    Financial questions

    Hello everyone. I haven't played since the month of release and had a few questions about money. When I quit I was pretty rich I thought with 400k, it was nowhere near the highest, but rich for a working man. Now I see RMT retards selling a million for a dollar fifty. Been leveling my crafting skills and I make/collect most of the stuff myself because it usually seems expensive.

    But is money real easy to get now at max level?

    How much do you think the average player has these days?

    Is my 400k just couch change these days and I should spend it to speed up my crafting?

    Around how much is it for a house?

    Thanks for any and all answers, just trying to get an idea where the economy is since I haven't played in over 3 years.

    I get by with simply Desynthing the stuff that I get from dungeons. I Desynth with Goldsmithing, Carpenter, and Leatherworker, and i'm sitting at 17million. I don't purposely try to get gil, because ultimately it's worthless unless you're trying to outfit yourself with the absolute newest crafted gear (for combat, crafting, or gathering) and materia.

    400k really isnt much these days anymore, just take a look at the market board for level 60 gear - thats gonna buy you a sleeve from current gearsets.

    Making money isnt to hard though, not even for someone who hasnt reached HW/endgame yet. Selling certain items you can purchase now with GC-seals can earn you a decent shunk (on my server stuff like arachne webs are going for 50k).
    And once your crafters are up to max level making money is even getting easier.

    Getting a house wont though - mostly because non are available. Other than that the price is ranging from 4 millions (small ones, even the avarage, non-crafting casual player can afford these days) to 80 millions or so on large ones.

    Yea for lot of people 400k is pretty low amount, and gil pretty easy to make if have crafting and gathering leveled. Also I would agree with Klamor gil is pretty worthless unless you buying the latest glamour at patch release or buying your mats for crafting.

    If your crafting is decent the level 50 stuff still sells fairly well furniture wise. Granted I think its mainly cus its so much labor for some stuff that people just say screw it and buy.

    I hate to break it to you, but that was never a large amount.

    your 400k is good enough and will last if you don't plan to invest on ingame housing or spending for the latest glamour at patch launch.

    otherwise, like others said it's not a very large amount and would suggest you level gathering with crafting if you have the time, join a craft/gatherer LS make some friends with your server's crafting/gathering community, get discounts/advice/help and you'll be rich in no time ^^

    Depends on the economy of your server mostly. I can make about 500k with 1k lore, so crafting is just a waste of time, and that's just from doing my daillies.

    The more complicated crafting becomes and more profitable it is, the less people will want the hassle to gather.

    Not as much cash as crafting but a might bit less stressful to keep relative (3 classes to gear rather then what? Seven?). You don't have to own and work a goldmine to get rich man, just sell the shovels!
