With my main and only well leveled job as white mage farming is extremely hard but any help is greatly appriciated.

That WHM famring thread is nice and all before about level 40, after that the Gil you need for everything at level 40+ is much more than just training a few orcs and selling some beehive chips. That guy claims he makes about 10k gil an hour, and lets say a normal person working a regular full-time job has about 2 full hours per day to farm, so 20k a night if they are lucky and have a good night. Now, here's what I need as a level 50 BLM to sustain myself for about the next 5 levels, not counting spells...

Dark Staff - 230k
Ice Staff - 170k
Morion Earring - 100k
Morion Tathlum - 35k
Wisdom Rings x2 - 180k (I think...not 100% sure on this one)

So...about 715k gil. Add spells and we're closer to 800k gil. I'm sure WHM (Erase, Raise 2, Dark Staff, Light Staff, Astral/Electrum Rings, etc. etc.) and RDM (Phalanx, Refresh, Dark Staff, Light Staff, Ice Staff, Rings for spells and melee, a good sword, etc.) are probably somewhere in this neighborhood as well. Doing simple math, that's 80 DAYS of farming 2 hours a day. Ouch.

Sure, there's a few one-time-only ways to make money, like doing the teleport quests, but most Mages are going to use those spells, not sell them. Utsusemi is a nice gil pickup, but only if you don't plan on ever leveling Ninja.

I dunno, I'm at a loss. That WHM farming guide certaintly isn't the way, though...

Thanks for the reply AtomicGator! At least it sounds like that guide will suit me for another 10-15 levels. Sorry that it won't work for Hasufeld. :(

"If you can only play an hour or two a day it is really difficult to advance in this game."

Well, I'd actually say that the average person probably has about 4 hours a day to play, but if you add prep time, travel time, and AH/inventory manipulation time (bathroom time? :)) to that, you're looking at 2-3 hours of pure farming time, which is where you are going to make that 10k per hour.

"I can tell you my secret to how I made money to buy everything you mentioned above. Well it's no secret really, pretty common knowledge. Mining, Fishing, Crafting and a occasional run of BCNM 40. Some secret huh?"

Here here! I took up fishing while LFG for Genkai 1, and am up to level 7.0. It's slow, but it's like exercise: you don't really want to do it, but you know it's good for you. :) As for BCNM, I have yet ot actually do one, if anyone wants a BLM (or soon a WHM...gonna get that up to 40) let me know.
