Go to the farthest bottom right portal on that map and right before you go through, put on Dark Site. Travel about halfway up the map until you see a Wooden Sign. This is a secret portal, go through it. On the right side of the map are 2 Leps (meso bag looking things). Stand in between them and use a single star to break their first form. Then, L7 the 2nd form. Here's how it should go for you...
1 star break left form
1 star break right form
L7 Kill left
L7 Kill right.
The first and second forms drop a TON of mesos, and you will spend nothing but MP here. After 6-10 have been killed on each side, go and loot everything that dropped. Because Leps drop Steely and Cape Luk scrolls, this is a good place to start collecting equips for yourself.
Also, Cassandra gives you a quest to collect polluted rocks, turn this quest in and get an increased drop rate (50%-2x item/meso drop). Do this every 30 minutes to further increase your profit.
4 hours of 2x drop at leps would usually net me around 25mil, and for an unfunded character, that's pretty good money.
