Gil problem

[Pexx]

Don't see how bad it is yet. Sitting at 250k, but haven't bought anything other than a stack of gysahl greens, the minions and some food. But I always opt for the money reward items in quests, do FATEs when I can, dungeons and leves... helps to not die a lot as well.

It sounds like you NEVER chose the money reward for a quest, which... Honestly I choose that 90% of the time.

How on earth do you only have 8k?

I'm level 31 who teleports all the time, and I have 30k +

My only advice is... if you've been dropping gil on gear and stuff, don't... you get all you need from quests.

Im not going to poopoo your situation OP. I understand how it feels to be poor. (In my case its real life as opposed to in game teehee)

Anywho, Lets give the game a little more than a week and maybe even until after 2.1 patch before we worry about the economy. There are many many things that are and will be commodities as the game progresses. Furthermore when you add housing and additional content.

But in my opinion, what keeps me grounded about the money situation is its current effect on RMTs. Look at how hard they are working to get our attention. I dont think people are biting. Also, look at the prices. They are steep. I believe the time it takes for a player to make 10k and the fun involved in that process , is not a deterrent enough foe people to buy the steep rmt prices.

I think the economy looks bullish ^^

good luck making money unless your a lv50 crafter with 255+ control.

if yout not money will be slow selling mats, people undercutting everything to the extreme.

didn't you get the /tell & /shouts of 10k for only 5 dollar? everyone must be rich by now.

Because spamming my chat log totally makes me more willing to buy from them. I currently have 150k gil, almost all of it from quests. Once i'm done with the story, there are no quests left so I'll just focus on non-combat classes to get some more money.

I was on 2.5 mil at start of release, im now on 5.1 mil just from selling Craftsmenship tier II and III materia. Really glad I hoarded every bit of materia I got from 1.0.

Still got 300 IVs and 400 IIIs cracked material left Wont be selling any more as the rest is for my gear sets, just glad I doubled my gil in launch week.

(Asking this here because my main isn't high enough to create a thread, and 1017 won't let me into the game to level... well played Square. Well played.)

Anyway, a lot of people are saying you can get Gil by making items and selling them on the auction house.. and i get that, usually the best way to get Gil; It only transfers Gil already in the system though.

Does anyone know what bring the majority of Gil into the system? As in, if someone just wanted to collect raw Gil without playing the auction house, what activity would bring in a sizable amount of Gil into their pocket? It just seems that once quests are done, the game doesn't really give you much Gil at all through any of the activities.

Leve quests, if all other quests are done.

Crafting stuff and selling it wont make you much gil. The economy in mmo's sucks, you will be undercut until the item is worthless. I tried fishing but nothings sells and what does sell has been undercut. Mazlaya Marlin are the only fish that is worth farming.

Everything is possible if you know how.
I bought a Moth-eaten Seneschal Coatee for 500 gil, upgraded it to a Vintage Seneschal Coatee HQ and sold it for 25k gil.
I think your problem is that you tried to get gil with Fisher.
