Why are houses so expensive :(

[CuteWhisper]

I saved enough gils by selling everything my retainers got back and mats that dropped from mobs. Look at the MB and get stacks of whatever sells for more that you can farm by killing mobs.

Logging into Odin, the same server as you btw, Weaver grade 5 glamour crystals are going for 14k. You can make 100k within a day if you undercut between activities. It's basically free money as you can make your battle class retainer get the mats. You only need to level to 50 and some leveling gear equipped (recipe is level 30), which also opens up a lot of other crafting options like I described on the first page. Just get a glamour class to 50 (anything but CUL), that's literally all it takes to make gil for no additional effort.

I also recommend trying to make a Dragonskin map party. They are very profitable now that we have Aquapolis and you might even catch a few minions (to sell?).

EDIT. As I was making some furniture I saw how much they were selling for: 200k+ for low level furniture made of vendor materials. Take a look in the Housing section of your crafting log to see what you can make. Even CUL has some pretty nice looking meals to place in a house.

Not sure how you struggling to afford a small house. A member of my FC has saved enough for a small house by just doing storyline and selling gear rewards. My son has also just hit 53 first time round and already has 1.3 mill. Gil is really easy to come by and stockpile, the problem you are having is how you spend it.

Btw my son doesnt live with me and only plays once a fortnight.

I'm on the Odin sever a lot of stuff is over priced like a level sword for glad is 18k on are server lol. So I'm really careful with my money. I have never been able to hit 1 mil.

I spend alot of money on stuff that I can't gather for cooking since my BST is only level 16.

Because there are no real gilsinks? Even the content that is supposed to be a gildsink, gets flipped to accumulate more gil.

Black, ill give this up cause its no secret. Tier V materia is expensive ish depending on what you have, i think it would be good for your situation,
Do the new 3.3 patch 24 man raid, once per week youll automatically earn a machi matter before exiting the dungeon, guaranteed, not loot dependent.

Take the matter to the goblin on top of the wood stairs near the ildyshire teleport, get a free V materia from him, and sell it for 100k once a week. Check prices on mb before picking.

P.s. Married with two teenage/adult girls, fulltime job as well, the drama is real. You can find time for yourself and fun and still get your ff gil on.

Besides the generally entitled and uncalled-for condescending attitude, I thought one part in particular was especially amusing.

May of been inactive for a year which is because I moved to Japan. Had to sort my life out. Get a full time job. I'm 31 not a student I do not live at home with perants. I'm not at uni studying. I'm an English teacher in Japan in an elementary school. But before I became inactive I had saved 457,679 Gill. Since you went and looked at my profile noisey I might as well tell you everything so you have the full facts.

Yeah, of course you are lmao.

"I have no time" "I have no time" "I have no time" "I have no time" "I have no time"
You remember that is FFXIV? YES, MMORPG! Time consuming genre!
The genre does not have to adapt to you, you have to adecuarte the genre

[RayneLittlewinkle]

3 mil for a home is cheap. But there is other ways to obtain Gil OP. Before I as even level 60 o had 2mil in the bank simply cause sold -everything-

Also if you are into the beast tribe dailes they give you materia IV to sell on the MB, depending on your server one of those can range from 11k-30k. I am sorry op... but there is many ways to make Gil

But even of you did have the Gil it doesn't matter especially of your server housing got ate up in under 10 minutes like they did on mine.so now I'm just sitting on the Gil I worked so hard to save up for one.

[Felis]

Depends what server your on. House prices are in three world tiers depending on how much gil is on that server.

"were", not "are"
Since 3.3 the initial prices are the same on all servers.
Naturally those, who had the lowest initial prices before 3.3, are now a bit higher.

There are enouh ways to earn gil with battle content. Challenge Log, materias from beastmen quests, element materias IV from spirit boundings, materia V from 24 man raid, crafting mats from lv60 dungeons, and so on.
Just don't be too shy to sell stuff.

I'm an English teacher in Japan in an elementary school.

I feel sorry for your students and their perants who pay their tuition!

Jokes aside, the easiest way to make money is to level up your retainers and send them on Ventures. Watch the market board, be diligent with your listings, and you could make 100k+ a day easily.
