It is very useful for allot of the items. There are just things I wouldn't even bother to list because of their terrible drop rates. Not to mention I would add more useful drops and areas before I would certain listed items.

Most of the things listed aren't really overcamped at all on my server. Not to mention what was listed most wont even bother to go after. So if do wish to spend a few hours on a certain drop. I don't really have to worry about other people. Really what the guide has done for some people is to open up their eyes to targeting not only product "A" in a zone, but product "B" as well (beast blood for example).
As for secret camps. Lets just say that Selph hasn't touched base on the majority of places I go.

This person clearly meant that they themselves were stupid and couldn't understand the language that the guide was employing, and therefore wouldn't feel worthy of passing that on to someone else, for fear of causing misunderstanding.
Honestly, that's a (rather naive) notion I can get behind.
I really like naive notions, they are indeed so fun to "get behind." Like little virginal ideas, ripe little cherries. |
Actually this guide does nothing more then do 99% of the leg work. Its not hard to surf the A.H to see whats popular and then locating the mob that drosp it. IF theres a list of a few, well then spend some time killing the mobs. Find the one that works and milk it. Then wen you sell check the NPC sale price and then see what the going rate is at the a.H and go from there. Its never been rocket science. Just a huge majority of people who want to info handed to them
Then again thats just me. Of course I am old School FFXI. Back when people were crying about how broke they were or why they couldnt find materials to craft. I was doing the research on the net. An then flooding the market and moving on when it bottomed out or more people caught on.
