Turns out it was that braid one, its adorable and I wish I remembered their name so I could thank them again after seeing this vid >.
Well honestly the amount of money you can make are pretty insane if you check some of the more popular guides and keep HQ'ing the DoH/DoL gear or leve turn in items those guides use. Players have obsurd amounts of money in this game. Now with all the new sprouts coming in.... seriously was sitting down around the armorer in Limsa earlier just making a few gearpieces for a friend and couldn't hear the awesome strings of Limsa because there was so many sprouts clinking on their anvils. xD
@@magnuscarlsson9969 The main problem is in order to quickly level your crafters...you need a large chunk of gil...which the person looking for a guide for doesn't have...so it's kind of a viscious cycle.
@@magnuscarlsson9969 I picked up all the gathering/crafting professions. Smithing, Armor Smithing, Gold Smithing and Mining all kind of work together. But I took Logging/Botany too. This way you aren't reliant on the market. If you are willing to get your own materials? It means you stand to make more money. You can sell lumber and ingots for a decent price. I went from about 400,000 to 600,000 gil. I can reliably get about 76k gil if I list things on the market. almost have all my crafters/gathers to about 30-40 or so. My blacksmithing is a bit behind
@@luketfer Nah the main benefit is that you can level crafting very cost efficiently if you don't rush things. I've noticed that most players who rush the DoH jobs are the people who quite recently hit 80. So if you keep things at a resonable price, you can earn alot of gil just HQ crafting DoL/DoH gear and levequest items... while leveling your own DoH and DoL classes. So instead of making stuff to turn in yourself, you just make some extra stuff and level up naturally.
Yeah I earned most of my Gil leveling up healing classes in roulette early on. Getting the tank mounts however pushed me into the "do this game even have money?" category, since you keep getting(even if reduced) quite a decent chunk of Gil. But then again I've noticed that you probably could do it way quicker just being a good working bee beating on rocky surfaces and selling the ore(wood works aswell and depending on server it might be more profitable), especially mythril or silver since It's required in massive amounts and players do buy it when they try to rush the DoH classes-
People also sleep on the challenge log. Many of these are super easy/fast, and if you hit the next reward threshold it's a bonus 10k on top of that. Desynth 5 items? 2k gil. Just grab 5 cheap fish and click desynth all. Just a few seconds. Craft 30 items can be similarly super fast for 1k, since they can be the cheap ones. Likewise, if you're gonna be afk for a bit, just grab a stack of a low-level, one-item recipe and quick synth all. You'll probably have 20 hq items by the end, and that's 2k. Right there, that's 3/5 to the next 10k. Killing stuff in the world? Have your chocobo out. You'll get 1k at 20 enemies. 2k at 100 enemies. (On top of chocobo xp). And all that together has your 10k bonus from the challenge log, plus 8k for the entries. 18k weekly, most of it relatively passive. Just gotta actually bring your chocobo out as you play.
Really? I've never done the lvl roulette cus it seemed like a waist doing a lvl 16 dungeon at 50+. Just finished ARR so I've been spamming the main scenario for poetics and the exp was insane so I figured the leveling one was pointless.
Thank you zepla. Its so refreshing to see the FFXIV talk about this..whenever i ask someone,i always get the response "No im not telling you my secrets to make gil" its so annoying lmao
I'm a brand new player, playing for two weeks now, and I just want to thank you. You have taught me so much! If it wasn't for you, I would have made so many mistakes. Again, thank you.
I love it when my level 50 retainer would bring me back Ifrit weapons (when that was harder) I would be like "I gotta get 8 jerks together and kill this guy and my retainer just spanked him and got a weapon"
Hey I'm kind of new returning to the game, does your retainer have to be a war class to bring back weapons and stuff like that, or can it be a miner or botanist?
similarly, since you're mentioning bozja, Eureka - either the bunny chests through Pagos/Pyros/Hydatos have mounts that can sell for 10-20 mil each, or cold/hot/moisture warped lockboxes with rarer bardings, emotes, hairstyles. Or NMs that drop expensive items like Crab/Cassie in Pagos, or the 3 magicite NMs in Pyros and Hydatos, selling ranging between 100k to 20 mil
A really great way to save on gil, and thus keep a steadier supply of profits, is doing hunts for allied seals. Spend them on aetheryte tickets so that you don't to spend money on teleporting.
I just started playing ~1 month ago, so I don't have as much experience, but this was the best ffxiv guide/content I've found yet. Thank you so much for the clear and easy to understand information! :) Subbing for sure
Great guide, thanks! Yeah I have been using 4 retainers for a long time and it's my main source of income and I have like 30mill gil. Not a ton but plenty that I don't need to worry about gil. And I mainly use GC seals to purchase ventures.
Hello Everyone! Zepla goes over making gil really nicely! So thank you for that! The other ways I also make gil is to do Wonderous tails every week. You have a choice to either getting a map or just getting a flat 10,000 gil item that you can sell. Though, some of the tokens you get from getting 2 or 3 different lines(Think of bingo!) You can buy some items that aren't market prohibited, I personally don't do that, mainly because I love running maps and currently do map parties every week. Other ways I also make some gil are: Roulettes(If you run a few every day, you can get a good chuck around 10,000+k depending on a few circumstances), Company seals after buying a few ventures to send those lovely retainers out and buying a few items as either vendor candy since I don't like playing the markets. Always check how much something sells for if you sell it to a vendor by themselves you will be surprised how much something is, Doman enclave turn in- now maxed out you can get 40k each week from turning in items though I mainly turn in those gold pieces I get from retainers when I send them out for exploration(18h one) because you do get a 200% bonus( when maxed out) So you don't have to give too many of them, Hunts do give some good pocket change- The ARR and HW hunts also give the hunt credits that you can then buy items that you can sell, turn in, or what I like to do is buy free teleport tickets to save on those teleports! -Just a little bit of what I can think of on the top of my head without crafting or gathering at the moment. I hope everyone is doing well :)
Rich and Zepla have the most compatible senses of humour; they both crack cheesy puns and innuendo. Seeing them on stream together more in future is going to be a treat.... their synergy on the transmog competition was great
Hunt Trains in Shadowbringers is a good way to make fast gil, each A Rank gives craked stella cluster + Nuts + Allegory, cluster can be exchange for materia and that sells quick for a good amount, Allegory can be traded for Workbench Sand or Aluminum Ore that also sells quick and a fair amount, and the nuts can also be exchanged for materia assuming you don't crypt augmentation gear
Me a new player only listening: Her saying to sell coke: Me: Me: “the drug?” Me: rewinds Me: ok so there not a drug market in FF14 but I was ready to do it, I was ready
very great vid Zepla =) only things i could possibly add is for people to just do their hunts. challenge log entries, daily roulettes, utilize their GC seals to sell crafting mat an or housing items, Fetes in ishgard, or even offer up some of their ingame currencies/resources (this is an ok method not illegal or against terms of service) to other players who want specific materials or items that are tradeable using said currencies/resources i.e. [tomestones, beast tribe, gemstones, etc.]
