MEDICINES ! just like food: those sell and usually little profits, but sell so god damn fast ! I'm no crafter, but when I go to prepare for a BCNM and such, And I buy 1 potion, chat for a couple minutes, and check price history of Potions, very oftenly, there's been over 15 Potions that sold since I sold mine. Same for all the kinds of most popular medicines.

But again, I can't help on which will generate the most profits for I do not craft.

Yet, for now, your main issue is to fish/farm stuff till you get enough ressources to begin a craft... a craft at max level (100) can generate some impressive gil income... but takes time and gils to take it up there.

Later on, you can also do BCNMs(Burning Circle Notorious Monsters) which use some of your Beastmen Seal's to enter a battlefield and fight some Notorious Monster with your party. Winning those will earn you and your party some rare items that can sell rather well...

Good luck

dont forget to get signet, on asura a stack of earth crystals = 1-1.5k, fire is hovering around 4-6k. If you have more than one character you can transfer over goods that sell for more in one city vs another. For instance in windy,an npc sells windhurst tea leaves that sell fast in sandy due to the leather guild. You can buy a ton and transfer to sandy for good profit low level. Doesnt even require anything besides AH slots.

Go to Ghelsba Outpost(sp) have your signet on. Kill Orcs and Lizzys. Fire crystals sell for almost 4k/stack in kujata.
