Is there anything worth farming in this game?

[Blissa]

I played FFXI on PS2 and there was a ton of stuff to farm. I had a PLD and I use to make all kinds of gil. I made a PLD in this game purely for farming. But so far I haven't found anything worth farming. It either sells for pennies or it doesn't sell. Is there anything in this game worth farming? Gathering for gill is boring to me and not only that a million people are doing it and most stuff sells for pennies.

Nope everything is blue collar work as far as farming goes. Even with all craft/gather class maxed.

This game needs a reason to make people explore the open world its not going to survive on fates and instance grinding alone. People need a reason to adventure, that's what kept ffxi alive for 10+ years!

Totally agree 100% I know they want to abolish RMT, but in doing so are ruining the chances of this game to GREAT!. We need farmable items & mats and a better economy. Pieces you can craft like the abjurations in XI When added to pieces dropped of Gods and NM Made excellent and lastable armour.

It's not hard to implement it here?. EX Primals drop (X) item when you meld item (X) with a crafted item you get cool armour or accessories!.

XI had RMT all the time I played it around 5+ years yes it was annoying but did it ruin the game NO IT DIDNT!. That game has been going for 10+ years and in its prime had a really thriving economy!.

Just look around there are RMT everywhere in this game. Its no different the XI and in fact they may be worse here because people are so desperate for gill.

It depends on your server; some hunted mats are worth more than others. Problem is.... You start giving out tips on what sells well, everyone and their mother runs to sell it, everyone undercuts each other, and then that item becomes worthless. Can't even make a good profit on materia anymore. It's sad.

This QFT. is the sole reason why you can't make gils.

simple answer, yes.

check your MB and see what sells high and often. gather those but be careful not to flood the market. if you do others will swoop in and undercut it to nothing.

At the moment...pretty much nothing sells well, unfortunately (at least not on my server). There's not a lot that people need in terms of crafted gear thanks to the decision to make crafted gear below dungeon gear in quality. As a result, gathered/farmed items are only useful for people leveling their crafting classes. And thanks to everyone starting to buy houses now, everyone's holding onto their gil rather than spending it to save for a house, as well as undercutting by absurd amounts out of desperation to sell to a market that isnt buying.

Something I used to farm that was normally 700-800 gil each, dropped down to 500, then overnight dropped to 200. I dont even want to think what it is now. Likewise all the foods I was selling for good amounts only 2-3 weeks ago are now at best only a quarter of what they were then. Hopefully when the housing rush dies down, people will be willing to spend again.

It's not that they made crafted gear below raid gear... it's that there is myth gear of higher ilvl than the crafted pieces. Raid gear should be better than crafted stuff; you have to work for it. When you can just farm tomes to get gear of equal ilvl as the actual raid gear, and it's better than what you could have crafted, that is when you have made the crafted gear pointless.
