Best quest for Newbies out of Bastok is "The Cold Light of Day" using Quu fish. They are throwaway fish and you can buy a stack of 12 from AH for 200 Gil or just fish them up for free. - Trade 1 Quu behind lighthouse at H-10 in South Gustaberg - This spawns Bubbly Bernie ( Level 10 mob) Most characters can easily dispatch him level 12-14. - Loot Steam Clock - Turn in to Malene - Bastok Markets (I-5) 500 Gil Reward and about 10 minutes when running it on foot. With just a stack of Quu fish from Auction house for 200 Gil and a couple hours you will have 6000 Gil starting off. Not to bad for those starting out.

As someone who played fro 2002-2006, and is just now getting back into horizon, thank you so much. I completely forgot about signet! I couldn't figure out why the heck I wasn't getting crystals!!

Holy christ, you have made one of the most useful videos for people starting out and needing to make some cash to get a few early buys needed like spells and +1 weapons. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Can confirm you do have to zone or log out for the Gourmet quest, but I used that one a lot when starting out.

Whoever says SIgn-net instead of sig-net is a psychopath lowkey

How did you change the map position

Mobbing down easy prey in a party is a good way to farm crystals and can be done undergeared and underskilled at low level

I find selling crystals and conquest items useful enough, also once you have gear you can just use it on other jobs too

The crawler quest isn't any more lucrative than the sandy bat quest. Still 100g per drop, but you need 2 different items with the crawler quest so you could potentially get 5 of one item and 1 of the other (not uncommon in my experience) and have nothing to turn in where if you just had 6 bat wings, you get 3 turn ins. Still obviously great information and a great, detailed video. Thanks!

I haven't done any repeatable quests and in total I've made like 15k since starting, I'm a new player as well.

I never did fishing up until I started on Horizon XI. I figured I wanted to try a new approach to the game. Normally I just brute force a melee class to 75 and use that to farm gil for my other jobs. Fishing has been surprisingly addictive and fun my first go around. I know people say it's boring but making like 20k/hr fishing on my fresh level 30 character is like doing slots at a casino. I can just sit down and fish anytime I want and work towards the endless gil grind. I also have never had luck in leveling a mage class to 75 first since I had no idea how to farm on mage classes, I never understood how people do it. Now with fishing I can take BLM to 75 first :D. Looking forward to this. Not sure if I'll ever venture deep into crafting but one of the days or maybe next private server I'll take it on.

I have all +1 gear and over 100k gil all before even doing my subjob i havent even been in a pt in the dunes yet.. . My suggestion either mine, fish or farm wind crystals from bees while also farming beehive chips to sell on the AH. Also if in sandy ghelsba outpost has a cave full of the fungar mobs that drop dark crystals and an assortment of mushrooms you can sell for a decent amount as well. Farm bat wings make a mule send the mule your wings raise it's fame and use it to do the quests for drain friar rope judge necklace ECT to sell. It's not difficult to reach this level of fame but it does require atleast rank 2 in sandy to do the drain quest. These arent even all of the different ways you could be making gil. Remember to think outside the box and always check prices of singles compared to stacks. Above all else dont get discouraged because almost everyone is poor 😂

I love that despite this clearly being FFXI, UKposts thinks this is FFXIV in the gaming recommendation. Also I have to say that it only took me about 4 days playing time to make my first 100,000 gil, but then again I have 20,000 hours on retail so I kind of know what I'm doing. It's still far slower than retail to make money on Horizon. No sparks, no acheron shields, no trusts to go out and farm literally everything, and you have to walk, chocobo or outpost teleport everywhere. Everyone in my current linkshsell says life is far better without any QoL features. I'd like to disagree, but at least I enjoy a challenge. EDIT: 16 degrees below Celsius? Good lord my man, where do you live, the arctic? Wait that's only 3 degrees Farenheit, it got that cold here a few times last winter.

Good vid! The only thing I’d like to add is that San d’Oria is the worst city/nation in the game 😂

There's no H in WinDURst

Solo,d wings of fury and got 100k aastral ring, was gone the very next dsy..... horizon ah prices are bull.....!!!!!!

That’s your tip, 120gil here, 200gil there? The economy has items like 2mil+ where the heck did the Gil in the economy come from!?

lol there's nothing to argue about, my dude. It's pronounced "sig-nit". All you gotta do is look in a dictionary. :P

Supernova starts you off with 1mill, faster running speed, has hot keys for different camp locations. If you’re all about grinding for months, more power to you!
