How much gil does the *average* player have?

I know this varies from server to server but I'm curious as to what everyone thinks the average player has. I want to hold a small contest/event for my server but I don't know how much to set the prizes to make it worthwhile.

I think I can consider myself a average player in terms of gil. I don't farm or craft, usually stay towards the battles and excitement. I tend to have around 100k to 50k pretty commonly, unless I get a good sell on a convertible materia

Leveling a fresh char from 1-50 with storyline gets you about 200k+.

I have...20K? It really depends on how much materia I sell and what stuff I randomly buy that day...

I don't have any crafting, had this character for a month now almost, and I float between 250-500k

Also, the person wh0 said that you get over 200k for story, actually, If you save all your tokens, you get approx., 160k. (assuming you took only tokens like I did)
And that is a decent starting point for endgame.

I live paycheck to paycheck. Whatever I make, is immediately spent on materia etc for my pvp gear.

240k on me...don't use it though last item I bought was one of the holiday parka jacket things...had 300k soooo ya.

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

I don't craft or actively gather and I hover at 1.5 Million. 200 - 250k for a fresh 50 sounds about right, though.

4mil, bf has 8mil because he did crafting early on and I sold materia early on.

We make no money now thanks to 2.2.

Over.. 9000? :p You?

So 2 or 3 mil for a grand prize should raise a lot of interest (with proper advertisement)? Basically, what I'm thinking of is a screenshot contest where I describe 10 to 20 (haven't decided yet) different locations/landmarks as vaguely as possible, then ask people to find them. Too much work for too little reward or about right?

This is well above average, I suspect you're just wanting to show off your fortune at this point.

200k give or take would probably be average for most players.

between 700-900k personally, i do my daily and all... but it's don't go up fast. i don't do craft.

Off Topic: What anime is your signature from? O_o

On Topic: I have on average a little over 400k on me... but I don't spend it on anything.

I just broke 200k today...sigh

I tend to hover between 50k-100k but only because I'm still leveling off my Crafting classes, I'm at the point now where everything I need is at 50 but I'm overmelding my crafting gear to hit the skill caps I need, so any new money is spent on materia.

As for prizes I think most players would gladly spend a few hours trying to win 200-300k.

I usually have around 100K, usually gets dumped as I craft, but goes back up when I go to level a DoL class.

I am just leveling all my DoH (lvls 23-50) and float between 150K - 300K daily.

on average less than 30k.. I live paycheck to paycheck as well. I also have all but 1 craft to 50, but I am too distracted by shiny things to spend time making money with my skills.

hmm, last week I started levling my WVR - I had 100K Gil. I'll reach WVR 45 soon and have 200Gil - the higher level stuff just burns through shards.

I occasionally craft, I do my daily leves. I have around 700k but, since a lot of people I know think I'm rich, I think the average player must have somewhat less than this. I was around 2m but I donated over 1m to housing.

200-300k

No I don't craft. It just builds up doing DF a whole lot.

Though I spent most of it recently on WHM staff (highest before relic, froget name) for almost 300k. Already back up to almost 100k.

This game really has nothing you need to spend money on. Only once in a blue moon does something up up that is better than a drop or you dont feel like waiting for said drop.

I am sitting at a little over 2 million Gil. I make money mainly with my botanist and a little with playing the market.

Before I started doing materia selling, I averaged 300-400k.

hit 2.5m recently. scrimping and saving since Beta 4. playing the market occasionally. fair amount of crafting/gathering

Around 100k. Not really intend on seeking for money yet since currently more focus on capping my favourite jobs. Also have not played since release of 2.1 due to work.

Currently sat at around 600k. Mostly just from dungeon runs, selling stuff on the market and doing the new dailies as well as leves.

550,000 gil

Half of that got from just the story alone and the rest from botany. I also spent some on gear + leveing craft

9mil going for 10 then I give up, to tedious....but this new patch has really made it a struggle

201k market not making it easy though i make my money from dungeons though if the market dosent get fixed soon i might just move on ( i like this game so id rather not ).

3.3 mil, non legacy here, none of it from crafting (only have Alchemy at 50).

Haven't sold anything since 2.1 has hit, made 400k+ from dailies and dungeons.
Nothing to spend it on.

With me and both my retainers combined I have around 50k cause the economy sucks everyones always undercutting eachother by 1 gil and with npc selling level 1-50 gears and tools makes it hard for crafters to gain anything ever since patch 2.1 came out

I'm Legacy and I started 2.0 with 1.8mil. I've spent about 3mil since then and I still have just over 1 mil. By no means is this the average but I've asked my fellow FC mates and friends who rerolled and their average on a Legacy world is that of 100~300k at any given time.

5mil but i sell stuff often

Non legacy. Right now 1,579,067. No trades kills to speak of, very low level gatherings. I only sell and not buy off of the Market Board.
