True story: The foundation for my Ridiculous fortune on Unicorn--- I was one of the top 25 or so richest players without buying gold---was farming the chocobo grass for the quest and moat carp.
I stumbled upon the grass thing by accident. The mayflys in the mountains by jeuno dropped them 90% of the time and spawned quickly in this one area. I literally free farmed this area for a week straight.
Also, did anyone else save up for the Lu Shang quest using only carp? Never has an item been so worth it. That's what I loved about FFXI: they made you work hard for items but damn those things were worth it. Your profit skyrocketed to the point that you never had to worry about money again.
