This is how I made gil for a big house.

Crafting players get millions and millions of Gil that they never get to spend (because there isn't anything to buy, really), while PvE-focused players sit with their Verity/Poetics.

The purpose of crafted DoM/W gear is catch up.

I already have a house, and more money than I could hope to spend anyway.

How is this possible if crafting is the only way to make money? The methods I gave were for gathering. A guy in my FC has exactly one gathering class leveled to 50 and zero crafting classes, and still makes (or made) a million gil an hr. I, personally, just bought 1.5 mil worth of wind crystals from someone off the MB. SE put many ways in the game for people who don't have high crafters and gatherers. Silver, cobalt, and iron ore, all ARR ore (aka mining level 1 ~ 50) are needed to make ingots in SB. You could make a fortune farming the dust you get as a level 70 FSH. SE does this to help the new player or the ones leveling gatherer/crafter make money while leveling.

There is no get rich quick scheme. They all take time. That's just life. You get as much as you put in. If you don't wish to invest the time then don't complain about it and cry hax.

Materia still sells well? Thought drops from expert dungeons would have crashed market by now.

They still sell well, especially the crafting and gathering materias.

Crafting and gathering materia is always, always a good option to shoot for, if you can. The rest are a bit more iffy -- sell them on reset days. If you can stand to wait, I would store them until 4.2 or sell fewer of them. Like one crafter VI is around 300 ~ 400k on my MB, which sounds a lot, but they can go as high as 1 ~ 2 mil when the demand is high. There isn't as many ways to get crafter/gatherer materia, outside of a few ways (WT, SBing, or luck) since they don't drop in dungeons and you can't buy them with seals.

That would of been true, instead this tier for tanks, crafted accessories were mostly best in slot thank to melding 5 materias, beating out even augmented and savage level gear thanks to their better substats.

And I like that, I hope the next tier will be the same

Tried on Odin, Lich and Phoenix (alll EU) as well and I had no problem in making money (Odin was especially good).

Thanks everyone who's been commenting.

Just a heads up you can use poetics to buy the old lore mats still (they do sell) and you can get G3 soil with poetics which are always used by gardeners.

As for verity, there are verity mats you can buy to sell. Scarlet urushi is a good one to sell. (Sell in pairs)

There is only one currency in the game right now you can’t make money from and that is creation. Other than that check out the vendors you might find something good.

That feel when I have 500 millions gil but can't buy a house because not available on my server. That was a lot of useless crafting/desynthing/hunting.
