alexxbadass.....

not likely , if this was your means of making gil as a thf in ffxi pls change jobs i am a lvl 63 thf and i can easily make 1 mil in 2-3 hours tops and that is bare minimum i make on a daily basis.

take a bit of time and investigate items in a.h and on alla.com site see which would be best bet to farm to make gil.

hunting rams in la thiene will net profit u almost 500k in less than a few hours....

just sell all your stuff to npc may be way less than a.h price, but it is a continuous source of gil..

Chill out

Do you know how many mobs there are in Movopolis? It would take you days with the 5 min timer on steal to get something from every one of them. This isnt a nerf, just pick a new target when you get something. You wont have to worry about killing them. They'll die before you have to worry about starting at mob #1 again.

And btw, you could just make money the way everyone else does at level 60, not like you cant solo at that level.

How could anyone get mad at this patch? The rule where you can you only steal from a mob once has been around for years. They're just fixing a glitch that was introduced with the latest patch.

You know.... I've been in money crunches too... but buying gil is not the answer. Here's something i do from time to time when i'm low...

Fire Crystals: Farmed (Free)
Copper Ores: I believe 11 gil for one copper ore from any port from any town other than jeuno.
Synth: Fire crystal plus four copper ores to make a copper ingot.
Now let's do the math together:
4xores+fire crystal=copper ingot
11gilx4=44gil
You've just made a copper ingot from 44gil worth in materials (remember the fire crystals are farmed. Since 44gil makes one copper ingot:
44gilx12=528gil
You've just made yourself a stack of copper ingots for 528gil!
Not sure on other servers, but on Garuda, a stack of copper ingots goes for 30k or you can sell them in singles for 5k each in jeuno AH.
Math again:
5kX12=60k (60k-528=59,472 now subtract your AH fees and you get your overhead or in this case profits) I usually dont have the patience to sell them in singles unless i have a few left in uneven stacks.
30k-528=29,472 Now subtract your AH fees and you get your overhead or in this case profits

The first method yields the largest profits but will take longer. That's an easy way to make a few gil here and there. Please don't *****, because Copper ingots from copper ores is a relatively low smithing skill cap. Enjoy your Gil and have fun. 61WAR/NIN on Garuda, Pvcchic, see you Garudites in game sometime. Peace!

Well, not that I'm really complaining about a 2 hour maintenance, but what I REALLY want to know is who out there is providing SE with my work schedule? It's like they know exactly when my days off are and schedule their maintenances when I'm not at work.

This has got to be the 6th or 7th time that a maintenance has occurred during my day off, and I swear it's some sort of conspiracy (and since I work for a Japanese company this makes it even more likely) ^^

um...

hey guys that's not what they fixed, they said this WAS a 3rd pt software tool that let you steal repeatedly from the same mob, by resetting your 'steal' timer.

Lilveb,
Umm in his sig it says hes only THF 15 but I guess that could be a lie as well, but by the sound of it your seem like a very distrustfull person, my heart goes out to you..

#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 18 2006 at 11:40 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Wtf is wrong with SE? They do all this round about half effort crap. I'm a BST and I get nerfed because of gilsellers MPK'n. THF gets nerfed, because of cheaters (probably gillsellers)use 3rd party programs.

If it was as simple as prohibiting the sale of Gil online, you think SE wouldn't have already done this?

SE doesn't directly profit from the sale of Gil online. They profit indirectly from it due to the fact that people buying and selling Gil will continue to play and thus continue to pay their monthly fee.

Nowhere have I seen anything that's said that SE "condones" the sale or purchase of Gil online. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure it's something they prohibit in the Terms of Service. However, since it's nigh impossible to figure out who's selling and who's buying, there's not a whole lot SE can do to stop this.

Also, the issue with Steal wasn't due to a 3rd party program, it was an error they discovered after implementing the patch aimed at fixing MPK.

Broaden your mind a little bit. It wasnt ment to be taken literaly. I was referring to the people thats stuck through all the other crap SE has changed in their effort to what they so call "make the game better." Major Changes to a MMO after its been out so long usualy just pisses off and cuases the people thats been playing it for a long time to quit.

"Once agian, I'm not just refering to this patch."

#Anonymous, Posted: Jan 18 2006 at 7:30 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) For Carbuncle they failed to mention that Fafnir was in NA prime time, had to fix that too. Can't let those damned North Americans be camping Fafnir (not that we can beat JP bots or anything anyway).

Heh

DRK/THF here. Glad they did that with the steal ability. Don't want to be selfish and take items the PT might want!

:O

I don't think you get what exactly was done...

After the MPK "fix", the monsters didn't actually respawn as the same monster, but rather another new monster of the same name (Which is what they said WOULDN'T happen, but I digress...)

Anyway, a THF could steal, pull the mob out of its radius, hide or zone (so the mom depops) then when it repops, steal again and repeat.

Now, when the mob repops, you can't steal another item if you already have.

#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 18 2006 at 11:35 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ok poor baby. Now you are going to have to find a new mob to steal from. Or kill the mob and wait. My heart goes out to you. By the sound of it your one of the people that would steal, run, hide, wait and repeat as needed

??? Your comment doesn't really seem to make sense. The person was explaining what the fix actually did, since some people felt that it was a nerf. I don't understand why you are insulting someone for explaining things to people.

And Mikhalia, Rate up, thanx for clarifying what they did.

<Corrected a type-o>
