    They could unrestrict alot of the repeatable gil quests they killed when they were all RMT Death Trigger happy. The rollanberry quest being one of my favorites they gimped.

    Another method would be increasing the buyback rate across the board for items to npcs outside of those abyssea npc food items. Downside is that the economy is going to inflate like crazy with new gil being added into the system.

    As kaht said though, the economy isn't that horrible for low lvs. Crystals sell really decently due to there never being any on the ah. FoV is a nice suppliment as well.

    Hello everyone and thank you for the feedback.

    I must disagree with some people because the gil you make at low levels is not sufficiant enough. If i want to buy somthing from the AH and its 10-50k but I only made 6k thoughout the past 20 somthing levels then yes I see a problem here. I think I did exaggerate about not making any gil what so ever, but the income I did recieve throughout those levels is very minimal.

    This is how I see it, any form of making gil at low level is not enough, someone also mentioned that vendors will sell a weapon for cheap, then the next weapon they sell increase the price by if not tripple then I dunno how much more in value but its alot. I also save crystals for when im doing my missions to trade them in to the npc, and used for crafting so I dont sell my crystals and most items I recieve, I save alot of stuff for crafting, I thought I should mention that in as well.

    Well I thank everyone for the time taken out to read my post =D

    Don't craft. Your opportunity costs are way too high for that at low levels. Until you can farm/generate regular income to support your crafting, you are throwing needless gil away for not a whole lot of return.

    I think your problem lies with your methodology. If you only earned 6k in 20 levels then you spent too much time leveling and too little time farming.

    Farming sucks, but everyone has to do it. Increasing gil gain of any level would only lead to more inflation and higher prices and you'd be right back where you started. Making gil is stupid easy, just time consuming. The real problem is too few want to invest the time to do obtain it.

    I can understand comparisons that gil earning is significantly slower than level earning and you'd be right, now more than ever. However, since we're a player driven economy making gil easier to obtain ultimately accomplishes nothing since prices just adjust to gil flow.

    If you're short on gil you'll just have to do what everyone else does and slow your progress in levels and increase your farming time.

    10 years ago Squaresoft was great. 10 years ago Hironobu Sakaguchi left Squaresoft. 10 years ago Square's profits were at an all time high. In the last 10 years their profits have done nothing but decline. Coincidence, I think not. Do yourself and the fans a favor SE, bring back Sakaguchi. Bring back the awesome you once had.

    Funny what the backfire is of giving more xp at low levels. Now the starter player is saying, im not receiving enough gil to keep up with gear...

    Crystals are going for good prices now and they are not as massively sold on the AH as they used to be. What I would do if I had to start over is buy gear I can use on mutiple jobs (or all jobs would be best, like RSE) and level all the jobs to about 40~50 that you like to play. You can do BCNMs for gil, just make sure you research them and hook up with decent players.

    I just think this is a result of increasing the xp outside of abyssea. I think it is a good thing, but they should not do the same with gil imo.

    Gotta love it right, leveling too fast now I also noticed that you level faster than your skills Your skills don't catch up until you get into the teens and maybe even 20's o.O

    Problem is supply/demand, since abyssea out, there no more reason for crafter to actually synth gear, so they not buying anymore the mats, making NPC your only option to make gil. With abyssea is also at the point where everyone leech naked and no one really care about it. I think i have enough finger to count how many synth that still worth to do, and those still require item that only difficult NM drop. If i was you i would not even worry about gil, you can find about everything better from quest or abyssea, and is free...

    I for sure understand the frustration for a new player starting the game and unable to find anything due to the lack of interest from everyone to fight NM in old content. How SE will deal with that one, i have no clue. Think for new player they should just let them start @ lv75 with full pearl/teal set etc, would be just more logical.

    Don't worry. Once you get enough money, play the market, and you'll never have to farm again.

    I've made millions flipping currency, lol. I haven't had to farm or even flip in years and I still have a large surplus of gil.

    I'd buy currency in /shout prices for higher than other people were willing to pay, then I'd go to rolanmart and undercut everyone there.

    Worked like a charm.


    Look for good deals, buy, and resell at your convenience.
