Furnishings

[Vrankyl]

Most of the stuff that is priced for 300k or more generally requires a pain to get mat. Whether that is a script mat, dungeon mat, or a timed node mat they are things people have to go out of their way to get which does inflate the cost more. In addition a good portion of those are also Master craft furnishings, meaning someone has had to get to level 70 and churn out a lot of yellow scripts to get their master craft books. If you wish to craft your own a few pieces of advice, one Carpenter is hardly the only crafter that makers furniture. While it makes the most out of all the crafting classes, other classes have some pretty on demand ones as well. In addition if you want to unlock all of the furnishing recipes you are going to want to level all the crafting classes to at least lvl 50 to get their cross classes so you are able to deal with collectibles to get yellow scripts.

Pretty much everything that I'm seeing for over 300,000. I am a brand new level 70. I don't have millions of gil. I currently have 67,497 gil. I also don't see a way to just walk out and find 1 million gil. So it's time for me to just stop questing and build up some crafting skills so that I can try to get people to buy stuff from me for a super high price.

You could (should!) easily have a few millions of gil at that point. I know I had obtained a couple of millions of gil by level 70 - mostly just from quest and challenge rewards, and selling some minor stuff I had got as drops.
It is all a matter of not spending gil needlessly - and there is very little you actually need to spend gil on while leveling.

But I say again - lots of furniture can be obtained cheaply from NPC vendors. Lots can be crafted easily - and making your own housing items is a good reason to level crafters.

I also recommend levelling up your free retainers if you haven't. Quick ventures have a chance to not only bring back rare furnishings, but also rare mats and rare items that can be sold for gil.

I bought a lot from the npc merchant, but he's got a very basic collection... It did get some stuff in my room though.

I haven't spent that much gil. If I hadn't spent a dime, I would have had at most 1 million gil at this point. I haven't done much but get to lvl 70 and complete 7.0 MSQ. I haven't done many dungeons above what was required to reach that goal. Now that I'm there, I'm exploring other parts of the game- specifically crafting. I've bought a room, obviously, some gear at key spots in my leveling career, and a few other things. 1 mil goes pretty quickly and that's all I've gotten from MSQs and required duties.

But... I'll craft and sell. I'll gather also. Furnishings are out of reach for now. I've accepted that. I'll revisit that when I make my millions.

So what I'm seeing is that because long time players have no way to spend their money, new players like myself can only see furniture as end game stuff. It's fine. I can learn from this. It'll be much faster for me to max out carpentry than it will be for me to get all these untold riches that long time players have. So I'm leveling up my crafting skills.

Just invest in some map groups, can literally make millions of gil a day doing that

If it's not from Event my furnishings. Its all been crafted by me. Most time crafting items yourself is way cheaper than buying then from MB if they not item sold by a npc. Think that's only reason leveled all my gathering and crafting to max. Good way to make gil just do stormblood hunts and level gathering. Some mats sell really fast.

Black Pegasus says hi, young Padawan.

25mil on Cactuar right now.

So crafting has value. So there are drops you can get excited about, even if you don't want the item for your own use. Gil making is a playstyle all its own and purely cosmetic pieces are a great place to have expensive vanity pieces precisely because they don't prevent you from playing the game. FFXIV is pretty light on gil sinks to begin with.

If you don't want to pay a high price for a piece and don't wish to craft it yourself, you can probably just wait until it's no longer the new hotness. Just make sure that you don't wait too long if its source is fad content that will see a sharp decrease in participation rates after an expansion ends.

The Night Pegasus Whistle is also quite possibly the most expensive item in the game other than a medium or large housing plot. It's incredibly cheap for a top end item compared to other games and very obtainable if people simply put the effort in.

Dodo mount think selling for way more than it is Night Pegasus. Last dodo mount saw on market board was 20mil and night Pegasus 12 mil.

The reason i asked which items you felt were too expensive was so that i could look at those items and either tell you why theyre priced that way or that you are indeed correct and someone is trying to rip you off. There are quite a few different ways to get furnishings, and not everyone knows every source(which can lead to some price gouging). There are people who make their money taking common vendor items and relisting them on the market for a big profit, and im happy to tear their business model apart by telling you who sells something for cheap(if the success of your business model depends on your customers being ignorant then you deserve to fail even though you often wont). Other people take common easy crafts and list them for a lot, and im happy to tell you a recipe so you can gather the materials and get someone to put it together for you cheaply(crafting for yourself is another fine option - its what i do). But some items are super annoying, rare, hard to get, or all 3 - and the furniture they make is almost always high priced as well. Explaining that a specific furnishing selling for 10 million uses more then 8 million in materials takes some of the sting out of that pricing(and might give you an idea of another way to make money).
