SE doesn't set the gil price, though. That's entirely up to the players and the market.

There is no BoE tradable entry level raid gear, attunment keys, difficult to get sockets/augments, no spiffy items with special effects, no skill advancement after the level up.
But there's crafted raid gear which is either entry level or possibly above, and socketing materia makes a HUGE difference in your character's potency.
