This is another affective way to earn money. Its slow, but it pays off in the end. My favorite spot to go, is in the center of Windurst Woods with a Carbon Fishing Rod and stacks of Insect Balls. You can get about 5-15 stacks of Moat Carps per hour and you don't need a high level to catch them. Each stack sells for about 5-10k each, and they sell extremely fast in San dories. You could also save 1000 of those Moat
Carps and then turn them in to get a Lu Shang's Fishing Rod, which you can either keep, or sell for 6-10mil. Fishing doesn't cost much at all to do and you can earn ahuge profit from the start. 99% of Fishing is profit and you almost never lose money.
You can also turn in all the low level fish that aren't Moat Carps to fishing NPC's or ifthey're worth something, sell them on the auction house. Gardening: This is a very good way to earn money, but it takes a long long long longlong time. You need to be very attentive to your plants/ore-growing-things andcheck/feed them daily. Its a goof profit and can quickly double, triple, or evenquadrouple your money. Downside is it costs a lot to do. I don't know muchinformation on gardening because I have never done it myself. I have a friend that is afull-time gardener on FFXI. I will ask her for help with this portion of this Gil Guidethe next time I see her.

Conquests Items: There are some items that can only be obtained with conquest points. Some higher level items also require a certain rank to buy them. To get conquest points, level with Signet on and you will get points. You only get conquest points when you gain EXP off of the mobs. Usually items bought with conquest points sell for a very large chunk of gil, which is awsome, because you pretty muchmake $$$ leveling. Quests:

Warp Scroll: Requires a little Bastok Fame, but well worth it. All you need is 1Slime Oil, which can be purchased for roughly 500gil-1000gil. There is an NPC impasto Metalwork's named Unlucky Rat. He is a big Galka behind one of the doors near the elevator. Once you give him the Slime Oil, he will give you the scroll which sells for 50-100k.--Ninja Scrolls: Requires a lot of Norg Fame, which is semi-hard to get ,but well worth it once you get all the scrolls. You can obtain Utsusemi: Ichi (400-700k),Koriyama: Ichi (75-150k), Hojo: Ichi (100-300k), Jubaku: Ichi (Unknown), andDokumori: Ichi (Unknown). These can earn you an extremely high amount of money,and these quests are extremely easy to do. If you have Sneak/Invis, you can do all of these with no troubles at all. Do this with a few mules and you'll be richer than yourfriends. (Assuming you farm the materials for the fame and don't buy them).Shop --> Auction House:

These are methods where you buy things from a shop or guild store at low prices, and then sell on the auction house for a major profit!
--Saruto Cotton: You can buy these in stacks in the Windurst Cloth crafting guild store for about 30gil a piece. These end up selling on the auction house for 8-12k astack. Its a humungous profit if you think about it. Downside is that Windurst guild isusually camped by botters and you may not get lucky that often.--PickAxes: You can buy these in Bastok for roughly 200 gil a piece, and then take
them to Jueno auction house. There they can sell for about 3-6k per stack. Smallprofit, but adds up quickly since I've never heard of PickAxes being camped before...The same thing can be done with Hatchets and Sicles.Helping: This is a really good way to get a lot of money fast. There are a number ofnew players that buy gil and spend it outrageously fast. I usually shout in Jueno,
"/sh Help -- "
And eventually, someone will ask for help, and then you go over prices, blah, blah blah blah... I was once paid 7mil to run a party of gilsellers through every CoP(Chains of Promathia) mission up to Sea. It took about 7 hours to complete it, but itwas definately worth it. So far that is the most I have ever been paid for helping. It notonly keeps you from being bored, but it earns you a large sack of cash. I don'treccomend doing this one until you're a higher level and know what you're doingthough, because it can be deadly and extremely time consuming if you're not sure.And yet I still have no idea where all that money went...
