I haven't paid for a teleports in over a year. Simply do the Masked Carnival blue mage weeklies and use those seals to buy teleport tickets. Takes 5-10 minutes per week. Before I knew it I had over 1000 teleport tickets. You can also go to your teleport tab and set teleports to automatically use a ticket, removing the dialogue box. You can also set it so only teleports at a specific gil cost and above use a ticket. For example, setting it to 500 gil and up makes it so the cheap city and fc house teleports dont waste tickets.
Awesome tip! I need to do more Carnival (I usually forget about it!) but you're absolutely right! And setting at 500 is a good idea! I had mine set a bit higher, but I think I should lower it. I really appreciate you taking the time to share! 💜
@@emilyspector2728 You can do the unlock quest at BLU level 50. if you have max level friends, attack high level mobs and have them finish them off. its the fastest way to level. just make sure you are NOT in a party with them when doing this.
How I made my gil: 1.) Maps with a small group (about 4-5 so everyone is likely to get loot) 2.) Collectables. You'd need only your botanist leveled and your Cul at max with decent gear for the Cul. There's a collectable CUL craft you can do and the ingredients for it requires you to only collect things. No killing for leather, no mining, no trading anything. Just gather. Gather a whoooooooole lot and spend time crafting them and turning them in for White Scripts. Exchange those for crafting materia and sell it. I did this when materia was worth about like ~10-12k each. Within a few hours (I only play for about 3-4 hours every couple of days) you can make crazy gil. If you're able to play longer then you're guaranteed to make ~1m+ in a day. Also, if a patch comes out that introduces new crafting armor then you're swimming in gil. Hope this helps!
Thank you for the ideas! They are great for people with crafters and gatherers who are able to get maps for free and craft collectables! I appreciate you taking the time to let me know! 💜
unironically this is the best "work the market board" tip of all time. I'd also add that you can get hella materia from gatherer/crafter beast tribes, and even during the long spell between patches blue and green materia always sell well.
I like the video, since it shows a lot of the basics. One way that I make gil is through retainer quick explorations. Retainers bring back a new random item, every hour, in exchange for 2 venture tokens. Some of these items are cheap junk, but others, such as glam clothing or housing furnishings can sell for hundreds of thousands of gil on the market. The green and blue items that they bring can be traded to the grand company for ventures, which fund future expeditions. The other items can be used, desynthesised into valuable materials or sold outright for gil. The higher level the retainer, the better the loot is. The better your retainers' gear (item score total), the better the chance they will bring back HQ goods or venture coffers, containing rare dyes. I think that retainers are a highly overlooked, yet very lucrative source of income, in game. For example, in just 3 months, I have earned well over 60 million gil through my retainers.. no crafting, harvesting or farming.
Thank you! 💜Absolutely, retainers are fantastic! That's all wonderful info! I already did a video on retainers, so I didn't want to include it in this one. I have 10 of them myself, though it's one of my resolutions to try to cut that number down (or at least decrease what they are all carrying!) ^_^' Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
That's an excellent tip for sprouts about buying anything from the marketboard without checking the many vendors first. There are a lot of items that are sold for way above the amount it would cost from a vendor and unsuspecting newbies don't realise initially, haha like me. I got 1 million gil for joining a new server and pretty much wasted it on gear and stuff from the marketboard. I have however made more than a million back now selling things myself. Thank you for your videos, they may be short but they often have as much info as any of the 30 minute ones and more importantly are easy to understand without information overload.
I think most of us learn that one through experience. But once we get to the stage where we start selling level 1 pickaxes for 20x what they are worth, we start to learn to check before we buy! 🤣 And thank you so much for the feedback! 💜That is exactly the niche I was going for, so I'm glad I'm right on track!
Just found your video. Super appreciate the tips. I unfortunately need quite a sum of gil cuz I decided to RP as a masochist and attempt the ARR Zodiac weapon quest line. One of the steps requiring a small fortune for several materials I also had no idea how to get Atheryte tickets so I spend quite a bit regularly on teleports
You're very welcome! I'm so glad it helped! 💜 lmao! I am stunned by how many people are going after the ARR relics... That was quite the feat even back in the days of ARR when it was the only content to do! Now there are so many other things you could be doing. But I wish you the very best in your quest! 😄
Thank you very much! I'm glad it's helpful! 💜I totally understand! If you add these subtle things in and just continue to fight, you'll probably make more gil on average than people who are trying all the 'get rich quick tips'. Good luck!
I've never actually got any aetheryte tickets, however my teleports to major centres are all pretty cheap anyway. Stuck the free teleport from the 2 factor authentication on Kugane, Return on the Crystarium (which offers free transport to key zones on the first, Mor Dhona and another zone), have a house in Ishgard, an apartment in Gridania and the discounted teleport rate on Limsa. Travel to Ul-Dah is always free in Eorzea if you go via the Gold Saucer. The Endwalker zones add a little extra cost, but it's only 300 by Air or Sea from at least one of the above. I just fly the rest. Maybe a bit of extra work, but I like to see some of the world rather than skipping over it all.
