Post Your Solution For Gil Generation

[Odd]

What if they just removed the degrading function of armor? I know this isn't the only gil sink, but it's by far the biggest one.

Can't you buy dark matter from your grand company?

Yes, but it expensive its 5000 seals for only 5.

We understand that the cost for dark matter when using Grand Company seals is rather high at the moment, and we will be taking a look at the amount of Grand Company seals everyone possess and plan on making it so you can exchange them for dark matter at an appropriate price. This adjustment will be made in patch 2.1.

me personally, to help solve some of the gil problems, just a few suggestions

add dummy items similar to the allagan pieces that can be sold directly to npcs for a decent value, that can be crafted/gathered throughout the leveling process; make it so only normal quality versions of these can be earned: ie GSM/BSM/ARM could make like copper pieces, and sell them for like 20-40 gil, around level 6, and keep going on with higher values as level increases
same thing as above, but add them to all mobs, level appropriate for it too: silver allagain value items off of mobs 45-50
increase the selling value of items to npcs
increase amount of money earned via FATEs
increase money drops itself from mobs
give money rewards for doing actual dungeons in addition to the loot that already drops; and re-work the way money drops are distributed in dungeons

i personally hate to say this one most, but repeatable quests are also a somewhat decent idea for money
just a rough start on ideas

Don't look at how many people possess, look at how many are being generated on a daily basis.

That wouldn't work either simply due to the fact that fates at the moment can net an obscene number of seals way to quick. Fate for an hour and have like 12k+ of them at least.

I just wish there were more things we could use with our Seals once we reach Second [Company name here] Lieutenant, specially in the accessories department. Right now I am sitting on 30k+ Seals and i have no idea what to do with them besides dumping everything on the Chocobo chick with a helmet or lower level items. It is a little disappointing that the only items available at that point are a uniform set (which nobody buys because of Dark Light Gear) and weapons, that again, nobody buy either because they already posses either a Relic or the weapon requirement upgraded with Materia in it.

Using GC to repair merely bypasses gil reduction - it does nothing for gil generation, which is what this thread is about.