Crafting and gathering is all I do as my WHM skills have deteriorated due to the needs of having a toddler. So I love this guide as it means less competition at the market board.
Expanding on the primal drops a bit, consider holding onto the materials if that boss doesn't have crafted weapons yet. Crafted versions of boss weapons have unique visual effects and are worth millions whenever released, with the materials being just as valuable. New ones can show up with new patches and aren't advertised before launch, so checking in on that as soon as possible could net you huge profits if you have a stockpile of materials waiting to be sold. The only problem is that you'd be waiting an indefinite amount of time, since there are no rules or schedules to dictate what bosses get weapons at what time; some might take years (like Zurvan) but others might show up when the fight is still fairly current (like Hades.) With patience though, it's one of the easiest ways to make bank.
One thing I've always done is donate to the Doman Enclave. When you max it out, your donations are worth double the gil, so any Allagan Silver Pieces and such you may have lying around, that's a great place to get rid of them. Also, every time I do a higher-level dungeon, I roll on ALL the loot, and then go sell it afterward. That gil adds up pretty fast.
It’d be really cool to see an updated mount list and how to get them! As a mount collector and farmer myself, and your video really being the only one out there, i’d love to see a comprehensive updated list. Great video!
my retainers love bringing back coeurl bikini tops. idk what they're doing when i send them out but the tops sell for like 300kish so im not complaining
I think of scenarios where they either mugged somebody or broke into someone's house. You can imagine my fear when K'lyshka brought me a Heavy Darklight Armor piece that made me think, "ooh no...there's a naked PLD, DRK or WAR out there. I better hide." 🤣
@@sunayocarissime5309 I feel that. My retainers have an obsession with housing stuff, especially rooftops & bathtubs. I'm always like: how the frick do you even transport that? 🤣
For treasure maps, the least I've personally done them with is 3 people. 1 healer, 1 tank and 1 dps. Pros: Less time getting people to run the content with and more importantly, less people to share the loot with. Cons: Things die slow, higher chance of wiping. If you struggle clearing either add another healer or bring RDM or SMN.
One thing you didn't mention about bozja is how expensive the Bozja Runner crates, the upgrades for bozja armor, can be. They're 500 basic bozja coins for head, hands and feet, and 999 for chest and pants(these are usually not worth it). I've seen(and sold myself) 500 coins crates sell for as much as 2.5m depending on how many there are for sale, and they'll regularly go out for around 1m.
Man, I knew I didn’t know enough about endgame content but even after ending ShB and waiting for EW I still feel miles away from all this and probably will never get to Bozja stuff or even a relic weapon. I’m a casual at heart what can I say
I'm with you on the undercut issue. When I played WOW if I saw an item for 500 gold and another for 499 gold I would buy the 500 gold item. I always felt that if you were going to discount something to make a sale it should at least be a worthwhile discount. 1g does not do it for me. However, it does seem to be a rule that many have tacitly agreed to in FF14 so I am going along for the time being.
The way I made money recently was farming the recent moogle tomes and buying the modern aesthetics hairs and selling them. They usually went about 200k - 400k each and I ended up making around 1.5m gil
I like treasure maps. Even if you don't get sellable loot, you still get quite a lot of gil for each map. And you don't need a full group. We've successfully completed with a group of 3. My wife likes doing Eureka Pyros bunnies. Gold chests from there give quite a lot of gil and a chance at a rare mount that can sell (the flaming orange yeti thing). Similar to Bozja and Zadnor. If you have your adventure squadron up and running I like to make sure all my members have a chance at returning gatherer or crafter materia on each completed mission. Even though only grade 4 materia gets rewared, they still sell for a decent amount.
One thing I like to do is weekly B ranks for teleport tickets from the Centurio hunts. It's like 50 tickets weekly, covers all teleport costs. Highly underrated, and lets your gil build up/not take that "small" hit every time you need to get somewhere quick. The daily hunts add up too, if you've got a few extra minutes to kill while in queue or waiting on something else like a gathering window. You get gil straight up from completing the hunts themselves, and doing every hunts daily hunts and B rank nets like 78k gil a week if you do them every day just from the raw gil acquired alone. But keep in mind it's also about 75/20/15 for Ranks 3/2/1 completion daily. So 150/40/30 a day if you do both sets of Centurio in Ishgard/Stormblood. That's 1250 centurio seals a week from the daily hunt board, which translates to about 312 aethereyte tickets a week. Each ticket can save you up to 999 gil, so from one week of doing that, you can potentially save yourself up to 311668 gil on future teleport costs. The real savings are in a range, of course, since not every single teleport is 999 gil, but with Sharlayan and Thavnair zones coming in, the range between teleports is only going to stay trending towards maximum. I'm not rich, as I'm always spending my gil on doing stuff. Potions/food to save time. Submarine materials like Kamacite to save time. But with the tickets on top of treasure maps on top of selling things on top of direct gil from roulette bonuses, I've never really needed to worry about gil.
@@Shiirow Exactly, free to play player here. All this requires access to market board. I do a little of everything and found dungeons and leve quests really any quests the best for us. I do Beast trials as well. I've only finished arr so far though and my weaver is lvl 50.
Zepla thank you so so so much for this video since last week I have made 2-3m already and to be honest even added some of my own ideas to it and have also been using allegories to buy dwarven chrome or bench work refining sand so I’ve been making quite a bit of money since you released this video
Thank you! Planning on checking out FFIV soon, but I despise the undercut by 1 copper mentality some players in WOW classic have. I try to price my auctions fairly and when I check on them it is so annoying when someone has priced theirs 1c below my price. If you're going to price yours lower then price it lower. I usually consider 1% to 5% to be fair for my pricing. When I see people price theirs 1c below another persons, I buy from the other person. The price difference will not hurt me and I dont want to reward that behavior.
