Post Your Solution For Gil Generation

[Syfin]

First Id like to say that this is a thread for solutions for gil generation. That means that the game creates money, not an exchange of gil from one person to another. With that out of the way, this is what I have seen and others have shared:

1) Battle Leves award 6 allowances per 24 hours. This amount to roughly 3000 gil.
2) FATE- Roughly 95 gil per FATE.
3) Guildhest- 240gil after first completion bonus.
4) One-time only quests- Roughly 250,000 gil altogether.
5) Crafting Leves- can award upwards of 5k per leve.

Anyone else know of ways to CREATE gil that can fit into the majority of people's schedules?

Future solutions that devs may incorporate:

-After completing Hunting Log, make a repeatable weekly pafe that awards gil in place of exp.
-Creat a Bounty Board in adventurer's guild that allows hunting of NMs for gil.
-Increased amount of gil gained by selling to NPC
-Lowered repair costs **This has been implemented by Devs**
-Daily quests that award a fair amount of gil(suggested 10000 gil.)

EDIT: I can see people are not providing numbers for their solutions. This is to help people who are struggling to pay for their repair bills. Actual numbers with the amount of time it would take to make said gil would be best for the community.

EDIT 2: For those who dont know, once you get to level 50 and have decent gear, the repair cost ranges from 3k-5k. From personal experience, I can see maybe 6 or 7 dungeon runs before the gear must be repaired. I am not trying to blow smoke, this is a real issue people are running into and the reason for this thread. To help alleviate people's gil issue for the present and future.

EDIT 3: This is a thread about generation not exchanging of hands. If more gil is not created versus lost, then there is none to exchange with on the market as time goes on.

EDIT 4: With the repair costs reduced, I believe that gil generation vs money sink has been solved. However, continue to discuss if you disagree or would like to add to the conversation.

Lmao I just logged in to say what an excellent example of someone who doesn't read a thread but still wants to be heard.

Literally nobody in the world cares if you've made some nice profits off of crafting/gathering. In fact, if you HAVEN'T made a fair chunk of gil with a 50 craft or 50 gathering class your IQ is most likely under room temp.


Go ahead and tell your mom about how you responded to a thread about large scale gil creation trying to subtly brag about how much money you've made scamming new crafters out of their main quest gil. Let me know how that goes.

Wait for the sinks to drain gil from legacy players to go away and for Yoshi to put something sustainable in once all servers have similar economies.

I never understood the legacy hate outside of being just jealously because they aren't holding you back from anything.

Dungeons (You also get a bonus for first timers, at least in the lower ones).
Guildhests.
Leves.
FATEs.
NPCing all the random crap you accumulate.

There is no gil generation issue.

Have to disagree. My experience has been that there are disproportionately more gil sinks than gil-generating mechanisms in the game. It would create a much better balance if there were something a little more supplemental thrown in. Or maybe a bunch of little somethings.

Um... If you are finding there are more gil sinks than gil-generating mechanisms, maybe you need to lay off of some of the gil sinks?

I haven't found any yet until level 50 when you /need/ to buy a relic weapon and a couple r3 materia. Beyond that, you literally have nothing that you need to buy with gil.

Repairs? Ok... If you do any dungeons and full clear them(especially at level 50) you get at LEAST 1400g per run with allagan bronze coins.

Mathematically impossible.

I'm waiting for dailies in 2.1 that will hopefully reward a proper amount of gil for a level50 character.

edit: Yoshi announced it a week or so ago, I don't remember the link sorry. They didn't say the rewards, just "it will be needed for end game".

Honestly, there's no reason for repairs to even be in this game. The ways to make gil are so low now compared to 1.0, that having repairs is just silly.

When did they announce dailies and what the rewards will be for 2.1? Link?
