New player: how to get gil?

[Seleni]

1.
Would it be possible for me, if need be, to create a single alt and buy "multiples" of this item: https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ff...gb/product/574 and transfere 300.000 gil to my main character?

(do i reallllly have to level this one to lvl 17, enable retainer to get markedboard access for it and post a item on my main character, so that the alt character can buy it (and transfere gil that way?.... edit... dang... ..seems you can only do this once per character...)

It’s not possible to transfer stuff/gil directly between characters on the same account. I’m not sure if you can buy stuff listed by characters from the same account though.

If you absolutely don’t want to do any hunts/leve/crafting/gathering, you could buy One Hero’s Journey (https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ff...s/category/7/2 ) for a different DoW/DoM job (that you don’t current have at/above lv 70) to use on your current character. It’s more expensive at $25, but it gives you 50 allagan platinum pieces. There’s no need to create an alt.

Are there any other fast and legit ways to get gil?
(not playing the game/farming, but stuff i can buy with irl money and convert it into gil ingame somehow).

It depends how you define fast and your server economy, but some low level mats/crafted gear sell for nice profit on marketboard. You can level a crafter to lv15 relatively fast using just vendor materials.