If enough people are undercutting you by 1c that yours doesn't sell, you were priced too high and were never going to sell. It's like basic, basic economics. Relist at a lower price.
I just wanted to add an observation for the new players: you really don’t need much Gil to enjoy 95% of the game. Other than housing, new glamours/cosmetics , and consumables, most everything is cheap enough that the average player won’t be held back by not having enough Gil.
Exactly! I’ve been sitting pretty on 10 million Gil accumulated from healer/tank in need dungeon roulettes. I hardly spend any Gil outside of food and teleport fees.. my most expensive endeavor was buying thravnian onions for my Choco to increase his rank... I don’t play for glams.... I wear armor for practicality 😆
Wow first time I've managed to see a Zepla video close to uploading. I love your videos I commented on your recent chat with Asmongold but you're a great ambassador for FFXIV and you do amazing work
Eureka is also a great way to make gil, especially farming bunny lockboxes in pyros! Also staying on top of killing the crab and Cassie in Pagos for a change at speed belt & cassie earring, and skoll in pyros for skoll's claw. Can easily make tens of millions of gil if you get lucky with drops in Eureka.
I have like 70-80mil, I forget something around that, and I don't really sell things on the MB either. 1). (Most important): Being very thrifty when it comes to the MB. Buy almost nothing, and you will never lose gil. 2). Daily Adventurer In Need bonuses on lots of roulettes, having a Tank and Healer both on 80 and able to do these gets you a decent chunk of gil. 3). 4 Retainers spamming 18h Lv80 ventures for the coins (what they bring back is irrelevant -- you want the Coins) 3b). Turn in GC seals to get the ventures, anytime you get dungeon gear that won't level your desynth. I have enough venture coins to run my 4 retainers for a year and a half. 4). Doman Enclave is an extra 40k per week if you sell 40 of the coins there rather than selling them to any other vendor. 5). Challenge Logs is a drop in the bucket, but one that adds up over time. Out of the above, #3 probably makes me the most money. With my alt that is barely past Ultima Weapon, she has 600k on her (this is after spending like 300k+ in clothes, materials, etc for leveling her crafts), and the majority of that is Adventurer In Need from Roulettes.
I have like 5.1 million gil after being out of the free trial for maybe 3 months. I know that isn't a lot, but I haven't done any crafting/gathering (unless people count buying stuff for GC turn-ins), just beast tribes and roulettes and MSQ stuff, and my money keeps going up. It already feels like I don't really need gil for much, but then I remember when I did buy some level 60-ish gathering gear and that cost me about a million, so I'm sure I just haven't seen it yet. Plus, I've basically said no to buying my own house, cause that aspect of the game just doesn't really appeal to me until they let you store items in your house to free up retainer/inventory space. I guess I'm just saying it feels pretty easy to make gil to me, until you get to like high end stuff where you really need tons of it. Oh, and since this part hopefully gets buried under the "Read More" thing... I remember some people in my server's NN saying they can get some rare Eureka drops that sell for millions, but are really easy to farm now, just because Eureka's dead. Makes me wonder if it isn't better to hold onto the Bozja rare items until Endwalker is out and people stop running Bozja.
Give a amount per selling etc to one of your retainers so you don't have it on display all the time. Helped me a lot and I'm now sitting on ~20 million gil
i've leveled my gatherers purely through company provisions, mined alumen exactly once, and now my retainer gets it for me. it's a low tier get rich quick scheme, sure, but it does get me around 20-30k per stack sold and it only takes a couple ventures to gather a stack. pretty good passive way to get money flowing in
Zepla i just saw your podcast with Asmond, which was moretheless yours. Anyway I loved it, funny/verry intelligent, and i agree with many of your opinions about MMOs. Conviced to play FFXIV. Great entertainment! GG&GL
You could see how hard Zepla tried to contain her laughter when she said "So, if you wanna get your hands on the best sacks, you've gotta be ready for things to get hard." 4:25 HAHAHAHA that smirk
Cheaper source of Ventures: Spend your allied seals for those and Aetheryte Tickets. Even if you only do the weekly ones, that's 300 seals you can earn pretty quickly. I also kill random A ranks for ARR/HW as I find them for a few extra. Ixal Oaknots are also pretty decent for the time sink. If you have the time to spare, you can also do all the daily hunts for extra seals and Gil, super quick kills at level 80, though I usually just skip the two FATEs unless they're already up or I have chores around the house to do.
"If you want to get your hands on the best sacks, you better get ready for things to get hard." Why have i only discovered this content creator now? XD. Comedy Gold.
If you watch your marketboard you can usually stock up on the desirable maps for cheap during the week and sell for a profit on weekends. Gathering them makes it more profit but if you don't have a gatherer that can get the maps, buying and selling is still possible. I've seen maps fluctuate from 30k-75k from mid week to the weekend on my server. Alternatively, simply world hop and watch prices on a couple markets for items that sell very regularly. If your smart with your buys and sells you can make a really good profit without having to do any farming, crafting, or gathering. Fishing is one good market to watch for this.
I just need a simple answer, (Im just post Stormblood atm) and only been playing for 6 months so I still don't know or have enough time to understand the etiquette when putting something on sell on the mkt, even though of course real life rules and common sense should always apply. When I see an item selling for 1000 gil from 5 people for example and there's another person selling it for 400 gil, that's just... you know, not cool? I ask because now that Zepla mentioned the undercutting part, I want to know understand how this game perceive that.
Simple answer: It's a free market. Slightly less simple answer: People don't understand economics. Others do, but don't care. They just want their fast gil. Both these types of people can be very annoying, and make the markets unnecessarily unstable. Though if they undercut by a significant amount, that can actually open up to someone else buying them out and profiting from their ignorance/apathy. Not even slightly simple answer: Fast selling items are fine to undercut. If you undercut a lot, someone will buy up the item, and relist it for the sensible price. The original seller gets their money fast, and the new seller still profits. Things like shards, crystals, glamour prisms, and common crafting ingredients are fast-sellers. Slow selling items are not fine to undercut by a lot. If you list a slow selling item for a lot less, you're more likely to set a bar for new listings. The market crashes, and everyone who listed for a sensible amount before that loses money. Some items are overly-inflated in price, and so it is good and normal when that happens. But when it happens to an item that is already priced fairly, or underpriced, it opens the door for someone with a massive wallet to buy-out all the underpriced items and slowly make back the gil at incredible %profit while people are forced to buy their listings. It's something that happens in real-world markets a lot, though that's obviously much more complex an issue. You know how GPU's are overinflated in price right now because of crypto-farms? Same effect, just to differing scales.
i paid 15mil gil for the early to rise hairstyle when it first came out. (i even waited a few weeks for the price to drop, it was 20 mil) the massive price drop just makes me sad now.
