EDIT: In fairness, however, while coin-farming is pretty easy, even solo, and is a very low-risk, low-investment activity, it's not really fair to say it isn't time-consuming. The reality is it IS pretty tedious and random, and it really does take up a good amount of time. The great thing about it is that you don't really need anybody's help and access is just a Retrace scroll away, so you can do it entirely on your own schedule in a way you can't really say for many things in FFXI, even now. I'd go nuts if I did it all in one push, but I can go bit by bit and take a break to do something else without taking anybody else into account.

I got a Coin of Glory over my lunch break today! Insane!
Which woe are you guys are to solo? Explain please.
