Seven easy steps for making cash!
Selling Items at Auction House
1) Fire Crystals and Dark Crystals are the most needed items in FFXI check the auction house to see their current sell price.
2) The first method to make greats amount of Gil is to buy spells at the mage shop and sell them at the auction house for easy 1k+ profits each time. Best way is to check prices of spells in the auction house and write them down. After that simply go to the mage shop and compare the spells to see which ones will give you the most money.
3) This is the most profitable and easiest way to make money in FFXI.
1) Go a city and find Armors, Swords, Rings, and Shields that are rare and for sell.
2) Write down the prices of those items.
3) Travel to the 3 other cities and see the prices of those items for sell.
4) Now on average item prices vary Greatly from one town to another.
5) You can make up to 30k from a single trip.
6) Usually its best to see the random items the 3 starter towns have and compare them to the Jueno auction house.
7) When you are a high enough player you can use a airship to quickly travel from each town.
I have made 200k or more per house doing this.
Hunting Monsters and Selling in Auction House
1) Go to the Valkrum Dunes and kill goblins. Goblins drop rare pieces of goblin armor. They sell for about 500 Gil each piece in the auction house. Run a hunting macro to kill enough goblins to get yourself a full pack of them. Then just place them in the auction house and go kill more goblins. This should make you on average 15k an hour.
2) At West Rom outside Sandoria you can kill lots of sheep. They drop sheep skins that sell for about 500 Gil each. You once again just follow the same method as goblin armor and make once again about 15k per hour.
3) At East Sarabatuba near Windrush you can hunt crawlers for silk. Their silk sells for about 1k Gil each. With the same monster hunting and auction house methods you can make about 15-30k an hour with them.

To learn how to do these quests, go to
1. Click here
Doing all of these quests takes 1 or so hours. Once you do that, go to the metal works. Speak to unlucky rat, trade him slimy oil He'll give you a warp scroll
Part 2:
Go to the AH, and put up the warp scroll for sale. It'll sell from 10k-15k depending on the auction house.
10x10=100k. This will require 10 characters and 10 hours. It's 2x faster with dual accounts. It may seem like a lot, but some people can't make that much in 2 weeks.
Good luck. Remember, ALL items for the quests can be found in AH.
