Gil problem

[Stormbad]

Most of you are missing the point. The OP has 8k gil. He is wondering where new gil comes from, not how to make money from other people.

So far we've got

1. Quests - Once you run out then what?
2. Dungeons - Repair cost is higher
3. Fates - Repair cost is higher
4. Leves - Repair cost is higher
5. Mob drops - Vendor sell price does not cover repair cost
6. Make new characters to refarm Quests??????

I've been tping everywhere and have donated some gill to my FC so I'm currently sitting on 35k at level 35. I will be choosing the gil rewards from here on with my story quests and I haven't done any guildhests or sub quests in towns in the game. I will leave those sub quests for my BLM along with the guildhests.

Honest question here because i don't know..

Would having the appropiate DoH (say, armorer for a PLD) and getting the Dark Matters with Grand Company seals be more cost efficient than just repairing at the NPC? Since most of the gripes seem to be coming from repair costs..

Once you have done all your quests you will sit between 200-250k GIL.Repairs on high level gear is damn expensive around 2k-3k for a half broken full set.

With the current situation of huge zergs chasing FATEs around most zones, the easiest way to make money is simply chase FATEs around in a FATE party for a few hours. You'll get a lot of XP that way too, you'll get Grand Company seals you can exchange for gear without spending gil, and you'll get some moderate amount of gil. A person can probably pile up 1,000 gil from FATEs in an hour or so of chasing them around with the zerg.

Don't just buy mats - level a gathering class.

In my very veryyyy personal opinion the reason why this game is so Freaking hard to make cash is bc is so dang easy to lvl a craft or a disciple of the land class and people can farm there own mats easy to me at lease those class should be time consuming class to lvl i seen friends on my ls already 40s on both of this class and they start playing on EA

I really really don't understand this. You don't need to level a crafting/gathering class to make enough gil to get by. If you only wish to lvl DoM/DoW you still need to do the same basic thing as crafters and gatherers. You need to take some time to work out which activities will make you most gil. Just as a crafter needs to see what gear the DoM/DoW will want to buy in order to make a profit, you need to see what mats the crafters will want to buy in order to make some gil. Whacking things with a sword can make you very good money. Diremites drop web which crafters need,sheep drop fleece etc.
Don't expect the gil to come your way as a byproduct of playing your DoM/DoW, the DoH/DoL work at making gil and so must you.

Very good points. I think the hard part for many is that they do not know what and where to farm. It does take a bit of market research and looking online to find out where to get what you decide what you want to farm.

Making money from other players is not an issue. I have been selling materia for plenty. The issue is, once again, where does new gil come from once all the people buying up the stuff on the AH runs out of money.
