Ways to make Gil?

[RyuSaarva]

ask anyone on there if you don't believe me? I have people in my former FC sitting on 100 mil or more. Gil is a non issue unless you buy everything and don't farm.

great so a bunch of bankers made their own fc, most players don't have anywhere near your fortune.

For all you people who has trouble making gil.
Invest your time into crafting and gathering, I cannot stress this enough.
You do not have to level all the crafters just one.
But it would be helpful it you at least have the cross skills of other crafting class.
Like “Tricks Of The Trade” which is very important for crafting HQ gear.
Also a gathering class that is able to support your crafter in gathering materials is also a huge money safer instead the materials from the market board.

Each day I sell around 250k - 500k of the gear I made with barely spending 20k on materials but depends on how lucky I am with the price costs.
On the weekends I mostly sell 1million +
Since more people are active during the weekends.

Learn your marketboard from your server.
Invest serious time into crafting and gathering and at the end it will reward you really well.

Before I started gathering I pedaled goods from vendors all over with a small mark-up for some pretty easy gil. I still do this with some specific items. You just have to research a bit. You won't be buying a house with the profits anytime soon, but it was okay.

I also hunted for pelts, meats, bones and stuff. The only thing about this was that it wasn't a guarantee drop so it became kind of a chore.

Honestly, anyone who's been playing for a few years and isn't wasteful with their gil should easily have over 50 million gil without even trying.

Take this post here as an example of such a player:

I have almost 70mil and a medium house, and I'm not a crafter. Nor do I capitalize on early time mat or gathering sales either. Maps and roulettes are most of my fortune.


The bump to roulette adv in need bonuses during heavensward and stormblood made getting gil ridiculously easy.

In my own case, I stopped trying to make gil 4 years ago. I still have more than 100 million more than I had at the time I stopped putting effort into it. I do gather and craft, but only casually and for myself and friend. I don't intentionally do either for the purpose of selling them. The only time I put things up for sale on the MB is to make room in my inventory. I don't care what the price is and will aggressively undercut anyone who gets in my way. Drop the price by 100k or more? Don't mind if I do. The exception is when things are worth so little they aren't even worth listing, in which case I just discard or vendor them.

And no, I don't play a ton. I routinely unsubscribe to the game, for 3-6 months at a time sometimes.

What works for me is materia selling.

I too get bored with crafting...gathering jobs like the fisher and miners, I do find pretty enjoyable though.

But honestly, You can make a pretty good amount of gil by just running high level dungeons, farming VII and VIII grade materia and selling it on the Market Boards. DET, CRIT and DH VIII materia sell for around 40k on my server. It definitely adds up.

Also, if dungeon running is your thing, roll for the minions and ochestrion rolls and hope RNG is on your side. Some of them sell for pretty high amounts.

I send my retainers on quick ventures and sell whatever they bring back. Usually it's only good for pocket change, but once in a while they bring back something valuable. Once they brought me three sets of jet black dye in a single day, that was a nice pile of gil.

The game throws money at you for doing almost any activity. Just don't be wasteful and almost anything, even stuff that seems worthless, can be turned into money.

Turn old gear into GC seals and GC seals into money.

How do you turn old gear into GC seals then GC seals into money? I've never heard of this.

And to answer the OP, search the markboard for deals on good looking glamour gear. Buy them and sell for a higher but reasonable price.
Also, partner up with someone. One of you be the crafter. The other be the gatherer. This will allow both of you to level your jobs faster and start selling the stuff players really want.

You must buy craft mats in your GC using seals for it, like Coke for example.

Get as many retainers as possible and spam the hell out of ventures. Its a better form of lottery then golden saucer. Also you get extra MB slots to sell all that stuff.
