Ignore the entire opening post, just read the top comment.


1-5: Limsa lominsa. using the bait provided
5-10: Middle la Noscea. Nym river switching up to Crayfish Balls
10-20: Western la Noscea Brewers Beacon using goby balls until 15 where you switch to rat tails
20-27: Upper la Noscea. Oakwood Lake on the western side of the map using Crow Flys and Brass spoon lures
27-35: Western Thanalan. Moondrip using chocobo fly here gives you grip killifish which are the best exp by far until dune fishing
35-40: Southern Thanalan. Sagoli Dunes using Sand leeches
40-45: Eastern Thanalan. The Burning wall using Stem borers until 41 where i switched to Mithril spoon lure
45-50: Either Cloud Fishing in Coerthas or Mor dhona North Silvertear for catching fish for the nearby leves (HQ fish turn ins are 90k a pop) Cloud fishing uses hover worms, Mor Dhona used Glow worms.

Step 2. Gather a Peisteskin map each day
Step 3. Group of 8 players, each with their own Peisteskin map. Do all 8 of them each day.

Step 4. Deposit gained Gil from Treasures

After a week, 8 players doing this will have gained at MINIMUM, 758,016Gil (1692 gil is the normal reward from peisteskin treasure chest, for each player, sometimes its just over 5k).

Thats just for 8 players, over the course of a week.
If you have 24 players, thats 2,274,048gil in a week.
If you have 80 players, thats 7,580,160gil in a week.

My FC been doing this since the patch hits. tho we dont have anywhere near 80 members we still make a ton of gil. Its very nice to see the millions in our bank.

Those maps are being spammed so much on my server the drops are all but worthless.

Honestly, it's not that hard to make money if you know what you're doing. I made 300k this week. The biggest issue I think is people are looking for a big payoff, the 1 million gil sell. Then they start to get discouraged when they can't find it. I sell a lot of small stuff for 1k to 5k, it's small but adds up fast.

If you re-read the post, you'll see that the money being made is not from the drops but from the actual gil reward from the map. Money from selling the drops is a bonus on top of the amounts listed in the OP, which I will admit are a bit lacklustre in profit right now. I.e. each peisteskin map usually drops 1692 gil per person in the kill party. 8 maps x 8 players x 1,692 gil = minimum 108,288 gil per day from the gil rewards alone. Maps occasionaly drop ~5200 gil (I forget the exact number) per person, which adds an extra 28,000 gil per map that does this.

My FC uses this method to earn money fairly quickly and has made about 2.5 million just from the gil drops since maps started being a thing. That said, getting at least 8 people who are willing to do this on a regular basis has its challenges. When we first started out it was fun to do, but it can become a bit of a chore so the interest has waned a bit. We don't do it every day, since there's other stuff to do, so we usually have about 16 maps each time we get around to doing a map run and that can be mentally exhausting to complete them all in one go.

Thanks. This is so worth it, even if its just for a one time run >_<

The good with your method is not that its great gil, but that it's NEW gil.

Because you could probably sell the maps to other people for more than 1600x8, but not generate new guaranteed gil (plus myth, wee).

I can see this being something to do every once in a while. But the overhead to get that many maps for the guild would be overbearing. And to get everyone in the guild to level a gathering class to get a map to just give all the profits to the bank also is not something that is very feasible. No other reason to level gathering... everything you get sells for 1-15gil more or less.

I done the math as well and it would slowly get you gil. But the rate is just horrid. 7.5million with 80 people. Lets break out the math of exactly what that is.

560 hours of work (1hr for all 8 per day x 10 partys x 7 days) + about 13 hours to farm all the maps as a collective (10mins x 80 people). So 573hrs per 7.5 million = 13,089 Per person per hour. That is just not an acceptable amount of gil... almost anything else you would do would be more then that. Running a dungeon with philo gets you like 10k in mob kills and a 7k philo item at the end of an hour.

Now you get more then gil yes... but the markets are garbage on all servers so most mat drops are 1-100gil each even if hq. And even if you sell the shards and rare philo mat drops you will be pressed to break 17k/hr gil per person average.

And the fun part getting people to give up "THEIR" gil to the bank at the end.

To any guild that can pull it off for the long term my hats off to you. For me this only works on paper not in practice, the low rewards and way it is collected will not work over the longterm.

You make more money by having each person selling the map and doing something else to make money

But it's not new generated gil. That's the point. Generated gil is new, unchangeable, and ADDS to the economy. Also doesn't depend on a buyer, and no undercutting. Also maps are likely to go for prices less than 12k soon (13.5k on my server, 2 days ago), meaning less than the amount of gil generated by it.

Cough...You should not be leaking out such information. ;)

We've also come to this conclusion a week ago. Within that week, we've generated 1.5mil from just 8 people donating the treasure maps gil and giving me all the tomestones mats to make into items for sale. The medium house is looking more and more plausible now.

Pretty much. Maps on Balmung go for about 15k ish. So 8 x 15k = 120,000 for far less work than hunting down each treasure.

