Nillawafer's Guide to Gil and More
Welcome to my guide! I'm Nillawafer, from the Ramuh server! This is my attempt at a personal guide to earn Gil by Cooking and Fishing. Let's get started, and good luck! ^_^

First thing's first: Level Cooking to 30.
Cooking to 30
This is how I did it:
- Join the Culinarians' Guild (Windurst) by speaking to Piketo-Puketo in Windurst Waters (D-9).
Also, I recommend getting a Water Tank, to save both time and money on Distilled Water.

Once you've gotten Cooking to Level 30, it's time to move on to Fishing.
Fishing
This is how I did it:
- Join the Fisherman's Guild (Windurst) by talking to Thubu Parohren in Port Windurst (C-8).
Fishing Tips Before You Begin
- There is a 200 catch limit per 1 Real Life day.
- Anything that has (!!!) is most likely a monster. It will automatically aggro to you, so be careful.
- Carry around a stack of Light Crystals and Lightning Crystals with you for when you fish up "Dead Body Gear" (Rusty Subligar, etc). Use a Light Crystal to polish the gear and then sell as is, or use a Lightning Crystal to Desynthesis it and sell the pieces for more Gil. This will skill up your Smithing and Desynthesis. NOTE You can not polish or desynth Rusty Buckets.
Okay, let's get started!
Levels 1-11

Now you can stay at Cooking Level 30, and Fishing Level 11, and make money that way. Or keep on leveling both to make and catch bigger and better things, thereby making bigger and better gil.
For the sake of this guide, let's say that you decide to keep leveling up. At this point, you have a way of making money to fund the rest of your Cooking and Fishing expeditions. So let's get back to it.
