Coffee Buscuits on steroids; a gil making method causing housing problems

[MysticSpirit]

There is a gil generating methods named by those who know it - and I'm not even kidding here - Fight Club. Those who know of this method don't want it to become too widespread, and for good reason, because it might get nerfed.

What is the first rule of fight club?

There was a time when 400k per day for a lot of set-up and a specific condition like owning a entire FC + house would have been peanuts. Crafting or even maps were better income and accessible.

It's a symptom of rampant botting and everything being ridiculously easy to make and hardly worth selling that raw gil sources like this are even noticed, never mind being in danger of nerfs. The fact that the scrap gil from leves is actually being nerfed already just shows how bad it is. When you kill off the market board, people have no alternative but to dig into raw gil supplies, which isn't sustainable when everyone does it because gil generation creates inflation.

"doing next to nothing"

Next to nothing is hitting a crafting macro with a sound effect to let you know it finished 18 times for leves and not paying attention to it at all.

Check retainers: 2m (next to nothing)
Getting a map and selling: 5m (next to nothing)
Daily Crafting Beast Tribe: 10m (mostly travel time)
Expert: 15-20m
6 crafting leves: 20m if I've prepped before, 40m if I have to gather everything myself.

57 minutes minimum, 1 Hour 20m otherwise. Lets not pretend that any of that is super time consuming. None of that requires much thought at all. So yeah, it's next to no effort. No timed nodes, no expert crafting.

You don't have to do all of that if you don't want to. Expert Roulette is only 15K of that for in demand.

Or simply make 180 cofee biscuit and turn it to npc, that is 300k gil at least, well i enjoy doing crafting, if you have fun, it will felt like you are not wasting time at all, the only part i dont have fun is the turning in the biscuit to the npc...... my precious biscuit XD

The information has been made available publicly eons ago. Ever heard of memes? Comedy?

it might allevate the housing problem

How badly do you wish to die on that hill?

fight inflation with one stroke.

Delusional. You might want to read on the subject.

very minimal work aside from the setup.

Let's not talk about the upfront cost and the time commitment right?

I mean, I'd consider everything but maybe the crafting leves doing next to nothing. lol Retainers you literally just send them out and wait for them to come back. Snagging the daily map...maybe 5 minutes. Crafting beast tribe quests, roughly the same amount of time. Expert roulette, 10-15 minutes on average. You can probably get most everything else done save the retainer wait while you join the expert queue and then run it. None of them require much effort at all.

"get subs to 90"

Ahahah that alone takes about 4-5 months of effort.

Trust me, I've been grinding them up and my subs are still hovering in the 70s.

1) Gil making methods isn't the reason for people hoarding houses.

2) Gil is essentially worthless for people who don't do housing. It is one of the very few gil sinks we have that actually works.

3) 400k per day is pretty average for people who go hard on making gil. I casually make ~150k a day just by touching a few activities. This isn't as insane or game breaking as you think it is. It is also very well known.

You can earn 100k-200k per hour from gathering already, this method seems like more of a pain than its worth. Sure, one fc maybe, but well, swapping characters etc. every few hours to repeat. Would need to be out of ones mind to keep doing that. And just getting to the point of being able to send sub like this, leveling retainers on ventures is less work :P
