Is The Vault still the king of BLU “gil faucet” trash farms?

[Omedon]

So I’ve been wondering since the blue mage level cap increase if any dungeon from the shadowbringers era has challenged the vault for sheer gil farming efficiency. Yes, I know there are are other ways to use BLU for cash, but I like the guaranteed “faucet” element of farming the first pulls of a dungeon.

I have no idea if dungeons’ gil payouts scale dramatically from expansion to expansion, but if they do, I’d imagine two expansions worth could potentially have a slightly different clear time and still pay out more.

The secret of the vault is of course the population of each trash pull, allowing the per-kill payout to stack quickly, so that counts out a lot of dungeons… heck it seemingly counted out all of stormblood! When I think of “early trash” population, the first dungeon that pops up is Holminster switch, which does have the pull of two bears, but also the big pull of all those mites.

I’m at work and my BLU is only 82 as of this post, so I can’t add much more to the discussion in the way of hard numbers right now, I was just curious if any shadowbringers dungeon has emerged as a challenger to the gil faucet of vault farming. Again, I have no idea if trash pull gil payouts scale, I’m just wondering!

I've no opinion on this, but did try it once. It could have been the most boring experience of my life, and I once had to literally watch paint dry.

One person’s boring is another’s comfortably inevitable activity while watching a movie or listening to a podcast!

Stormblood 8-man treasure maps are good gil for solo BLU.

I mean effort vs reward, GIL farming like this is a complete waste of time.

Some people enjoy their pennies, i also enjoy wasting my time (Hence why i log into this game every single day!)

In the time it takes to earn 1m from blu farming, you could have made 100m with niche market crafting.

Until someone catches on, and undercuts the market to nothing. has happened way to many times for me T_T

Of course "faucet numbers" are always smaller, but they are inevitable and a guarantee of the game so they're more reliable. I respect the idea of effortconomics(tm) truly, but in this case I'll take the guaranteed money almost every time over the gamble of the "free market"...

...Because of precisely this!
