Well NMs and all the good stuff like BCNM are out the question. Seriously if you want to make a bit of gil, just put all the junk you get from farming in your MH and when you are about to go to bed, put all of it in your bazaar for a reasonable price ( might want to go by AH price, or a little bit lower) and find a good place where a lot of people pass by in your home nation. If you are from sandy set up your bazaar in south sandy near the mog house because a lot of people go by there. I was making 10k+ a night just from the junk I was selling overnight, like crystals, copper ores, rabbit hides, etc. Once you progress through the lvls there are going to be new ways to earn gil. Personally don't be worried about your gear at this stage, paying that much for pants isn't your top priority. Really you should be focusing on getting all your spells and then get the gear you can later on. Well for now gl and happy adventuring!
Also if you need a ls look for members of MercsforHire, and ask for a pearl. I can't tell you the names specifically because I am taking a little hiatus for now, but if you find one demand a pearl, that ls gets stuff done, and done well.
I'm sure FU! and ED will more than likely post here also like they always do, but frankly a lot of the Mercs members are from ED. I'm not saying MFH is better but... I guess you can say more sophisticated and more in focus about the game and getting stuff done. It's an event/social, not a social and occassionally an event.
