Dug's GUIDE TO FARMINGFollow

Pashhow Marshlands:Farm Leech for beastmen blood, a stack of 12 will sell for about 30k in Jeuno. I can farm them at WHM lvl 36 easealy.

Sorry for me exploying theis :P

Good guide, but a few things popped into my head that you should add.

1) Defkautt's Tower. You should be at LEAST level 40, probably 50 if you want to maximize this, and sub THF (At least level 15, but you can get away with level 5 if you are really cheap). Essentially all you do is run around, and kill any Gigas/Giants you see. You are farming gil off these bad boys, and they drop around 200 gil each if I remember correctly (it is been a long time). Any job can do this, but of course, the melee's are better suited for this than mages, but I have seen White mages farming here. You can also get Light Elementals, but I am unsure of their level, and if you could take them.

2) Crawlers nest. Buy 10-20 Stacks of Rolanberries from Jueno (They are sold by an NPC), equip up, and head to Crawlers Nest. The recommended level for this would have to be 60ish to do this effectively. You trade the Rolanberries to the ??? in the sac room, and the Guardian Crawler pops. Sometimes he does not pop when you trade Rolanberries to the ???, but try again, and he will eventually pop. He drops a dated rolanberry, which you can trade to an NPC in selbina (Again, dont know the name, maybe someone can fill this out) for 800-900 gil a pop. If you are a high enough level to effectively do this, then you can farm these very quickly for a lot of money.

Just a couple ideas, feel free to add them ^_^

What a troll, he tries to help out and thats how you contribute, by trolling him?

9-20 Beehive chips are nice.

10-30 Beastmen are nice, Helms, backplates etc.

30-35 Rams are good.

Awesome guide.

Rate up.

Batillia Downs - Tiger fangs can be sold to an NPC for a nice sum.

35+ Dangruf Wadi - ride the geyser up to farm (don't remember the location)

Gobs- Animal Glue off ambushers, various armor (I npc them), spells
Lizzies - to pop Steam Lizard who drops Steam Scale mail
Leeches - fiend blood (~100 gil to an npc)
Worms - ore, flint stones (trade for quest in bastok, or sell on AH), Hermit's Rings

I've easily made over 90k in one night farming here for 3-4hours. Not great, but not bad if you want an area with not much competition.

While the people near the Konschtat Highlands zone do level on hill lizards, those who level near the secret beach (i.e. the northwest section) generally level exclusively on goblins. Very few parties who are leveling on hill lizards choose to camp near the secret beach because of the large number of goblin spawn points.

I myself farm lizard skins up near the secret beach and have come across parties leveling there many times. Each time, I make sure they're not leveling on hill lizards, but the fact of the matter is that if they're choosing to level all the way up there, hill lizards are likely not their target.

Edit: I did not rate you down.

Just a few notes for clarification:

Dangruf Wadi:

The Steam Scale Mail is dropped only by the NM Geyser Lizard, which spawns in two locations within Wadi. Steam Lizards, on the other hand, drop only skins, tails and the occasional Wadi Chest Key (the chest holds cheap stones like Lapis Lazuli, a lowbie WHM shield, or gil, which can net you about 700-2000 gil). Also, the Wadi hares drop Gausebit Grass as well, which tend to sell better in Jeuno than anywhere else.

Pashow Marshlands:

The Malboros drop Dodge Headbands, which NPC for about 2K, or AH for about 3K. I have never seen one drop the shield pendant that you mention. Don't forget the funguars for their shrooms. Also, the two NMs, Bloodpool Vorax (leech which drops Bloodbead Amulet) and Jolly Green (Goobbue which drops Shaman's Belt) can be a nice 20-30K chunk of change each.

Rolanberry Fields:

You can steal silver beastcoins from the Quadavs, and the Garnet variety drops Mauls, which NPC for about 2K. They also drop random WHM/RDM scrolls, some of which sell for about 1-2K each on AH.

Qufim:

Check the weather, and when the Light Elementals are out, time to farm!

Of course, there are other places for higher level players, but other than that, great guide!^^

for 50+ I'd say Pashow Marshlands can give big returns, if you farm it right. You need a /25thf to maximize time.
Leeches- Beastman Blood (30-40k) a stack, these leeches all spawn by the small pools of water on the map.
Goobbue- Tree Cuttings, Boyhada Moss- These Goobbue have set spawn points, be sure to mark them on your map, so you can hit them up easily. NPC the Moss and sell the Cuttings for about 6-10k dependant on the server.
Crawlers- Silk Thread- goes for about 18-20k a stack nowadays. These crawlers all spawn by the trees, which are pretty obvious in the zone, when you look around. Silk can be a rare drop, but 20k for a stack is a good pay off.
Thunder and Water Elementals- If you have a mule, this can make you considerable amounts of money, just bazzar these water clusters by the Cooking Guild in Windurst, or Alchemy guild in Bastok. Thunder can just be sold.
Malboro- Sell the vines for a good 800g-1k, sells quickly in Bastok and Sandy.
The Plan
#If Gooby bags are done this will be a lot easier and theif 15 is a must for a sub. Being 40+ or 50+ makes farming a lot quicker and more productive.
Start at the zone line and work your way on the road, being sure to visit every pool and Tree on your way, check for weather effects, and basically just kill everything you see there ^_^
~~~~~Good Luck and Happy Farming!~~~~~~~

You included one of my favorite places: Delkfutt. However, you say to farm gigas. Actually i find that farming magic pots and dolls in lower and middle to be my best money there. There are several rooms that pop 2 pots and several that pop 3-6 dolls. Doll shards are rare but worth over 30k/stack and pot shards are 18k-20k/stack and they drop much more. Both types of mobs also drop mercury which is up to 9k/stack in Jeuno on Pandy. What I do there is kill all the dolls/pots in an area then kill gigas omw to the other rooms where they pop. as a 58 drk/29 thf i can make really good money doing this.

Absolutely right on both counts. I updated the Wadi stuff. As for the Shield Pendant I must have been thinking of the Stropers in Ordelles when I wrote it. Stropers drop Pendant, Marlboros drop Headband, hehe got it ;)


Totally correct, I changed the info based on what you and Kamanao wrote. Thanks for the heads up.


That's actually a valid point. The biggest danger would be other players getting Antican aggro while the ant is pathing back from zoneline. I'm going to have to think of some kind of disclaimer to put on that one.

Ya, that makes sense to me. And it solves the dilemma. I just took out the parethetical (or during battle). TY ;)
