Can 3.0 give us ways to make money without being a zombie?

[tocsin]

I must respectfully disagree with you.

Its so painfully easy to make money, even off just running dungeons and selling the mats that comes out of it, that there is a huge deficit of gil supply to demand already. A good portion of us literally have millions, and no way to spend it. We need more gil sinks, not more gil fountains.

Also, as far as "boring" goes, its very subjective. I find studying moves for primals to be boring, but I find crafting to be fun and rewarding. I'm sorry if you cant find any way to make money that is fun for you, but that is personal, not a flaw of the game itself.

TL;DR this game has too much gil already, we need less, not more.

The first half of your response tells me you didnt bother reading everything or you just skimmed over it. Again, I'm not asking for easy ways to make money. I'm asking for ways to make money that isnt dull.

spiritbonding and crafting isn't dull. I have a large amount of fun with it, more so than I ever do as battle classes.

Honestly, you don't need gil for a majority of battle content as it is. Plenty of people get by with just what they get from dungeons and such.

Think of it this way. Adventurers have, in fantasy, been nomads who only travel with what they have, and a small coin purse to get them by. The people with riches, even in fantasy worlds, are people who settle down and do the "dull" tasks, like running shops and crafting armors. Making money is stereotypically a dull task. If its fun, then why are you being paid for it? People pay for other people to do things they DON'T want to do themselves.

You dont find those 2 boring? Then what the hell are you doing that I'm not? Genuinely curious.

spiritbonding: Go as a group. Put other people in your spiritbonding armor, and pay them to wear it and give you the materia afterwards. 7 people, 5 sets, that's 385 pieces of materia to gain in a little more than an hour. Also, when doing it as a group, make a game out of it. My SB group has a drinking game that we play, where each time someone messes up a pull, they take a shot.

Crafting: I use a lot of my crafting to test out different rotations. Try specifically screwing it up halfway, and then try to save the craft. also, crafting as a group, to make communal items, helps a lot. I have 2 people make horn glue, then I make plywood, and we split the mastercraft profits.

Hope it helps!

"we"? I must strongly disagree. Must agree with OP, you didn't read his/her main intention and you're kinda boasting your fortune.
