40-> 50

just to comment on this.. i dunno what im doing wrong, but im only getting 2 or 3 per "seeker" event... do you get less for AE killing?

finding it highly unlikely someone got a stack in an hour

Just saw this topic pop up in new posts, and I don't have an answer for you Hanabira, but you can get a lot of red coral fishing in Bald Knoll. The only annoying part is running between the various fishing schools to get it. If you aim for it you can pull up quite a bit though.

Red coral looks like the best alternative to electrum stuff, but if you have leves to burn, that's probably the best way to go.

after i finish this stack of corals in this cave i'll likely just buy the corals from AH and take the small loss selling the rings to the vendor

Red Coral is a good way, though personally I say save the +1s for bracelets, don't know about other servers but when I was doing them they were 150k for the HQ on my server. That was maybe a month ago? Otherwise I just spammed the NQ for rings & NPC'd them. Went the Shposhae route as well, LNC AoEs, got about 10 per red clam phase or whatever you want to call it.

thats interesting.. the most i would get per "phase" was 4 or 5 if i was lucky. using 2 spells to take them down.. thats how i found out there was a limit to how many mobs can be hit by 1 AoE

I know some people may look down on this but like its been said above red coral in shposhae is the fastest way for the red coral. If you have a turbo controller you can setup your blm in the middle of the spawn area and set turbo on blizzara. You should be able to kill each wave with 2 blizzaras and as long as you are 50 you shouldn't have any problem with them beating on you until your CD's come up. Firepots sell well also if you take the time to put them up. Enjoy!

I'm a 43 GSM (almost 44). I'm currently doing Gold Ore 2x Copper Ore 1x to Rose Gold Nugget. I have Miner leveled up (leveled it to make the most of leveling GSM) and so far I've only had to invest in 100k~ buying Wind and Fire Crystals. I'm managing to do them without botching (maybe botching 1 synth in an hour of crafting?).

Also bought some Red Coral, but atm the EXP is not so great from them.

Idk how some of you can get into GSM without MIN. I'd probably be lost without it, haha.

From 40-50 I've just been spamming leves. They're pretty decent in terms of exp and you get electrum ingots from them for more exp. Very good alternative if you dont have miner leveled, or you'll like me and hate spending gil on crafts.