That's a great idea! 💜When I was playing FFXI it used to force you to take the airship to get to some areas (you had to wait for it to arrive, and then sit through the trip every time, until it landed). Because it wasn't instanced, you could see the world below you in real time as it flew. I really enjoyed that! It was only mildly annoying sometimes when you wanted to get somewhere asap, whereas most of the time I just enjoyed the ride. I think sometimes it's great to just relax and look at the scenery. Thank you for sharing!
@@gamer_debbie I remember reading about that at the time and thinking it sounded like the best thing ever. I had so much free time 😅 (Also, apparently this was a feature planned for 14 1.0? Wild!)
What helped me with saving was using my gatherers and crafters instead of the mkb, since materials actually have extremely jacked prices, ESPECIALLY in the later exp zones. Dont spend the 100k on that orchestrion roll you want, take the 40 min to make them yourself and save that money. Time is money, but money is money too :)
That is true!😊 It's sometimes too easy to go the instant-gratification route and just buy it for whatever someone has listed... but that money your spending has to be made back somehow if you want to have it to buy the next thing you don't have time to make. You're better off just doing it! And often, if you have excess product/material you can sell that and make some money!
First absolutely spot on! Second some observations from a player with a main and an alt: When I really try to make gill I make about 450k a day - that's with retainers going full blast, crafting a *few* highvalue items, gathering 1-2 easy to get bestseller items and _just playing the game!_ When I just play the game I get almost 200k a day. Takes 2-4 hours a day. On my alt - currently post-ShB MSQ - I get about 150k a day from just playing the game. The tip about Aetherite Tickets is gold! That saves not just gill but also _time_ since I tend to just teleport, even if I could fly to where ever in just a few minutes. It just all adds up. :)
Thank you so much! 💜I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment with your feedback! I try to keep my advice as simple and as practical as possible for new/casual players, so I'm glad I was able to achieve that! I don't often keep track of gil myself, so I'm glad your findings correlate with what I assumed was the case. As long as I kept my bank around 15-20 million, I really just felt I had enough for anything I might have needed, and I hope this advice will help players get (and stay) around that mark too. Anything above and beyond that they will have to go to some of the extreme measures outlined in other videos.
I get most of my gil by selling lv 80 maps for 8 players. Sure, prices may vary, but it stacks up since it can be done daily. And on fridays the demand is always high. I made some calculations. You can get 110 seals each day plus 100 per week from the hunt board, netting a total of 870 per week in each expansion. These can be exchanged to 174 teleport tickets. It can be done in both HW and SB, so 348 in total. After a few weeks you won't be paying for teleports anymore ^^ Sorry, was a bit long^^' One more tip is to check on which market the items are sold on the MB and where taxes are lowered, so usually 2% instead of 5%. If MB says 10,000 then you pay 10,200 instead of 10,500 and that too adds up.
Thank you so much for the info! I appreciate you taking the time to add it! 💜 As soon as I started buying Aetheryte tickets, I realized how much I was spending on teleports... It's definitely a good way to go!
Weekly blue mage carnival adds over a 100 aetherite tickets worth of seals a week. Also the teleport settings on when to use the tickets makes a good bit of difference. I got mine set to 99 Gil. Any teleport under this amount is paid with gil. Anything over is paid with a ticket.
Also if you don’t have the atherite tickets you can still set a handful of favorite places so you only pay half price. Places you go often or weekly are good places to set these to. You can also get cheaper teleporting for 24 hours if your free company has the reduced rates action.
Those are both true too! I have my favourite places set to the the starting cities, my free destination set as Eulmore, and my 'return' set to the doman enclave (because bozja). And we have the 'reduced rates' buff up whenever we are doing things like maps or hunts. Awesome advice! 💜
@@gamer_debbie I have one of mine set to the crystarium for nut hunts, crafting/gathering stories, etc. and another set to idyllshire for weekly Chloe books. My home is currently set to Mor Dohna because I’ve been zodiac relic weapon grinding and am on the step with the books. I think my other one is set to Kugane because I was doing some stuff there for a while or it’s Foundation because I was doing firmament and astro quests. 🤔 I should really update them based on what I’m currently doing LOL
If you have leveled your crafters you can get items to repair your own gear for basically free from company seals and wolf marks. even if you dont have them leveled you can still buy and sell them for Gill. The adventurer in need bonus has no limit on obtaining it, so as long as you can match the role needed you can farm the 11k from it from alliance raid roulettes. accounting for chests in the raid thats another 4.5k gill (minimum depending on which expansions raids you end up in). Getting the gear from the chests can also be sold to your free company for seals to buy more of the self-repair items. if you have the roles at 71 or above you also get combat materia trade items you can then sell that materia for money (or meld it). and while you probably shouldnt you can force the duty finder to give you the CT raids which commonly go for 20 mins each. assuming things go badly or you get into longer raids, its at least 30k per hour.
All wonderful information, thank you very much for sharing! 💜 It took me a while to figure out that you can repair your own gear, but once I discovered the advantages to doing it, I never pay for repairs! I personally think doing roulettes is more fun than travelling from server to server playing the MB, too! 🤭
I think the people complaining about other guides saying the same thing only watched the first part about the making gil and didn't watch the second part about the not spending gil. Yes the first part gives a lot of info that other guides have shared (challenge logs, roulettes, etc), the second half of the video is something that most gil making guides never touch upon. While these are tips that I'm already doing (mostly), your video is appreciated. Don't let the negative comments get you down.
