Ah prices are INSANE for new players to buy anything. Was there at one time an exploit for people to make alot of gil on this server? The server pop is too small to justify the insane numbers that things cost without that happening at one point. If thats not the case then its the same people with alts and its the same people passing money back and fourth to each other.
Yes, prices are insane.. you know why? BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PAYING. If you want something, google it, go on ffxiclopedia and see where you can get the item yourself. FFXI is NOT a game for the lazy. Go do your teleport quests, go do you ninjutsu scroll quests, that alone is over 500k. Learn to do quests, learn to follow guides, and you will do extremely well in this game.
I've made over 200k during my first 2 weeks playing the game simply from selling 5 different items which I obviously won't name that people are paying between 100-400% more than they would at the NPC. It's not that hard to find what items those are, and I sell dozens per day of each. I simply log on my mule, march to the NPC, fill up my inventory, list everything, and close the client until one of the items has sold out
