In fact, for jobs that aren’t as combat savvy as Dark Knights or Warriors, farming items to sell for gil can be incredibly time consuming or almost seemingly impossible. Indeed, collecting a large amount of gil in Final Fantasy XI can sometimes seem like the old conundrum; "Can't get a job without experience, can't get experience without a job."