There are some good tips in this video, especially the one about Aetherytes. Here are some extra tips: Get your retainers to max, or near max level. Put some decent gear on them and have them continuously collect an item from hunting ventures that is selling decently (at least 400-500 gil per item). It takes one hour for the venture to complete. The max you can get per retainer is 15 items, but 15x400 = 6000. Multiply that by 2, and you're talking about 12k every hour. Just send them out when you log in, when you finish a roulette/raid, or when you're going to log out. Usually I just continue collecting these items until I get 1000, and just sell them in bulk. When you complete roulettes, you also get the previous tier's tomestones which can be traded at the tomestone vendor for "other" items. These are used for crafting, so they always have value. You can get an easy 300-500k for 2000 tomestones worth of items. You can also complete the unreal trial twice every week which can be used to play the Faux Hollows minigame. Completing this minigame enough times will earn you enough currency to purchase one of the exclusive minions offered by the Faux Commander. These minions do actually sell for 4+ million each. I've sold some for 7+ million. Additionally, if you want even more aetheryte tickets for free teleports, you can also level your blue mage. Eventually blue mages unlock the Masked Carnivale in the city of Ul'Dah. In the Masked Carnivale, you can complete arena-style weekly challenges that earn you tons of Allied Seals (and gil). The gold star weekly reward gives 300 allied seals, and 10000 gil. The silver star reward gives 150 allied seals, 5000 gil. The blue star reward gives 100 allied seals, 1000 gil. Since employing these methods I've been able to earn well over 50 million gil in a few months.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share some of your tips! 💜 I've only done a bit of the Carnivale, and I haven't done Faux Hollows at all (though I really want to because of the items available!) Definitely great ways to make some gil!
@@gamer_debbie Carnivale is great. You need to have skills to cover all 6 elements (fire, water, lightning, ice, earth, and wind). You also need 6 enfeeblements, usually I just use bad breath, some freeze ability, and a stun ability for good measure. One last thing you'll need is an ability to interrupt enemy cast bars. With these things you can typically complete the weekly challenges. It's not a ton of time investment and it's pretty fun since it's fairly different from normal content. Faux Hollows can be a little frustrating because the player skill level is all over the place for unreal trials. If you can consistently clear extreme trials then you can clear unreal trials, they're quite literally the same difficulty. For slightly less frustration just make a PF with an item level requirement closer to savage gear best in slot. Everyone gets synced down to min IL for the fight, but the higher item level typically translates to higher skilled players.
My simple, low effort way of making gil involves sending my retainers on specific items every 40-60 minutes. There's various items that sell for a surprisingly good amount of gil, even low level items. For example, acidic secretions (level 23 venture I think?) sell well because they are used for Firmament crafting. I sell stacks of 99 roughly once or twice a week for something like 600 gil per item on my server. (I undercut when needed.) It won't make you a millionaire overnight, but it'll make you a millionaire over time for very low effort. The only requirement is playing the game all day long to resend retainers on ventures. :p Anyway, I have a few items that I keep a constant supply of. Some require a higher level on the retainers (vampire sap, gelato flesh), but some are low level like the acidic secretions. I also do archaeornis skins, and others. Also, because I do ocean fishing anyway, I use my gatherer scrips on fishing bait. That only works if your server has a lot of fishers going for the Big Fish title and little competition on bait sellers though. (My current server, Adamantoise, doesn't work well for this, but my previous server, Famfrit, worked wonders last year.) Some of the common baits for big fishes in older expansions include blue bobbits, giant crane flies and stonefly larvae. This is a slower moneymaker though and I don't recommend it if your server has a lot of competition and/or not many buyers. I just do it because I happen to get a lot of those scrips from ocean fishing and I already spent them on the unique stuff. Since the baits don't sell well on my servers, I have a few stacks of 999 now and it's just piling up because they don't sell much on Adamantoise. That said, newer fishes of the expansion may see a big rise on the newer baits when a new patch drops. For instance, the price of mayflies skyrocketed when 6.2 dropped, then it progressively went down as most big fish hunters like myself were done with the new big fish. Sorry for long-winded comment. I just figured I'd share some of my low effort moneymaking techniques. Efficiency will vary from server to server.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share! 💜 Those are fantastic ideas! There's definitely a lot of value in lower-level crafting items... Sometimes I just go out and farm yak or diremites just to gather items to sell. They sell fast, and really well! But retainers can do the job just as well, and you can be doing other things. ^_^ And if people are like me, I'm always looking for things to spend my gathering scrips on, because I ocean fish daily.
