lack of gils is not serious problem

[Crimson-Falcon]

just use your mind a little

learn a crafting class

craft easy things that can be used to craft equipments ( not equipments itself ) like leathers from leatherworker and sell them

i have managed to gain over 70k gils while im still lv27 leatherworker within 3 days

lack of mats needed to craft them buy them from market you will get all mats with half the price of actual thing you will sell

also when making a price try to be cheapest or 2nd cheapest

also sell them by 10 for each transaction unless its pretty cheap and doesnt exceed 5000 gil in each transaction unless its a very rare mat

most ppl try to save gils so dont expect anyone to buy 99 from a mat that its average cost 200+ gils

hope this helps

That's right, it not who is the richest person or how much Gils you have in the game, but sooner or later you will run out of Gils. Why? Because there is hardly anyway to earn a huge amount of money in the game. If you arre just crafting and selling it on the Market Place, you are just taking money from players when selling it. So less money being introduce to the economy, so it does not matter if you have millions, it soon will be diminish.

Plural gil is gil not gils.

[Iskander]

With using the market, its not a matter of gil coming into the economy, but taking it out via taxes while only money is exchanging hands. It is not generating gil. Your wealth goes up while another goes down. Also, even with the cumulative gil from FATEs and Leves and such, you also have to look at individual generation. You could have 500,000 gil come into the economy in moments, but if players only made 200 ea. then it won't really matter. But I guess you're not educated enough to understand or care as long as your own pockets are lined.

If people do not generate gil on an individual level to both cover their costs and earn a positive income, the prices shall eventually deflate as those buying your product will eventually not have enough gil to purchase your product. You will have to lower your prices often in order to sell. I can chalk up a small scale example if need be.

I have a lack of gils.

This is a huge problem when you're a fish like me.

You're right, the lack of an organ to allow me to breathe underwater isn't a serious problem because I circumvent that problem by using scuba equipment. On a serious note, unless you're on a legacy world, you can't really comment on the state of the economy because no where is near as bad as it is on these.

The situation has improved considerably with SE dropping the price of repairs and dark matter recently. But Yoshi still considers it a problem, though a less acute problem. He discussed in his recent interview the kinds of things they plan to do to further stabilize the economy. Now, where *is* that link?

Ah, there it is...

craft and sell on AH = tax cut on top of price for buyer, and tax cut out of your profit = taking gil out of game. Yes, you increased your gil in your pocket, but this is not adding anything into the server economy.

More and more people are doing this and gil is being shifted and coming out of the economy faster than it enters, and with things like housing (huge gil sink) around the corner, repairs (better now), and lack of income once you hit 50, this will only in time prove to be problematic. SE clearly has a plan, and will adjust things as needed in the future, but simply saying i can make money selling basic things as a low level crafter, you can to does not help the problem.

The plural of gil is gil, not "gils."

Anyone in any of the FF games will say things like "You have 34566 gil." not "You have 34566 gils."
