Best way to earn seals 1.21+

[Avraym]

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.

i tryed nm's 1 drop out of 12 kills 3 different nm's.

i hope someone has a better way as im after seals to

[Lebannen]

do toto rak guys, thats the fastest, you are guaranteed at least 3 drops a run. Only bitch is you need someone to help you enter.

Caravan Rescues! Many Caravan Rescues!

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

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.

how often do you do darkhold and get something in every chest every time you go? cause i for sure don't

I'm talking about Batraal chests. With an effort of like 20-25min you will get 4 chests with an item, each worth 1.5k seals handing it in. Do those 4-5 times, and everyone in the group will have 6k seals.

The items on the way to Batraal are just "extra"

But considering your comment I assume you never cleared DH, otherwise you'd know Batraal drops are guaranteed.

Unfortunately the items aren't guaranteed, when we did it on Monday a couple of chests only had Vampire Plants in it. Still, I agree with Thug (I should do, he organised the runs after all) that the DH runs are very efficient, I came away with 5450 seals after an evening of running (3 or 4 hours), that's the equivalent of 50 GC leves or about 12.5 hours of continuous effort and a lot more interesting.