I wanna add something I think is good to keep in mind. I got reminded from reading the comments. Spending time to farm something instead of buying it instantly to save gil is a false sense of saving gil a lot of the time. Time is money as some say. Exactly! So it is better to spend your time to craft/farm whatever gives you the most gil and then buy the rest with the excess profit. There is no reason to spend time on farming and crafting items that has a low gil per hour when you could rather spend that time doing something lucrative. Ofc, if you instead of being able to do that most lucrative thing, you are stuck being locked out from that content for whatever reason. Perhaps the market is overflowing of that item, the game doesn't allow you to do more of that this week or whatever it might be, then ofc you should/could do the 2nd most lucrative thing, or perhaps you have the material from passively doing things, then go ahead and craft it. But otherwise you are actively losing potential gil. This is ofc if you want to be as efficient as possible. You gotta do what is fun for you. It's the most important part of making gil, otherwise you'll just start hating it and giving up. TLDR: Don't waste your time on farming for items that have low gil per hour and instead use your high gil per hour methods profit to buy those items. Unless that content is fun for you.
Good advice, thank you! 💜 This is absolutely true! I'm not going to spend time crafting ingots I can buy from a FC merchant or tribal vendor, regardless of how much gil I can save, because it takes way too much time (and crystals, and they are worth money too!) Thank you so much for sharing!
It's okay, i just boost a class for the 500k gil. LOL but on a serious note, as a new player coming into the game and also spending hours browsing these supposed gil making guides. They always show something i either can't do, need to invest a LOT of time to get to that point or just grind for. Which makes sense, i'm not new to grinding in games for money but rarely do they really state something worth remembering. Appreciate the video, i'll continue doing my farm runs and incorporate some of what you've mentioned. Then if all else fails, as a new player i can boost a job. Heh
I make most of my money winning glam contests and gamba at clubs. I hope people pay attention to the not spending money part of this guide, its important to not waste gil.
Awesome! I've never tried either of those things. lol And thank you! 💜Even if someone did get a windfall of gil, it's very easy to lose it 1 million at a time if you're spending it unnecessarily.
@@gamer_debbie Oh, i know its easy to lose gil. I had a friend go broke trying to keep his gear up to date while leveling. Im like "how, you get gear for free"?
@@gamer_debbie Mine says " You are not authorized to participate in the hunt". I'm level 80 , Dragoon , Second Storm Lieutenant. I finished Maelstorm hunt Log 1&2. Do you have to do all the hunt Log?
Clearly this isn't a video to help people get to gil cap, but a video for new players to be able to afford the basic glams/small homes/materials they need to enjoy the game. But thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 💜
@gamer_debbie oh apologies i know its not that video, i just realized I was unconsciously using the methods you mentioned in the video and referring to why I reached my limit so quickly, Free trial player who forgets to use gil
@@LunarNar Oh sorry! I apologise for misunderstanding your comment! 💜With that context it makes a lot more sense! lol Great job being responsible with gil, now treat yourself to some glams or something!
but but but but.....those glammer boots i neeeedd them i had like 700k and got some boots for 560k because till i reach that level with my crafter to make those with the extra books you have to unlock takes ages i rather look good now right? right? 😅😭
Nothing in this video is new. All the other gil videos cover this stuff. However, if you don't have time to farm gil, then you don't have time for daily roulettes either. They can take upwards of 2-4 hours a day.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to give you any new information in this video. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and I hope I can do better next time! 💜
@@gamer_debbie don’t feel too down (or down at all tbh), this was a great little video that mentioned things I’ve rarely- if ever, heard! Sometimes people might be upset bc they try half of something and it doesn’t work out for them
If you're trying to get 300-500k gil quickly... If you have a character at level 90 or higher, I suggest map portals. You can get that amount of gil in 2 hours if you get a party finder up. Otherwise, if you have crafters/gatherers you can take a look at what's in demand and try to get a bunch of items up for quick sale. If you have the firmament unlocked, the Diadem is a great place to farm materials. If nothing else, make sure you have your Challenge Log unlocked and try to knock out as many challenges each week as possible for the extra gil - and get into doing daily/weekly hunts for their rewards. You can do it!
I wanted to mention maps, but the problem is it's not at all guaranteed. Especially if you don't have levelled gatherers and have to purchase from the MB. You could buy 3 at (~11k gil each) and not get a single portal. But if you get lucky, you can make a lot! They are definitely a better option when free though! 💜
If you're talking about the one in the video, it's the Lunar Envoy's Gambison of Maiming. If you're referring to the one in the thumbnail, it's the Virtu Dancer's Casaque. (Dyed) I hope this helps! 💜
Look, I definitely need millions of gil. Lapdances from male Roegadyn don't pay for themselves, nor do the subsequent months of intense physical therapy.
@@gamer_debbie I pity you and your poor unshattered pelvic bone for missing out on the rich hidden narrative in Roegadances. It's almost as bad as skipping cutscenes.
I always feel so guilty watching these videos with people doing all this stuff for gil, meanwhile I just send out my submarines for treasure to sell to NPCs for nearly 500k per day. Granted the investment required to get to this point is pretty insane, and requires you having your own FC, but still.
Don't feel guilty! I'm just trying to help new/casual players get to a cozy place of 10 - 20 million so they can afford the things they need when they want them. And that's a pretty easy base to hit just doing the things I've mentioned. If anyone wants to be 'Eorzea' rich, they'll have to put in the effort to make it, like you did! 💜
Truth. 💜 If 20k people take the same market advice, it will be useless. Maps only make you money if you get them for free. And Gil, like everything else, has to be worked for. You can put in minimal effort each day and gain 2-3 million a week, or you can go nuts and aim for what the other videos promise. But I haven't seen one of them yet without risk or chance involved, so I was moved to action.
