Whats some decent ways to earn meseta now days? I was tryin to hunt skill pp save units but only got 1 for my self and never saw another. Seems like the cash flow stopped with mag.

On Xbox 360 if it makes a difference. Really want to save up for a serafi-senba, it never drops in my groups >.>

Run AoI missions, that is. The older missions give carp for rewards.

Head over to Dallgun Viewing Plaza, bring NPC's or friends, run "The Black Nest." That mission has some good meseta drops.

Try running some quick boss runs and sell the boards for a nice profit.

Run missions that drop valuable items. Rattlesnakes, Agito Repcas, and Psycho Wands are all worth a lot. Find the board, make it, and sell.

You don't necessarily need to make it. I found a board and sold it for 44mill and I saw alot of the weapons itself selling for 30mill and lower.

That is ridiculous. The board selling for more than the completed item?

I'd add Goldania and Kazarod to that list

I find, depending on your level, to do solo runs through missions at the highest level, but still easy enough allowing you to speed run through them. This allows you to pick up all the drops, and to not use tons of healing items. Not to mention it's very time saving, I recommend all the Linear Line missions on the Guardians Colony. Rappy chance, and good meseta drop.

Well you are paying for a chance to make one....sometimes it comes out better then most on market and then sometimes you get a shitty %.

Indeed. Sometimes you're better off buying the board, especially with the upcoming synth boost, you may have the chance of making a better one thats up for sale.

Maybe the completed item sucked... low %s or something?

But a difference of 14 million+ meseta?

In regards to that, if the board you synth turns out to be a 50% weapon... then even though it seemed more expensive at the time it turns out to be a good bargain. Hence the chance everyone's referring to.

To the OP, they've hit the nail on the head. Run the AoI missions a great deal. For me, White Beast A nets at least 36k raw meseta per run before I get into the items. Goldania's going to be real hot for a while due to the event, so Mad Creatures and Plains Overlord are going to get some more play. Since meseta drops multiply so much in a group versus solo now... you and a few friends can still make out like bandits as long as you stick to something you can run through quickly.

I really hate to say this but white beast is good, or you can do what I do and solo. Just go out hunting for some rare and then well it's up to you wether or not to make it or sell it if it happens to be a agito repeca or a rattlesnake.

Play any mission that nobody like to play, you can monopoly those item price.
for example, [b]Grand Cross from mother brain.

Yea, after selling something that an NPC down the street sells, at 10x the NPC price in FFXI, you'd think I would stop trying. :(

That's basically it.

Or farm lots of in-demand mats and sell em off like..

Relic Edge (if farming at SWS2, you'll have chance at Psycho Wand which nets a lot of meseta still)
Catilium
Goldania

Those are the more easier to find ones. Agito Edge/Gaozoran Rod sells for quite a bit but doesn't drop as easily from my experience.

Even though meseta drops are lower with solo, if you're character is buffed enough you'll make way more money than playing with groups since it all goes to you in the same amount of run time and you can make profits from anything else that drops there.

Paying attention to material costs AND weapon costs is important too.

Why make a Ryusaikanoh board, when you can sell 2 neu walnas and buy a completely made Ryusaikanoh?

Today, I sold 4 copies of a 0/10 weapon, and bought a 9/9. there's no way I would have gotten a 9/9 grinding just 4 of them.

Also, I have a tendency to buy "temporary" weapons just because I can't afford good ones. The more I do, the more money is wasted that could have gone towards a much better weapon. So basically, go all or nothing. Get what you want, and only what you want.

Also, it helps if you only outfit one character at a time, and just use that one character to farm things and find rarz. I personally can't do that though, I get bored playing the same character for too long, which is why I have 4 characters with equally lame equipment. = )
