Within 3-4 hours you can collect up to 40-50k gil depending on the amount of people in the dungeon.
Mining basics:
First I highly recommend the mining boots, gloves and field armor. This investment will go along way for you down the road. I’ve found the drops are better after wearing it and the most important – your pick axes break less often saving you money down the road.
Reducing Cost:
If you have a decent level of fame, your cost for pickaxes will be relatively lower – less that 200gil per axe at Boytz shop behind AH in Bastok Mines. This can also be used to make money as a stack can cost up to 3000-3500 in Jeuno and sells relatively fast. 200 x 12 = 2400 , so that’s another 500-1000gil profit.
Maximizing your Time:
Make sure you are at least level 30+ so that you do not engage agro. I would recommend 40+ so that your kill speed is much faster. Remember time = money. Wear only the mining gear, and a weapon. I remove my linkshell pearl also. If you are a BLM (AOE) or a THF (FLEE), then more power to you as I will explain later. If you can, try to finish Gobbie Quest #1 and #2 so that you now have a +10extra spaces in your bag. Now you are ready to head out, if my advice is followed you should only have 6 / 40 in your inventory leaving you with 34 spaces to fill worth of goodies.
If you have a high level BLM, go to the 2nd floor (Marked with a Greet Dot). Facing the refinery try to target a Quadav. Now what this will do is bring ALL quadavs from the other side of that small river come running to you. Only a few greater/veterans will come but the rest will be Young/Amber and Amethysts. If you cast AOE spells on them they die fairly quick and you will net a good amount of gil this way + items. Spells can range from 200gil to 1k, and Quadav Backplates can sell up to 1k in Jeuno, around 600 in Bastok and they sell fast. Usually from one of these pulls you can get about 5-10 Backplates already yielding 4-10k depending on where sell it PLUS if you sub THF on your mage you will get double the gil dropped also.
Quadav Backplates: 600-1000gil
Spells: 200-1000gil
I’ve attached the maps of Palborough mines with all the mining locations known to me (Marked in red). Now, you will want to explore the routes to maximize your travel. My route is 1st floor (F-7) to (H-7) to (I-7) to B on 2nd floor to (J-6) to (J-7) to (J-8) then to the 3rd floor towards C to (J-6) and (J-9). I do this repeatly going backwards and forwards. Try to toss anything less than Zinc unless you want to build up your crafting skills.
Zinc: 200-300gil
Silver: 400-500gil
Iron: 500-700gil
Mythril: 1000-1300gil
Platinum: 15,000+ gil. ***Sell when demand is low, people will pay up to 30-40k when supply is low.
If you’re a high lvl 50-60+ you can go to the 3rd floor and cast a spell on a Quadav behind closed gates. This will train 20+ quadavs (olds/coppers/brass/greater/onyx/vets) to come rushing to you. These 3rd tier quadavs will net you more gil / drop with Treasure Hunter as well as plenty of fetish parts. When you kill enough Quadavs there’s also a chance for an NM to spawn, but I usually don’t wait as time = money. Kill Funguars as they drop sleepshrooms that sell for 1-2k a stack. Kill any type of Scorpion and they can drop scorpion claws and scorpion shells and the plantreaper scythe. As well, you can get the Palborough Key used to open treasure chests which usually net you 1-2k in gil or item.
Fetish Parts: Sell to NPC for 200gil each.
Sleepshrooms: 1000-2000gil / stack
Scorpion Claws: 500-600 gil
Scorpion Shell: 900-1100 gil
PlantReaper Scythe: 1200-2000gil
So as you can see, there are tons of things to kill at relative ease. Once your inventory is full, you can continue to train quadavs for gil or you can head home to sell your loot. If you have Warp then just simply warp home, otherwise you can take the boat on the 3rd floor (Marked in Blue) which takes you directly to Zeruhn Mines which is just a short distance from Bastok mines.
