This is how I made gil for a big house.

Just want to share this method with everyone:

Thank you for watching please leave a comment if you wonder something or if you've got something to complain about.

I made about 10 million gil / 3 days on Cerberus EU with this method.

Video is 4 months old though.
I don't know Cerberus but materia market pretty crashed unless you lucky on getting crafting materia.

Yes it is, but I tried to do it this week to see if it still worked on Cerberus and lo' and behold I made 10 million gil.

Of course it's a bit RNG but still in the long run it's not, the thing which sells for more than 5 cheap materia VI are craftman + gatherer (about 500-600% profit. Savage aim and might about 100% profit and quickarm about 20-30% profit) those are 11 different materias and together you'll get 3860% profit in 11 materia then there's the "shit" materia which you will lose 80% of the value those are elemental and the stat stuffs so if my math is correct those are 9 different materia. So (3860/11) - (20x9) = 170% net gain.

this method is good to make money in a long run with some fund (if your luck is not reallyyyy badddd)
but it's mostly luck-based and not recommended for people with low fund unless you wanna go "win big or lose everything" route.
also it's better to put in 4-5 different types of junk/cheap materia because that increases the odds of getting red/crafter/gatherer materia.
please note that the outcome will always be different from the materia you used...
so in the vid you are very lucky to not get many other stat materias or elem res ones.

ps. check server's market first.. for me...i tried to make sure that my 5 try on transmutation will cost less than 1 crafter/gatherer's

Yes I agree you need a small budget, but just buy some cheap DoH and DoL gears next to the market board and sell them for a profit to get a nice economy flowing:

I used to do that with vendor mats, then someone started selling them for 1 gil.

I've made most of my money for a large house by just hunting SB A/S ranks regularly and selling the materia for 60-80K each based on the current market fluctuation.

I made 100 million by crafting. Go figure

This is correct. I'd like to add that one should also only use materia of the same grade (I-VI) because the result will usually be the lowest grade that was used (sometimes a higher grade procs).

There are 24 types of materia. If 5 different types are used in the transmutation, that leaves 19 possible materia types as a result. The chance to get a specific type of materia is therefore 1/19. Multiply this with the price of each materia on your server and add up those values to estimate your total winnings.

Example from my server:

Dex VI, Int VI, Mind VI, Pie VI and Quickarm VI are 20k gil each. Total cost is 100k gil, so we want to win more than that on average from transmutations. The best resulting grade VI materias and their prices are listed below.

Savage Aim Materia: 130k
Savage Might Materia: 100k
Heaven's Eye Materia: 120k
Craftsman's Command Materia: 714k
Craftsman's Cunning Materia: 660k
Craftsman's Competence Materia: 650k
Gatherer's Guerdon Materia: 370k
Gatherer's Guile Materia: 410k

Multiply the prices by 1/19=0.05263 and add them up.

0.05263 * (130k+100k+120k+714k+660k+650k+370k+410k) = 166k

From these expensive materia types alone one would gain (on average!) 166k for every 100k worth one puts in the transmutation. The small amount of gil from the cheaper types of materia is extra on top of the 166k. If you want to be precise you can do the calculation using all 19 types of materia you may receive from the transmutation.

On my server, if you are not into crafting, you could make good gil via hunts and sell the grade VI DoW/DoM materias if you have time and patience that's it.

I Made most of my by playing with market board, buying stuff that were really cheap and then after sometime they just skyrocket, for example this last month on my server crafter demimaterias were really cheap at around 30k, this last week they were selling for 130k and i had a good profit of over 5 mil by spending less than 500-600k

also for those that are not into fflogs rainbow percentile like me, i always sell all the VI materias from 24man raids, leveling roulettes and hunts
