Gil Suggestions

[Menowapii]

Hello everyone and thank you for viewing my post =D

Here's my problem with the current way gil is made. I recently started playing again after a few years and making gil seemed easier back in the days, however I want to talk about now and how hard it is without any help.

I have leveled from 1-36 within the past few days througout this time I litterally made no gil what so ever. I was at level 20+ with a bronze weapon. Now some people might say stop what you're doing and go farm, but I honestly dont have the time I did when I was younger to invest in farming.

I would like to see Square Enix fix the income players recieve at lower levels, atleast some type of gil coming in killing monsters with signet on or money in the treasure caskets that drop from dead monsters.

Please help out new players and allow the source of currency in the game to be more sufficiant. I would like to hear from new players and their feedback. I know they are some veterans players that still play this game, but the veteran players are already settled in. This post is mostlys for new players and how they manage with the lack of gil.

Thank you =D

You're not really supposed to make much Gil at start. Those levels should be about learning the basic principles of how the job is played. No one should blame you if you can't upgrade the weapon because at this point theirs barely anything low level up for sale anyway.

At that level I'd say the most money is in crystals and vendoring crap like scrolls/equips. Change the mobs you fight for better drops. When I hear "I don't have time" it just translates to "I want to get up high as fast as possible with minimal work"

Instead of leveling for the play time, try farming instead...beehive chips, hare meat, uh what else, Quadavs(vendor fetisch pieces and AH back plates) and goblins to for the scrolls and random equipment they drop.

I thought it was a lot easier to make gil nowadays. You get about 3k from the starter NPC, plus you get gil from the Field Manual pages. But like it was said above, farming beehive chips and such can really help On a side note, I think crystals are selling for a lot more right now too.

opening caskets provides npcable goods evoliths go for 700. making gil at low levels is not that bad

i find myself now at days actually trying to skill up my crafting skills to actually make armor for my lower level jobs. tedious task but i'm working at it.

As a returning player on a new server, I'm intimately familiar with the OP's plight. However, I believe you are either exaggerating when you said you "made no gil what so ever" or you did not know what to do.

1. The tutorial NPC (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Tutorial_NPC) gives you 1000 gil for getting to lvl 10
2. The Field Manual offesr gil rewards every vanadiel day for completing the pages
3. Mobs drop stuff you can npc or stick on the AH
4. Crystals. Crystals still sell well on the AH

Although your purse might be tight, you do make gil. Getting level appropriate gear, however, is a little hard after 10 since no one seems to want to craft those any more.

They have gear you can buy from NPC's, but that is where I wish they would change, because the NPC prices go up too high too fast as the levels go up and as a new player you're purse isn't getting better at the same ratio. Although I have found, if you take all the 6 beginning jobs up to 10, then to 20 etc you can actually accumulate the amount of gil needed to buy the armor from the NPC's for the next 10 levels. But that was before the exp doubling. That probably isn't as affective anymore.

Selling stuff on the AH before you get to Jeuno is currently difficult, since those AH are mostly abandoned. Abyssea mostly removed the need for gil, since everything in those zones is bought with cruor, and people only need consumables otherwise (food, ammo, tools, scrolls). Cruor can be converted to gil by buying the Teal/Perle/Aurore armor and selling it to NPCs outside of Abyssea, but someone starting out doesn't have access to that.

I know people with millions of gil that don't have much to spend it on, and I've had trouble breaking 100k lately, with spells I still need going for almost 200k even from NPCs. I'm currently at 7k and have few quests left to provide gil of any note, and am trying to save up cruor to buy some armor for my BLM.

It's easier to make gil at the low levels than it ever was. I just started leveling up BRD recently for fun, and made a lot of gil doing it from selling off synthesis materials, crystals, and the pocket change from FoV.

Heck the pages alone allow lower levels to make more gil then we used too. Just keep doing FoV.
