Vendors were very much my savior for the yag drinks section. I spent a lot of time in port sandy lol

When the area went beastman controlled, I made a combination of Stone cheese, melon pies, and ginger cookies.

I'm in the middle of leveling cooking myself, and I can honestly say that I have taken it to 70 with spare change and bellybutton lint. I was willing to dole out sexual favors if need be, but it turns out that if you use the regional and nation vendors, cooking is (le gasp!) cheap.

And I completely agree with PotPot's message, if not his delivery. As with anything in FFXI, research is the key. To jump headfirst into a craft without reading up would be like buying a level 75 account and attempting to solo Xolotl.

Er...you did know you can get rock salt for like 20gil in Ramburo (or whatever, at work) grocery store in South San D Oria right?

Taskmage · 05-05-2006, 12:41 PM

Raimbroy, yeah. I have a mule in Sandy to get cooking ingredients for me. Funny that the cooking guild is in Windurst, but the grocery store is in San d'Oria, ne?

Taskmage: Acorns can be bought from vendors. Ronfaure regional, I believe. I know I skilled on Marron Glaces, which use acorns, and I never bought them from AH, and I'm pretty sure I got them in San d'Oria.

OP: Vendors are your friend. It's a lot of travel time unless you have mules, but it saves a lot of gil in the end.

It's S-E's evil plan to have you make mules @@;

LoneGamer · 05-07-2006, 10:08 PM

I get along with just one mule, and she only exists to hold gear >.>

PotentPotables · 05-07-2006, 11:11 PM

1 mule per major city is the way to go...

Xandora · 05-08-2006, 02:01 AM

I have... 3 mules. @-@. One for gear, one for levelling in lower areas when I'm bored, and one for overnighting on cooking and BCNM drops. The MH is full of juices and drinks.

Taskmage · 05-08-2006, 01:23 PM

Ronfaure vendor sells chestnuts, which are used in Marron Glace. Acorns are logging/digging only afaik. Luckily Acorn Cookie can be bought from a vendor, so the only time you'll ever need them is when Turtle Soup is a guild point item.

LoneGamer · 05-08-2006, 01:40 PM

*checks* Oh, you're right. My bad, sorry.

Neomage · 05-08-2006, 01:43 PM

Thats the thing about cooking, you have to buy everything from vendors or it's almost always a loss. Knowledge > Gil Buying!

After 70 levs of cooking (72.3 now) I finally broke down and got my 2 other mules. Not so much for gaining access to vendors (though it will help, I'm rank 5 and have whm @ 42) but for AH space. I'm finding I have to do a LOT of cooking to get my skill ups and I've run out of storage space. As a side note Tuna Sushi is a good skillup item if you fish the tuna yourself, otherwise it's a loss with breaks.
