    Those are vendor prices. Money into the game, not transfer.

    You might be right but we'll have to wait for the economy to stabilize before SE makes any decision about upping gil generation.

    You don't want to farm? Tough shit. I don't either, but I also don't want to be broke with broke gear and gathering is part of the game.
    How long does it take to make a stack worth 4950? I will add this to the list if it is not a major time sink, as the majority of players will not or cannot give the much time and still enjoy the game.

    I can't say for sure because I'm not 50 yet, but I can give you an idea.

    I ate food that increased gathering and farmed exactly as long as it lasted, 30 min.

    During that time I got ~175 regular ores and ~30 high quality. I'm not sure what the high quality sells for. Let's say the high quality compensates for what you would have got without the food and call it 2 stacks.

    I was a level or two over, but my gear was lagging so the rate would have been about the same at level with level appropriate gear.

    Based on that I can guess at 10k every 30 min., which isn't bad with people saying a raid repair bill is around 500gil.

    But that is just my best guess. You would need to ask a level 50 miner in level 50 gear to be sure.

    I can't recall if it was Stone Vigil, Wanderer's Palace, or Aurum Vale, but I think they drop some allaghan silver pieces for a few party members. Each one of those sells for 500.

    Although by no means ultra sexy, Amdapor Keep can drop up to 2800 gil in bronze pieces (about 700 per person per run). But if people are ignoring these, then that gil never enters the economy.

    I suspect all this was mentioned somewhere already. Restricting this post to only gil generation.

    The best way to make money is mining I feel. Anyone can do it, hell I even found a picture of a Lalafell miner.
