Real low level questions :)

[Zetanio]

Well. I can't get my old account back until one of those return to Vana'diel events starts again so I'm stuck with a brand new account.

Questions:

How can I make decent money at low level?

What are the current needed jobs ingame? I've been out of the loop for 9 months.

Is soloing more plausible these days or only for BST?

Probably could make money from BCs and assorted drops from mobs. From what I've noticed the crystal market is pretty much shot on my server.

Your second question really depends more on what LS you're in, but I'd say that for the most part tank jobs are needed. On my server the problem isn't finding refresh anymore, it's finding tanks.

Soloing has gotten a bit easier with the changes to signet and sanction, but BST still is probably the best soloer. BLM can one shot BST pets definitely with AM, possibly before (Although a bit more of a risk), and BLU is a pretty solid choice too.

[Zetanio]

So I should start with WAR and get to 30 and go for either PLD or BLU? I had BLU before I lost my account and was loving it.

Is that a sig with someone wearing chainmail?! Why, yes, indeed it is... LOL, don't see that every day. Not bashing you dude or anything, just rare to see low level geared sig's.

Well it'd be a bit absurd for a 45 RDM to have a Dalmatica in his sig, wouldn't it?

[isladar]

Shh, don't tell KI.

[Tajin]

i like the chainmail model .

OT: Selling crystal stacks is always a consistent income (not the best income) but its constant, and enough to pay for ramdom food, meds and transportation.

Another nice way to stay aloft is to not throw anything out unless you need to make space for something better like a Beastmen/Kindred seal. AH or NPC absolutely everything you get.

As far as needed jobs, you will never ever ever go wrong in EXP or endgame activities if you level BRD, RDM, WAR, or NIN. Of course, other jobs aren't obsolete at all, but the aforementioned jobs have a place in almost everything. Most importantly, though, play whichever job you have fun playing.

Simple as this..

Buy items from vendors that sell for more on the AH.

You make the difference by providing a service to the lazy people that can't be bothered to travel to windy to buy things directly from the vendors.

Example of items that sell well..

Level 1-10 spells in starter cities (usually a pretty decent mark up for these spells)
Level 20-25 spells sold at jeuno.. (also a decent mark up)

Please always check prices / speed of sales before loading up on things that are not profitable / dont sell fast.

If your country is first in Conquest Stoneskin and I think Diaga would probably make you decent money. I used to do the buy at one side of Bastok Markets AH on the other side for gil thing back when I started a lot.

Copper Ingots and Sheep Leather are low level synths you can easily do.

[Guyverarmor]

the low lvl synth mats are always good gil maker. like stacks of arrow lumber, etc. (atleast for me). gardening Is also a very good money maker If you do It correctly. I would focus really on just the mats for reg. synths that people do. Also doing the "Buy low, Sell high" method Is good for the spells most of all IMO. Another thing is farming the grain, fruit and vegi seeds are ok profit since the sappling mobs aren't hard to find at all. You really just can't do one thing anymore for full gil profit, gonna have to combo them.

Next about the jobs, I would say due to the way pts go now, RDM BLU and BRD would be your best bet, but personally, I would play whatever Job you really want.

Even though BLMs and BLUs and RDMs have really bumped up their solo'in abilities.... I think In the long run, BSt would still be the best.

Hopefully my post helps you a little bit

BST may have an easier time of it at certain levels, but at many points along the way, and definitely 75+, BLMs and BLUs can solo exp much faster. I enjoy BST a lot, but you'll find solo merits very slow, and certainly have a harder time participating in end-game than a BLM.

How can I make decent money at low level?

Farm stuff that's used in common, consumable synths, or is high demand. Silk thread, beehive chips, slime oil, beastman blood, etc etc,

What are the current needed jobs ingame? I've been out of the loop for 9 months.

Same as usual RDM WHM BLM NIN are all good. DD jobs for Merits, WAR has really taken over.

Soloing is very feasable for BLU, BLM, and at a lot of levels PUP and SMN (maybe even DRG).

[Thistle]

What he said. Could do brass and bronze ingots as well, slightly higher level.

[Guyverarmor]

Thistle! once again, thanks for that mantle you synthed me

[Zetanio]

Thanks for all the responses!!! I'm gonna try to take all the advice y'all gave me but there really is a lot of it.

As for my sig. That's my (old) SAM/RNG geared for some serious Yuhtunga action. I love the way chainmail looks

WAR is popular now, but BRD has been and always will be the king of invites.

[Eldelphia]

BLM is very popular but not at all for xp. Not that having had 2 'princess' jobs (WHM, BRD) levelling SMN and BLM was hell or anything...

I've had something like 7 parties on my BLM (including trios) since level 42... I hit 69 today. Beastmen pets and Beastmen rangers ftw.

[Phla]

although it could piss some people off you could camp certain guilds for items such as saruta cotton / arrowwood/ash lumber and sell it on AH for profit

arrowwood for example cost maybe 360g from vendor sell on aH for 1.5k so its guarenteed gil as long as your item sells (duh xD)
