    Best way to earn seals 1.21+

    As the title suggests.

    Has anyone experimented which methods to earn seals as fast as possible?

    I'm aware of the different ways to accumlate seals, but am curious as to what is the fastest.

    Would value your inputs and experiences post 1.21 in regards to this.

    My own opinions is that camping NM's and handing in their EX drops would be the most efficient.

    But this is because I have yet to retry Caravan escort, which I found previously to be inefficient.

    NM drops probably are the best... There are locations with multiple NMs close to each other, such as East of Cedarwood (Gertrude and Old-Six Arms) or Nanawa mines.

    A good darkhold run can net you a massive amount of seals but of course you'll need 8 people. Other than that I still think provisioning is the best and the safest now that they reset after 28 hours.

    I text all method here is the list (remember, this is for lvl 50 with the quickest way w/o trouble or add in annoying feeling):

    GC quest 3 stars (solo):
    /poke quest : if you only kill he mobs have crystal & the mobs need to hunt, you ll earn 110 seals in 4 min max
    protect: the most boring, 110 seals 15 min
    kill as many as possible: to earn 110 seals you need to have 7/2 on 3 type of the list

    note: the 3 stars are lvl 46, the reward is 100 seals for complete, the last 10 are from bonus for did the job well. You can do this with 4 stars but it is not worth it as you got 5 seals more and will waste more effor

    Caravan escort (best setup is 6-8 player with: 2 WHM 6 BLM or 1 PLD 2 WHM 5 BLM)
    160 seals to 240 seals /10 min or 15 min depend on the kill speed and the protect. By the time you finish the escort the next one should be up in 2-3 min or instant depend on the time you finish, so it is a never ending of boring grind

    DH.....not even worth it, the time consume + not everyone in the pt got seals, it is the worst farm method imo

    NM hunt:
    you can do this as farm method but I will not recommend you to do, because it is just not worth it base on luck to get items and the competition + the mob respawn time for 250 seals that might required 5+ kills to get

    conclusion:

    the Best: Caravan escort
    good: GC solo quest
    ok: NM hunt
    worst: DH

    note: I dont say totorak in here is because it is the same as DH, it might be faster and if you take the longest route, most in pt should get seals, but by the time you finish it, you might got more seals by do caravan escort or GC solo quest

    Totorak is the best. Go in with 2 people, guarantee 4-6 drops if you are able to pop 5 chest, that is roughly 1.5k seals per run which takes about 20min.

    Dark Hold, we've scheduled regular weekly darkhold runs for GC seals, full party of 8 everyone randoms at the start to get drop order, which just rotates after each run, can easily fight 4-5 runs in a night to get 2 weapons each which is 3000 GC seals, and anything that drops randomly from chests on the way down goes to the person it drops to, no arguments, no drama, just quick clean runs, we even managed a full clear in under 25 minutes and got all 5 chests, give it a few weeks and we'll be doing it all the time.

    DH the worst? Go in with 4 capable people, pop 4 chests. Do it 4 times, 4 items for each person. 6k Seals right there in roughly 2h(if you're slow). Otherwise, yeah Toto Rak is prolly the best.
