Just wanted to throw in some ideas on how to make money at the lower levels. Because everything costs so much so suddenly, it is hard to keep up with gear. So feel free to post things you can do to earn gil at lower levels, by that I mean level 1-10.
Can be quests, item drops, stolen items, etc.
I know there are quest guides and item guides that show what can be used for what, but it's hard to remember everything that's worth keeping. For example, I saw that the "Making Headlines" quest rewards 560 gil, so I decieded to do it. It seemed simple, talk to 4 people and inspect a door in the Ruins.
Finding the 4 taru's were easy, but much to my dismay, the Horutoto Ruins part was incredibly tough and I could not do it. The area you need to go has tons of high level critters (Tough-Extremely Tough checks to my level 7 thief). I could not get past them even timing their movement, etc.
So I know that it can't be done alone until around level 10-12. Varies per class, of course, because I don't know anything about other classes.
Without further ado, here is my list of stuff:
Item Dr[/u]
A slice of land crab meat (rare) River Crabs 200+ gil to vendor
Silk Thread (rare) Crawlers 800+ gil fast sell to AH
Quest It[/u]
Angelica's Signature:
This can be done at level 7, and really cuts the price on level 7 armor. Once you get to level 7, find a quest about Angelica (I forget the name). She will ask you to buy a level 7 decent armor, for Thieves it is Leather Vest (I wear this now). When you equip it, she will make a painting, and give it to you. And a signature I don't know what it's for.
Furnish the painting in your mog house if you want, but personally I sold it for 195 gil to vendor.
Hat-In-Hand quest:
Find it on your own, once again, it is in Waters. Reward is 200 gil and a 2 def +1 wind hat. Can be done at level 1.
If you have any other ideas for lowbie quests, let me know, and help each other get through the lower levels! Kerayu, Mithra Thief of Phoenix.
