Making GIL with Gathering/Synthesis/Items/etc?

[Dragonblanco]

And yeah, I hadn't watched in a bit. That one is very poor quality and too long. I need to remake a gil making guide and shorten it up. Guess let me say.



Step 1:
Check market prices. Often you can buy things from vendors and resell for a profit just because people are in a hurry or don't feel like teleporting around. Some examples of things I've seen priced higher are Quicksilver, Gysahl Green, etc. There's also fish from the fish vendor at Lima Lominsa. In some cases you can buy for as little as 9 gil each from vendors and resell for 40 up to 1,000 gil each.

Step 2
Start gathering jobs, like Botany. There are many items that you can get at lv25 or below which will sell really well. For example, on my server for the longest time we were selling Noble Grapes for 1k each. You could gather them yourself easily but also if you had your retainer set at Botany, they would bring you 30 Noble Grape an hour. In other words, 30,000 gil per hour. At around lv 25, that's not too shabby. That said, there are many things that sell for 200-500 each on a regular basis and where you can get 99+ of those items an hour. That means 20,000-50,000 gil per hour at a minimum just from you getting out there and picking up some rocks, trees, or fruits/vegetables. (then if you have retainers working on hourly stuff, even more!)

Step 3
Learn to craft. You can level up pretty fast, lots of little tricks to it. You'd be shocked how many things you can spend like 10k on materials and then sell the item you crafted for 50-200k.

Step 4
Level up. I mean, gathering gets easier when you have flying mounts at the end of A Realm Reborn. There's also a lot of tricks such as using tomestones and other currency you get from leveling and doing other content. Like I just used my tomestones I earned today to buy some materials that I could then sell on the Market. I was able to get 2 stacks of 99, with them, selling at 920+ gil each. So you can say like 89k+ per stack, or more than 178k per day just from doing dungeons and other content with people.

Step 5
Access content. Sometimes simple things like Palace of the Dead you can enter around level 20 can be nice experience but also reward you with a little gil. For example, I did a run with FC today and at the end we had 14 sacks on a gacha game. I ended up getting 2 Ugly Duckling minions. On my world, those are selling around 90k each. So that was 180k in the time we ran from floors 1-50 of POTD. So whether you're looking at stuff like that, want to level and enter areas like Eureka or Bozja, etc. There's tons of side content you can do that earns you a nice little side of cash.

The Issue on Advice
By time someone tells you specific items to get or things to do, the competition usually skyrockets and prices drop significantly. I've seen items which used to sell for 2k each now only going for like 200 gil each because people kept bringing market lower. So it's always going to be up to you to monitor what is selling and find ways to gather or craft it. While I did give you some very generic and helpful advice for starters, it really is going to take you looking and comparing things yourself.
