Addicted to happiness

Reach cap? How long does it take to reach cap? I've been trying to reach cap for 4 years. Why do you act like reaching cap is so easy. 3 gil caps? is that 3 billion? omg

It, really really depends
You can have some hidden markets, you can get some ultra rare drops, do external services like say, gpose requests or run a thing/work on venues(These generate A LOT if well made) roleplaying and SPECIALLY ERP

Along just comes the enough time to amass

But I agree once reached a certain point gil becomes pretty much useless, I'm sitting at 250M and even I know I won't use more than say, 50 mil on the next 2 years unless I play dumb or go crazy buying mounts I'm too lazy to get(AKA criterion)

I've never tracked how long it takes to reach a gil cap but I know I made around 500mil in a week once.
Just log in as soon as the servers come up after a patch and mass craft new stuff all day, sell everything you loot from new content, don't keep anything, it will be worth nothing in a week, gotta stay ahead of the gil making pack.
I've probably made 1 gil cap solely on the expert crafts used for island stuff since that was first introduced.
Sub parts always sell well, sniping dirt cheap combat materia in preparation for combat craft set patches, pentamelded sets are immune to undercuts, abuse anything that punishes lazy people, abuse dumb undercutters and do smart undercutting, always prepping for a patch is a no brainer.
Then to go sleep and wait for next patch because almost everything gets hyper saturated by week 2.

Enjoy while the rush lasts.

If it works for you, more power to you!

As for me...

I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy you love.

No, but it can buy you a nice evening with a cat girl on Balmung.

Well... I just said money can't buy you love. But you can still rent it.

After your first gil cap you realize its the most useless currency in MMO history, after 3 gil caps you just look for ways to get rid of it, mostly throwing away gifting gil mounts, don't go down that path.

"We scoured the universe, seeking out new civilizations in a quest to find meaning in life. One race valued wealth above all things. They believed gil was equal to happiness. But when they acquired all the gil, and there was nothing left to buy, happiness disappeared. Their wealth had no meaning, and so too did their lives."

Can't blame you. My combined gil totals stand at 3.1 billion from at least 4 years of honest MB sales and it's only getting worse, haha.
