From my experience Axia I have no seen any leve, fate or dungeon that has given me more in gil then I put in to do both in costs of repairs and and or mats to make a hq item.

I am legacy and I have try many routes and many ways aside from just the market to make gil.

Aside from farming in crap gear that is easy to repair or fighting naked will be about the only way your going to make a + on gil

That or make a trash alt that you transfer funds after they hit 50, but if I and many of us thought that we could make money at level 50 in normal means we would not be here talking about this issue.

As it stands new gil is so small reward wise that compared to normal wear and tear of playing in gear that you should be playing in at your level that its imbalanced.

I also remember when they use to give out dark matter for repairs or you could gather it as a miner or botanist my only conclusion is they trying to bleed us all dry to kill the game yet again?
