What Is A Good Way Of *making* Gil?

I've done a search, and i've looked at a few threads, and i'm after some more up to date information on the best to *make* gil.

I already know a good few methods that I can farm/fish/craft/brew and make 1~2M+ per day but this generally needs to be sold on to other players. By make I mean, the best way to generate gil from game, not by simply getting players to shift their gil from them to me.

Since SE have nerfed the "cruor to gil" ratio are there any other good gil generators? I know Dark rings are still 30k+ but somedays that just sucks with poor luck. Also, I prefer generating gil as we don't then have to undercut people, and you don't generally have to worry about your 'Secret method' as usually everyone can get involved and it doesn't interfere with others doing it.

I sometimes sell my booty to the vendors for a HIGH price

Hakuryu.

General ways of pulling gil from npc's generally are pretty pitiful for the gil/time compared to making it from people.

Chocobo digging, fishing, HELM, questing (think avatar fights), gardening, betting on the chocobo races, VW > npc, afore mentioned dark rings > npc, etc.

Just do what Angierus said.

Pretend to be a girl.

Thankfully, there are very few ways to do this, and those that do exist get gimped fast.

Chest items in Aby are still your best bet for this, but time / reward isn't as good as other methods.

Advice is appreciated.

I'm aware that Delve > Airlixir selling is the current money spinner, but as noted that is merely shifting gil between players.

Also, I have been burning through delve quite consistently this last couple of weeks, and a change of scenery that I can pick up/put down and not need others for would be nice.

Ah well, i enjoyed fishing once... maybe it's time to dig out the Lu Shang's

Ill say ur full of it to say ur making 10-25mil a day from airlixers u would have to sell 3-8 stacks of +1 to do this that's 90k-240k plasm.a day or 20-30nms counting nq ones also and taking them all for urself without splitting with anyone .even with no competition on the easy nms this would be hard to do

Im making around 10m myself

Some people have multi chars derp

This is CLEARLY the route to take. Guys give me free stuff all the time!

At the very worst you make 5k plasm a run which is 2 +1s that is 300k on my server.

So 600k x3 chars is 1.8m per 45 mins

I do 10 runs a day. How much am I making? lol

This game is easy dont call *** if you dont understand it

Dom Ops Points into Gusarme and then NPC those. Probably the best way to extract gil from the NPC's.

You can still do that? lol

Plasm farming sounds insane. I thought I was making good gil at 20m a week Chocobo digging before I quit, which itself took massive patience and many broken keyboards to get high enough to turn a profit.

You can still farm dyna and sell coins. Nice to do if your farming a few pieces of relic gear to fill out your sets. (some of the +2 versions are worthwhile).

If ya shout selling coins for for about 200-500 gil less than the norm, you can burn through them in a minute of shouting.

On Carbuncle, the quick sell price seems to be around 5k (or 4999, if your playing the retail game).

Assuming you farm 150, lil over 700k. But as people mentioned Delve works too.

45 minute run. Assuming 15-30 minutes of standing around before ya go in... we'll just say 1hr.

Assuming you loot 1, +1 Airlixer (250k), and maybe get 1 regular one (50k), your at about 300k

Then figure in 3-10k plasm converted to Airlixers, we'll say 7.5k. That's 3 Airlixers, 750k.

So... Assuming you have a good run, your looking at making 1m a run (my server). But that's pugging into a solid group. Sometimes you get only 3k plasm... which means your looking at more like 500k. (like you get a group who starts endarking the raptor or bad links or other nonsense.)

Personally, I'd do Dyna coins for gil and just blow them out cheap. Less variables to affect your outcome, it's predictable. That and Delve I prefer to use my plasm for gear progression, not gil earning.

(And if you got a good lowman group where you don't share drops with 17 other people, well obviously that'd affect your delve success)

Yesterday I was making 1.3mil per plasm run. Made 7 mil in a few hour window I had to play.

Dark Rings.

33k NPC.

ITT: only one person actually reads the original post

Wisteria Lumber is a decent drop rate from Elder Goobbues in the tree and they vendor for 6.7k each.

Also, keying in worm parties can get you tons of Rasetsu Jinpachis which vendor for 14k each.

Fishing + selling colorless souls, works for me.

Like most manthras on this game

That's why he only gets 5k a run!

Because gil from other players doesn't spend the same as gil that an NPC gives you for something.

To be fair, gil from an npc is guaranteed until SE nerfs it :P Gil from players isn't. From players, you have to go with Supply/Demand, Undercutting and waiting for gil.

Money now > Money later, unless the money later exceeds the money now by a large amount.


EDIT: Also, on topic - you could do the whole "6-9k NM" thing like those in SSG or Altepa gate :D Can NPC Scrolls/Ores/whatever else drops for extra.

It's probably worth noting for anyone that feels like getting into Haks that it takes several hours a day (10+ IIRC) to fish up to fatigue on those things, it takes quite a bit of prep (Sardine Balls or tons of Minnows), and most importantly, it basically requires Ebisu to be worthwhile, which costs an average of like 8-10M or so to obtain (15k Liks and 25k Gugrus means 8M from 0.5% rate)? (if you're unlucky it can cost a lot more)

Basically, just know what you're getting into if you plan on doing Haks, otherwise fishing's pretty humble in terms of gil output- the next best choice for NPCing will give something like 150k-200k a day.

Wrong and you are just mad you made guttler


Go do dyna so i have some currency to buy

I'm gonna say Airlixir+1s are good profit right now like others have. Looking @ about 500k each run/45minutes which isn't too bad. 1m/45minutes if you can dual box whm+pld combo. 3 hours a day & you'll have about 10-20m a week alone.
