errr, its a good guide but I dont agree with the archer section to saving money...
The reason most archers dont get final attack is NOT because it takes out of PKB but rather because it makes us vulnerable in certain situations. The pots we'll burn cause we're station FAing instead of dodging an attack will in the long run cost more than the MP you save during those 30 levels of 2nd job its actually useful for.
Yes it saves money, but its also highly misleading and the downsides to it far outweigh the advantages.
Note: I have nothing against final attack. If you're getting it to level faster in 2nd job, then by all means get it but if you're doing it to "save mesos", then dont bother as that's not the purpose of it and in the long run, you'll probably spend more than you lose.
A better archer tip would be to train at places with sniping spots (Monkey Forest II, etc.). And while you're at it, you can mention being smart with strength to save money similar to dex items for thieves (overalls with more str/less dex will cost significantly less than one with more dex/less str but the same amount of stats)
Also, mentioning about getting a z-helm early for the wep def might be possible too. It makes quite a bit of difference in pot money to my experience.
