Enter message:	[quote][i]Quote from: Penweaver[/i] I had a somewhat similar suggestion. First, if you are new, I would say spend some time leveling two jobs that you plan to use. Keep them relatively close in level. For example, if you were going to be a WHM. level WHM to 5 or 6, then level BLM to 5 or 6, go back to whm and level it to 10ish, go back to Blm until 10... etc. This can also be done with MNK and War, or even Thf and Mnk, etc. I suggest this for three reasons, one, it will help keep your initial equipment costs down. Two, it puts you ready to use your subjob as soon as you complete the quest, and lastly, its an ok source of income. Sell your crystals and other things you get that drop, BUT save your money as much as possible. When you can, buy yourself some fishing poles, and some insect paste and fish up moat carp. If you are from Sandoria, you can run to the little pond in West Ronfaure (its called Knightswell on your map). Using insect balls will only fish up moat carp and items (make sure not to pull up any monsters). As another alternative, if you are from the Windy area, fishing in Windy Walls will only catch Moat Carp and the occasional Gold Carp. If you get a composite fishing pole, you dont have to worry about breaking it on the fish. Now, the reason I advocate this approach is that it is a virtual gil mine. Moat Carp on the Cerebrus server are going for 10,000 gil per stack of 12. The insect balls go for 1000 gil per stack of 12. Its a level 11 fish, so in the begining your fishing skill will be low enough that you wont get alot of them, but within a couple of days, you should be able to easily pull up 3 or 4 stacks an hour. Thats easily 30k - 40k per hour. If you sell them in Sandoria, they go really really fast. Just be warned, unlike the other crafts, fishing has a limit to how much you can do in a day. If you are fishing Moat Carp, at max, you can pull up 200 fish. Items and monsters count against this total. Once you get used to the fishing system and your skill rises a bit, you can easily make about 60k an hour, and about 180k a day, just with fishing moat carp (the money gets even better with higher level fish). Once you get a little gil saved up, you can get the gear you need to level and it also gives you the gil necessary to get into other crafts. Hope this helps, Pen[/quote]