@@gamer_debbie I mean. Its mostly seeing if you can make a quick buck on the side off youtube. Helping peeps is just a side effect. Here have another comment towards that goal.
even if you only do the weekly B ranks for ARR, HW and SB you get 15k gill and enough atherite tickets for 60 free teleports. (unfortunatly ShB and EW trade shops dont sell the tickets)
I haven't paid for a teleports in over a year. Simply do the Masked Carnival blue mage weeklies and use those seals to buy teleport tickets. Takes 5-10 minutes per week. Before I knew it I had over 1000 teleport tickets. You can also go to your teleport tab and set teleports to automatically use a ticket, removing the dialogue box.

Awesome tip! I need to do more Carnival (I usually forget about it!) but you're absolutely right! And setting at 500 is a good idea! I had mine set a bit higher, but I think I should lower it. I really appreciate you taking the time to share! 💜
@@gamer_debbie noice! I have mine set at 100. I still get more teleport tickets, from the masked carnival, than I use in a week. ❤
Wait…where do you get this?? I just started BLU and I am only lvl17 lol.
@@emilyspector2728 You can do the unlock quest at BLU level 50. if you have max level friends, attack high level mobs and have them finish them off. its the fastest way to level. just make sure you are NOT in a party with them when doing this.

1.) Maps with a small group (about 4-5 so everyone is likely to get loot)
2.) Collectables.
You'd need only your botanist leveled and your Cul at max with decent gear for the Cul. There's a collectable CUL craft you can do and the ingredients for it requires you to only collect things. No killing for leather, no mining, no trading anything. Just gather. Gather a whoooooooole lot and spend time crafting them and turning them in for White Scripts.

Within a few hours (I only play for about 3-4 hours every couple of days) you can make crazy gil. If you're able to play longer then you're guaranteed to make ~1m+ in a day. Also, if a patch comes out that introduces new crafting armor then you're swimming in gil.
Hope this helps!

Because it wasn't instanced, you could see the world below you in real time as it flew. I really enjoyed that! It was only mildly annoying sometimes when you wanted to get somewhere asap, whereas most of the time I just enjoyed the ride. I think sometimes it's great to just relax and look at the scenery. Thank you for sharing!
@@gamer_debbie I remember reading about that at the time and thinking it sounded like the best thing ever. I had so much free time 😅 (Also, apparently this was a feature planned for 14 1.0? Wild!)
What helped me with saving was using my gatherers and crafters instead of the mkb, since materials actually have extremely jacked prices, ESPECIALLY in the later exp zones. Dont spend the 100k on that orchestrion roll you want, take the 40 min to make them yourself and save that money. Time is money, but money is money too :)
That is true!😊 It's sometimes too easy to go the instant-gratification route and just buy it for whatever someone has listed... but that money your spending has to be made back somehow if you want to have it to buy the next thing you don't have time to make. You're better off just doing it! And often, if you have excess product/material you can sell that and make some money!
@@gamer_debbie exactly!
Do your retainers able to farm items like Zoisite, Ilmenite, etc?! If so how did you get them to do that?
First absolutely spot on!
Second some observations from a player with a main and an alt: When I really try to make gill I make about 450k a day - that's with retainers going full blast, crafting a *few* highvalue items, gathering 1-2 easy to get bestseller items and _just playing the game!_ When I just play the game I get almost 200k a day. Takes 2-4 hours a day. On my alt - currently post-ShB MSQ - I get about 150k a day from just playing the game.
The tip about Aetherite Tickets is gold! That saves not just gill but also _time_ since I tend to just teleport, even if I could fly to where ever in just a few minutes. It just all adds up. :)
Thank you so much! 💜I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment with your feedback! I try to keep my advice as simple and as practical as possible for new/casual players, so I'm glad I was able to achieve that! I don't often keep track of gil myself, so I'm glad your findings correlate with what I assumed was the case. As long as I kept my bank around 15-20 million, I really just felt I had enough for anything I might have needed, and I hope this advice will help players get (and stay) around that mark too. Anything above and beyond that they will have to go to some of the extreme measures outlined in other videos.
I get most of my gil by selling lv 80 maps for 8 players. Sure, prices may vary, but it stacks up since it can be done daily. And on fridays the demand is always high.
I made some calculations. You can get 110 seals each day plus 100 per week from the hunt board, netting a total of 870 per week in each expansion. These can be exchanged to 174 teleport tickets. It can be done in both HW and SB, so 348 in total. After a few weeks you won't be paying for teleports anymore ^^ Sorry, was a bit long^^'
One more tip is to check on which market the items are sold on the MB and where taxes are lowered, so usually 2% instead of 5%. If MB says 10,000 then you pay 10,200 instead of 10,500 and that too adds up.
Thank you so much for the info! I appreciate you taking the time to add it! 💜 As soon as I started buying Aetheryte tickets, I realized how much I was spending on teleports... It's definitely a good way to go!
Weekly blue mage carnival adds over a 100 aetherite tickets worth of seals a week.
Also the teleport settings on when to use the tickets makes a good bit of difference. I got mine set to 99 Gil. Any teleport under this amount is paid with gil. Anything over is paid with a ticket.
