Post Your Solution For Gil Generation

[Camisado]

I would suggest an activity such as a levequest or dungeon that is meant entirely for gaining gil and doesn't offer other incentives and can't be spammed. Or perhaps provisioning like quests for monster drops that reward players with gil. I see many suggestions to level up a DoL or DoH class to make gil but where exactly do they make their gil from? Certainly not selling to NPCs, it is from selling to other players. The DoL make gil by selling their harvest to DoH; the DoH make their money selling their wares to everyone but mostly DoW and DoM classes. So if the DoW and DoM classes are the primary gil *generators* then it filters down through everyone else.

People complain about gil, but just look at the market board, more than half of the items I have to sell are selling for 1 gil! Seriously people, you cant complain about not having any money, then when you have a chance to make some, you only sell stuff for a buck, and after taxes you loose money?

the cost on the AH is also driven by npc prices.. if npc for one gil maybe this would help? i say 100 gil min for any npcable item..

Don't drop teleporting costs. They're fine as is. Chocobo Porters are there for a reason. Getting somewhere QUICK costs a non-trivial amount of gil, as it should.

As for dungeons giving gil: Gil rewards based on completion. IE, no deaths; completed in a certain amount of time; did such and such event flawlessly = Extra gil.

I, in no way, condone mass rewards for no reason than that people want it. If you want it, then do something for it. I fully support game mechanics that reward based on achievement. Not blindly giving away gil because people refuse to use porters or level crafts.

If all you want to do is dungeons and complex boss fights. Let me direct you Dark Souls. Part of the complexity of MMOs are how each part of the game tie in, and support each other.

Can't you buy dark matter from your grand company?

Yes, but it expensive its 5000 seals for only 5.

We understand that the cost for dark matter when using Grand Company seals is rather high at the moment, and we will be taking a look at the amount of Grand Company seals everyone possess and plan on making it so you can exchange them for dark matter at an appropriate price. This adjustment will be made in patch 2.1.

me personally, to help solve some of the gil problems, just a few suggestions

add dummy items similar to the allagan pieces that can be sold directly to npcs for a decent value, that can be crafted/gathered throughout the leveling process; make it so only normal quality versions of these can be earned: ie GSM/BSM/ARM could make like copper pieces, and sell them for like 20-40 gil, around level 6, and keep going on with higher values as level increases
same thing as above, but add them to all mobs, level appropriate for it too: silver allagain value items off of mobs 45-50
increase the selling value of items to npcs
increase amount of money earned via FATEs
increase money drops itself from mobs
give money rewards for doing actual dungeons in addition to the loot that already drops; and re-work the way money drops are distributed in dungeons

i personally hate to say this one most, but repeatable quests are also a somewhat decent idea for money
just a rough start on ideas

Don't look at how many people possess, look at how many are being generated on a daily basis.

There isn't an issue if you do thing other then run dungeons

Grade 5 Dark Matter should be 500 seals for 5.

A bounty system for bots and RMT spammers would be a decent gil fountain. Of course, we'd have to insure against RMT knocking each other off for the rewards. Then again...

Honestly just have an event or something that go kill whatever and get decent rewards, because at on Excalibur the market is completely and utterly ruined, mates going down in price and final product going up. Along with that new players level 1 class then are keeping their gil and not putting it back into the market because of this housing system to be upcoming.

Now this idea will have a ton of community outlash but how about square just sells gil for money. It helps them out, it helps the game out and it gets rid of gil sellers. Perfect solution if you ask me, but you will have all the hardcore grinders QQ that it is not fair players with money win again while I have to farm, well get over it, it is just life. Sure there will be some inflation in game because of more gil, but honestly this is the best thing that could happen.
