Bird Blood was my first, thats where I made about 300k for a hauby and another 100k for C.Chain in about 20 hours of farming across a span of 4 days, I tried to keep track but eventually lost count of gil/hr but I do know i went there 4 times once per day and stayed there for about 5 hours. Eventually I wanted to try something different, so I did the bats in Zitah for their blood drops... OMG they drop so often... why didnt I know this! D: It was AWESOME but because the bats only pop at night I was starting to crave for something else... I did Ladybugs and made another 100k there more or so but that took a long time... feels like 30% drop rate or so, but because theres so many of them it makes up for that, but yea it got boring after killing 10 or more without any drops, thats a big disappointment.

Then I gave manta skins a try in LoO, drop rate didnt impress me... I was there for about 2 hours and got maybe 5 drops, got more money off the scorpions to be honest :p It was taking me a bit to kill them though, I'm sure if i killed them faster it wouldnt have felt so slow, I was BST60 then, I'm now at 67, maybe at 70 or so it gets better, anyway... then I tried Leshy... Holy crap! It is heavily camped but i got about 2 stacks of mistletoes in a little more than 1 hour, it was crazy and I didnt want to leave, but eventually more people came and I got out of there, went back there the next day and about 10 people were there camping too... that threw me off... so i did buggards in tavnazia, awesome drops, but i think even Bird Blood would be better than the buggards, the good thing though is that you can log in tavnazia too... i walked out with tons of walnuts (1k each) and many expensive logs, made 200k ish in tavnazia.

Last thing I tried was xarcabard, didnt like it, i need to be able to kill the Gigas there faster for it to be worth it, 200g+ a pop was nice though, i got maybe 20k there plus 2 hickory lumbers that sell for another 10k each so technically 40k ish, if i ever sell the lumber

My favorite place is definetly Zitah, even if its camped, theres 50+ spawns of the lesser gaylas bats, enough for everyone, if only they didnt depop in the morning

I havent tried any more of your suggestions but ive been trying to find what works for me on your guide and i've made more money doing that than i have ever made in the past in this ammount of time.

Right now, I'm fishing Nebimonites in the Ferry like the gilsellers do

They are great gilmakers on Ragnarok, 10k a stack and you can easily isolate them in the ferry, but right now im fishing them to make shihei :3
