To all you rich players... How did you do it?

[Rocond]

Just play the game a long time. Do everything the game has to offer. You end up rich with nothing to spend gil on anyway.

[SomeRandomHuman]

Flip items that brainless players put up for less than their vendor sale value. Can't tell you how many thousand gill I bought from buying worthless materia off the market board and reselling it to vendors for 100-200 gil profit a piece. Can't do that much anymore though.

[Sarynth]

You have btn and min leveled so gardening could be a possibility. Most of the gil I made (sitting on 14m atm) was actually from garbage from eureka lockboxes or crafting and selling cheaper housing items.

Constantly have something on the market board. Even if it's just a bit of profit, it's something.

I see something I want on the market board and start doing roulettes as a tank to get the extra gil and those cracked clusters and trade them in for materia. Then I transmute them and hope to get crafting and/or gathering materia. When I do I sell that materia on the market board. Eventually I get enough money to buy the thing I want. Then I lose all of the money I got to buy that thing. But it’s okay! I have a bunch of allagan pieces on one of my retainers. So..... Technically I’m not a rich player.

I feel like "rich" in this game could be defined as having enough to buy a large house with money to spare.

The bulk of my money came from selling materia right after a new raid patch, with the rest coming from sales of glam items or mats that are easier to get then the bulk of the populace seems to think.

If you're able to have time off from other commitments during the week of a major patch, you can sell newly added items for up to 50x normal value by being early since people pay massively more to be first. A few weeks later the same items may have settled at just 2% of their starting value in the most extreme cases. Those patch week windows of opportunity are insane and put a lot of pressure on rushing.

I've been playing for about 4-5 months and have 50 million just doing roulette, dungeons, raids, trials and nothing else. I have no crafting jobs leveled. I only spend gil on raid consumables so I don't need much to survive. So you can just do those daily roulette and make a lot of gil. If you want to be filthy rich with like 300 million or more, a lot of those players either craft or have been playing for a long time.

[Zukissa]

Honestly it just randomly builds up over time just doing daily roulettes, trials, beast quests etc.

If you have the crafting level and get lucky on the MB you can literally buy the mats, make an item and sell it for more than the combined total cost of all the mats used. Unlimited money provided demand is there.
