| Zezlar said: XI is very unforgiving when you start out. Back when I started in around 03-04ish it took me days to get decent armor and a good supply of cash. I can't imagine how long it would take someone now, considering farming items at low levels aren't worth jack anymore. When my friends started out, I always gave them money because I didn't want them going through the hell that I did. |
I got lucky when I first started and figured out how to pretty much farm warp scrolls (I got really efficient at making a new character, doing the 10 or so quests to get the game, get the warp scroll, send it to my main, remake the character, repeat) so I made nearly a million gill in the first few weeks of the game. 
I used that to level crafts and since then I haven't had money problems (though I am running low at the moment and just haven't felt like bringing it back up). >_>
