Unfortunately in FFXI, you only receive one content ID to play with initially that lets you create a single character unless you pay an additional $1.39 for 2 more character slots. You will need to get a total of 3 slots to use this guide. You will need 3 characters, one in each major city. Bastok, San d'Oria, and Windhurst. Items in 1 city may be valued more than another depending on availability and etc. Whichever city you choose to play as your main is fine. As you complete quests, build your fame and receive rewards and items, be sure to check out the AH in other cities to check where it's selling at the highest rate.
With your main character, send 1000 or so gil to your Windurst character. In Windhurst buy up as many paralyze scrolls as you can. It costs nearly 100 gil per scroll. You will then deliver these scrolls to your character in San d'Oria, the merchatns do not sell this scroll there. You will get a nice profit here for these scrolls but don't overflood the AH with them.
Gardening items are usually on demand as well. You can easily harvest the crystals and resell them or feed them to your own plants. Brass pots are needed for yielding 19 fire crystals, they're sold by an NPC in Bastok Mines named Boytz located in the building right next to the AH on the first floor in the back room. Costs about 1,100 gil per pot. Buy as many as you wish to sell then deliver to San d'Oria or Windurst. I believe you should be able to sell them easily for 3-5k gil per pot.
Here is a quick little reference chart labeling where to buy from and where to sell.
This trick works very well. Go check air elementals pets under scrolls-summoning. You can buy the Air elemental in Jueno for 800gil and I sell them in Bastok for 3000gil. This works for a ton of other items. Any quest item for a city is always considerably cheaper in the next town over. There is way more than 100gil difference in prices in an astounding number of items. I play on two computers and have one at the Jueno AH and one at the Bastok AH. I then rummage around usually spells since that seems to be the highest profit at the moment. I've done this trick a ton of times making a minimum of 500gil on a bad trade and 10k gil on some rather rare equipment.
While I will agree that things like crystals and other common items ie. low level gear this would hold true if you check many items you will find ways to make gross amounts of gil.
