Post Your Solution For Gil Generation

During that time I got ~175 regular ores and ~30 high quality. I'm not sure what the high quality sells for. Let's say the high quality compensates for what you would have got without the food and call it 2 stacks.

I was a level or two over, but my gear was lagging so the rate would have been about the same at level with level appropriate gear.

Based on that I can guess at 10k every 30 min., which isn't bad with people saying a raid repair bill is around 500gil.

But that is just my best guess. You would need to ask a level 50 miner in level 50 gear to be sure.

Can I get someome to confirm this? 10k for 30 mins would be an amazing way to get gil.

Allow selling mats for more than 1-2 gil. Even if it's still only 10-300 gil like in 1.0. Also FATEs, Dungeons, Quests, and Leves hardly support a player.

Before someone says HURR LEVEL A DOL/H. I have. I'm not even talking about my own gil generation. I mean for the economy. Right now hardly any gil is coming in, and more and more keeps sinking out because of repairs/ports/transportation/etc.

If you think there isn't a gil problem, it's because you aren't 50 and running endgame content yet. Repairs are draining me faster than I can believe. There is almost NO gil introduction once you have done the one-time content, and the gil removal goes up to a ridiculous degree at endgame.

I would have to say that what I am gathering from this is:

1. Gear wears out way too fast. (in my opinion I don think think you should be repairing your equipment more than maybe once or twice a week)

2. Fates, leve's, ect all need to award more gold OR mobs in the dungeons..fates..ect need to drop gold on top of what is awarded at the end.

3. People should be able to trade/sell unique equipment they find in dungeons.

I just want to chime in with my 2 cents.. not that it means much but I don't care. Anyways, Every mmo I have played has some sort of daily quests that rewards money for doing them. You could essentially "survive" by just doing the dailies everyday. This game lacks that completely and if FFXIV wants to win over the crowd of people coming from all of these other games that do not require you to craft or gather crap and play the AH then it better fix this because people will either leave or resort to buying gil from these spammers.

((((Do you honestly think that all of these gil sellers are spamming in town because they just feel like it? Absolutely not!!! There is a market for it and it is blowing up with customers!!!!)))))

Problem is in a month max, the market board might be useless for selling stuff since people are already undercutting on items down to vendor price and undercutting on items that are not even selling yet by 1-5k gil.
I have even found stuff below vendor value, but still more expensive since the retainer is in the wrong town so you get fee's on top lol.
-------------------------------------
How is SE planning on making people actually make money later into the game when people got everything?
And how are we going to afford houses / free company houses if there is no real way of making gil?
Feels like you are helping the gil sellers by not giving any real way of making gil.

Thats the purpose of this thread bud. To try to dig up good ways to create gil. Maybe a dev will see peoples suggestions for what they can do to alleciate these problems.

There is no need for more gil generation. all that is going to do is make the numbers bigger for player to player transactions, and gil sinks trivial.

They will adjust it soon, even in 1.0 it didn't cost 6k to repair. They're just trying to bleed guys like me sitting on a fortune.

There is no gil generation issue.

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?
