Gil problem

[Zetonegi]

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.

Turning in HQs on crafting leves.

I'd tell you, but you'd probably just run right back when the next problem comes up. Figure it out.

dungeon farming is quite profitable atm. The items needed for relics that drop in The Wanderers palace sell well on my server. Also any of the mats you need to buy for allegan tomestones like coke will net you decent gil. Simple mats for crafting seem overpriced right now too, stuff like diremite webs. The trick is to see what the average level of people learning crafts is on your server, find out the popular recipes they'll be exping on and go gather those mats.

Tradecraft Duties can get you a pretty good amount of gil, and you get triple the reward if its high quality.

Is there a use for Allagan tin/bronze/silver other than selling ?

[Caedeia]

If you blew 150k on materials, you should have a high enough craft to pick a HQ synth to profit from. Check out your GC supply/provision requests for an idea. Just don't flood the market and you should have enough for repairs. This sounds less like an inability to make gil, and more like an inability to hold on to it. Farm your own items, at 50 it should be fairly easy. Be conservative with your teleports and strategically place your favored locations.

Making money on the AH is nice and all. But there are so many gold sinks in the game but where is the new gil coming from? Is the only real source of gil once quests are complete leves?

[BubblyBoar]

This is actually a problem. I understand why gil-sinks are in the game, but the number of them makes it so that there's no new incoming source. All the gil is made from other players and it'll get plugged somwhere on the route, making it so gil stops circulating and get consumed thru the gil-sinks. Once all the new gil from quests is consumed, everything is going to get deflated and making money will be a pain.

For all the people who can't imagine where "new gil" comes from, it comes from new players and NPCs.

So what happens when the gil that new players get from NPCs dries up?
