Hi, new player here. I recently hit level 80 and completed the shadow-bringers quest, but I seem to be stuck because my gear is level 420ish. I am hoping to get some tips on how to earn some gil so I can purchase some gear. The level 80 gear on the market board will cost me 1.5 million gil which is more than I have.

Some background info: I only have one class at 80 (lancer), my hand/land professions are below level 20, the market board on my server is pretty bad atm, and I do not really know anyone (at all) at this time.

I have looked up some guides but thus far the market for stuff purchasable with grand company seals has tanked and the materials for leveling professions are very expensive so I do not see myself being able to level crafting professions.

Should I just give up on making gil and wait for some catch up gear caches when the next expansion releases? I could really use some help here because it is really not fun being stuck at a low item level.