You can also earn grand company aetheryte passes by running squad missions, weekly. These take you to your GC hall, from anywhere.
Also if you don’t have the atherite tickets you can still set a handful of favorite places so you only pay half price. Places you go often or weekly are good places to set these to.
You can also get cheaper teleporting for 24 hours if your free company has the reduced rates action.
Those are both true too! I have my favourite places set to the the starting cities, my free destination set as Eulmore, and my 'return' set to the doman enclave (because bozja). And we have the 'reduced rates' buff up whenever we are doing things like maps or hunts. Awesome advice! 💜
@@gamer_debbie I have one of mine set to the crystarium for nut hunts, crafting/gathering stories, etc. and another set to idyllshire for weekly Chloe books. My home is currently set to Mor Dohna because I’ve been zodiac relic weapon grinding and am on the step with the books. I think my other one is set to Kugane because I was doing some stuff there for a while or it’s Foundation because I was doing firmament and astro quests. 🤔 I should really update them based on what I’m currently doing LOL
If you have leveled your crafters you can get items to repair your own gear for basically free from company seals and wolf marks. even if you dont have them leveled you can still buy and sell them for Gill.
The adventurer in need bonus has no limit on obtaining it, so as long as you can match the role needed you can farm the 11k from it from alliance raid roulettes. accounting for chests in the raid thats another 4.5k gill (minimum depending on which expansions raids you end up in). Getting the gear from the chests can also be sold to your free company for seals to buy more of the self-repair items. if you have the roles at 71 or above you also get combat materia trade items you can then sell that materia for money (or meld it). and while you probably shouldnt you can force the duty finder to give you the CT raids which commonly go for 20 mins each. assuming things go badly or you get into longer raids, its at least 30k per hour.
All wonderful information, thank you very much for sharing! 💜 It took me a while to figure out that you can repair your own gear, but once I discovered the advantages to doing it, I never pay for repairs! I personally think doing roulettes is more fun than travelling from server to server playing the MB, too! 🤭
I think the people complaining about other guides saying the same thing only watched the first part about the making gil and didn't watch the second part about the not spending gil. Yes the first part gives a lot of info that other guides have shared (challenge logs, roulettes, etc), the second half of the video is something that most gil making guides never touch upon.
While these are tips that I'm already doing (mostly), your video is appreciated. Don't let the negative comments get you down.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback, and your support! 💜
There are some good tips in this video, especially the one about Aetherytes. Here are some extra tips:
Get your retainers to max, or near max level. Put some decent gear on them and have them continuously collect an item from hunting ventures that is selling decently (at least 400-500 gil per item). It takes one hour for the venture to complete. The max you can get per retainer is 15 items, but 15x400 = 6000. Multiply that by 2, and you're talking about 12k every hour. Just send them out when you log in, when you finish a roulette/raid, or when you're going to log out. Usually I just continue collecting these items until I get 1000, and just sell them in bulk.
When you complete roulettes, you also get the previous tier's tomestones which can be traded at the tomestone vendor for "other" items. These are used for crafting, so they always have value. You can get an easy 300-500k for 2000 tomestones worth of items.
You can also complete the unreal trial twice every week which can be used to play the Faux Hollows minigame. Completing this minigame enough times will earn you enough currency to purchase one of the exclusive minions offered by the Faux Commander. These minions do actually sell for 4+ million each. I've sold some for 7+ million.
Additionally, if you want even more aetheryte tickets for free teleports, you can also level your blue mage. Eventually blue mages unlock the Masked Carnivale in the city of Ul'Dah. In the Masked Carnivale, you can complete arena-style weekly challenges that earn you tons of Allied Seals (and gil). The gold star weekly reward gives 300 allied seals, and 10000 gil. The silver star reward gives 150 allied seals, 5000 gil. The blue star reward gives 100 allied seals, 1000 gil.
Since employing these methods I've been able to earn well over 50 million gil in a few months.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share some of your tips! 💜 I've only done a bit of the Carnivale, and I haven't done Faux Hollows at all (though I really want to because of the items available!) Definitely great ways to make some gil!
@@gamer_debbie Carnivale is great. You need to have skills to cover all 6 elements (fire, water, lightning, ice, earth, and wind). You also need 6 enfeeblements, usually I just use bad breath, some freeze ability, and a stun ability for good measure. One last thing you'll need is an ability to interrupt enemy cast bars. With these things you can typically complete the weekly challenges. It's not a ton of time investment and it's pretty fun since it's fairly different from normal content.
Faux Hollows can be a little frustrating because the player skill level is all over the place for unreal trials. If you can consistently clear extreme trials then you can clear unreal trials, they're quite literally the same difficulty. For slightly less frustration just make a PF with an item level requirement closer to savage gear best in slot. Everyone gets synced down to min IL for the fight, but the higher item level typically translates to higher skilled players.