@@RandomQuestNPC oh but I DID wait. My patience saved me 5 mil. For a long while after the hairstyle hovered around 12 mil, but then Zadnor released and the price plumeted faster than a lead balloon.
@@jarial4130 In the end it's just In-Game Currency, which is in my opinion worth far less than your personal enjoyment. So if you enjoy the Early To Rise Hairstyle more than you enjoy hoarding gil, you did nothing wrong!
I'm getting closed to 180 millions gil ^^ with an average of 2 millions a day. Some of the methods described I use, some I dont or only occasionally. Group Maps, Bojza and potd are ok but honestly I dont find them very time/gil effective. It takes way too long and way too much effort. I can make much more in less time with minimum grind. I use 1 hour a week where I craft A LOT of stuff which I then sell during the rest of the week. And some adds on when needed. Of course crafting is essential, and you dont even need to have them at max levels, there are plenty of new players at the moment buying leveling gears that sell decent and fast. I have all crafters/gatherers to max and I used to craft the best of the best but it actually was making me less profits, not mentioning there were too many sellers. The key is to find some niche where there are less sellers so you dont need to adjust prices all the time and with the mats that dont cost you an arm and a leg (yeah I'm lazy I dont even gather them for the most part), for maximum profits :) Also, sadly it is best not to talk about your specific niches or methods, because as soon as it is mentioned somewhere, the market crashes ^^ Also another little tip I can give you: resell your mats (even if that means you will need some again later), there is no need to keep anything unless it is super rare. 99% of the time you can sell them more expensive than you bought them. A lot of people dont understand how the MB works and will just use the lowest price available for small quantities while you can sell those way more expensive per unit then the big quantities... Same goes for HQ, rebuy any HQ that is selling for too cheap, you can sometimes sell them again 5 to 10 times more (and that way the market doesnt crash). Also last but not least: it helps to have an eye for fashion and be observant as a crafter. There are really nice gears that a lot of players wear as glams, if you look around, in no time you know what is popular, and they are not always expensive glams to make, sometimes just a gear which everyone else will make HQ will actually sell as glam, so you make a low quality one (which you can do your eyes closed without thinking lol), sell it a bit cheaper than all the HQ ones and hop gone for 100k in 2 mns ^^ (no I wont say which ones haha). Cheap and minimum effort for maximum profit is my motto :d
I have about 1 million Gil just from getting caught up until Heavnsward. Is this fine? I don't really use gil for anything.I might buy a weapon here or there and I do not care for glammer really. What is gil mainly good for?
When you hit 80, most people buy the upgradeable Exarch crafted gear which on my server goes for between 75k-100k-500k gil each depending on the slot type and market hijinx. Then again you can just get them crafted or craft them yourself if you can.
In the Doman Enclave, you can also trade in items for gratuity money, up to 40k every week! The money bags you get from quests give the cleanest, wholest amount of money

Q
Me: *Googles how to make money in FF14 without Crafters or Gatherers*
Result: Level up crafters and Gatherers
Well honestly the amount of money you can make are pretty insane if you check some of the more popular guides and keep HQ'ing the DoH/DoL gear or leve turn in items those guides use. Players have obsurd amounts of money in this game. Now with all the new sprouts coming in.... seriously was sitting down around the armorer in Limsa earlier just making a few gearpieces for a friend and couldn't hear the awesome strings of Limsa because there was so many sprouts clinking on their anvils. xD
@@magnuscarlsson9969 The main problem is in order to quickly level your crafters...you need a large chunk of gil...which the person looking for a guide for doesn't have...so it's kind of a viscious cycle.
@@luketfer yeah the only way I ended up leveling crafters was with beast tribes and 1-50 with ixal is painfully slow D:
@@magnuscarlsson9969 I picked up all the gathering/crafting professions. Smithing, Armor Smithing, Gold Smithing and Mining all kind of work together. But I took Logging/Botany too. This way you aren't reliant on the market. If you are willing to get your own materials? It means you stand to make more money. You can sell lumber and ingots for a decent price. I went from about 400,000 to 600,000 gil. I can reliably get about 76k gil if I list things on the market. almost have all my crafters/gathers to about 30-40 or so. My blacksmithing is a bit behind
@@luketfer Nah the main benefit is that you can level crafting very cost efficiently if you don't rush things. I've noticed that most players who rush the DoH jobs are the people who quite recently hit 80.
So if you keep things at a resonable price, you can earn alot of gil just HQ crafting DoL/DoH gear and levequest items... while leveling your own DoH and DoL classes. So instead of making stuff to turn in yourself, you just make some extra stuff and level up naturally.
Here is also an good advice for people who love doing dungeons: Lvl roulette gives 20k daily, and for roles in need (healer): 11k run
Yeah I earned most of my Gil leveling up healing classes in roulette early on. Getting the tank mounts however pushed me into the "do this game even have money?" category, since you keep getting(even if reduced) quite a decent chunk of Gil. But then again I've noticed that you probably could do it way quicker just being a good working bee beating on rocky surfaces and selling the ore(wood works aswell and depending on server it might be more profitable), especially mythril or silver since It's required in massive amounts and players do buy it when they try to rush the DoH classes-
@@hotbreaded a
Yeah I usually do all the roulette except for main scenario and I get about 100k a day.
People also sleep on the challenge log. Many of these are super easy/fast, and if you hit the next reward threshold it's a bonus 10k on top of that.
Desynth 5 items? 2k gil. Just grab 5 cheap fish and click desynth all. Just a few seconds.
Craft 30 items can be similarly super fast for 1k, since they can be the cheap ones.
Likewise, if you're gonna be afk for a bit, just grab a stack of a low-level, one-item recipe and quick synth all. You'll probably have 20 hq items by the end, and that's 2k.
