This doesn't work all the time but its amazing how much money you can make by just browsing the Market Wards for underpriced items, buying them and flipping them for 100's of k in profit.
Having a large stock of a variety of items that turn over quickly is also another great way to make gil. Inevitably supply will run out for one of the sought after consumables and you sell at a large profit.
Great example: fleece was up to 2.5k EACH on my server the other day. A stack of sheepskin is 99k from NPC, turns into 3 stacks of fleece, that's like 643k profit.
For that matter, checking my server now, sheepskin is selling on the wards for 2.5k EACH. People! Its 1k from NPC! So, just buy a stack for 99k and flip it for 250k. 2 minutes of work for 150k profit. Not sure who buys this stuff.
The trick is that each one of these small ways to make money will never work consistently because of supply and demand. But if you keep 20 or so in your pocket there's almost always one or two where supply has run out and you can make a quick profit for little work. Just takes some upfront investment in learning the market and where to get your mats for the cheapest.
Right now people are paying crazy amounts for dated gear... maybe because its going U/U in 2.0 Alot of it you can still make (its a pain I know) and get some great gil. Or just sell dated stuff you don't use anymore.
O I never added how I make money.
Well try to get a luminary gathering item. You will end up making a few painful million.

I only 6,000 more fish away ~!
Mine for cobalt ore. That sells really fast. Also, make steel ingots with iron ore and bomb ash. If you don't feel like mining, then look at different items and see what sells, then farm for it. On my server, Ahriman Wings sell pretty fast for a good price. But yeah, it really depends on what sells and for how much. Make sure to pop into the Atomos events whenever you can to see if people are fighting it so you can try to loot some over-aspect crystals, which sell pretty well.
Crafting the items that people spiritbond with is actually pretty profitible. The items seem cheap, but the cost to make them is minimal. People pay 20k for rubellite rings, when all the items to make them can be obtained from goldsmith leves while leveling GSM from 40-50, and you get gil while you're doing this too. I"m 47GSM and I've made at least a few dozen rubellite rings off of the rewarded materials from levequests. That's a pretty decent chunk of gil.
I always hear crafting, I never touched a crafting class as u can see in my sig all i have ever done is leves they do 2 things for me atleast i got all my jobs from lv.1-50 just from soloing leves and i'm up to about 8M just form leve rewards. I know alot of ppl will say 8M isn't alot but when u consider im just doing the leves for lv.ling up and not gil, getting 8M in gill on the side is a good amount i think
gil from leves is steady, but slow. Honestly people shouldn't ignore the crafting classes, they are classes in their own right and are actually used in gameplay content i.e. hamlet defense. Besides that, you can easily make money while leveling them up- not just by using them after leveling them.I always hear crafting, I never touched a crafting class as u can see in my sig all i have ever done is leves they do 2 things for me atleast i got all my jobs from lv.1-50 just from soloing leves and i'm up to about 8M just form leve rewards.
