Teleports, repairs, food items, crafting materials, better equipment, decent materia, helping out others in the FC with their stuff. It all adds up. The markets are pretty borked on Balmung. I'm sure if I started off 2.0 with high level crafting and gathering, I'd probably have made a lot more gil, or if I just gathered all the materials myself, etc. But given that I have a limited amount of time to be on, if I want to be even remotely close to the rest of the FC, activity wise, sometimes shortcuts are needed. And the depressed Market Ward doesn't help much.