Right there, that's 3/5 to the next 10k.
Killing stuff in the world? Have your chocobo out. You'll get 1k at 20 enemies. 2k at 100 enemies. (On top of chocobo xp).
And all that together has your 10k bonus from the challenge log, plus 8k for the entries.
18k weekly, most of it relatively passive. Just gotta actually bring your chocobo out as you play.
Really? I've never done the lvl roulette cus it seemed like a waist doing a lvl 16 dungeon at 50+. Just finished ARR so I've been spamming the main scenario for poetics and the exp was insane so I figured the leveling one was pointless.
Thank you zepla.
Its so refreshing to see the FFXIV talk about this..whenever i ask someone,i always get the response "No im not telling you my secrets to make gil" its so annoying lmao
I'm a brand new player, playing for two weeks now, and I just want to thank you. You have taught me so much! If it wasn't for you, I would have made so many mistakes. Again, thank you.

I love it when my level 50 retainer would bring me back Ifrit weapons (when that was harder) I would be like "I gotta get 8 jerks together and kill this guy and my retainer just spanked him and got a weapon"
It's a very easy fight if you go in unsynced, though

Hey I'm kind of new returning to the game, does your retainer have to be a war class to bring back weapons and stuff like that, or can it be a miner or botanist?

similarly, since you're mentioning bozja, Eureka - either the bunny chests through Pagos/Pyros/Hydatos have mounts that can sell for 10-20 mil each, or cold/hot/moisture warped lockboxes with rarer bardings, emotes, hairstyles. Or NMs that drop expensive items like Crab/Cassie in Pagos, or the 3 magicite NMs in Pyros and Hydatos, selling ranging between 100k to 20 mil
Recently started playing and your videos have really help me navigate through the game! My sub is yours!
Omg thank goodness. As a sprout whos obsessed with minions and glams I am always broke!! LOL. Thank you for these videos they are really helpful!!
A really great way to save on gil, and thus keep a steadier supply of profits, is doing hunts for allied seals. Spend them on aetheryte tickets so that you don't to spend money on teleporting.
So thorough, I really needed this guide. Some of the other ones are quite tedious and require so much grinding on crafters. You're the best 👍🏿
I just started playing ~1 month ago, so I don't have as much experience, but this was the best ffxiv guide/content I've found yet. Thank you so much for the clear and easy to understand information! :) Subbing for sure
i know it requires some crafting but like coffee biscuits are the way to go for easy money lmao
i have arthritis now but ye its insane
Great guide, thanks!
Yeah I have been using 4 retainers for a long time and it's my main source of income and I have like 30mill gil. Not a ton but plenty that I don't need to worry about gil. And I mainly use GC seals to purchase ventures.
I’m on the last part of my ARR relic weapon and this came out at the perfect time! Thank you!!!!!
Wait what’s needed for the final part of it? I’ve only done the first few steps
@@ethansizemore3739 a lot of buying things
Hello Everyone! Zepla goes over making gil really nicely! So thank you for that! The other ways I also make gil is to do Wonderous tails every week. You have a choice to either getting a map or just getting a flat 10,000 gil item that you can sell. Though, some of the tokens you get from getting 2 or 3 different lines(Think of bingo!) You can buy some items that aren't market prohibited, I personally don't do that, mainly because I love running maps and currently do map parties every week. Other ways I also make some gil are: Roulettes(If you run a few every day, you can get a good chuck around 10,000+k depending on a few circumstances), Company seals after buying a few ventures to send those lovely retainers out and buying a few items as either vendor candy since I don't like playing the markets. Always check how much something sells for if you sell it to a vendor by themselves you will be surprised how much something is, Doman enclave turn in- now maxed out you can get 40k each week from turning in items though I mainly turn in those gold pieces I get from retainers when I send them out for exploration(18h one) because you do get a 200% bonus( when maxed out) So you don't have to give too many of them, Hunts do give some good pocket change- The ARR and HW hunts also give the hunt credits that you can then buy items that you can sell, turn in, or what I like to do is buy free teleport tickets to save on those teleports! -Just a little bit of what I can think of on the top of my head without crafting or gathering at the moment. I hope everyone is doing well :)
Rich and Zepla have the most compatible senses of humour; they both crack cheesy puns and innuendo. Seeing them on stream together more in future is going to be a treat.... their synergy on the transmog competition was great
Hunt Trains in Shadowbringers is a good way to make fast gil, each A Rank gives craked stella cluster + Nuts + Allegory, cluster can be exchange for materia and that sells quick for a good amount, Allegory can be traded for Workbench Sand or Aluminum Ore that also sells quick and a fair amount, and the nuts can also be exchanged for materia assuming you don't crypt augmentation gear
Me a new player only listening:
Her saying to sell coke:
Me:
Me: “the drug?”
Me: rewinds
Me: ok so there not a drug market in FF14 but I was ready to do it, I was ready
Lol same dude
very great vid Zepla =) only things i could possibly add is for people to just do their hunts. challenge log entries, daily roulettes, utilize their GC seals to sell crafting mat an or housing items, Fetes in ishgard, or even offer up some of their ingame currencies/resources (this is an ok method not illegal or against terms of service) to other players who want specific materials or items that are tradeable using said currencies/resources i.e. [tomestones, beast tribe, gemstones, etc.]
i know i;m beating a dead horse here but that allcraft episode last night was the best one yet, got me subscribed to this channel it was so good
This is a dead horse worth beating though.
Crafting and gathering is all I do as my WHM skills have deteriorated due to the needs of having a toddler.
So I love this guide as it means less competition at the market board.
Expanding on the primal drops a bit, consider holding onto the materials if that boss doesn't have crafted weapons yet. Crafted versions of boss weapons have unique visual effects and are worth millions whenever released, with the materials being just as valuable. New ones can show up with new patches and aren't advertised before launch, so checking in on that as soon as possible could net you huge profits if you have a stockpile of materials waiting to be sold. The only problem is that you'd be waiting an indefinite amount of time, since there are no rules or schedules to dictate what bosses get weapons at what time; some might take years (like Zurvan) but others might show up when the fight is still fairly current (like Hades.) With patience though, it's one of the easiest ways to make bank.
Still waiting for Elidibus weapons to come out already
One thing I've always done is donate to the Doman Enclave. When you max it out, your donations are worth double the gil, so any Allagan Silver Pieces and such you may have lying around, that's a great place to get rid of them.
