Money quests

[Geostigma]

Just putting a quick list together of quests that you can make a decent profit off of.

Recall’s, teleports, drain, aspir, warp, warp2, retrace, sleepga2, mage ballad, Norg Ninja scrolls, brown belt, angelstone, deathstone.

I don't really count the adaman ingot from the past bastok missions, not worth the trouble really. Just want to know if i'm forgetting anything.

Repeatable avatar quests can be decent for money if you are not lazy.

Just accept both quests (the solo one and the normal one) for each avatar and use the solo quest to warp you to the battlefield (by trading the mini tuning fork to the npc). Once there, do not trade the mini tuning fork to the crystal, just click it normally to enter the normal battle which you can win easily.

You need to be on SMN job to be eligible for the free warp though. So I guess this only works for 70+ summoners. Or you can find a summoner friend to leech on.

The smn quest thing a friend thought of doing. He had a few acc's and he'd bot 2-3 extra's per bc.
So 6 avatars @10k Each. x3-4 = 3-40k per bc. X6 = 180-240k per day, x7 was 1.26m-1.68m per week.
Even solo per week it isn't bad if you have a few hrs to kill. 60x7 = 420k Per week, the best part is, its raw gil. (That was one of vyl's many crazy idea's)

Thread title gave me hopes that where destroyed.
Scrolls are good money if you never, EVER are going to level that job. For example, mages doing the utsusemi ichi quest. I did it on my 2'nd account which is WHM onry forever and always. But if you ever, EVER want to melee with a job ... well, balls to you.


I do wish there was something like campaign ops that gave money; hard to bot & somewhat quick. But since this is FFXI it would take to long to complete vs reward or give a useless amount of gil.

So if I'm in party with a smn and both have quest active we both get warped to cloister?

No, you have to be on SMN main.

So i'll assume since nobody has mentioned any others I have listed them all?

If ur bored, you can make a nice little chunk of gil. 59,630 gil from the quest, not to mention all the stuff the NMs drop that you have to kill, and the stacks of stuff you will get by killing PH's to get them to pop.

The lady bug quest gives you like 3k for i think 3 ladybug wings which are super common drops. Thats a pretty super high gil reward for such an easy quest considering all those long quests in main starting cities that only give 500-1k and arent repeatable.

Not sure if it's what you had in mind, it's not an easy quest for low lvl players. But the Ashu Talif quests are easy and can make good money if you're lucky.

For lower level players, I think Garrison is widely overlooked. A lot of the money I made as a newb was from linkshell garrisons in North Gust. The equip and manne parts are lots of money for a low level player starting out. Plus it's kind of fun and different.

No, you have to be on SMN main.

SMN Main AND not have completed the solo fight for that specific cloister. I made that mistake and gained my avatars solo, and now I cannot warp to the cloister using the minifork option.

Oh don't forget black tiger fangs/hides. Running around carpenters landing where the kitties and mushrooms and bee's are is nice money.

4 lady bug wings

I appriciate the responses, I wasn't really refering to farming or repeatable quests, just the quests that have nice items that usually sell for over 50k. I'll just assume since nobody has yet added anything to my list that I haven't missed any.

Check your server prices for Faerie Piccolo -- a year ago it was ~50k on Asura, but last I checked it had fallen to 20 or so. The quest's very, very easy.
