First, you must roll a level 1 toon. You need to level this toon to at least level 5. The reason for this is because anyone can make a level 1 toon , it's not believable that you are that new. Second you need to ask really noobish questions in various zones. Start with East Commons (Roll a human) and begin. Once you have established you are a noobie you need to make a /ooc about you are new and if any guilds can accept you. From there you should get hit up with tells.
You will probably get some guy who wants to give you stuff. At this point you stroke his ego by calling him Sir, and repetitively after everything say, "THANK YOU SO MUCH!". Everyone loves their ego stroked , so make sure you inspect him and comment on his gear and ask for links. When he links act amazed, and shower him with compliments.
Last, when you are gifted items from this loser make sure you tell him you will pay it forward and pay him back. ( even tho you wont)
Now you can rinse and repeat this method throughout the week. The goal is to get the really generous dudes that have a shit ton of mid gear rotting in bank. Make sure you make a lot of level 5 alts with different names.
PS: If you pretend to know the previous alt and say your are a friend of such in such within 48 hours , the person who gifted originally will probably give something to you too depending on your class.
Anyhow enjoy getting free shit and rich folks

Helps if u make female chars with names like "Clairebear" and "Supagurl" and go way out of your way to tell/hint everyone you're a chick irl (Even though you definitely aren't)
Much easier to scam losers out of their pixels that way.

I always believe those human wizards who come at me in the tunnel saying they need plat. Lots of human wizards...

roll a char on red, get it to 50s which is easy with the bonus xp, then ninja whatever you can get in your first guild, and move on to the next
try to befriend a guy with a manastone, if he ever lets you use it in a moment of weakness, call him an idiot and keep it
salaryman can give you more tips on how to get up there fast, pst him ingame

If you want to be really convincing, turn in your book of discord and complain about having to relevel to 5 when you can't get buffs.

A Human Bard to Level 5, naked, takes about 20 minutes. If you're lazy.

The jokes on you retards, in the time you spend taking a bunch of my trash noob gear and selling it in ec for a couple hundred plat, i have ground out several k in plat. Tbqhwufam the only reason i pick up noob gear is to give it to the first noob i see.
So go ahead and feel like you are pulling one over on somebody, in reality you are just a rat eating my shit and smiling about it.

Exploiting humanity, you forgot to add to remove all your gear, stuff it in a bag, and ask for buffs for a CR when just passing through

I got around 2000 plat in gifts starting out on the server rolling three level 10 chars before I decided what to stick with. Not to mention all that CB belt money.
Even if you are exploiting someone, you are still making them feel really good about themselves. I have a few mid 30 chars that have an orbiting group of guys who think I am a 23 year old female welder and will just follow me around buffing groups and chatting it up.

You know OP, if you spent as much time leveling a character to 60 and farming yourself, you'd have much, much more plat than you would being a lazy douchebag. Honest.

the most amusing post is all these people calling OP scum. no shit folks, someone posts about gleefully scamming someone and you think they care if you call them scum? does it make you feel better? I hope so because otherwise there was no point in it.
one thing is for sure, people will keep being nice because it makes them feel good. if it makes dudes like OP feel good in turn about turning tricks for a few plat no harm in that.

In FFXI I was a cute adorable Mithra girl and never had to farm anything and always had top of the line gear, it was amazing as a bard in full wedding dress just dinking around then seeing a scorpion harness in my mailbox, with the message " I was up all night farming again. I love you so much :) "
Ended up selling that account for $1800 and it took a solid year to fill the emotional hole in left in me :3
In Asheron's call before secure trading I probably conned a few hundred shards, mattekar robes, and suits of lesser shadow amuli armor when it was THE shit.
God that was amazing. on P99... Its almost like there is no reason to scam people, everyone is super friendly and rich, a perfect socialist society.

you need 2 chars for this, or a friend, that works better
check ooc for an item you need, lets say it costs 70k
char A tells vendor "I'll give you a mrylo BP and a hiero cloak for it" (you want to offer like 60k of stuff)
char B oocs later "wtb mrylo BP and hiero cloak, 75k for both"
complete deal on char A, log char B off
am sure thats easy to pull off with all the sharking on blue

I don't think the OP is scum as some people are stating because.../thread is in RNF and he is obviously being sarcastic about how he is describing the 'free way' to get plat... seems to me the direction of OP was he discovered people were scamming him

Reminds me of that Severok kid that went around begging to borrow fungi tunics from everyone.
Then rerolled to that sir transfer deal and started stealing gear out of transfer bags lol
