What's your way to make money ?

Hey guys ! :)
I'm derping around at the time trying to make some gils, cause i REALLY wanna buy that Vanya Robe and Hat !

But i got chocked by the price : 400k for the HQ ? O.o
Since i started the game, i've been running around 20-50k but never reached over though...

I started a botanist lately, level 31 now, but i still can't figure how people make such money (when i hear housing will cost 3M...)

So, got any detailed guides on how to farm gils for beginners ?

A magician never reveals his tricks.

Keep running WPs, sell the Tomestone materials for gil. If you want Vanya gear, you should be buying Potash anyway. Once you've farmed enough for your gear (9, 18, or whatever), sell extra ones for any more gil you need.

10-15 minute WP runs is one of the best sources of gil in the game atm.

Other options include gathering and spiritbinding, but results may vary on that. I suggest WPs.

Archona : I'll need to find some people to run WP, but it's not the harder part i guess.
What materials should i buy ?

You need Potash to make Vanya gear, so buy that and save yourself gil. Just look for people in Mor Dhona who spam WTB Material, there are always a few of them.

spiritbonding

aetheryte rings sometimes drop level IV materia, sells for quite a lot on the market (375k for vit materia IV yesterday)


you can also level your chocobo while doing this.

Farm tomes, buy mats (potash, peacock ore, etc.), sell them for 25k each on MB or sell them in Mor Dhona, profit. Making gil as a Botanist is tough as there are a lot of bots who will undercut any real profit you could be making, but you can always farm shards (fire, ice, lightning, etc.), then later crystals, then later clusters and sell those in bunches for a good chunk of gil. There are many ways to make massive amounts of gil, but those are well known enough to just throw out there. Leveling a DoH is also a good idea, but keep in mind some make more than others (for example your Vanya Robe + Hat :P).

But i can't make the gear unless i have the 50 class required huh ? XD

saber : Where can i farm those rings ?

Do some Ak wp speed run. It may be slow but it's profitable. Made 70k in two weeks. Course you can also sell the allagan bronze u get as well.

the rings are crafted GSM 1star. I would load up on militia gear when you spirit bond as it all has chance to IV materia. Even some of the III sell for a good price.

Also DoH is great I made well over 2 mil this week. Spent a lot of it on vanya hat and robe HQ and having the melded. Farming crystal with Botany is good steady money, but it wont be fast.

WP speed run by far the easiest way to make money.

Buy Potash, Coke, Hardened Sap, etc and sell.

Also, Spiritbind gear while doing the WP runs -- HQ Militia gear can be converted to Tier III & IV materia, some of which sells for 100~200k (depending on the server)

You can make millions doing this ;)

farm aldgoat skins and horns they sell pretty well on diablos. just outside camp drybone

i spiritbond them in the dark devices area in n.thanalan. it can also be done at any garlean bases.

you can also run dungeons to do it, but i found you can sb more gear than just jewelry more effectively by using a area with a lot of mobs. aetheryte rings improve spiritbond, so i generally spiritbond 2 rings (it improves your spiritbonding by 1, and they can stack) with white/militia gear in the armor/jewelry slots. (level IV materia has a low chance of dropping from any gear at ilvl 55 and above.)

the % chance of getting a tier IV materia from level 55 gear is like 10% on a good day. You might be better off trying to spirit bond lvl 45-55 crafting gear, since theres 0 change you'll get an elemental materia or a low cost stat materia (+int, i'm looking at you!)

You can just find someone to craft it on your server. There should be plenty by now who will do it for relatively cheap.

I gather all my materials and craft one star gear then sell it.

If you don't have crafts one activity I do for gathering is farming fleece and snurble tufts while spirit binding level 45-49 accessories.

PS: If you're from my server these are probably the worse way to make gil :p

Not spending it.
