End Game- What is considered a lot of Gil?

[OoglieBooglie]

I am seriously having trouble making gil on Bryhildr.(sitting at 2.5 mil atm and most of that was made from selling old materia I had stored up.) I main BLM and only recently started a miner class. I prefer not to get into crafting if at all possible. With my IRL job, I don't have enough time to raid and also craft unfortunately. Anyone have some tips for making a consistent 5-10 mil or so with out crafting?

Honestly I really want to grab me a ZU mount when it is put up on market, but I know it is gonna sell for around 50 mil. XD

Hey, I'm a main black mage on bryn too! Miner is pretty decent for getting money, but it's not exactly fast. While it may only take a bit under 10 minutes to mine a stack of materials, you really need to sell a lot of the stuff to make a lot of money. You can combine gathering with spiritbonding, but that reduces your stats because you're not going to be spiritbonding endgame gear. The reduced stats usually aren't a problem though, unless you want to hit the lvl 60 1 star nodes or something, which won't happen without endgame/melded gear.

From your lodestone profile, your miner is lvl 21. That's still pretty low, but that also happens to be at about the level when you can finally mine something that sells for more than a couple gil and isn't shards. If I remember right, the alumen nodes are unlocked at lvl 21 in eastern thanalan, between drybone and highbridge. You could also try silver ore and efferverscent water in south shroud, but that might be at lvl 26, I forget. However, these things are still only like 200ish to maybe 500ish gil normally I think, although silver ore is usually the highest of the 3 I think. The really big money for gathering is in the endgame unspoiled nodes. The first unspoiled nodes are accessible you get the truth of mountains/forests skill on miner and/or botanist, which is a couple levels before lvl 50 if I remember right. You've got a long way to go to get to the just released endgame nodes though, since you need like 720 gathering to have any chance at all to get it, if I remember right.
