Guess I'll try to do SOMETHING for activity in this thread.
So how do you farm? Farming was my favorite thing to do in this game. On weekends I would sit down and play the game for 2-3 days straight...no rest at all, just farming 24/7. I can do the same thing over and over for days and still find joy in it as long as I see progress.
So my question is how do you farm? Or any way you make money?
I haven't played in a few years but hopefully I can give some tips that help people with gil. I used to make between 500,000 to 1.5mil gil a day with my methods, with normal farming alone. Then on the side I'd get gil from gods and hnms.
I first started farming at level 30, I'd go into the jungle and farm tigers. I always found it stupid when people farmed lizzy and the emperor and such. They'd spend hours camping and most likely not get the claim...and even if they did things weren't guaranteed to drop. Totally not worth the gil.
At level 60+ I started to go to the Glaciers. You don't need any crafting skills for this to be effective but it always helps. I'd farm tigers, golems, dark elements, dolls, and steal gold from the goblins. With some crafting you can turn the tiger fangs and leather into stuff. As well as doll shards, gold and stack the golem items. There is an outpost up there so you can just warp home and back over and over as much as you want when you fill up. I always used drg or rng with farm with a mage subbed. Either for healing or warping. But with mobs that easy you can just plow threw em without getting hit, its just inv. space that keeps you back.
In the end I found this to be much more effective then just crafting full time. Well anyway, thats how I did it. I'm not sure how the economy is now days, but back then with this process you could get a relic weapon within months, or anything else you needed.
There was also something else I did that really helped. Heck it got me a Scorp Harness +1 (Back when it was the best and most expensive item in the game) for practically free. I played the AH until I got lucky. One day I was messing around and bidding on high price items until I got a dusk Jerkin for a little less then 1 million gil. Turned around and sold it for something like 5. Used that extra gil to buy two sniper rings +1 and within a few months the price of those doubled. So I sold them for 10mil and got myself a scorp harness+1 plus an ebow. All for the price of 1mil, and just from playing the AH. I did this a few more times with things, mostly messing with the snipers for a lil more, and most the time it worked out quite well. Very useful
Anyway, I hope I helped some of the young players out. So what are your farming tips / ways / secrets. Don't think you have to worry much, doesn't seem like we have many people on the same servers here. So you don't have to worry about somebody taking over your business.

Its a good trainer if nothing else.
