    Making gil is almost impossible on most servers

    Every time I look on the market board these days I am reminded of our fail economy on Sargantas..... People always undercutting everything they can, people buying gil so they can get a house. It is every time the housing prices drop the prices on everything drops with it..... SE was supposed to drop the value of everything by a 10th and i know for a fact that is incorrect. In 1.0 I used to craft silver rings or bronze rings to an NPC for a profit (all of the mats were bought from an NPC also) now the same rings that I sold for 300-1200 each I'm getting 10-30 gil each.... that is way more than a 10th. SE has made all crafts useless all gathering useless and yet they make the housing prices insanely high..... So I would like to know from the community and SE "How are we supposed to make gil?" Are we supposed to sell runs like COILs runs or Titan runs to make gil, or does SE want as many people to buy gil so we can all get banned for it?

    Sell ems or hms? That's the real commodity that's valuable atm, not crafted stuff.

    A gil press is the worst thing for the economy. Thankfully they fixed that.

    I'm still making gil, but not at any sort of impressive rate. I sort of tread water because I make some gil, then spend on it something frivolous. If I spent a little more time focused on making gil, I'd probably see my gil total increase a bit more.

    And yet, I manage to make several hundred thousand gil a week with only a couple of hours work and knowing what sells well.
    No, I'm not going to share my secret with you but crafting/gathering is far from useless.

    Anyway, apart from repairs and teleports there is absolutely no need, at all to carry large amounts of gil around.
    From that perspective, the game vomits gil at you with dailies, treasure hunts and dungeons, that alone is enough to sustain you and have gil left for other things.

    Blame bots :| or either people making to much. I thought of this idea though Make a new character do leves i recommend something like crafting leves with 3/3 make hq stuff your gil gets doubled and just sell things on market place.
    Buy on your alt, don't know if thats illegal or not but not like i'm botting just making alt and doing those things thought it help me to gain some gil and i do craft things on the side on my main sometime it will sit there for awhile until somebody wants to buy it.

    Sense no one can read this line very well I guess I'll point it out to you. So therefor what does this line mean? Does it mean that if I can make 200 or 300k a week ill get a house in a year or 2? A few hundred thousand gil a week is to low if you look at housing prices. Pretty much what I am saying which after seeing the responses I have had more than likely 90% of you are ones that do this is that everytime the "housing" prices drop so does everything else. I was selling lvl 4 materia and now it is worthless because everyone else started doing it and lowered the hell out of the prices. Went from like 30k to 3k in a few days and is not going back up. And I will also say this, anyone that has an FC full of people that dont know how to make gil and they believe the same way all the repliers have and they have a large or medium house you proble had someone that bought gil to get your house... they did not fix anything when they went from 1.0 to 2.0.... they made the game look better and play better but at the same time they made everything easier to do. To bad we can't lose the item that we are melding too anymore. spending millions on 1 thing to get it melded and crap it broke so now i have to start all over on melds. stuff like that kept crafters and gathers making gil. also not everyone could craft and gather. it was harder to hq took longer to lvl and gathering was a pain. I lvled miner to 25 in 1.0 and fisher to 18.

    Seconded. Know where to look. Identify any big players in your server's crafting community and manipulate your market. Buy out everyone and sell inflated.

    Or even less involved than that, just look around. Things sell. I've almost single-handedly supplied my FC's current housing fund.

    Another stupid thread. You are not buying a personal house, they are FC houses. They are not designed for an individual to afford. Also, I personally still turn roughly 1-1.5 mil a week on the market boards. You can only ride the same items for a very short time, people start to flood, then that item tanks. The trick is that when that happens the bot's stop farming other items and their prices go up. There are many, many profitable items on the market board and about 30% of my weekly income is from crafting so look around and be willing to put some effort in and you can make lots of money. If you don't want to put the effort in, sorry about your luck.

    It's actually pretty impossible NOT to make gil on most servers.

    Run dungeons, do your dailies, harvest treasure maps.
