Where are the hardcoded (non-MB) gold "faucets" in FFXIV?

Ultimately, it's not difficult to accumulate gil so long as you don't spend gil. And outside of teleport costs, there's little, if any, need to spend gil.

Gil is mainly for vanity items, housing related things, and convenience purchases. You should never need to buy gear from either vendors or the market board for gil just to hit an ilvl requirement.

Also remember that, like in pretty much every other MMO, if you aren't max level yet, then you aren't making the most gil/gold/credits/XXXcurrency that you can. But if you're expect something like WoW's 2000 gold emissary quests of 5000 gold island expedition missions, you're not going to find those here. The closest thing to that is the weekly Doman Enclave turn in that will get you 40,000 gil a week.

It's possible to have enough gil to buy an apartment before hitting Heavensward story content, but if you arent playing the market, that will probably severely deplete your gil and you'll need time to accumulate more to furnish it.