My simple, low effort way of making gil involves sending my retainers on specific items every 40-60 minutes. There's various items that sell for a surprisingly good amount of gil, even low level items. For example, acidic secretions (level 23 venture I think?) sell well because they are used for Firmament crafting. I sell stacks of 99 roughly once or twice a week for something like 600 gil per item on my server. (I undercut when needed.) It won't make you a millionaire overnight, but it'll make you a millionaire over time for very low effort. The only requirement is playing the game all day long to resend retainers on ventures. :p Anyway, I have a few items that I keep a constant supply of. Some require a higher level on the retainers (vampire sap, gelato flesh), but some are low level like the acidic secretions. I also do archaeornis skins, and others.
Also, because I do ocean fishing anyway, I use my gatherer scrips on fishing bait. That only works if your server has a lot of fishers going for the Big Fish title and little competition on bait sellers though. (My current server, Adamantoise, doesn't work well for this, but my previous server, Famfrit, worked wonders last year.) Some of the common baits for big fishes in older expansions include blue bobbits, giant crane flies and stonefly larvae. This is a slower moneymaker though and I don't recommend it if your server has a lot of competition and/or not many buyers. I just do it because I happen to get a lot of those scrips from ocean fishing and I already spent them on the unique stuff. Since the baits don't sell well on my servers, I have a few stacks of 999 now and it's just piling up because they don't sell much on Adamantoise. That said, newer fishes of the expansion may see a big rise on the newer baits when a new patch drops. For instance, the price of mayflies skyrocketed when 6.2 dropped, then it progressively went down as most big fish hunters like myself were done with the new big fish.
Sorry for long-winded comment. I just figured I'd share some of my low effort moneymaking techniques. Efficiency will vary from server to server.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share! 💜 Those are fantastic ideas! There's definitely a lot of value in lower-level crafting items... Sometimes I just go out and farm yak or diremites just to gather items to sell. They sell fast, and really well! But retainers can do the job just as well, and you can be doing other things. ^_^ And if people are like me, I'm always looking for things to spend my gathering scrips on, because I ocean fish daily.
I wanna add something I think is good to keep in mind. I got reminded from reading the comments.
Spending time to farm something instead of buying it instantly to save gil is a false sense of saving gil a lot of the time.
Time is money as some say. Exactly! So it is better to spend your time to craft/farm whatever gives you the most gil and then buy the rest with the excess profit. There is no reason to spend time on farming and crafting items that has a low gil per hour when you could rather spend that time doing something lucrative.
Ofc, if you instead of being able to do that most lucrative thing, you are stuck being locked out from that content for whatever reason. Perhaps the market is overflowing of that item, the game doesn't allow you to do more of that this week or whatever it might be, then ofc you should/could do the 2nd most lucrative thing, or perhaps you have the material from passively doing things, then go ahead and craft it.
But otherwise you are actively losing potential gil.
This is ofc if you want to be as efficient as possible. You gotta do what is fun for you. It's the most important part of making gil, otherwise you'll just start hating it and giving up.
TLDR: Don't waste your time on farming for items that have low gil per hour and instead use your high gil per hour methods profit to buy those items. Unless that content is fun for you.
Good advice, thank you! 💜 This is absolutely true! I'm not going to spend time crafting ingots I can buy from a FC merchant or tribal vendor, regardless of how much gil I can save, because it takes way too much time (and crystals, and they are worth money too!) Thank you so much for sharing!
It's okay, i just boost a class for the 500k gil. LOL but on a serious note, as a new player coming into the game and also spending hours browsing these supposed gil making guides. They always show something i either can't do, need to invest a LOT of time to get to that point or just grind for. Which makes sense, i'm not new to grinding in games for money but rarely do they really state something worth remembering. Appreciate the video, i'll continue doing my farm runs and incorporate some of what you've mentioned. Then if all else fails, as a new player i can boost a job. Heh
lmao! Thank you! I'm glad I could help add something to your day-to-day! 💜Best of luck on your farm runs!
I make most of my money winning glam contests and gamba at clubs. I hope people pay attention to the not spending money part of this guide, its important to not waste gil.
Awesome! I've never tried either of those things. lol And thank you! 💜Even if someone did get a windfall of gil, it's very easy to lose it 1 million at a time if you're spending it unnecessarily.
@@gamer_debbie Oh, i know its easy to lose gil. I had a friend go broke trying to keep his gear up to date while leveling. Im like "how, you get gear for free"?
Great video, by the way what is that minion at 1.26 minute.😮
That is the "Much-Coveted Mora" minion for getting 1 million Ocean Fishing points. I absolutely love him! He's my favourite! 💜
@@gamer_debbie he’s adorable !!!
So, you have to be in level 90 to do the hunt board?
Nope! Hunts start at level 50 with your Grand Company. Check your GC HQ for the hunt board there. 💜
@@gamer_debbie Mine says " You are not authorized to participate in the hunt".
I'm level 80 , Dragoon , Second Storm Lieutenant. I finished Maelstorm hunt Log 1&2. Do you have to do all the hunt Log?
