50k+ Gil Thats Actually Easy
first of all…maybe someone allrady posted this but i dont have time to read through 300 posts so im sorry if someone allready did..2nd is this strat requires wind elemental farming in la theine plateu
now some may ask…they spawn so randomly where am i supposed to farm them? easy…looking at the map of latheine platue u will notice many gorge type objects that look like long shaded areas..i think there is about 5 of them. 1 is west of west ronfaure zone and another is southeast of it. but the one you want is the gourge in the south west corner nicely tucked away down there. its basically south from the ronfaure zone hugging the SW side of map…as you get close the gorge you will notice falling down numerous ledges and then see the gorge. now u may notice u cant actaully get into the gourge…but you can walk all around it. anytime it is windy in the plateau an air elemental will spawn somewhere around the gorge and its a definate forced spawn. ive been farming them there for 2 months now and have maybe encounterd 2 ppl there since it is so far away from everything else. killing an elemental yields anywhere from 1-3 clusters of that element which in this case is wind which sell for 3-4k on my server in sandy.
the best part is that the elemental will respawn it seems in 5-9 min so just keep circling the gorge until u see it again. now what if its not windy in the plateau? thats when you exit the little area through the NW part near the edge of the map (its the only way to get up the ledges you fell down) you will notice on the map a small pond/lake in the north central part. if its raining head there and a water elemental will most likely be sitting there waiting to die. sometimes these are camped by 1 or 2 ppl so you might not be able to grab one unless you are there when it starts to rain in the first place.
water clusters go for about 1-2k on my server in sandy, possibly more in windy. if its not raining or windy weather then walk the path thats south of the pond/lake that runs through the middle of the area. this is where rams spawn which can drop 2-10k in materials like ram horns and skins. if you lucky you may see lumbering lambert which drops some other goodies.
careful if you see an even bigger ram, as he is basically a HNM which will destroy you. the rams seem to spawn near the areas where it looks like there is rocks that look like building ruins. keep this up and youll make tons of gil in no time! subbing thf may be best to maximize drops from the elementals.
if your having trouble finding windy or wet weather, ask the weather man in S.sandy i believe near the N.sandy zone. if your not up for selling wind crystals, use them to synth lumber from the guild and selling it on ah for even more of a profit! this is a great easy way that requires minimal walking and attention. Ive never farmed for a complete day but im sure if you did you make some killer gil! also while walking around the gorge look for any gobs sheeps rock eaters or huge wasps as u can sell stacks of sheep teeth, get zinc ores which go for about 1k in sandy (maybe 600-900) and beehive chips go for about 3k a stack. its definately a more reliable way to make gil rather than spend coutnless hours camping NM’s that have their drops nerfed even if you would get claims on it. it might be a good idea to be lvl 25+ for this since i dont know what lvl rams are nor the elementals since im lvl 57. better to be a higher lvl to minimize downtime. if your really lazy just wait till its windy and farm the elementals then when its not go afk XD anything works its great money and if your lucky u can get 9k gil on one elemental from 3 clusters! Good Luck
sorry this is so long i just hate those strats that say 5 words and have no details ><
