Making GIL with Gathering/Synthesis/Items/etc?

[Drkdays]

Just do bunny fates in Eureka. You'll make millions in a days, and that's if you don't find a mount to sell.

Also, a good tip for leveling through the game on a new character is to sell on the Market Board the HQ gear you get from quest rewards that you don't necessarily need. Easy money.

Thank you everyone for replying! We're not super far into the game, just got a few quests into Ceorthas, when we decided we needed money and fast. Repairs, food, gyshal greens etc was adding up really fast.

You don't need to be buying food other than really cheap fruit to give you the flat 3% EXP buff.

The potentially cheapest option is alligator pears sold on the marketboard – they're leftovers from a class quest requiring people to gather loads of them looking for HQ ones. So you can often get those selling in big stacks for 1 or 2 gil apiece. If not then the cheapest fixed prices from NPCs are oranges from the culinarians' guild in Limsa (3 gil) or milk from the material suppliers in the main city market halls.


I would also guess that if you're "being prepared" with food, you may also be buying new gear as you level up. You only need to be geared for the content you're currently doing, because you'll be synched back down anyway, and the MSQ will be giving you gear from quests. You also get one piece of gear for your class guaranteed to drop at the end of every dungeon.

And have you unlocked the challenge log? There's a lot of free gil to be had from that.

Yes, mostly we have food from quests, but sometimes it runs out so we buy some cheap stuff from vendors, like raisins or something. I'll check for the alligator pears today. And yes, we finally found where to unlock the challenge log and unlocked it last night. We're gonna do it today as well.
