You can also open a craft and work on desynthing, which is when you break down old gear/some materials/fish for either base components or some rare items. Arguably you can say this isn't a "facet" but at times you can get clear demimateria which is purely for the sake of selling to NPCs for raw gil, so its half-n-half.
Those are both good starts for where to look, thank you!

To speak WoW-ese for a second: Overall, the returns from certain access-level repeatable activities in WoW give "respectable" coin. Not the levels an auction/marketboard baron would call respectable, but the kinds of values where unless you're buying an actual gold sink (the 5m G mount that's available right now, or game time for gold) you're pretty comfortable and not thinking of the day to day expenses like repairs or transportation.

That's kind of what I'm looking for in FFXIV, so I can get over my newly found STARK TERROR of parting with 500 Gil for an apartment. If that 400Gil level 60 MSQ hoard can never be duplicated... well, that kind of sucks.
