How to make gil

Well since so many people complain that they cant make gil I will give them some options.

How to make gil as DOW or DOM:

Step 1: Buy cheap lvl 48-50 gear that wont affect your combat effectiveness too much. For example a full set of 48-50 jewelry works well.
Step 2: Do 2 easy dungeon runs like CM
Step 3: Convert all cheap items to materia

Outcome: 200 tombstones + 5 lvl 3 materia. With tomstones buy materials for 125 each that are worth 30-35k on my server. Total gain for 2 runs is about 70-150k depending on materia you get. Takes less than 2 hours total.

Shhhhhhhh!

You do realize that you're not making a single gil doing that, right? All you are doing is moving gil around from one player to another. Those of us talking about the gil problem, which BTW Yoshida agrees with us, are saying that there are very fews ways to generate large amounts new gil within the system.

question 1: need all players create fresh gil?
question 2: is it wrong to trade with other players to get gil which someone else created?

There are enough ways to create (not trade) gil. The problem is, some players refuse to do it. Mostly the players who complain later about the gil.
It is ok if they don't want to create fresh gil themself. But telling them they should not trade with other players because it don't bring fresh gil ingame don't make it better.

Generate gil.. Hm. There's that new cool way to do AK, you can make a premade and farm 1400 gil every.. 60 second?

And 1000 times, it's not our problem. Square Enix can easily tweak gil sinks and gil creation should there be a need. Apparently there is a need, and they are working on doing so. So what? I don't care where my gil comes from as long as I can make it.

Working as intended.......

Well maybe he should have made ways to do this then. Only things worth NPC'ing are Allagan pieces and items that sell for only a couple gil on the AH other then that people wont NPC something for 1 gil when they can make way more then that.

True story here, last night I CREATED 1750ish gil from buying things off market board that were priced below npc value. There was probably even more in there, it was just from a couple min browsing. People to busy trying to earn gil off the boards undercutting to the point of it going below npc value. Thanks to them, our world now has 1750ish more gil! lol

If all you do is dungeon spam and you are running out of Gil then the problem lies with you. There are plenty of ways to earn Gil in the open world if you just put in a Liltime away from the dungeons crafting/gathering being the best one. If you look at some of the crafting loggs there are items that take two items to create the sell for a few hundred Gil to NPC vendors. I spent 1 hour yesterday crafting mytheral morters (takes 1 mytheral ingot 1mahogany log to make) and walked away with over 250k Gil not including all the HQ items Im selling in the market.
