Is there easy way for Gil?

Hi sorry if this is a stupid post im nearly broke on gil and i'm lazy to like going for the route of inventing stuff what can i do to earn gil but like a easier way rather than collect material to create items and then to sell them its just too much time :(

- Roulettes. Especially as a PLD, WAR or DRK. You don't have to do them all everyday but even doing a trial gives you 10,500 gil outright and if you're going as a tank then you get a slight bonus on top of that.

- Ventures. It's hit and miss as to what your retainers bring back but I've had them bring back furniture and dyes that sold for a considerable amount of gil. My record so far is a rug that sold for 6.5 million.

- Hunts. Try and find an active linkshell that calls out hunts. 4.0's hunts have a chance of dropping a cracked cluster, which can be traded in for level VI materia. That's a great way to earn gil as high end materia usually sells for a decent amount.

- Challenge log. Don't bother trying to do everything on it. Pick out a few of the easier things to do each week as you can get a bit of gil that way too.

One of the things I hate the most about this game, is how there's really only one way to make a steady amount of Gil efficiently - and that's to spend hours and hours leveling up your crafting and gathering classes.

As if that wasn't bad enough though, they specifically made it so that you can't just level up 1 class. Oh no, you'll need at least 2, to the point that the more you have, the easier it will be to make money.

BTW, don't pick Fisher if you plan on making money. You'll have a VERY bad time.

Other ways of making a moderate amount of money involve getting lucky with Wonderous Tales. Sometimes Khloe will get you crystals which you can exchange for level 6 crafting materia that will sell for A LOT of money. You know why they sell for a lot of money? BECAUSE CRAFTING IS PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT!

Thankfully, you don't need money for most stuff in this game. It's only housing, food, and pots. Everything else you can get just by doing your dailies. I think if you do all roulettes you will get around 50k.

Ok best ways, since I doubt anyone will give away their secrets lmao.


Here you go:
1-Do weekly challenges. Can clear 10k per challenge, very limited, and you don't make a huge amount of gil.

2-Daily roulettes. Can make anywhere from 5k to 1mil per run, if you are lucky and depending on your servers. To make the higher end farm dungeon drops that sell for large one your server. Also try getting drops from higher end dungeons that are used to make the "Newest" items/barding.

3-Re-selling items. Some items like Cotton bolls, or wall paper , and paintings can be bought and resold for 10-100x the original cost. ARR beast tribes that are levelled are a good source of resellable items. Also try reselling crafting / gathering gear bought from a NPC.

4-Farming mats/skins. Aldgoat/Gigantoad/Boar hides all sell fairly well usually from 500-5k each depending on server. As a max level character you can get a stack of aldgoat in roughly 20 minutes.

5-GC seals can also get you a lot of money, check the value of the items on your market board, and trade in GC seals for those items, farm more items to turn into GC seals from Raids/Dungeons/ Fates. Raziqsand is a good example.

Well that's 5 for you Good Luck!

Bonus #6 - Offer to dance for people for Gil. You would be surprised that this actually makes gil, not a lot, but effort is minimal.

Ventures - get crafting mats that are used a lot (Halgai Mane, Manz Hair) sell em. That's like 10k an hour on my server per retainer and you don't even have to do anything extra other than check and send them out every hour. Doesn't seem like much but it adds up really quick.

Buy cheap stuff from the marketboard. Get a single crafting class to level 30. Learn how to desynth. Pick which classes you want to level up in desynth. Go into dungeons unsync'd for that type of gear and desynth them.

It takes effort, if you're actually willing to, to level up desynthing, but on days I'm active enough in dungeons, I get a good bit of goldsmith/leatherworker gear, which I just break down and then sell the mats on the MB. I'm sitting on 110,000,000+ gil right now from desynthing, and the occasional Level 70 party maps with friends.

If they hunt a lot or warp around a lot, then the teleportation fees would add up quickly compared to how much they get per hour. It's better to just attack the Halgai and Manzasiri in and farm it for an hour, but that still might be too much effort.

That sounds like they would be doing that already even if they didn't bother with retainers?

You just have to go back once an hour using return or free destination. If you are doing roulettes/PF just sit at the bell and check when you get out.

Farming is good if you have a lot of time but the ventures you can literally just afk at the bell do other stuff IRL and come back to send them out.

The easiest gil maker, if you want to stick purely to battle jobs and never ever touch a single DoH/DoL job, is the Challenge Log. It should be enough to cover your teleport fees on a weekly basis if you're not that active. Speaking of teleport fees, you can buy Aetheryte Tickets with hunt seals, so they pay for themselves.

Alternatively, go treasure hunting. Dragonskin maps for level 60+ parties, and Gazelleskin maps for level 70. Without DoL classes, you won't be able to gather your own, but you can buy them off others, or just join parties that people are making, explain that you don't have a map of your own, and don't roll on loot from other peoples' maps. Each treasure chest gives, at minimum, 3k gil or so, and it only goes up from there.

One of the easiest and fastest ways to make gil (kinda surprised no one has mentioned it yet) is to level a tank job to 60 and just run leveling roulettes for cracked clusters for Grade 6 materia and sell them, it's basically 90,000+ gil per dungeon. Outside of that another easy way is to turn in gear you don't need into seals via delivery missions then buy glamour prisms with your seals and sell them, I make 1 million+ a day just from selling glamour prisms alone. I'm kinda surprised no one has mentioned either yet.

my g/f farms tank in need bonus, trades in gc gear buys moonstones and sells them She also gathers shards and sells them.

i craft.

