Zeni per Image rates

[VZX]

EP or VT doesn't matter much as far as my experience goes when SoI was Imps.

I can't tell about TW though, one time we got DC MNK Sahagin from SSG yielded up to 88z per picture, the other time I tried to get it from Yuhtunga Jungle WHM Sahagin and only got 33z

With HNMs can you trade those pictures in at any time and receive a lot of zeni? I never actually tried just stuck with the regular mobs.

[Tomino]

I take dynamis mobs give 15 zeni each as they're considered level 0 or something like that?
Even NMs only gave me 16 zeni max.

Bump on this a bit, what are other good mobs to take pics of when you dont feel like going after what he wants? Card Aw'Euvi sounds good, but what about the ones inside?

And how about any closer mobs that give good base rewards?

Family bonuses:

Bird: Lesser Colibri or Colibri: Family bonus gets you about 45 - 50 per.
Lizard: Woodland Runners or Carrage Lizards 50 - 55 per.
Amorph: Leeches or Slimes 38 - 43 per.
Vermin: Dragon Flies in Mire, or Bees in Woodlands 38 - 50 per.
Beast: Marid or Black Sheep 40 - 65 per.
Plantoid: Traps in Mire Saplings 38 - 45 per.
Beastmen: Any 42 - 48 per.
Arcaina:
Undead: Fomor 42 per.
Dragon: Pucks 38 - 42 per.
Demon: Imps 42 per.

That's off the top of my head, but I think that should give you a rough idea of a decent 'effort to point' ratio set.

Aw'euvhi in Al'tieu (Limbus Card NM) is consistantly worth 65~70 Zeni regardless of current desired mob. This is assuming you're taking pics at <5% health, of course. I usually use those for when you have horrible zeni mobs.

Have a question, and am wondering if anyone knows the answer (I'll probably try it regardless, and find out myself):

When the requested class is Elementals, do SMN pets work?

[Spekkio]

i know people have tried dragoon wyverns when the request was wyverns and got numbers in the 20's i think. you can try, but don't be surprised if you're disappointed.

Yes, it was Dark Elementals at one point, due to lack of darkess weather in Xarcarbard I decided to try a Demon's Elemental in the castle

Got 50~60 zeni each, quite neat and very easy.

At the risk of hijacking the thread, has anyone figured out the conditions for the zeni target changing? People around here seem to think it changes after a certain amount of zeni have been awarded total, or a certain number of pictures turned in, but I haven't seen anything that proves it's not just a timed change.

[Lyramion]

It´s pretty logical that it´s not a timed change - at least not excusively:

- Common and easy to get to enemies change very fast. Prime example are Colibri where just everyone steps infront of town.

- Uncommon or hard enemies can take hours and hours to change. Prime example is the Oboron.


There might be a max time limit on the change but there also devinetly is a zeni limit.

Thanks, I hadn't tried this myself after all and am grateful for the knowledge.

I went and tested because some BLM was bitching about the Dark Elementals in sky being too difficult to do, and against my suggestion, I went to try it for myself and found that it worked ok, and it was good as I was able to AFK when needed and not really get killed, but those elementals were quite spell spammy.

For the effort and for some "spare change Zeni" (since it was in the 50s) I think it was well worth it.

As for wyverns and DRG Pet Wyverns, I'm not sure how that system works so I can't comment on:

[mackerel]

Logic and SE don't always go together, I'm looking for something more like proof. Even knowing that different targets are being asked for on two different servers at this exact time would be better proof than logic.

i had it change in the middle of my turning in images which did not pass any seemingly significant time in either game or rl. in addition, the odds of the target changing while i was turning them in if it were not cause and effect would be rather small. finally, unpopular targets hang around for a long time, but common targets will change in hours.

edit: beaten by many hours b/c i forgot to hit f5... i r smart.
