How much gil does the *average* player have?

I'd say 500k is around average, your going to have some with a couple million and then a little more with 10+ million. Your offer of 1-3 million is a little overboard. Also the really wealthy prob won't post their amounts and you won't really get an accurate avg due to some not visiting the forums! and fewer responding to your post. They will sit on their Gil mountains and possibly increase personal housing costs lol since SE doesn't want someone to buy an entire ward lol.

I like to keep around 150k in the bank. i rarely go out of my way to make Gil though. Just blew 110k on a HQ Vanya Robe of Healing for my SCH though .. down to 75k now XD

I'm sitting just under 500k. Thanks to undercutters in the market rarely any of my gathered items sell nowadays, and 2.1 has deteriorated the materia market a great score so now I rarely ever try to spiritbond gear given how the gears' prices in the market exceed the selling price for most grade 4 materia.

That's why I asked for average players. The wealthy aren't average, else they wouldn't be wealthy. I was also hoping that people would report how much their FC mates or friends had to make up for the general lack of forum visitors, which, fortunately, people have been doing. A rough estimate seems to be below 500k, so 2 mil to run around the world and potentially spend hours looking for things seemed fair to me.

for now... once the quest materia is gone... it will go back up

I've been hovering around 300 gil to 50k these past two weeks.

1.7m. 0 crafts

I sit at about 100k most of the time.

100k but I can make 20k a day I donate it to my FC

ive made around 10 mil, before the patch. only 2.5 after the patch and now stuck in limbo. se really screwed the economy with the housing/mats available from npcs/materia iv saturation/etc

with mobs drop gil in low level dungeon and people probably grind more dungeons in 2.1 I would say for a fresh lv50 who did most of his side quests and always pick up gil as requests' reward he should have around 300k. Then it all depends his spending behavoir. If he just get a normal and ask for free melding and gear up with myth/DL only he should get richer and richer. If he decides to pick up a DoL/DoH then he will get richer faster.

I earned over 100k each week through gathering since 2.1

Since I'm on a legacy server and Square took averages into account when deciding pricing I must have multiple millions. I can't find that 10-20 million I should have based on their logic but it must be there, they said so.

Sitting at around 280k.
I don't really see a use for gil yet.

About a million here, but I spend often and don't actively try to make it. Husband has just shy of 20m from crafting alone which he made in the past few weeks. For what it's worth, he's never made/sold a 2 star item.

200k range since that's what you'll have for finishing the main story.

Fresh 50 from 2.0 without crafting or gathering should have about 200k~300k, less if leveling mostly through dungeons, more if having done all the side quests, leves, etc. And if they have kept on playing (instead of how some people just run BC and log off for the week), they probably have at least 500k~600k by now.

In 2.1, since a lot of dungeons now drop gil, and gil income is generally higher, I'd venture a guess of about 400k~500k for a fresh character that started in 2.1.

For a character that started in 2.0, and have been leveling crafting through leves (but not actively selling products), we're probably looking at 900k~1mil more or less as a base.

I'm sitting at around 402,000... that's mostly from grinding WP/AK and doing the new Dailies in 2.1

Donating 30k~100k / day for our FC housing since 2.1 and yet I still have 1m~+ for repairs, teleports, foods, and shards.

And yes, I still consider myself a casual player.

had about 250k after first job leveled with all story done. Earned about another 150k leveling monk and selling the items/materia gained. I think that's prolly waht i earned as WHM. MOney ain't that hard to come by till you go looking for a million :p

I'm usually at 500k.

Now I'm down to 200k since 2.1 broke my only source of income (weaving).

Well, judging from FC housing, the only big gil sink to come soon would be personal housing, and it'll probably be cheaper than FC housing.

So we're probably looking at at most 2mil for a personal house? Otherwise there's very little we can spend gil on, isn't it?

I see no reason to believe Personal housing won't be as insanely over priced as Fc based on the Fear that everythign will be bought out quickly used as an excuse for the FC levels.

True...Square Enix doesn't exactly have a good track record on that...

Well, I am on a legacy server, playing this game since April 2010 with all crafting and gatherring classes capped and 5 or 6 luminary tools since 2012. So I am surely not representative as an average player, but nevertheless it may be interesting.

Before 2.1, I was able to make between 700k and 1 million gil per day, with maybe 3 hours of gathering and crafting.
After 2.1 and the market crash, it dropped to an average of 50k per day.

I usually carry between 10k and 100k with me nowadays, because whenever I have 30k or more, I put this into the company chest.

Let's just say I got "dat 1.0 gil" and call it a day ;D

Have around 22 million I think across my 2 characters made a huge killing in 1.0 but like others have said made only 20k after 2.2! Rage Quit the game after the 5th day of the patch 2.1!

A bit over 3m. I gather pretty regularly and am notoriously fiesty with the marketplace.

Sitting at 2.4m atm, don't actively make gil daily, but I sell a few things here and there when I see them low on stock.

I started on release on Malboro, then moved to Balmung (legacy) with the free transfers. Lvled all DoH/DoL to 50 progressively at the same time while being completely self-sufficient (including shards), so I never really spent any gil on the Market Board except for some materia I needed for relics or crafting gear melds.

And sorry for the slight derail, I just had to ask, what is that headgear you're wearing?
As far as I can see, there is no Glacial head piece O.o

Only thing I've found worth buying, down to 160k. I don't craft.

9.5m but I haven't been bored enough to craft for gil in a long time.

I am saying if their reasoning for why the house prices were insane is a legitimate concern, personal housing will have the same issues.. a thousand times over. So they would have to use a similar system

yup no need to play a game where one of my favorite past times (crafting) is basicly useless and is in a free fall! And i really meant 2.1 and planning on checking out 2.2 ><

And i was being funny about Ragequit. I just chose not to resub until maybe 2.2

I usually hover between 100k and 150k gil.
As for making money, I could probably make millions a week if I put my complete focus on it, depending on the market of course.
But as my main reasons for having gil are teleports, gear repair and occasionally refilling my shards stock I don't need to have very much, henceforth I donate any excess gil to my FC for the house.

atleast 50mil according to SE.

900k. Only leveled one character to 50 with relic and all that, did both some low level gathering and crafting and sold some, converted used things into materia and sold, also played the market a bit. Have been saving since beginning of October when i had around 100k (just after lvl 50).

I wonder if this is enough for a personal house?

Time will tell, but right now I am not going to worry about that.
Personal housing is another ~5 months away, at least.

Haven't bought a single item off marketboard. I don't craft, but have a 50 fisher that didn't make any significant gil. I have a 50 pld, a 50 smn, and leveling, a now, 41 drg...

...having said that, I just cleared 1mil gil in my inventory. I've made more total, but this is the most at one time in my account. I started at launch.

2.7 million at the moment. I had more but max melded my main crafting class and bought some other stuff so I would have been closer to 5.
