    Gill earnings!

    So, now that we have had the new Patch for a little bit, I was wondering how gil acquisition has been coming. Now that we have more ways to acquire gil like:

    Gil from dungeon trash mobs
    Gil from Duty Roulette rewards
    Gil from Beast Tribe Daily quests
    Gil from Treasure Map(?)

    And those are just the fountains in the game. There is also the redistribution of wealth type gil earners.

    Gil from selling new mats from new mobs
    Gil from selling mats from increased tomestone acquisition
    Gil from increased frequency of dungeon runs (now that exp is higher, new ones, HM)

    Now all I'm asking is, whats the difference between how much gil you could earn in a day pre 2.1 and post 2.1. Hoping to hear from people who have been activly trying to maximize gil earning before and after.

    Curious about your input. Thanks!

    PS: This thread has nothing to do with housing prices. I want to try and keep that out of it if possible.

    All I know is that I find it a straight out mockery to reward a lvl 30 fate with 62 Gil.

    This one is a good way to earn gil but it seems to reward mostly to Tank players since most of the bonuses are towards Tanks and Healers get the bonus sometimes. DD is given hardly any chance.

    I'm averaging about 40k a day from roulette and dungeons and then about 50k a day from the AH. I have a few DoH and all DoL but they are below lv. 20.

    We hope to be able to buy a house within a few months with a plan and contributions from everyone in the guild.

    They gave out free t4 materia and made t3 and t4 much much easier to get, meaning the prices of them tanked. also they lowered the HQ rewards for repeatable leaves and greatly increased the drop rate of farmable crafting loot (skins, webs etc.) sure they added a static amount of gil from dungeons.. but they killed off several trade markets.

    i just spent 250-300k leveling carpenter to 50 to get byregot's blessing to HQ gear to use for spirit bonding for materia to sell and i paid for it by farming mobs, now my farming source is gone, as well as the materia.

    The sad thing is, now the beast tribes daily quests are dropping crafting items that will become cheaper than the Market prices. The high level maps are dropping HQ upper tier items (Twinthread HQ for example). So markets for everything are slowly going down. We're pretty much just better off grinding dungeons for gil, sell allagan pieces. I don't know why SE decided to give Materia away like this, it hurt the market greatly on Balmung but least Materia can blow up and be lost so people will need more down the road once this influx is gone. Which luckily enough people are enjoying PvP and the gear can be melded.

    Eventually the materia prices will stabilize after a couple weeks when everyone has done the quests to get their tier 4 materia. As of right now, pretty much everyone who did the quest put it up for sale.

    I had about 120k before the patch, I'm sitting at like 180k now. With repairing and buying ~30 buttons in a blanket I've made a decent bit from the quests and dungeons. At least I'll end out slightly on top after repair fees instead of breaking even now.

    How are people earning more gil from dungeons? duty roulette gave me a whopping 750 gil. and the mobs inside didnt give me anything more than usual. what is different?
