    The issue is the weekly Gratuity limit, which for many completion-oriented players like myself creates a rather steep goal. There are multiple ways to acquire enough items to sell to hit the weekly limit, but they're either very grind-y or quite expensive. The Gratuity limit should be significantly lower, or should be in addition to a clearly-defined advancement process that eliminates the sense of this being a 'goal'.
    I think your missing the made to be sold items completely, the limit is very low.
    desynth some stuff and stock up the clear demimataria, send retainers on the 1 day ventures that bring back coins, spend like 20 minutes in eureka, etc etc

    I'll admit I forgot about Retainer Ventures. I typically do Quick Ventures; you're right, the Allagan pieces would make this somewhat feasible, albeit again, as I said, at substantial cost: Quick Ventures bring in far more Gil, because they routinely bring back valuable items for the MB (this is likely the route I'll take). Desynthing is possible; I'm curious, do you know of a particularly easy source for them? Desynths don't tend to give them very reliably, and for the tier II or III demimateria, the items required don't have trivial ingredient requirements. Considering one would need to desynth significant quantities of them, this is pretty burdensome.

    Yes. What activities do you do that net more than this? I'm honestly curious if there are any, beyond Eureka. The vast majority of items either don't sell for more than peanuts to Vendors, or sell for far more on the Market Board.

    Please consider this from a non-Eureka point of view, for the sake of argument. I realize Eureka might be the only efficient route here. Are people honestly finding it easy and inexpensive to accomplish 20k in Vendor sales in a week?

    Can't say I have had reason to count the gil I get from vendoring items until now. I can tell you though I easily reached 20k within a day just from retainer quick exploration ventures. I wasn't even trying to do it fast, it just happened. If you have gatherer retainers, high level crafting and high level desynth on crafters, it would be stupidly easy.

    If you do the high floors of POTD you'll easily hit the weekly cap from selling the weapons from the accursed hoard sacks.

    EDIT: just now my two retainers brought back gear that sells for over 1k gil to vendors. No effort on my part at all.
