Well, this technically isn't traditional farming but I thought you might putit up 'cause anyone can do it from beginners and up and thegil/hr ratio isamazing. Anyway, what I've been doing lately is going to Port Windurst andbuying a hume rod (or bamboo) and a couple stacks of insect balls (can beless expensive than AH). I then go to Windurst Walls' AH and start fishingmoat carp right next to it. I'm on Ragnarok so I can't speak for otherservers but these sell extremely fast do to people going for the Lu Shangfishing rod and the sell prices rarely drop. On average I sell them for 3k astack and I can net anywhere from 30k to 50k in 2 hours, it's quite amazing.My tips on doing this from my experience is to start off catching everything(except maybe gold carp, especially with bamboo rod 'cause it will break) sothat you can get a feel for the difference between rusty items and the moatcarp (doing this won't hurt income too badly, rusty buckets sell for about50g to npc so it's not terrible). Once you have that down, try to avoidcatching anything but moat carp, this may sound stupid since gold carp sellfor 300g a piece to npc and rusty buckets 50g but some high level fishermansay that weight and type of fish can effect your fishing fatigue and from myexperience that seems to be mostly true. It also may be a good idea to stopat every stack completion to put them on the AH, they really do sell THATfast, in between stacks you have a good chance to have sold the previous one(also, considering the fact that most people going for the Lu Shang rod willuse a mule to check the AH, they will often check every hour or half-hour soyou never know when they will pop in to check the AH). Another thing that'shappened to me which is extremely helpful is that sometimes you will get atell from someone who has seen you selling moat carp repeatedly on the AH(by checking sale history) and they will offer to make a deal with you.Usually this entails selling exclusively to them for a slightly lower pricefor a limited time but this often gaurantees fast sales and you make afriend out of it who might help you out if you plan to go for the Lu Shangrod eventually. Anyway, this is a very fast money maker and it requires nofishing skill level to start so anybody can do it really.
