There are dozens of ways to earn gil. The most widely used is gathering and crafting. Other ways is farming things in dungeons that are sellable or via msq as you can get gear that you won't use. Many things that you can kill in the open world drop materials that crafters use such as skins, resins, wools etc... The point is to have your retainers full of sellable items and get a flow of income going. You can see what is worth selling by watching your server's marketboard. My suggestion is start by starting a gathering class or two.

That is not as easy as you make it out to be. I've been farming, gathering, crafting and selling all the last 2 weeks to be ready for the housing. I only have just under a mill so far. Got two tail feathers from desynths tonight, but too late to sell sadly.

But yeah it's only easy if bots don't run your MB like they do here in Zalera.

Well yeah, 2 weeks is not nearly enough time to earn 3 to 4 million gil needed to be a private home owner. I mean most were pretty sure the new housing will be coming out with the start of the Ishgard restoration. The official confirmation came out on 8/28/2020 regarding the new wards. Ishgard housing will be coming out too. A whole new housing district. It's always about planning, saving and timing. As I said I wish everyone could get a house this go around, but there will be another opportunity.

I've done 5 mills on MB with 24 hours..
So, it's easy to make 3 mil in 2 weeks.

If they redid the housing system and overhauled it completely.
All this redicolousness would not be needed.

I suggest a redo of the whole thing instead of all those steps just to have a faint sense of a chance to get a plot.

These tips helped my fiance get a house and my buddy get back the Shirogane plot he had when he was playing in a different data center.
Thanks OP.

You're welcome! I got really into housing earlier this year to score my dream plot. What I learned is that housing has a simple rule set that is VERY unforgiving. New wards once a year or so. Camps that are hundreds of hours long for some. I wanted to spread my knowledge around to some folks who don't focus on housing like I do, so they could enjoy the system without all the suffering.

Well..I'm really dissapointed.
I've entered at 00 and faced with 88 ppl trying to logged in.
Ofc all Middle plots wanished at 00, 01 min.

So..I've gor only a small plot .

Hey, it's a relo ticket. With the right luck, you could use it to find something in old wards (my friend left a Shiro 28 for a goblet 45 today) or take your pick from mediums and larges opening when auto-demolition returns. Besides, you can do plenty with a small, in the meantime.
