Gil farming for Smn

Re: Gil farming for Smn

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.

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 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).

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.

Re: Gil farming for Smn

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