How to make Gil without Crafting

[magnanimousCynic]

They are right; without crafting or gathering you won't make Gil easily. Despite that, there's still some decent methods that I sometimes use. The key thing to remember is ALWAYS CHECK THE PRICES ON THE MARKET BOARD. Something that sold for 40k today could be worth 15k tomorrow. Use your wishlist to monitor the items you are selling and don't invest all of your time/effort into one item.

• Run PotD 51-100. The big earners here are the Grade V Materia from Potsherds and Iron Sacks, though some of the glamour items sell about 10k each on my server (Gilgamesh). If you have 3 friends that are able to, consider running 101+ for the better rewards. The Night Pegasus Whistle from 151-200 can easily sell for millions, possibly tens of millions, if your server's market board isn't full of them.

• A Realm Reborn Beast Tribes. Doing the 3rd tier of quests for each ARR Beast Tribe (Amalj'aa, Sahagins, Kobolds, Sylphs) nets you up to 12 Grade IV combat Materia a day. Again, check server prices for the best choices. Red Materia is a safe bet most of the time.

• Exchange GC seals for items. Crafting materials can be great if the MB is low on supply. Great choices in general are Raziqsand, Emery, Raziqsap x9 (x9 because most recipes use 9 at a time), Borax x9, Scheelite, Arachne Web, and Dubbin. As always, check the prices to make sure you're making the most Gil. Use this link for a handy list of all GC items and their prices. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...3c97a/?type=cs

• Exchange FC seals for Magicked Broom Sticks. Obviously this one only works if you have an FC and people in the FC are fine with you spending the credits.

That's all the big ones I can think of for now. But if you really want to make consistent money then consider leveling BTN or MIN to 60. Gatherers take much less Gil and time to level than Crafters do (Only need to level one gatherer to be effective VS all 8 crafters). Even at base 60 with Blue Scrip gear, which is easy to obtain, you can make consistent money daily by mining maps or selling in-demand materials.
