Sooo...Question...

It's just fun sometimes.

Also those times when I've literally spent all but maybe 200 gil. A few months ago I had bought something, and I went to teleport out of my neighborhood when suddenly "not enough gil" pops up. I freaked out for a while; borrowed some gil from a friend for a little while.

Well, no, it has no real drawbacks to being thrown in given the main source of travel(teleporting). It just seems really pointless in the grand scheme of things. It's just there. Would I prefer them not adding the route? I'd prefer it have more meaning than what it does now, if that makes sense.

I'll take an airship if it's right near me just to save 200 or 300gil.

But I won't go out of my way to take one.

Before I hit level 50 I would take airships and run / chocobo almost everywhere. It was my way to get into a saving money mindset.
Even now I try to think about the most cost-effective way to do just about anything.
I think that's why I was able to save so much gil. Just being careful about spending. Even the little things.

Have to start somewhere.

Penny pinching? In this game? When you can make easy gil daily? I mean, that seems very...odd.



So you take the Airship. Attune. Then never take it again cause you can teleport.

Well if you'd like to share your 'easy gil' strategies I'm all ears.

Fishing literally takes zero effort to level and capitalize on. Once high enough, you can fish up a Dragonskin Map. You can sell it for gil to captilize on Aquapolis farmers. That's one example of making gil daily.

Step 1: level tank
Step 2: do roulettes
Step 3: Profit (approximately 100k gil)

Option 2:
Step 1: Level Botanist
Step 2: Hit trees
Step 3: Profit

How much gil would you be saving?

All of it. If you set your Home point to Limsa, you can get anywhere for free. Return for getting to Limsa, airships to Gold Saucer are free, airships from Gold Saucer to Ul'dah are free, the continent can be crossed on foot.

Takes a lot of time though, tbh. Wouldn't recommend it if you highly value your time.

I don't, so I'm generally content running around like a pleb. Plus I like to keep an eye out for any noobs struggling along the way. And sometimes you can even spot the bots grinding away.

Lol, both options you listed done. Maybe server makes a difference. The profit I got from leveling tank, leveling, lancer/dragoon, cutting trees, leveling carpenter making things, selling, got me about 400k in a week. I don't know maybe I'm just used to getting millions in seconds on other mmo's, not used to this market quite yet.

Airships have saved my ass getting home when i made a major impulse buy and couldn't afford to teleport back.
