From farming.

Remember all those post a few weeks ago about them being broke. That Gil went mostly to other players. Then you also sold Philosophy items to crafters. You can quite easily make enough gil doing all that.

You should not expect dinging 50 and then just be able to buy the currently best crafted items from currency you just got while leveling up.
