Making a million gil in FFXI is as easy as making $9332.28 in real life. If you imagine gil = Yen, lol

I'm talking earning/making it, not buying it. You can't 'buy' real life money, unless you're a prostitute of some kind, lol.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool Actually, that's a legit concern. I was a crafter in both FFXI and FFX|V, and the most I ever had at one time was 1.5 mil (which I may or may not have obtained illegally). On FFX|V, I farmed and crafted for days, and the most I ever got was 400k. Maybe some of us just weren't meant for riches in MMOs. Mag, are you an RMT? You can tell me. I am your friend. *turns on tape recorder and holds close to Mag.*
I dunno, I think everyone has done some RMT in their career.
I remember when scorpion harnesses were 15m and I was sick of moat carp and tiger fangs and spent like $25 to get it.

Now if you were purely doing it through npc Gil generation that's a different story.

Thought about it a lot. especially when I started wanting to buy Alex and what not. Surprisingly haven't touched it. I've just grown use to almost never having more than a 1-3 mil due to laziness.

I remember when Scorpion Harness and Haubergeon were 15m. I laughed and got an Assault Jerkin instead. Such a gloriously hideous armor piece.

Think I sucked it up and stuck in hachiman for a long while until I could afford it.

AJ was an inside joke for me and a few friends. I went like 1/30 on it, so when it finally dropped it was a big deal because of how long it took to get it. Always threatened to drop it and force them to farm me another.
Still had it in storage last time I logged off.

Depends on how good you are at investing, gambling, etc. and how much capital you already have.
But here's an interesting read, this class at Standford University was given $5 and 2 hours to make as much money as possible. The winning team raked in $650 is says.
What would you do to earn money if all you had was five dollars and two hours?

I remember when scorpion harnesses were 15m and I was sick of moat carp and tiger fangs and spent like $25 to get it. I bought Gil when I first bought the game too. I thought that was the ordré de jour
Can't remember what I spent it on though; Probably crafting.
I thought about it but XI had ways of providing at different stages, enough for me to survive quite nicely.
First job to make money was harvesting red moko grass and prostituting out my teleport spells. :D I forgot out teleport prostitution. Shouting/trying to invite shouters before everyone else... Oh the competition!

not even gonna lie, after I'd played ffxi for around a year I was still only a lv50something blm and I couldnt afford staves or torques or anything. This was around 2006 but I had my mom go to IGE for christmas i think and get me 1 mil "DONT ASK WHAT ITS FOR" but that lasted me like 2 years lol >_____>

I bought 15mil that one December, for like $15~20?
I think a mil dropped to like $1~2 and after a certain amount you'd get more lol.

I was always a little bit too paranoid to buy gil I think too.
Like I'm sure the risk of anything happening in the way of bans was relatively low, but .. I liked my char too much to risk it anyway. >_> This. As much as I hate to say it my online personas are pretty damn precious to me.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
