End Game- What is considered a lot of Gil?

[Callback]

How do people make that much? That's an insane amount.

Crafting has cost me a hell of a lot more than it makes, and that's WITH doing all the gathering myself.

It is not really that hard. It just takes dedication to it.
I get to play an average 2.5 hrs per day (both DoW and DoH time). Since Heavenwards dropped, I have made enough to have 3 mil on hand, donated 25 mil to my FC (our future House), spent easily 12-15 mil on levelling and gear for DoH & DoL (not BiS but I can 2**), 5 mil iLevel jumping new FC members, and have about 2 mil on the board at the moment.


There are copious ways to earn money. I personally do it by the volume approach. Several, easy/cheap/fast to make items with very high MB turn over. Since I have "limited" playing time, there are several days in which my retainers are not really selling anything and I have difficulty gathering from timed nodes.


Yes, crafting costs, but if you set aside time each crafting session to producing products for MB, you will see those costs easily offset. There are very few HQ finished products that do not sell for at least 3x the materials cost. Another approach I use, is putting myself in the PF looking for work, the client buys the mats and tips me 10-30K for the work. The client is happy because he got a full set for less than 1/2 the MB price, I am happy because I made X gil for 10-15 minutes of work.
