Selphiie's FFXI Farming Guide

[Murphie]

Like this site, the wiki, and any other online resource isn't already telling players things about the game that they don't know. If you're going to decide what they should and shouldn't be told about, then at least be less arbitrary about it.

An thus proving my point.

What point?

Yeah, I can look things up on the AH, too, but fact of the matter is if I farmed based on that, I'd spend hours just finding something to farm. Not only that, I'd have to use FFXIAH (something I'm reluctant to do these days) or log on to lag-tastic FFXIclopedia and look up the NPC values.

This guide does all the legwork, which is why its a guide. People help contribute, making it a bigger asset than it was before. How do you think FFXIAH and FFXIclopedia got to be so useful? Even still, their existance doesn't diminish the value of another resource.

Fact of the matter is you're just complaining because you can, not because your complaint has any substance to it.

HAHAHA.


Also, little ninja, shut the hell up please. You got help once too. Nobody plays this game in a bubble, either you go to the community and take advice and get help or you die.

If a community based game can't bring people together to do things together, in and out of game then it's not a good community game.

If you disagree with Selphiie's guide then there are many other sites that act as guides that should be judged the same. Sites like hers' complements FFXI in it's competence as a community game.

And now to contribute to said community.
Not really sure if it is worth the entry since you have bat wings under the repeatable quest "Fear of the dark I" but I farmed these in my lower levels while getting solo exp in King Ranperre's Tomb and Ordelle's Caves. I'm sure there are other places that have a better drop rate.

Right back at ya fucktard.

Actually I didn't get much help other then what ever alla had listed when I searched an item. An even then most of it involved leg work to eliminate mobs who didn't drop it and finiding the ones that do. Nowadays most of the things I target for quick cash were things I just stumbled apon while bored waiting fo rfriends to log on or when I was exploring and fighting different mobs.

Well hell thats pretty much nailed almost all of your posts.

Right back at ya fucktard.

Huh. So I say that this is something everyone does, practically has to do, and the game would be broken without it, and you reply by saying I do it to? That makes sense.

Actually I didn't get much help

Really? You've never used help to find out how to complete a quest or mission? You've never had to look up crafting instructions? Wow, you must be a very, very shitty player.

[Murphie]

Or conversely, the best player ever.

[Feba]

No. There are great, great players (Armando for instance) that go out and discover new things that benefit the community. But no one could stretch themselves thin enough to learn everything themselves, and they would be an idiot to try.

[Murphie]

I was being facetious. No player is an island in this game.

[Omgwtfbbqkitten]

I prefer to think of myself not as an island, but a small nudist colony.

[Feba]

And I prefer to never have to think of BBQ being nude.

Thanks a lot, Murphie.

Add insight to the guide or stop posting.

[Heartily]

Thanks for the guide. I was aware of most items on the list (it's not too hard to spot RMT )since I've been doing this a couple years but I didn't know about the fishing in Nashumau. Not only a good income but I can level fishing faster than anyplace else I've tried recently.
I actually went from 32 to 33 with a 12 fish catch ! I think it's a great contribution to the readers here. Thanks again

I think my favorite part of this guide is the simple fact that I can browse it at work (b' ')b

For the past few weeks I been doin nothing but focusing my efforts on Campaign EXP and Missions, but doing that has took a major chunk out of my savings. I'll be sure to put the information in this guide to good use once I'm ready to make myself some phat lewt.
