Gil faucets: What am I missing?

[Omedon]

Levequests are probably the biggest source of easy gil at 9-11K a pop from the level 90 CUL/ALC leves.

If you'd like something a little more...involved, soloing SB treasure maps with BLU is also good since you can pawn off some of the drops for a fairly decent price on top of the raw gil.

Two questions here:

1) Didn’t leve payouts get nerfed, or is 9-11k (still awesome) a current, post-nerf value?

2) I have capped blue mage but I don’t know Jack about treasure maps. As a 90 Omni crafter/gatherer and capped blue mage, are SB maps a wholly solo thing?
