Gil farming for Smn

[yashiro]

I know it may be an old topic, but I really don't know how to make gil with smn... I have soloed Shooting Fish, but no one want the head nowaday, and the body is just rare... I have hunted Demon Horn for awhile, but it just as rare as "Mann. Body" from shooting fish :wasted:

So.. any other suggestion? I really need gil badly :biggrin: thx

6 smn doing molbol KS BCNM and soloing the trees in lufaise meadows are themore popular ones for smn that I know.

At 75 you could try soloing KS30 E-vase-ive Action, but its not an easy or cheap task. Its one of those "put gil in hope you get more out" things. Hmm what did I farm on SMN when I was in my anti-RDM mood. You could farm drops needed to make equipment used to pop NMs (like the white steel and Magholia Lumber for Oderous Knife, Hickory lumber for Hickory shield, etc). Theres always doing avatars with LS members/friend and take the 10k (15k for Diabolos) reward (even though you can't Marathon them anymore). Theres always the standby stuf like Beehive chips, Goobbue cuttings and so forth.

You could try soloing cactaurs outside the Cloister of Tremors for Cactus Stems. SMN has the easiest job of surviving the 1000 needles crisis.

I was always a fan of subbing THF and killing spiders in boyahda. At the very least you can look at that as "kindred seal farming".

[Mamimi]

You can solo KS (mentioned above), solo a few ENMs ("Like the Wind" comes to mind), camp NMs forever, and garden. SMN/THF farming with Carby and using Full Swing isn't bad either.

[Drakoen]

hmm. you can kill crawlers near windurts going for 50k a stack on my server.

You have piqued my interest...could you enlighten?

i sold a stack of silk thread for 80K on fairy!

[Drakoen]

nice woot i wish i could get that amount.

Hello, starting posting on this forum site, thought i would give my input on this. If you are high enough, try farming tree cuttings in Zi' tah, =P unless you have botters around there. if you plant them, you can get about 200k (on my server) for a stack of saplings.

One place I've been having fun farming with my NPC lately is the Killer Mushroom room at K-10 of CN. The funguar there are level 45-47 and so far as I know, the only mobs in the game that drop King Truffle, which goes for 30k each on Lakshmi. On a good moon with TH1 you can get a stack in 90 minutes, though on new moon I've done as badly as 1 truffle in the same amount of time ...

There are no other mobs in that room and the funguar are not aggressive, but they link vicously, making it hard for other jobs to farm there. I have to be very patient and break up their spawn pattern when I go there to keep from getting mobbed by 6 EPs. A summoner could pull them into the tunnel one at a time and have a very easy time of it.

Im lvl 53 summoner on fenrir and i need gil anyone know wat i could farm .........i have tried silk but there not worth the time because the price has fallen wat can i farm ????

"Give a man a fish and feed him for a day... Teach a man to fish and he can feed himself." Or something like that.....

It's hard to give a good answer on what you should farm...and it just hurts you anyway. Look at spider webs. They used to be pretty high priced on every server. Their price is plummeting due to massive over-farming of the expansion spiders, which drop the webs like candy. If you were just told to farm spiders for webs, you'd have to come back and ask what to farm now...

You've already done the very basics...you checked the AH price for one thing. Now, why don't you check the AH for other items that are dropped that sell for more? Or perhaps, something that sells for less, but much faster drops. If you have a lot of inventory room, look into unstackable items that sell fast. Or even take up crafting and look at things that you can make money on.

"Give a man a fish and feed him for a day... Teach a man to fish and he can feed himself." Or something like that..... ... you need to take up fishing if you want teh gilz.

So that's why the price dropped... I made a bunch of stacks of rainbow cloth before the expansion, and waited a while to sell them :o and now... well I'm not exactly losing money (yet... a few stacks haven't sold, and I'm hoping I'll only fail to gain money, not lose any) but it put me in a bad crafting mood.

I'll share my gil making experiences on SMN:

ENM:

I mostly do these for the exp, but I've come out on top gil wise plenty of times.

Fire in the Sky (Monarch Linn 40 cap) - It's a cluster NM you can solo using Astral Flow pacts and Ifrit. It's risky though, since the mob can self destruct itself three times in ten seconds. Or it could take ten minutes. I prefer to duo it as to not risk losing.

Like the Wind (Boneyard Gully Uncapped) - Soloable, but the Eft NM likes to spam its poison spit on whoever has hate. If you stop to use an antidote, it's probably going to poison you again or get an -aga III on you. Because of this, I duo/trio it so hate jumps around, giving people chances to antidote themselves without fear of death.

The strategy is using Fenrir and Eclipse Bite.

Mammets Rematch (Monarch Linn, uncapped) - Not an ENM, but a rematch fight. I duo with another SMN using Fenrir and Eclipse Bite. You have a chance of getting an expensive item if you win.

BCNM20 Shooting Fish - An ok source of gil since you can just solo it whenever as long as you have your 2hr and the seals, but I opted for another I can do on RDM (the crab one). Still not a bad choice since you can always count on a few hundred thousand gil.

BCNM30 Petrifying Pair - Really luck based if you make money from this, Really luck based if you win too XD. Three 2hr pacts will kill off the NMs, but with two enemies, you're going to need to duo since they aren't like those wimpy fish. Best drop is Leaping Boots.

BCNM30 Dropping Likes Flies - 6x SMN win this easy. Orb holder 2hrs with Ramuh, the five others Thunderspark. Best drop is Emperor Hairpin.

BC/ENM related, that's all that comes to mind at the moment. High level SMNs can farm hakutaku eyes easily depending on the location, but those camps are usually taken.

The best way anyone can make money is crafting, other than that you can do traditional farming or merc KSNM runs. (Copycat and Evil Oscar are two SMNable KSNMs).

[Kametame]

There's also one other BCNM that comes to mind. Horlais Peak - BCNM20 can be solo'd if you know what you're doing. It's you versus 3 fish with a ranged attack that knocks back. You just play it out like a mini-avatar fight (if you've done those), but instead of using Carbuncle, you use Ramuh. The two best drops for it are the Thunder Spirit Pact and the Mannequin head. The mannequin head can be sold for about 500k here on lakshmi, and the pact goes for about 200k.

Spider webs from spiders in the tree was always good for me. I did the tree cuttings as well with moderate success when I did not have massive gil seller competition.

The KSNM that someone mentioned with the malboro is a really good one. With 5 smns and a whm (for safe keeping), it was a total cake walk. The pot KSNM is a hard one to solo, but it is possible. I usually try to duo or trio it for the decreased chance of death from being overwhelmed/caught in aoe range, etc.

[IBHalliwell]

Until prices dropped recently, I would solo Beetles, Crawlers, Spiders, Gigas, etc.

[Hellrazzor]

anyone here from fenrir ........ im kinda not sure wat to do still ..... ahhhh......if u have a war thats 30 can i farm somthign else beacause of the price drop nothing is worth farming and the Enm .. never done it before........i need money for the fame for the prime fight so i can get fenrir.
