    Mercenary Tanks: What's your going rate?

    I charge 1,000 gil to run one of the three level 15-20 dungeons, and 1,500 for Halatali and Thousand Maws. Been neglecting to continue my own main story since I started my little business. Making bank. If it's this good as a lowbie, then I know you higher up sell-shields are raking it in. This is for bragging: How much are you making selling your services for the duty finder deprived, you mercenary scum?

    20 minutes work or more for 1500 gil? Rather mine something for 10 minutes and make 50k+

    You should try adding a few 0's to that. Primal Mercs often charge a few mil, split between the 7 players doing the merc. Lets call that minimum 100k for 5-10 minutes of your time depending on Fight/Cost. This almost sounds like a good idea, but if I was to do it, I would have 2 other people and would charge a minimum of 50k to each of us of anything below 30 and 100k for anything higher. And even that isn't very profitable compared to many other methods.

    Krikey! You're opening my mind to the possibilities!

    @KK Well, it's 3k since I always take two dps, but I'm a lowbie and I'm still learning the nuances of the market. That and I prefer fighting and meeting people on my server to a more honest trade.

    people charge to run low level dungeons..... lol

    people should learn to use the duty finder and just do fates whilst they wait.

    I just cant agree in charging for that low level stuff.
    I can understand the fc runs for ex primals and the like though. but prices would have to be reasonable because otherwise who can afford it.?

    It's not good as a low level. It's terrible, you can make tones of gil at low levels. Even a few simple quests gives you that...

    Isn't the low-level "in need" roulette bonus more than 1500?

    ?
    Of course~ Que times are crap no matter your level. My repeat business stems from people who just want to finish story missions. For some reason, they all just sit around dungeon entrances.
