The everyday life of a monk

I never broke 20k an hour even at 70+. Where does anyone get 80k an hour from solo farming? Or can that just be chalked up to people's bragging and exageration?

On a above-average chocobo dig I can make 40-50k in 20 minutes, sometimes up to 75-100k if it's an exceptional one. So saying you can make 80k an hour farming solo is plausible, just not all the time.
 
If you put 3 or 4 months into hardcore digging, it is. Don't expect to go out the first (or tenth, or hundreth, heh) time and make much, if any gil.

The best thing to do is pt up with people in your ls or friends around your level. Ive been doing that for about a week and ive shot up from 56 up to 60, as well as just getting G3 done with the whm i always pt with. What my pt trys and does is get all the members it can from the ls, and then fill in the spots with random joes, for example we usually dont have a tank so we just get one thats searching at the time. You know then that the pt has people who can do their jobs well, so all your gonna be concentrating on is getting all SCs sorted and doing your job the best you can.

I used to be like you, always getting into bad pts and dieing every now and then, but what im doing now is to put it simply, just amazing, i wish i had done it sooner. Hope this helps :wink:

Yeah Flymop, you've grabbed this random joe for a few parties... too bad you shot up to level 60 something Dark Knight. You left me behind :oops:
 
Im curently lvl 57 with about 10k till lvl 58. The only way that i've been able to lvl is by impresing the people that do offer me a party. They usualy remember that I do a great job at it, and end up inviting me later on. I havent had any problems hiting crabs then again i farm like a mofo to suport my sole sushi adiction.

No rest for the wicked :wink:
 
I wanna know why Allakhazam says Goblin Smithy can drop Chainmail. And if they can, I'd liketo know which zone, cause you know that'd be a pretty easy 20k per drop =P

Really though, I think one of the best farmzones is Toraimarai. Girtab drop an 70k axe (not rare, I don't think), Doom Soldiers drop Cold Bone (~80k, rare), Starmites drop Starmite Shells (3k per three), as well as Scorpion Claws/Shells, Beastmen Blood, Beetle Jaws...all ya gotta do is charm a Mousse and...oh right... :roll:

I also noticed the lack of any good, or even smart players. There are some, but most have no clue whats going on. 90% of them would rather rush in and pull to get the exp going than work out a skillchain, and resulting Magic Burst for me to work with. All I can say is if you choose to tough it out, MNK only gets better past 60! :D

My favorite is when they either a.) keep switching SCs or b.) just spam random WSs for random SCs. Keeps a nuker on tehir toes.

well, I can usually get 50-60k in zi'tah in an hour, sometimes more, sometimes less, depends on luck i guess. Can usually match that on teleport whoreing on a good day, and there's ALWAYS a mountain of gil to be made warp whoring in yhoator jungle. People are so desperate there to not have to walk back that they'll pay just about any price below 5k XD

Oh, and P.S. Mephs was once a mule for a higher lvl player that has taken up playing him full time. that's how he funded his crafting. He definitely doens't buy gil. I've watched him crafting on his main/ex-main. XD I wish I could get some of those HQs.

Middle Delkfutts tower, they drop the whole set but very rare to get the more expensive body or legs.
 
The Smithys in Ordelle's also drop Chain pieces - the Hose, at least.

MNK 50-60 is a pain in the ass for a lot of reasons:

1) Crabs. Crabs, crabs, crabs, crabs, crabs. Sure, you CAN level off of Bones and other stuff, but just try to get people to go to Garlaige/Gustav.

2) As above, crabs. But now it's because you can't do Distortion until Howling Fist, and every goddamn party wants it. Never mind that we can close Impaction with Raging Fists, and crabs are weak to Thunder... everyone wants to MB Freeze, so you're screwed.

3) More expensive equipment. Thought you were done with the 1M Kote, 900k Brown Belt, 400k Jujitsu Gi, etc? Heh. Say hello to 3-5M Cross-Counters (or 1M for the 'gimped' Spartan Cesti,) 4-5 million for Scorpion Harness, and another 1M for Kung Fu Shoes (if you want 'em) and 4M for Spectacles. Hope you found a good farming spot.

4) People on their second/third/fourth jobs are taking to Monk like a fat kid to a Snickers, so you have to compete with other MNKs that already have all this expensive gear.

So yeah MNK 50-60 is rough, but I plan to get through it once I heal and I know you can too.

You have never seen Mephs equipment have you? :shock:
 
Seriously, he's got Adargas.

For SHOWING OFF. Funny, though, and cool looking.
 
mephs is a pushover monk...

asfar as monk-power

Sparky > Mephs GYAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
 
ok

his gear is so good, you would think he buys gil >.>

lol i asked him last night and he said no, so i told him to take that as a compliment
 
All I can say is, ya gotta hang in there on Monk because in the end you will be having so dam much fun playing it.

Yeah I saw Meph's gear. Scorp Harness +1 in bazaar...

I can make 80k in an hour. It would be a rare day, but 50k is about my bare minimum now. I have since started keeping a farming log to find which days I am most succesful. I do use a 50 Thief so that helps, but I farm low level junk. If I get Alchemy up to about 60, that could jump to 60-70k an hour average ^^.