The thumbnail has strong ooju-sama energy.|
"oh ho ho oh, you poor gil-less cat boy"
Lmao! Awesome! I didn't see it before, but now.... >.>
Oh no wonder i reach gill cap easily, I usually use my mounts too whenever
Clearly this isn't a video to help people get to gil cap, but a video for new players to be able to afford the basic glams/small homes/materials they need to enjoy the game. But thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 💜
@gamer_debbie oh apologies i know its not that video, i just realized I was unconsciously using the methods you mentioned in the video and referring to why I reached my limit so quickly, Free trial player who forgets to use gil
@@LunarNar Oh sorry! I apologise for misunderstanding your comment! 💜With that context it makes a lot more sense! lol Great job being responsible with gil, now treat yourself to some glams or something!
but but but but.....those glammer boots i neeeedd them i had like 700k and got some boots for 560k because till i reach that level with my crafter to make those with the extra books you have to unlock takes ages i rather look good now right? right? 😅😭
Yes. >.> Yes you do. There, there. 🙊
Nothing in this video is new. All the other gil videos cover this stuff. However, if you don't have time to farm gil, then you don't have time for daily roulettes either. They can take upwards of 2-4 hours a day.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to give you any new information in this video. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and I hope I can do better next time! 💜
@@gamer_debbie don’t feel too down (or down at all tbh), this was a great little video that mentioned things I’ve rarely- if ever, heard! Sometimes people might be upset bc they try half of something and it doesn’t work out for them
I want to get an apartment as quickly as possible
If you're trying to get 300-500k gil quickly... If you have a character at level 90 or higher, I suggest map portals. You can get that amount of gil in 2 hours if you get a party finder up. Otherwise, if you have crafters/gatherers you can take a look at what's in demand and try to get a bunch of items up for quick sale. If you have the firmament unlocked, the Diadem is a great place to farm materials. If nothing else, make sure you have your Challenge Log unlocked and try to knock out as many challenges each week as possible for the extra gil - and get into doing daily/weekly hunts for their rewards. You can do it!
I get most of my Gil from maps and Eureka
Those are also good sources! Thank you so much for sharing! 💜
Maps maps maps maps. Map groups are always good means of gil even if you don't get the roll for loot.
I wanted to mention maps, but the problem is it's not at all guaranteed. Especially if you don't have levelled gatherers and have to purchase from the MB. You could buy 3 at (~11k gil each) and not get a single portal. But if you get lucky, you can make a lot! They are definitely a better option when free though! 💜
What chestpiece is that that youre using?
If you're talking about the one in the video, it's the Lunar Envoy's Gambison of Maiming. If you're referring to the one in the thumbnail, it's the Virtu Dancer's Casaque. (Dyed) I hope this helps! 💜
Look, I definitely need millions of gil. Lapdances from male Roegadyn don't pay for themselves, nor do the subsequent months of intense physical therapy.
lmao! Sometimes I wonder if we even play the same game. 🤣
@@gamer_debbie I pity you and your poor unshattered pelvic bone for missing out on the rich hidden narrative in Roegadances. It's almost as bad as skipping cutscenes.
Other FFXIV Guides Won't Say This!
Literally every other guide says this...
I'm sorry! I watched quite a few of them, but clearly not all of them. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
I always feel so guilty watching these videos with people doing all this stuff for gil, meanwhile I just send out my submarines for treasure to sell to NPCs for nearly 500k per day. Granted the investment required to get to this point is pretty insane, and requires you having your own FC, but still.
Don't feel guilty! I'm just trying to help new/casual players get to a cozy place of 10 - 20 million so they can afford the things they need when they want them. And that's a pretty easy base to hit just doing the things I've mentioned. If anyone wants to be 'Eorzea' rich, they'll have to put in the effort to make it, like you did! 💜
I too have watched a lot of these vids, and thought they were JUNK.
Truth. 💜 If 20k people take the same market advice, it will be useless. Maps only make you money if you get them for free. And Gil, like everything else, has to be worked for. You can put in minimal effort each day and gain 2-3 million a week, or you can go nuts and aim for what the other videos promise. But I haven't seen one of them yet without risk or chance involved, so I was moved to action.
pretty sure every other ffxiv guide says all of these things.
My apologies! I guess I didn't see the ones you did. I'm sorry it didn't help you, but thank you for taking the time to comment. 💜
they not helfull because each guide releace over saturate and crash the market GJ
You're absolutely right. So they'll never tell you their actual money makers, because they're not that dumb. Thank you so much for commenting! 💜
100s of millions of Gil? That’s exactly what Mr. Happy has on Gilgamesh server!
Whaaaat? Must be a co-incidence! 😉
This person giving out advice on how to make 124.000 gil per 60 hours of gameplay.. bruh.
I'm just trying to help new players get their first millions, but thank you for commenting! It really helps me! 💜
@@gamer_debbie I mean. Its mostly seeing if you can make a quick buck on the side off youtube. Helping peeps is just a side effect. Here have another comment towards that goal.
HUNTS GIVE ATHERITE TICKETS?!
YES! 💜lol Definitely check those vendors cause you can save yourself a lot of gil!
even if you only do the weekly B ranks for ARR, HW and SB you get 15k gill and enough atherite tickets for 60 free teleports. (unfortunatly ShB and EW trade shops dont sell the tickets)
What perfect timing! I'm finding myself more in need of Gil with the new houses coming. If I can win the lottery that is lol
I wish you the very best of luck! 💜
@@gamer_debbie Aw thanks. You're so sweet!
@@midnightbloomofeorzea7182 Thank you! 😊 And I'll toast to that! Cheers! 🥂
