SE: How are we supposed to make money?

Best advise to all that want to make Gil on this game "level your gather classes first" this will cut out the middle men that supply your mats and allow you to farm mats you need for high level crafts your self.

Making a lot of Gil on this game requires creative thinking study of markets and sell of items at the CORRECT times! You should generally jump between multiple markets for items selling on one if another gets flooded and selling your items at the right time when supply is down the price is high and the demand is good (this happens more than you may think)

You are one of the people causing your problem / losses.

If you undercut by 1 gil it has the same effect as undercutting by a lot more, people will generally buy whatever is top of the list.

Its just tough to make any money post 2.1 SE killed just about every market there was out there, and yet somehow expect us to pay 300 millions of Gil for a house. Lulz

I disagree, there would be no problem if there was more demand and less supply.
SE makes crafted armor useless so the demand will be very low.
Since the best in slot gear does not use Materia, its demand will be low.
Can't blame sellers for undercutting when its the only way to get things sold (due to low demand).

Lmao Im not even talking about the crafting market. Everything in general is in shambles. Materia, crafting items and shards are all selling for next to nothing. Fleece, diremite and flax is all now gone thanks to SE adding them to vendors, and the rate @ which armor binds is now so fast materia is selling for almost nothing. Best way to make money atm is treasure hunts, and that takes a good chunk of time to get going.

I'm not sure, I've actually made more since 2.1 than before. Materia market going down has actually increased sales on melded relics. You just need to find the right market.
