Reopened: How can Empyrean be better than Relics?

[wish12oz]

The only way to make 3m+ a day from fishing is if you have a buyer for gugrusaurus/lik, and they are going to get their rod if you're fishing up 3m/day of fish for them. So that gravy train will run dry quick.

Hakuryu sell for 10,490g. At 200 a day thats 2.1M/day per character. And it's impossible to hit fatigue on those without cheating.

There is also no point to fishing on a mule if you're fishing up 3m/day of any type of fish because you will spend all your time on your main, he will never hit fatigue on anything that can make that amount of gil. An alt requires you to actually get ebisu rod again and on top of that pay an extra 12.95/month to SE(and again cheat and who is going to risk getting an ebisu rod banned?). These are large obstacles to this method of making gil you are overlooking. Almost nobody but the crazy are going to do this.

You may as well say "If you farm abyssea 20 hours a day on four characters you can make 10mil a day. How long is it going to take me to make a relic making 10mil a day?" without taking into account that requires you to play 20 hours a day and actually HAVE four characters.

Who doesnt have an alt to begin with?
[Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XI FORUM Guidelines.] And this along with the other method that was previously mentioned by someone other then me is how 90% of relics were made. So lets see here, which is harder, not playing ffxi and having a ton of gil and buying a relic, or going out and fighting some NMs, no matter how easy.

EDIT: I also clearly said you make the gil by fishing then selling the fish to an NPC, quit saying I wont be able to find buyers.
