I normally craft nin tools and do the occasional enm/bcnm fight for my gil. On weeks when I can't toolbag my tools (stupid first place tie ><) I go back to farming/field crafting.
I love Giddeus for the bees, although Tahrongi canyon is also a good choice for bees/crawlers/saplings/and mandys. Honey, chips, silk, seeds and cotton drop fairly well and always go for decent prices.
When I go raid Giddeus I bring a long a stack or two of distilled water, fire and lightening crystals. Beeswax (3x chips, one water, 1 Fire cyrstal) is a very low level synth for Alchemy and a stack goes for more then 3x stacks of chips (what you need to make it) in Remora currently.
The lightening crystals are to turn the Yag necklaces (if you don't need them for Norg fame) into copper ingots (1 crystal, 1 necklace) and is an even lower level synth in Goldsmithing. Current copper ingot/stack price is around 15k but I can get 2-3 stacks easy depending on inventory space/time till boredom sets in.
If you can turn, the honey into echo drops, but you may not have your Alchemy that high so just sell them
If you kill the Yag Pipers, Persecutors and Medicants you can stack the silver beastcoins as well, they sell for around the price of copper ingots. Also, lots and lots of harvest points in Gidd, bring along some sickles. Enssasa's Catayst goods sell them in W. Waters. Cotton, seeds, red moko grass are common and sell well. Theres also a chance for the rarer Mugwort which sells for 30-40k a pc at AH in Remora.
I also go farm slime oil/marlboro vines in Ordelle Caves by the Strange apparatus for more field crafting and the air and water elementals that spawn there during weather.
Just my 2gil
