    Buy cheap stuff from the marketboard. Get a single crafting class to level 30. Learn how to desynth. Pick which classes you want to level up in desynth. Go into dungeons unsync'd for that type of gear and desynth them.

    It takes effort, if you're actually willing to, to level up desynthing, but on days I'm active enough in dungeons, I get a good bit of goldsmith/leatherworker gear, which I just break down and then sell the mats on the MB. I'm sitting on 110,000,000+ gil right now from desynthing, and the occasional Level 70 party maps with friends.

    If they hunt a lot or warp around a lot, then the teleportation fees would add up quickly compared to how much they get per hour. It's better to just attack the Halgai and Manzasiri in and farm it for an hour, but that still might be too much effort.

    That sounds like they would be doing that already even if they didn't bother with retainers?

    You just have to go back once an hour using return or free destination. If you are doing roulettes/PF just sit at the bell and check when you get out.

    Farming is good if you have a lot of time but the ventures you can literally just afk at the bell do other stuff IRL and come back to send them out.

    The easiest gil maker, if you want to stick purely to battle jobs and never ever touch a single DoH/DoL job, is the Challenge Log. It should be enough to cover your teleport fees on a weekly basis if you're not that active. Speaking of teleport fees, you can buy Aetheryte Tickets with hunt seals, so they pay for themselves.

    Alternatively, go treasure hunting. Dragonskin maps for level 60+ parties, and Gazelleskin maps for level 70. Without DoL classes, you won't be able to gather your own, but you can buy them off others, or just join parties that people are making, explain that you don't have a map of your own, and don't roll on loot from other peoples' maps. Each treasure chest gives, at minimum, 3k gil or so, and it only goes up from there.

    You will get one of these maps each week for turning in 9 items of Wonderous Tails.