Also, every time I do a higher-level dungeon, I roll on ALL the loot, and then go sell it afterward. That gil adds up pretty fast.
It’d be really cool to see an updated mount list and how to get them! As a mount collector and farmer myself, and your video really being the only one out there, i’d love to see a comprehensive updated list. Great video!
Never stop with the puns. I love them.
Thanks for the great video! loved the allcraft episode last night as well!!
my retainers love bringing back coeurl bikini tops. idk what they're doing when i send them out but the tops sell for like 300kish so im not complaining
I think of scenarios where they either mugged somebody or broke into someone's house. You can imagine my fear when K'lyshka brought me a Heavy Darklight Armor piece that made me think, "ooh no...there's a naked PLD, DRK or WAR out there. I better hide." 🤣
@@sunayocarissime5309 I feel that. My retainers have an obsession with housing stuff, especially rooftops & bathtubs. I'm always like: how the frick do you even transport that? 🤣
I've been playing FF14 for a few months now. This info will definitely help, thank you very much 💜
I'm convinced Zepla runs her own underground colosseum.
For treasure maps, the least I've personally done them with is 3 people. 1 healer, 1 tank and 1 dps. Pros: Less time getting people to run the content with and more importantly, less people to share the loot with. Cons: Things die slow, higher chance of wiping.
If you struggle clearing either add another healer or bring RDM or SMN.
5:01 "treasure chest" I don't know if showing that part of the map was a coincidence but I'm laughing so hard
You don't even need to undercut by 1 gil. It'll put the most recent marketboard listing at the top. So, you only need to match the current low price.
One thing you didn't mention about bozja is how expensive the Bozja Runner crates, the upgrades for bozja armor, can be. They're 500 basic bozja coins for head, hands and feet, and 999 for chest and pants(these are usually not worth it). I've seen(and sold myself) 500 coins crates sell for as much as 2.5m depending on how many there are for sale, and they'll regularly go out for around 1m.
Im new to your site, but I have to say I think you are absolutely Fantastic.. thank you for introducing me and helping me on my way in Final Fantasy!
Man, I knew I didn’t know enough about endgame content but even after ending ShB and waiting for EW I still feel miles away from all this and probably will never get to Bozja stuff or even a relic weapon. I’m a casual at heart what can I say
I'm with you on the undercut issue. When I played WOW if I saw an item for 500 gold and another for 499 gold I would buy the 500 gold item. I always felt that if you were going to discount something to make a sale it should at least be a worthwhile discount. 1g does not do it for me. However, it does seem to be a rule that many have tacitly agreed to in FF14 so I am going along for the time being.
The way I made money recently was farming the recent moogle tomes and buying the modern aesthetics hairs and selling them. They usually went about 200k - 400k each and I ended up making around 1.5m gil
I picked up FFXIV about a week ago. I appreciate all your guide videos.
I like treasure maps. Even if you don't get sellable loot, you still get quite a lot of gil for each map. And you don't need a full group. We've successfully completed with a group of 3.
My wife likes doing Eureka Pyros bunnies. Gold chests from there give quite a lot of gil and a chance at a rare mount that can sell (the flaming orange yeti thing). Similar to Bozja and Zadnor.
If you have your adventure squadron up and running I like to make sure all my members have a chance at returning gatherer or crafter materia on each completed mission. Even though only grade 4 materia gets rewared, they still sell for a decent amount.
One thing I like to do is weekly B ranks for teleport tickets from the Centurio hunts. It's like 50 tickets weekly, covers all teleport costs. Highly underrated, and lets your gil build up/not take that "small" hit every time you need to get somewhere quick.
The daily hunts add up too, if you've got a few extra minutes to kill while in queue or waiting on something else like a gathering window. You get gil straight up from completing the hunts themselves, and doing every hunts daily hunts and B rank nets like 78k gil a week if you do them every day just from the raw gil acquired alone. But keep in mind it's also about 75/20/15 for Ranks 3/2/1 completion daily. So 150/40/30 a day if you do both sets of Centurio in Ishgard/Stormblood. That's 1250 centurio seals a week from the daily hunt board, which translates to about 312 aethereyte tickets a week. Each ticket can save you up to 999 gil, so from one week of doing that, you can potentially save yourself up to 311668 gil on future teleport costs. The real savings are in a range, of course, since not every single teleport is 999 gil, but with Sharlayan and Thavnair zones coming in, the range between teleports is only going to stay trending towards maximum.
I'm not rich, as I'm always spending my gil on doing stuff. Potions/food to save time. Submarine materials like Kamacite to save time. But with the tickets on top of treasure maps on top of selling things on top of direct gil from roulette bonuses, I've never really needed to worry about gil.
So you're telling me i can have more than 300k gil at a time?...
unless you are a free trial... yes.
Bruh im sitting at a sweet 88k right now
@@Shiirow Exactly, free to play player here. All this requires access to market board. I do a little of everything and found dungeons and leve quests really any quests the best for us. I do Beast trials as well. I've only finished arr so far though and my weaver is lvl 50.
Zepla thank you so so so much for this video since last week I have made 2-3m already and to be honest even added some of my own ideas to it and have also been using allegories to buy dwarven chrome or bench work refining sand so I’ve been making quite a bit of money since you released this video
Me, a refugee from WoW who just discovered glamour: 683 gil
Ohhhh the puns, I'm new to your channel but I'm certainly listening for them already!
You forgot about bunnies in Eureka. I've made a fortune doing those. Especially when the hair or mount drops.
Would that be the Pagos or Pyros variant of bunnies?
@@Xialoh i usually do Pyros. Pagos doesn't drop a mount. Hydatos bunnies are good too, but a bit more dangerous
Thank you! Planning on checking out FFIV soon, but I despise the undercut by 1 copper mentality some players in WOW classic have. I try to price my auctions fairly and when I check on them it is so annoying when someone has priced theirs 1c below my price. If you're going to price yours lower then price it lower. I usually consider 1% to 5% to be fair for my pricing. When I see people price theirs 1c below another persons, I buy from the other person. The price difference will not hurt me and I dont want to reward that behavior.
If enough people are undercutting you by 1c that yours doesn't sell, you were priced too high and were never going to sell. It's like basic, basic economics. Relist at a lower price.
