Ways to make Gil?

it was a rare drop from the solo level 50 green map, it became worthless soon after they added it to other content.

Yeah was quite sometime ago but still cashed in on the craze before the price drop.

For all you people who has trouble making gil.
Invest your time into crafting and gathering, I cannot stress this enough.
You do not have to level all the crafters just one.
But it would be helpful it you at least have the cross skills of other crafting class.
Like “Tricks Of The Trade” which is very important for crafting HQ gear.
Also a gathering class that is able to support your crafter in gathering materials is also a huge money safer instead the materials from the market board.

Each day I sell around 250k - 500k of the gear I made with barely spending 20k on materials but depends on how lucky I am with the price costs.
On the weekends I mostly sell 1million +
Since more people are active during the weekends.

Learn your marketboard from your server.
Invest serious time into crafting and gathering and at the end it will reward you really well.

Before I started gathering I pedaled goods from vendors all over with a small mark-up for some pretty easy gil. I still do this with some specific items. You just have to research a bit. You won't be buying a house with the profits anytime soon, but it was okay.

I also hunted for pelts, meats, bones and stuff. The only thing about this was that it wasn't a guarantee drop so it became kind of a chore.

What works for me is materia selling.

I too get bored with crafting...gathering jobs like the fisher and miners, I do find pretty enjoyable though.

But honestly, You can make a pretty good amount of gil by just running high level dungeons, farming VII and VIII grade materia and selling it on the Market Boards. DET, CRIT and DH VIII materia sell for around 40k on my server. It definitely adds up.

Also, if dungeon running is your thing, roll for the minions and ochestrion rolls and hope RNG is on your side. Some of them sell for pretty high amounts.

I send my retainers on quick ventures and sell whatever they bring back. Usually it's only good for pocket change, but once in a while they bring back something valuable. Once they brought me three sets of jet black dye in a single day, that was a nice pile of gil.

How do you turn old gear into GC seals then GC seals into money? I've never heard of this

You must buy craft mats in your GC using seals for it, like Coke for example.

Get as many retainers as possible and spam the hell out of ventures. Its a better form of lottery then golden saucer. Also you get extra MB slots to sell all that stuff.

I haven't touched crafting/gathering yet this expansion, but last expansion I made hundreds of millions of gil as an omnicrafter. Really that is where the most amount of gil is going to be made. Though it is an extreme time investment leveling everything up if you're starting from scratch. If you're just looking for some casual gil I'd at least recommend leveling your gatherers. Even a low level miner can make a million gil an hour selling materials that are required in all kinds of recipes. The omnicrafters rarely gather their own materials I've found instead favoring to buy from the MB in bulk and likewise craft in bulk so in that there is opportunity.