Running high level dungeons with your FC will produce like 4k/person/run.

I think that's the first time I've seen someone using one of my sigs. :D

another good way to make $$ . Do dungeon runs . Everyone wants stones anyway so kill all the mobs in the dungeon you get close to 4k each that is 16k for 30 mins of work . so say you run the dungeon 5 times ( 2 and a half hours ) that is 80k times 7 days is 560k that is just for one group . SO say you have 20 full time members on . that is 5 groups so take 560k times 5 equals 2.8 mil a week . Add in the treasure map farming from time to time and selling the bonus items you are looking at around 4mil a week want the small house 2 weeks its yours . Want the mega big house will take 41 weeks

On Hyperion last week maps were 22k each. This week around 15k, although I haven't checked in the last couple days. I don't expect that price to sustain itself much longer, since the market is getting more and more flooded with them.

My FC does this, too. That along with addition donations at the end of each treasure hunt.

@ that fishing guide: You can't actually fish at the lighthouse until lv15, you can fish on the nearby coastline though.

Just as a note to the OP: If you have all your leves saved up you can easily get from 1-50 in about 12 hours. Just make sure you save your seals for constant survival 2 manuals.

Buy Wildfowl Fly while in Forgotten Springs.

From this point on, I used Leves as part of my Experience Leveling. The Recommended Locations are where you can Farm the required fish and the Bait I used that got me the most HQ of the fish Required for the Leve.

To be able to utilize the LeveQuests below, you must first unlocked the ability to do LeveQuests in this zone, which will require a DoW/DoM at that level. However this does not mean that you cannot do these locations. You still get HQ fish at a pretty great rate for lots of XP.

You didn't discover the hot water tellling us leves are fast. Except you actually need leves unlocked and to fish that HQ fish :) Waste money buying HQ fish would destroy the entire method attempting to MAKE money, the purpose of the thread. This guide works. It's truly nearly 30 hours of gameplay if costant fishing and fishing (and turning and turning). HQ fish may boost a bit , if lucky to find them. :rolleyes:

Are people still actually talking about "generating" gil? Seriously?

OP is talking about making money for a house, guess what happens to all that "generated gil" once they buy the House?

No matter what method you're using to make money for a FC house you're not "helping" the economy. Regardless, the economy is retarded because of the amount of people that cant into economics and undercut and screw themselves, Oh also the fact that there's nothing worth buying in this game. The economy is inherently "broken" by design and square is okay with that as gauged by the housing prices.

This game doesn't need to "generate" gil. Please stop spreading this stupid economy doomsday theory thats been circulating since launch, nor was that relevant to OP.

I dont know about other people's servers but our servers Ah is getting better. People know the housing prices now and some just stopped saving or caring so they are spending again. The materia market is crazy good right now.

My FC does maps every day, we do any where from 8-12 maps depending on the people we have. The bank is very, very good. On average we get 1-2 maps worth 5.2k, the rest are 1600 gil. People need to remember to fill the party up, dont 6 or 7 man it even though you can, the gil distributed is a set amount, taking all 8 people is key. The mats we cant sell are being stocked in the FC chest for crafters. I really thought that getting a house would take forever, but for our small FC (24 raiders) we will have enough for a medium size house in about a month, and we only started out with 1.7 million (our final housing price is 17 million). I dont think waiting 2 months for a place is bad at all.

Maybe the thread isn't primarily intended for you. Like many things in life, you (general) are not the center of the world. It's just a generic topic about how to make some gil for something, like the mentioned FC housing.

Alternately, learn to 7 man extreme primals and merc. Wish my broadband connection was up to the task.

Sell magazine subscriptions door-to-door.

I hear there are openings for courtesans in Costa. You just have to like Littlefels.

I'm going to have to side with sylkis on this one.

The fact is, currently you would "make" more gil selling the maps while their price is still above the total payout per map. The person buying the map will still generate the gil you aren't - maybe not as much, but in the end the gil is generated by the buyer and you still pocket more gil.

If we're talking raw numbers, sell the maps for more gil / less time invested. The added bonus is that if and when the price of maps drop below the total payout (which is insane) you can just go back to popping your own maps for "guaranteed" gil generated by the map rather than trying to sell on the market when it's flooded and prices have dropped.

On that note, if prices ever were to drop below the minimum payout per map, don't you think this wouldn't last more than a day seeing as you would theoretically profit from the map with a chance at getting a bluebird minion (actually worth 1mil on sarg)??

What other dungeons have drops for crafting housing items other than Stone Vigil and Am. I just know the Ishguard Steel and AK stone drops.

This is what I was going to say. Somebody will eventually use the map to generate gil.

Right now, maps are about 10k on my server yet I am still simply selling them because they are not worth the time.
To get the max amount of gil you have to party with 8 others and each of them would have a map (otherwise you only get 1.8k back).
Doing 8 maps takes about an hour, which gets you about 15k gil (not including items).
In that hour I could have sold the map for 10k, farm something else and easily make more than 5k.
