How much gil do you have on you?

[Dyne_Fellpool]

I think I have around 600k. It varies between 500k and 800k, but I've never had 1mil.

Out of curiosity, why do people keep some gil on their retainers? I've seen several ppl mention doing this, but to my knowledge you cant lose gil thats kept on your person by dying or anything else. Why bank it?

I have almost every craft 3 star and I'm sitting at 1.1m gil right now, it fluctuates depending on what I sell, but the problem is that I don't craft enough things to sell, I usually just give things away to people...

I don't understand how people have money issues in this game, I make around 100k per day just running random dungeons and stuff when I get bored.

100k per day on just dungeons? Wow I'd be a billionaire if that were true. =D

Myth mats + Philo mats + GC Seal items > more Philo items + Roulette bonus
It really isn't too difficult.
Finishing the Ixali Beast Tribe Quests alone yields you around 50 Oaknots which can directly be turned into Philo mats, which are 3-5k per mat on most servers.

Last year around November I think? There was talk of an RMT scare. Something about them hacking the servers to steal players gil if said player had it on their character, via packet re-routing or something like that. Suppossivly gil stored on retainers were safe. I dunno if this was true or not but its the only reason I can think of.

For me it's a mental thing, I don't view it constantly so I don't spend it.

75k ish, it fluctuates depending. The majority of my money all went into a FC house totaling close to 2 mil and other bits of money went to help my son get new gear as he leveled and other random useless crap that I have nothing to show for anymore.

[Adler]

About 3.5 million but if I start to truly work on making gil it will be much more.

[Velox]

Sitting on 2.1 million currently. My highest was 4 mil which was blown on Novus upgrade.

I plan on making some nice gil come 2.4 when everyone and their grandmother is trying to level NIN and will be looking for healers and tanks :3

If you do all roulettes you can get 100k easy.
To saeedaisspecial question - I keep most of my gil on retainer when I save up for something (like saving for a house). So I have retainer holding bank and the rest of gil is for buying stuff at market board and repairs.