I just wanted to add an observation for the new players: you really don’t need much Gil to enjoy 95% of the game. Other than housing, new glamours/cosmetics , and consumables, most everything is cheap enough that the average player won’t be held back by not having enough Gil.
Exactly! I’ve been sitting pretty on 10 million Gil accumulated from healer/tank in need dungeon roulettes. I hardly spend any Gil outside of food and teleport fees.. my most expensive endeavor was buying thravnian onions for my Choco to increase his rank... I don’t play for glams.... I wear armor for practicality 😆
Just the video I needed! It’s like she knew lmao
I am currently trying to get my Zodiac weapon. And guides say I neeed a lot of gil. Ty
I have 3,439 gil and I've been playing for months 😂
That's nothing. I get that much gil from one alliance raid run. What are you spending it on?
@@benlev3375 probably college tuition
Bruh....there should be a series to see if you can play ff14 with 1 gil in pocket and give the rest to your retainer
I got 20 million and I only sell some levelling crap on the marketboard
Leveling as a sprout 🌱 with 790K at lvl 65 with zero trade and gathering skills.
youre always posting these kind of videos exactly when i need them :D
Wow first time I've managed to see a Zepla video close to uploading. I love your videos I commented on your recent chat with Asmongold but you're a great ambassador for FFXIV and you do amazing work
I've been looking for a decent Gil video, thanks sooooo much for this
What we do with maps is one person needs everything, sells them, and sends us our share of the money!! Makes every map night a good gil profit :>
Thanks for making that one of the best episodes of allcraft ever! Enjoying the content so much.!
I’m surprised after just a couple of days of roulettes I had have 100K…love this dang thing
if you do challenge log, most challenges net 2k each, with the bottom meta-challenges giving 10k each.
Eureka is also a great way to make gil, especially farming bunny lockboxes in pyros! Also staying on top of killing the crab and Cassie in Pagos for a change at speed belt & cassie earring, and skoll in pyros for skoll's claw. Can easily make tens of millions of gil if you get lucky with drops in Eureka.
Thats soooo helpful to get the crafted gear right away when you hit 80 !!! ;>
I have like 70-80mil, I forget something around that, and I don't really sell things on the MB either.
1). (Most important): Being very thrifty when it comes to the MB. Buy almost nothing, and you will never lose gil.
2). Daily Adventurer In Need bonuses on lots of roulettes, having a Tank and Healer both on 80 and able to do these gets you a decent chunk of gil.
3). 4 Retainers spamming 18h Lv80 ventures for the coins (what they bring back is irrelevant -- you want the Coins)
3b). Turn in GC seals to get the ventures, anytime you get dungeon gear that won't level your desynth. I have enough venture coins to run my 4 retainers for a year and a half.
4). Doman Enclave is an extra 40k per week if you sell 40 of the coins there rather than selling them to any other vendor.
5). Challenge Logs is a drop in the bucket, but one that adds up over time.
Out of the above, #3 probably makes me the most money. With my alt that is barely past Ultima Weapon, she has 600k on her (this is after spending like 300k+ in clothes, materials, etc for leveling her crafts), and the majority of that is Adventurer In Need from Roulettes.
I have like 5.1 million gil after being out of the free trial for maybe 3 months. I know that isn't a lot, but I haven't done any crafting/gathering (unless people count buying stuff for GC turn-ins), just beast tribes and roulettes and MSQ stuff, and my money keeps going up. It already feels like I don't really need gil for much, but then I remember when I did buy some level 60-ish gathering gear and that cost me about a million, so I'm sure I just haven't seen it yet. Plus, I've basically said no to buying my own house, cause that aspect of the game just doesn't really appeal to me until they let you store items in your house to free up retainer/inventory space. I guess I'm just saying it feels pretty easy to make gil to me, until you get to like high end stuff where you really need tons of it.
Oh, and since this part hopefully gets buried under the "Read More" thing... I remember some people in my server's NN saying they can get some rare Eureka drops that sell for millions, but are really easy to farm now, just because Eureka's dead. Makes me wonder if it isn't better to hold onto the Bozja rare items until Endwalker is out and people stop running Bozja.
Great video. Also grats on 300k subs! :)
Congratulations on the fantastic stream yesterday you deserve it
Really love your content and your passion for FFXIV! Please stay as you are and keep going like this ♡
I've been playing since ARR launched and I don't think I've ever broken 4m at one time. I'm bad at saving :(
Give a amount per selling etc to one of your retainers so you don't have it on display all the time. Helped me a lot and I'm now sitting on ~20 million gil
Love your jokes, smile, and insight! :D Best combo!
i've leveled my gatherers purely through company provisions, mined alumen exactly once, and now my retainer gets it for me. it's a low tier get rich quick scheme, sure, but it does get me around 20-30k per stack sold and it only takes a couple ventures to gather a stack. pretty good passive way to get money flowing in
Zepla i just saw your podcast with Asmond, which was moretheless yours. Anyway I loved it, funny/verry intelligent, and i agree with many of your opinions about MMOs. Conviced to play FFXIV. Great entertainment! GG&GL
I finally saved up 3,500 Gil and got really excited. Now I feel like I’m doing something wrong
Jesus did you just start?
Run your daily roulettes!
I came for the information, I stayed and subbed for the glorious puns. :D - New FFXIV player who just hit 50 this weekend
You could see how hard Zepla tried to contain her laughter when she said "So, if you wanna get your hands on the best sacks, you've gotta be ready for things to get hard." 4:25 HAHAHAHA that smirk
Cheaper source of Ventures: Spend your allied seals for those and Aetheryte Tickets. Even if you only do the weekly ones, that's 300 seals you can earn pretty quickly. I also kill random A ranks for ARR/HW as I find them for a few extra. Ixal Oaknots are also pretty decent for the time sink. If you have the time to spare, you can also do all the daily hunts for extra seals and Gil, super quick kills at level 80, though I usually just skip the two FATEs unless they're already up or I have chores around the house to do.
Fishers also pull up treasure maps, you just need to use the snagging ability to do it.
Got into FF and into making videos about it, the game is super good and after watching this I can't wait to explore this part of the game
Just open ERP brothel. It's basically infinite gil glitch
back in SB there was a brothel right behind my M house. and ALOT of people went there.
i've been playing for a week or so and i've watched a few of your videos. I'm already overwhelmed with stuff that there is to do.
