Gil problem

[Marcellus_Cassius]

very true, and believe me I hope they introduce new sources of gill for new players.

Man, it fucking sucks to be worrying about gil for repairs. How fucking ridiculous is that, it's a freaking game after all, the least they can do is not make you worry about stupid shit like repairs.

Excuse my French.

High tier materia, farming mob drops, guild quest items for lazy people, HQ mats.

The market for everything NQ and DOH-able has entirely tanked already.

My new friend to the game always says the reward from some of these quests are essentially enough to cover your teleport fees haha.

IMO people are selling shit at 10X what it's worth. If I can sell it at 10% and make money then people are stupid to buy it at the higher price. I'll flood the market at 10% and farm all my mats.

As long as the market clears at that price (be it high or low), that means the buyer thinks its worth it. It's a trade off between waiting for more supply to flow into the market and paying more to get it faster...so I won't exactly call them stupid.

However, I wish to thank players like you who sells stack of items at such low price which I can re-post it at the market at a much higher price which people are willing to pay for.

Supply on anything you can gather or nq craft is well past demand. I get most of my gear from quests, dungeons, leve chests on the job I'm leveling. What doesn't come from there is a few K from an NPC. I also have an unending supply of pots from random rewards. The only thing I really have to use the market for is decent food.

HQ melded gear can rival some pieces of Darklight though, so there is hope once you get your craft to 50, learn the markets, find material sources etc.

I'm with you. I have a fair bit of funds from 1.0, but I'm already considering just wearing my newbie race clothing for everything but dungeons!

As someone who made three NQ Cobalt Haubergeons in a row before finally making a HQ one for ARM 50 quest. Mother f^&$ing HQ Undyed Felt will make you gil hand over fist.

/most of that gil will be mine.
//could make all my own HQ mats apart from that one....

Your best bet if you haven't leveled a healer up is to max out items, convert them, and sell high tier materia. For a while you'll be able to make some money selling L20+ botany/mining stuff, but don't count on that lasting long. The economy in this game isn't even vaguely well-designed enough to generate consistent revenue, and as more and more people max out classes and train up their DoH/DoL classes that's only going to get worse.

I actually make far more money hiring myself out as a mercenary healer for the level 15-30 dungeons than I do through any other channel. The vast lack of healers pre-30 means that DPS tend to be happy to pay 2k-3k per dungeon run to skip the 1-3 hour queue, and healers are the big bottleneck at lower level right now.

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.