If you don't care about crafting and never plan on picking it up you can also sell all of the crystals you have, you're not using them for anything and depending on how long you've been playing you can easily make 1-2 million off of them.

Surprised nobody's mentioned maps. Obviously there is a heavy RNG involved, but one night between normal and hidden canals, I made 750k gil (not even counting selling drops) in 90-120 mins. And with a full map party, maps really aren't hard.

I don’t know why there is so much hate on FSH Gil making. I can average around 100 to 200k a day selling leve fish and tank fish. It’s not as bad as everyone says.

Spearfishing is good, it made things so much easier. For me, because baits wasn't free or directly available with gils. Jigs have to be crafted, scrip baits the worse. The amount of time spent preparing to fish aren't worth the real value on market. Gathering mats for crafting is long enough, crafting/gather to gather fish mats for crafting tho.. that extra step adds an exponential time/value.

You will get one of these maps each week for turning in 9 items of Wonderous Tails.

Yeah buy oriental partitions from vendor in mor dhona and resell on market board for twice as much.

i couldn't disagree more

fisher is maybe the EASIEST way to make tons of money. just lvl this one class to 70, wich isn't even that hard or expensive, and then take some lvl 70 gear even without materia melds and start spearfishing...
dusklight aethersands go for 20k at my server, and they sell pretty good. i can fish like 100 within one to two hours, thats 2 mio gil. Ivory Sole for the Sushi everyone wants, Swordtip for the crafter buffood... that fisher can't make money is a myth.

Just unlock the challenge log

If you really want to make gil - crafting and gathering really is the way to go. But I understand if you dont want to make the investment. It's a long way if you want to get to current stat and levels.

Fisher has always been a decent moneymaker. Combined with CUL desynthesis (maybe not so much nowdays since i only did it back in ARR) but Aethersands and selling some fishes is always been a good investment. Plus is a cheap class is always a good thing.

Do Wondrous Tails for maps, minions and materia.

Hunts and Adventurer in Need leveling roulettes give cracked clusters.

Spend GC seals on Coke or other things.

Save cheap grade V and VI materia and convert them at Mutamix. Use 5 different materias of the same grade to maximize the chance to get something better.

Farming the level 44 dungeon unsynced for the gear can be worthwhile depending on the server.

Spend extra beast tribe tokens and uncapped tomes on crafting materials.

Unsync the 60 dungeon's that have minions some of them are going for up to like 15 million depending on the server because no one is running them much anymore.

Craft aldgoat leather(can be done at level20ish gather/crafter). Easy to craft being alumen+aldgoat skin+earth shard. Sells for a good amount on the MB.

Challenge log. But also the crafting materials that drop from primals also sell for a pretty penny.

Most importantly being the adventure in need in any of the roulettes generate a good amount of revenue if you do it repeatedly.

I haven't actively tried to make gil since sometime in 2.x
On that note. every now and again I see what is out there. And normally it's not bad beyond time it takes to Market board stuff. There is always ways to make 1m / hour.

Also I would never give out my finding... As it would crash if talked about.

Before deciding yourself on a method, dont forget to check the prices yourself at the market board, because they can be different on your server. For example the rank 6 materias that used to sell well on mine, for around 120k gils, have dropped down to 40k-60k since you can get back 40% of those already used on an item, and since hunts can give you 340 upgrades (more people doing them = more cracked cluster = more materias 6 on the market = prices going down).

Dont forget to consider the time needed for a method as well. If you take too much time leveling your fisher the prices might have changed in the end.

That being said i earned most of my gils reselling rank 6 materias, and Aquapolis/Uznair's drops. Some items found in the palace of the dead can reach a high price too.

Gathering retainers are fairly decent and mostly passive income. They will require an initial time commitment upfront, but it pays off (they don't need to be a super high level to be good).

Find a material that does well on the market board. Send them on a venture to collect a quantity of that item. They'll be back in around an hour.

Your mileage may vary, but crystals, flax, and silver ore would be low-level items I'd check prices and movement on.

Join a fc, gain the guildmasters trust, steal all the Gil and leave...

I’m JOKING!

Never, ever, ever do that!

still...

Yep. This is how I've gotten a lot of money recently. My retainers have brought me back 2 koalas, and 3 mameshibas. And sold them all for around a 50m total. All this income without being even logged into the game.

May I ask what ilvl your gatherers are? Mine is Miner/Botanist i296 and I'm not sure if that's high enough to get a minion.


As for the question, selling glamour prisms have always kept me afloat.

Depends what you consider a steady amount. Daily roulettes will net you a chunk of gils. 5 or 10 mins gathering a timeworn map each day can net you a ton of gils if you flog em. Or potentially mega gils if you do the canals.

The problem the game has is gil actually comes incredible easily. There's almost nothing worth spending it on. You dont need to buy food cos the average player already overgears 99% of content anyway. So a few extra points of crit wont mean a thing.

Don't need materia for same reasons as above. Combined with how fast gear is replaced means it's bit worth investing in melding when it'll be replaced next week. No point buying crafted gear when tome stone stuff is so easy to get.

Again no point buying crafted gear because it's usually far to expensive to justify it's lifespan. 6 mil for some of the 320 weapons. Susanos are free... Or you can save a few weeks and get lore 330 or Shinryu 335.

You simply don't need money for anything other than maybe few glamours and I think that's a big factor in while the economy doesn't circulate much. Nothing to spend money on so people just get richer and richer and richer without even trying.
