FFXI & The Strange Apparatus Money-maker

Let me explain you how it works:

The machines passwords are based on algorythm, it means that it will works differentaly for each characters. Some people found out that it was working on the first 3 letter of your name( my name is "CHASTR" so it will work on "C","H","A").

1) So the first thing you will need is to find out the first 3 letters of your name^^.
2) Each letter has a number :

A=00 B=01 C=02 D=03 E=04 F=05 G=06 H=07 I=08 J=09
K=10 L=11 M=12 N=13 O=14 P=15 Q=16 R=17 S=18 T=19
U=20 V=21 W=22 X=23 Y=24 Z=25

3) Each machine has an element, and elements have numbers too:

Fire = 00
Earth = 01
Water = 02
Wind = 03
Ice = 04
Thunder = 05
Light = 06
Darkness = 07

-And here is how you will get your password:
Password = (First Letter + Machine Element) (Second Letter + Machine Element) (Third Letter + Machine Element) (Sum of three letters + (Machine Element * 4))

-And here I tell you the machine position and its element:
   -Dangruf Wadi : Fire/Red : E-11
   -Gusgen Mines : Earth/Brown : J-5 on 2nd map
   -Ordelle's Caves : Wind/Green : E-12 on 2nd map
   -Crawler's Nest : Water/Blue : J-8 on 3rd map
   -Garliage Citadel : Light/White : J-8 on 3rd map
   -Eldieme Necropolis : Ice/Blue : J-13 on 4th map
   -Maze of Shakrami : Dark/Black : K-10 on 2nd map
   -Outer Horotuto Ruins : Lightning/Purple : E-6 on 5th map

-After getting the password you status will be "Doctor" on the machine and it will ask you to trade:

A) an "Infinity Core" In the AH under Other then Misc. or can be gotten in the CoP expansion *
   B) an "Elemental Chip": which can be gotten at the following locations in the major cities :
      

Blabbivix is at  F-6 in Bastok Port. (He's at the farthest F-6 wall, back behind the last building)
       Gaudylox is at  F-4 in Sand'Oria North.
       Scavnix is at H-4 in Windhurst Walls.

Buy a chip that corresponds to the correct element/color of the machine and area you're heading to

"Dangruf wadi" trade a red "Elemental Chip")

Note : You can only do this once a day on each machine (so 8 machines a day in non-Vana'Diel tim).

This works at a 100% you can get Rune weapons, Cermet chunks and much more random items if you got any questions send me a message.

To answer to some question for example with Fire machine (Dangruf Wadi)  I get "00182038" with "Cha" ... Hope this helps you!

For example : I went to Dangruf Wadi with a level 50 friend at level 7 (if you have alts you can do it more than once a day) and had him cast sneak/invisible on me the whole way. I gave the machine my password, then traded it a Red Chip and an Infinity Core. It gave me 8xCermet Chunks...which go for 15k each on my server. I sold them for a profit of 50k. I paid 50k for the core and 21k for the chip... net profit : 50k in a run from Bastok Markets to Dangruf Wadi (10 mins or less).

Another further example : I went to Gusgen Mines afterwards, about a 10-15 minute walk from Dangruf Wadi, or a 5-10 minute choco ride from Bastok... I used a Yellow Chip and Infinity Core this time, getting 2 adaman nuggest in return. which is 100-120k on my server. So, profit was about 30k... I told someone about this who was a level 50smn/25whm and they sneaked/invisible'd me the whole way, I was level 7 at the time, so it is possible to do this with your mules or any low level character as well.

*FYI: Infinity Cores can also be gotten from CoP Bastok, Sandoria and Windhurst. (saves cash if you're high enough level to be there)

Good luck in your journeys,
