Something needs to be done about the state of Gil in FF14

[Adeacia]

I've been getting gil little by little over time while making no attempt to gain any. I only have around 8.1 mil or so but I don't need more since I never use it on anything. Gil may be hard/easy to make, but gil itself has no real use anyway.

I have almost 5 mill gil and all I've done are roulettes. You can gain around 100k a day just from that.

Or... Hear me out... You can level crafters yourself. I made my own food and gear for the tier at the start. No ones paying 200 mil for gear lol, and if they are, well, that's on them.


Anyone spending that much gil on a mansion is just validating scalpers.

And even then, you are talking about the minority of the minority. 99.9% of players have nothing to do with any of this

You do not have time to craft if your static is alarm clocking. I'm talking about HC statics. 200M is also the standard for early delivery (2 hours after patch is live). You're commenting on something you know nothing about for some reason. I've actually worked for the world second team this tier so I know what is reasonable compensation.

It indeed doesn't make any sense, but it is what it is. Must be that entitlement thing. You know "I put effort into this convoluted sh*tstain of a system (which I macroed into oblivion, and still do, but it's ok since it's for my benefit), and now everyone can do it with relative ease and zero frustration. This is, of course, wrong and crazy."

Also, botting has always been rampant since nothing is done about it, least of all anything that would discourage people from continuing to do it. Those "action taken against" thing means less than nothing and are there just to keep dissenters quiet. You just gotta think of the savings!

Botting has gotten *more* rampant over time. It's actually at an insane level now. 90% of the market board is filled with undercutting bots.

You gotta be very lazy to be dirt poor in the game, even doing roulettes is an easy 100k, and a little more if you do the in-need jobs.

[MilkieTea]

If you're constantly under 100k, you've got more problems lmao.

I made a huge mistake and spent all my 20mil gil when the new glam top came out, thinking it would sell like hotcakes but be really expensive, so I wanted to nab it first. (My mistake, I already know I thought wrong lmao) However, before that, all I'd done to make that 20mil was my daily roulettes nearly every day for a year, as well as passively selling stuff on the MB, and only checking when I logged in and when I logged out. If I so chose, I could easily make that much again within a couple months of spamming roulettes and passively selling, as well as tack on top some treasure hunts. (Made about 700k off of treasure hunts the first time I did them, took about 2 hours)

By your own admission you've stated Materia... The number 1 bandwagon every person has jumped on as your source of income.

This is low effort. You aren't serious about making money. You aren't even considering what else is out there, be it crafting materials, minions, armour or consumables.

Money is there to be made.

The people above who are all saying that gil is easy to obtain probably think 1M a day is some big number LOL

Back in Heavensward/Stormblood you could make 600M in a week for Savage tiers.

Ironworks crafter set and Heavy Metal crafted set were going for like 1-3M per piece during content drought. Compare that to what we have now, the equivalent of which is 30k crafted rings.

So yeah, gil has gotten harder to obtain.

The people who are shaming you, OP, are probably not that good at making gil in the first place, don't worry.

It's pretty easy to make 1 mil gil a day if you do your research and learn how to play the market game.
