There are other ways to make Gil than Farming, Crafting, and Gardening.

My three main mules are all Rank 2. I just took my San d'Oria mule to M 2 - 3, did the Drain Scroll quest, then ran her to Bastok for the Warp Scroll quest*. Next the Bastok mule will head to San d'Oria for the Drain Scroll quest. Getting the Windurst mule through Windurst M 2 - 1.... /shudder

Some just keep making Bastok mules for the Warp Scroll quest. Only takes fame 2 after all.

I have a friend who has run several mules to Norg for the Utsusemi quest. While he will get them Kazam keys, I have heard of people doing that trick and just buying the Airship pass.

*(edit) her trip home was MUCH swifter

Eh well only BCNMs I'm aquainted with are Under Observasion, Steaming Sprouts and Wings of Furry and DRG isn't good for any of those maybe steaming sprouts, possibly Under Observation if you have a really good kiter ^^;

Sprouts takes two DDs, but the key is a GOOD Bard. Why can't a DRG be one of the DDs? If this question seems silly, remember I have only done this one as RDM and didn't even get to watch the fighting, just hang out keeping the BRD alive.

One standard setup for Wings is Tank, RDM, BRD or BST. At L 20 cap the RDM is used as both melee and healer. Why can't a DRG/WHM sub for the RDM? OK, the tank may have to be a PLD for the extra healing, but bats are weak to a polearms' piercing damage. And even without that little bonus, DRG massivly outdamages RDM Melee at 20.

From my limited experience with UO, don't try this one as a melee. I did it with two NIN/WARs. Their strategy was provoke but not engage the smaller eyes, turning their back on them and killing them with NIN tools while I kited the big eye. It seems something horrid happens if you engage the small eyes, what I still am not sure. It is bad enough if you don't engage them BTW.

I see the same problem here as I see on every other MMO forum: People complaining that making money takes too long and the super cool gear costs too much. I'd love to have a Vermy cloak and a full set of HQ Elemental staves for my Mage but I understand that I will have to work a long time for these things.

I would quit this game tomorrow if SE made it incredibly easy to make massive amounts of gil and obtain all the uber gear because then the game would be pointless and no longer fun.

Well with Sprouts you need a DRK for one of the DDs for Stun and the other DD is usually a RNG for pulling them out of the crowd around the BRD however when I did it the BRD had so much hate from all that singing the stupid mandy kept running back to her

I thought a BST (at least one) was essential for the bats one, you essentially take 2/3 bats out of the picture whilst you kill one off.

UO the easiest way to do it is as you said, 2 NINs backwards tanking the wimpy ones using elemental ninjutsu to kill em whilst someone kites the big one all the way down to the bottom and back. Those heckeyes have an attack that paralyses you if you're looking at it and this is one badass paralyse that can't seem to be removed with remedies either so it is essential that you don't look at them and always have your back turned I've always done it with BST or SMN for kiters, find it helps that their pets take the hate and the hits, a RDM might not last as long. We did it twice with a DD instead of a NIN (SAM and DRK) and have the kiter kite 2 mobs whilst we quickly kill one, then run down to the other small one then finish with the boss. It worked and both times we got cock charm too hehe, all other times with 2 NINs no cock charm

drg could be very good for UO becouse of the wyvern just engage and turn around the wyvern will still hit it. plus drg/mage wouls also have like dia and banish or other blm spells idk i may be completely off base

RDM is actually great at UO. 2 friends and I do this every couple of weeks. They go as NIN/WHMs so they can cure themselves a bit which is nice. Love not having to worry about them while I'm kiting

Gravity and bind land very well and at 40 we have Phalanx, Stoneskin, Ice spikes, barfire and Cure III. And our resist petrify trait helps alot

I haven't been paralyzed by these things yet but I have felt the full effects of breakga, bindga and that damned firaga.

Its really a very simple fight and I often have enough MP to do some light nuking at the end of the fight.

Bats BCNM I actually did with a DRK and another SMN. SMN is my secondary job, btw. DRK took Colo while we each 2hr'd on one of the others. Worked really well.

There are alot of workable combinations for the bcnms. You don't need the most popular set-up to succeed. Most ppl just go the popular set-up route since its usually also the easiest way to beat the thing(s).

You can't kite with your wyvern if that's what you were talking about ^^ you can't have your wyvern try to solo one either, he/she will get para'd nd bitchslapped to death if you have a DD to help the NIN they have to fight on the opposite side and watch their hate and you'd need a BST to kite 2 of them (think jug pets can take a beating better than avatars) also DD should be something with good DoT (SAM, DRK, DRG etc.) ^^; otherwise you might end up pulling hate and getting paralyzed
