How can I make GIL? HELP

Hey guys!

I'm fairly new to FF XIV and I find myself really struggling with making Gil. I usually just sell stuff in my inventory and gear I get from dungeons I don't need. The roulette bonus are nice but not really all that great. Is there anyway to make a sufficient amount of Gil (such as 1 mil-5 mil) and sustain that without having to level a crafting class?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I've made lots of money gathering. If you can learn what sells and keep up with the market.

Raise your DoH, DoL, and retainers, DoH to craft items, DoL to collect items, Other retainers jobs to hunt for items. Also keep your retainers sales max as much as possible they can sell up to 20 items. Study the market and see what is hot and focus on that. An alternative would be using your tomes to purchase HQ items for crafting. Just study the market before hand.

As an alternate you can do map quest as well, you can find maps with DoL and get a group for treasure hunting.

Leve wise you can see what items are used and craft those as well just compare to market before hand.

If you don't want to craft, go gather. You can get maps that way. You can either sell them or do them with other people for profit. If you don't want to gather, go do the raids, trials and dungeons that drop rare minions or materials and sell them on the marketboard.

If you really hate gathering or crafting and want to make big bucks quickly in true capitalist fashion...

Buy treasure maps from MB. If you manage to get some rare furniture, you can sell them for millions easily.

I sold a maple tree for 2.6 mil last month. With Shirogane ward dropping, these things will go up like rockets.

The one catch? You may need a light party at least and that means rolling against at least 3 other people.

Materia always sells well and it is pretty easy to obtain these days via various means. Also run the three elite hunt marks for a 5K gill each. The other levels also pay a 1K but can be a grind if you don't need Centurio Seals. If you haven't leveled your retainers do so for gathering and sell the proceeds. They usually return with HQ items and the newer ones go for decent amount on my server's MB. None of these are millions in one go but they add up pretty quickly.

buy items from npc and sell it 5x price. i do taht everyday and do millions with taht^^

I made millions with Stat Potions

I know you don't want to worry about crafting, but if you want to put the items to more use that you get from dungeons, I'd suggest leveling one crafter class to 30 to learn desynth, then you don't have to level them again.

Quest: Gone to Pieces
Requirement: Level 30 Crafting Class
Quest Giver: Syntgoht - Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (x14,y10)
Prerequisites: main scenario quest Life, Materia and Everything

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Endgame-Guide - This will help with leveling them up rather quickly, plus you can always jump into unsync'd dungeons to get all the loot and desynth from there.

I don't ever bother to craft (Minus when I craft just to level up stuff to repair my own gear), and if I'm jumping in dungeons a lot during the week, I can make a couple million without trying that much.

Have you already unlocked the Challenge Log?

Full Palace of the Dead runs usually bring in a few mil each. Monotonous and time-consuming for sure, but very high reward for something outside the realm of crafting.

Thank you guys. This helps a lot!

quests, sell the allag coins, tank roulettes, craft dyes, craft glamour prisms. challenge

best way to save is put a limit how much you keep on your character, and put the rest on a retainer. My g/f saved up 500K just from quest gil by only keeping 5K on her for teleports. she just started a character and saved over 800K used 300K for fc room and has 500K for an apartment she saving for shirogane.

on her tank character she farmed tank in need to earn money for our fc house.

One more thing to keep in mind right now is that the market is kind of hurting at the moment. Lots of relevant things are not so much in demand right now like they were in the first month of expansion, and MIGHT be again in the first week of patch (though possibly with different items), and lots of people are overdoing the supply because they wish to wrap up fundraising for the big house hunt that's coming (and going) in about 72-73 hours from the time of writing this post.

Making money might be rough at the moment, but keep plugging away. Just talking low level mats--I don't know your gatherers' levels at the moment--sell gathering mats that remain relevant, such as silver ore, effervescent water, cobalt ore, and uhh... I sadly forget if anything from Botany (though, to be fair, it sometimes seems like the devs do too). Try getting materia to sell through spiritbonding your gear. Do your daily hunts and roulettes, as well as weekly challenge log entries, for the easy gil they all provide. Also, be ready to save tomestones and GC Seals for materials, just in case. I'm not so sure you'll make the amount you're asking for in a week, but you'll at least be making something.

On patch day, especially during the early hours, keep an eye out for what mats will suddenly be in high demand. Those will spike. It's not sustained, but it's something too.

Hopefully, the market won't be swamped by other people all thinking the same thing. It'll be like traffic hour on the freeway, and that might get aggravating.

You can make a 1 million Gil a week by doing all Daily Roulettes. Wait for the new map thingy happening in 4.1 as apparently you can get millions by completing all floors? If I understood right