"If you want to get your hands on the best sacks, you better get ready for things to get hard." Why have i only discovered this content creator now? XD. Comedy Gold.
If you watch your marketboard you can usually stock up on the desirable maps for cheap during the week and sell for a profit on weekends.
Gathering them makes it more profit but if you don't have a gatherer that can get the maps, buying and selling is still possible.
I've seen maps fluctuate from 30k-75k from mid week to the weekend on my server.
Alternatively, simply world hop and watch prices on a couple markets for items that sell very regularly. If your smart with your buys and sells you can make a really good profit without having to do any farming, crafting, or gathering. Fishing is one good market to watch for this.
I just need a simple answer, (Im just post Stormblood atm) and only been playing for 6 months so I still don't know or have enough time to understand the etiquette when putting something on sell on the mkt, even though of course real life rules and common sense should always apply. When I see an item selling for 1000 gil from 5 people for example and there's another person selling it for 400 gil, that's just... you know, not cool? I ask because now that Zepla mentioned the undercutting part, I want to know understand how this game perceive that.
you should buy this 400 gil item and resell it on marketboard for 999 gil :)
@@75Marlex I mean... yeah? But that's not my question lol.
Simple answer:
It's a free market.
Slightly less simple answer:
People don't understand economics. Others do, but don't care. They just want their fast gil.
Both these types of people can be very annoying, and make the markets unnecessarily unstable. Though if they undercut by a significant amount, that can actually open up to someone else buying them out and profiting from their ignorance/apathy.
Not even slightly simple answer:
Fast selling items are fine to undercut. If you undercut a lot, someone will buy up the item, and relist it for the sensible price. The original seller gets their money fast, and the new seller still profits. Things like shards, crystals, glamour prisms, and common crafting ingredients are fast-sellers.
Slow selling items are not fine to undercut by a lot. If you list a slow selling item for a lot less, you're more likely to set a bar for new listings. The market crashes, and everyone who listed for a sensible amount before that loses money.
Some items are overly-inflated in price, and so it is good and normal when that happens. But when it happens to an item that is already priced fairly, or underpriced, it opens the door for someone with a massive wallet to buy-out all the underpriced items and slowly make back the gil at incredible %profit while people are forced to buy their listings. It's something that happens in real-world markets a lot, though that's obviously much more complex an issue. You know how GPU's are overinflated in price right now because of crypto-farms? Same effect, just to differing scales.
Whenever this video hits my feed I mistake the thumbnail to read as “How to make Girl” instead of Gil and get a good chuckle every time. 😅
i paid 15mil gil for the early to rise hairstyle when it first came out. (i even waited a few weeks for the price to drop, it was 20 mil) the massive price drop just makes me sad now.
oh damn, i took a break like 2 months ago, and it is still like 10m. just checking now and its 200k. my prayer with you
Well, that's the price to pay if you want stuff right away instead of waiting for the inevitability of the price drop.
@@RandomQuestNPC oh but I DID wait. My patience saved me 5 mil. For a long while after the hairstyle hovered around 12 mil, but then Zadnor released and the price plumeted faster than a lead balloon.
@@jarial4130 In the end it's just In-Game Currency, which is in my opinion worth far less than your personal enjoyment. So if you enjoy the Early To Rise Hairstyle more than you enjoy hoarding gil, you did nothing wrong!
Ty for this guide and to the people that is leaving helpful comments!!!!
I'm getting closed to 180 millions gil ^^ with an average of 2 millions a day. Some of the methods described I use, some I dont or only occasionally. Group Maps, Bojza and potd are ok but honestly I dont find them very time/gil effective. It takes way too long and way too much effort. I can make much more in less time with minimum grind. I use 1 hour a week where I craft A LOT of stuff which I then sell during the rest of the week. And some adds on when needed. Of course crafting is essential, and you dont even need to have them at max levels, there are plenty of new players at the moment buying leveling gears that sell decent and fast. I have all crafters/gatherers to max and I used to craft the best of the best but it actually was making me less profits, not mentioning there were too many sellers. The key is to find some niche where there are less sellers so you dont need to adjust prices all the time and with the mats that dont cost you an arm and a leg (yeah I'm lazy I dont even gather them for the most part), for maximum profits :) Also, sadly it is best not to talk about your specific niches or methods, because as soon as it is mentioned somewhere, the market crashes ^^
Also another little tip I can give you: resell your mats (even if that means you will need some again later), there is no need to keep anything unless it is super rare. 99% of the time you can sell them more expensive than you bought them. A lot of people dont understand how the MB works and will just use the lowest price available for small quantities while you can sell those way more expensive per unit then the big quantities... Same goes for HQ, rebuy any HQ that is selling for too cheap, you can sometimes sell them again 5 to 10 times more (and that way the market doesnt crash).
Also last but not least: it helps to have an eye for fashion and be observant as a crafter. There are really nice gears that a lot of players wear as glams, if you look around, in no time you know what is popular, and they are not always expensive glams to make, sometimes just a gear which everyone else will make HQ will actually sell as glam, so you make a low quality one (which you can do your eyes closed without thinking lol), sell it a bit cheaper than all the HQ ones and hop gone for 100k in 2 mns ^^ (no I wont say which ones haha). Cheap and minimum effort for maximum profit is my motto :d
L M A O Played it 3 times over and finally put on CC because you were delivering with such a straight face. You got me good there Cheers!😉
I have about 1 million Gil just from getting caught up until Heavnsward. Is this fine? I don't really use gil for anything.I might buy a weapon here or there and I do not care for glammer really. What is gil mainly good for?
Gil is mostly used for buying items to cast glamours and look pretty!
When you hit 80, most people buy the upgradeable Exarch crafted gear which on my server goes for between 75k-100k-500k gil each depending on the slot type and market hijinx.
Then again you can just get them crafted or craft them yourself if you can.
In the Doman Enclave, you can also trade in items for gratuity money, up to 40k every week!
The money bags you get from quests give the cleanest, wholest amount of money
"If you want to get your hands on the best sacks, you got to be ready for things to get hard" i think i read that on a fortune cookie .. or some place else.
I've been playing for years and don't really watch your videos for the advice, but because you're hilarious.
Just dont use gil to buy, and you'll have a built up of gils in no time
You are a delight to watch explain things about this game you seem to enjoy so much
I just spent my last 100k gil on glamour only 10 minutes before i saw this lmao
