How much gil does the *average* player have?

[Xanros]

On avg I have about 120k-200k in hand. Retainers are anywhere from 70k to 200k before spending spree or FC donations.

I'd say the average player on non legacy would have < 500k and on legacy maybe < 1mil? I'm sat at quite a bit since I could make about 1mil per day from crafting but I didn't really play much after I capped all my classes with relics & DL so about 1.5 months doing nothing. After 2.1 it's gone pretty bad for making that kind of money now since market is flooded with pretty much anything now a days.

I hope they make crafting more profitable eventually with newer updates since 2.1 basically had nothing at all(housing LOL for who?!). Looking forward to 2.2 I gues and hope they put more craftable items in game.

I had around 4mil before 2.1 from selling materia. Materia market crashed(thanks SE...) and now I only have 400k to 500k on average.

[Cegiana]

Not a crafter in either 1.0-1.23b nor 2.0-2.1, so none of my gil comes from crafting. When they announced we would be losing 90% of our gil during the transition from 1.23b to 2.0, I went on a shopping spree in 1.23b to use up most of my gil and barely had 3 million when the servers went offline, so I started with around 600K in 2.0 (many items were automatically converted in gil cause they don't exist anymore so I got some extra gil from that.) I have 18 characters on my server (3 service accounts, 6 characters on each) so it cost a fortune to get them all lvl50 +1 gear/accessories/weapons for each character when the game first came out (wish I had waited, since everything I paid a fortune for is now like 2K, I was basically spending every gil earned to gear these damn mules. lol) Now I'm sitting on about 5.2~ million, would have been more but when they announced that we would have to bend over and smile to own FC house on the Aegis server, I decided to just spend a lot of my gil buying unnecessary crap like all 4 coliseum pieces for all my female characters (no way is any of my male characters gonna wear any coliseum gear...ever...,) so now it's just around 5.2~ million. Gonna ease up on throwing away gil and now I'm gonna wait until SE gets off their high horse and makes FC what they promised it would be, affordable by 3 people who saved the gil from going lvl1-50. Not this 50 people kick in 1 million to get a small FC house and some furnishings b.s. we currently have to go through...

Well, this tread is making me feel better about my 1.5m

[Black91CRX]

I think the average player has less than 100k. If most people were running around with 500k+ then 8 mil wouldn't be crap for a small FC to come up with for housing.

[Syrellaris]

i have around 700k on retainer and around 80k in hand. Though not anymore, I spend around 50k last night haha.

[Miyenne]

Well, as a very tight FC of only 9 active people, 7 being 50s, we're just about to clear 7 million in the bank, I'll put us at 8 million with what we hold back for ourselves. Myself, if I took back what I'd put in the bank it would be about 4-5 million. But that's because I craft and gather and study the market and have only been working part time. (None of us are Legacy players.)

And we're still well out of reach of housing, despite being richer than most everyone it seems.

[Syrellaris]

Out of reach for housing? 7 million gets you a small house, which is fine for a FC of 9 people.

We want a house, not a closet. We're not even considering small an option.
