    If you really want to scrape every gil you can from the market board, some of the orchestrion rolls frequently drop below the sell price so you can just buy them up and immediately sell to a vendor for profit. I have seen some listed for as low as 10 when a vendor will buy it for 150

      Anything on the marketboard for equal or less than it sells to a vendor....if you have the Doman Enclave maxed, you can get 40k gil per week. I stocked up on Demimateria III being sold at same price as what vendors pay. Once I unload it all at the Doman Enclave, I'll make 500k profit.
      Think of it as investing in gold. The value will never drop because it always has a set value to vendors and Doman Enclave will always pay twice that.
      Granted, that's not going to work for new players. But hoard the Allagan pieces you get and when you unlock Doman Enclave in Stormblood, you've got double what they're worth.

      @@ninjafoxgamesgeekery I was going to do this, go through and buy up all of the under-valued items on the marketboard and flip them at the Enclave afterward, but then I realized; you wouldn't be making the full 40k, you'd have to factor in how much you spent on the items. Granted, depending on the price of the things you're buying, you can still be making a pretty good profit, but you're still spending money to get money. In the end, I just prefer to gather/craft/dungeon run for items and gear that I can sell to Doman without having to spent my own gil to get them.

    As someone who's been playing FFXIV for 9+ years (and a master crafter/gatherer that entire time), I can say with absolute certainty that there are NO "closely held secrets" to making gil. I'm working on my third billion (which is no big deal after 9 frigging years), and the ONLY secret is lots of grinding and hard work. You can no longer mine HQ mats, but people will STILL buy stacks (99) of craftable mats (ores, lumber) and if you quick synth into lumber and ores, you'd be surprised how many HQ you can get (and resell). And don't forget to use your retainers, especially when you can farm shards and crystals with them. And remember, it's just a game.

      @@kona1443IMO, there are no “secrets” to making Gil. That implies that people will never know about them until someone shares their secret, but that’s just not how it works. The reality is that you didn’t know your “secret” until you tried the thing. It’s just market research. Anyone who’s serious about making Gil will stumble upon your “secrets” overtime.

      I agree, no secrets.I tell people all the time my *secrets* but they just want a quick fix. I have closer to 40 bill, and all I can say if I crafted a lot, had 100 mill at end of 1.0, they took 90% off that for ARR and it took me to 2015 to make my first bill, purely crafting and gathering. I stay off the level 90 botted/fought over items, prefer to sell the mats instead but as we know most people will never craft lower level items even though the profit is usually close to 100% as the mats are freely venture farmed.

    Here's how I got my first few million as a sprout joining when everyone came from WoW to FF. Check the weekly easy 80 score for the Gold Saucer fashion weekly. Sometimes easily bought gear can help get you to 80, other times its dyes. Buy the gear/dye that you'd need to get to 80 and sell on the MB.

    i have a tipp i can add:
    if your a new player -> check EVERY ITEM you get, if u can imagine someone buying that (specially revealing stuff) DONT use it so u can sell it at the marked board (once u put it on u cant sell it anymore) there are alot of them that sell for alot of gil, specially the "grey" ones. sometimes you get basicly a whole set of new items (like a catchup mechanic) with new gear sometimes u can even choose on what class u wanna use that (a class like dancer will prolly have better selling glams than a warrior for example) i sold alot of that dancer quest gear personally.
    also you have prolly some points somewhere that u can use to buy stuff to sell, i just came back from 15month break and the currency to buy 620 items with is like 200-300k for 2000/2000 if u just buy somehting with it to sell. (and i remember before my break it was like waaaaaaaaaaay more but now noone has use for most of this stuff) u can prolly even use the old lvl 80 currency to buy some random shit and just sell it to the vendoor for 20-50k or somehting for 2000/2000 idk

      There was a Fashion Report once that required Hempen Bracers. I went to go purchase it through the Marketboard and noticed it said, "Shop Selling Price: 280gil". Pausing for a second, I got off the board and looked it up. Turns out the Vendor not more than 10ft from the board I was standing at sold it for that price. Bought 1 for me and another to sell on the Market. It sold for close to 16K. I sold around 20 of them at varying prices from 10K-18K before the price dropped to 1K and I didn't bother after that. Every time I got the notification that it sold I said, "you can't be serious."

    While these methods can work at certain situations, they're inheritably flawed, as they all rely on MB price fluctuations and you can always count of some jerk to flood the mb crashing the market price for that item.
    I'd say the most guaranteed way to make a profit early on as a new player was just doing the MSQ that showers new players with tons of gil, doing daily roulettes that give straight up cash and completing whatever you have on the challenge long that's easy enough or you were going to do anyway. Leve trade-ins is another guaranteed way to make a profit, you just have to check what leves are available to you and which ones are most worth your time. Completing the weekly WT book also gives a guaranteed 10k gil plus other items. If you can join a map party, you will make gil just helping with battle, even if you don't have any maps of your own, the game automatically distributes gil to every participant, regardless of the actual drops. Also all the side quests that most people don't bother with, most of them give HQ gear that can sell on mb pretty nicely or used to save you buying new gear. Sending your retainers out to get random mats that people are too lazy to go get themselves is another good one, but you'd have to check which mats sell better and that changes from time to time.
    I think I made my first million as a new player just by running daily roulettes, it's fun seeing the sheer gil amount that drops at the end of each duty without having to do anything special or complicated.

    Got 99 for like 140. Split into stacks. Sell them for 720 a stack.
    Sold them in tow days.

  • @ThaPinkGuy
    @ThaPinkGuy ปีที่แล้ว

    My "secret" to making gil in this game is the pay-to-win aspect of the game: retainers. Sending retainers out on quick ventures requires no gear and only that you check up on them once every hour. 1-50 they seem very inconsistent bringing you back awful gear and common items which can sell for 100 gil to 2k but just once in a while, they come back with an item worth 100-200k. Below 50 they can't sustain themselves with ventures and handing in the gear for seals to buy venture coins but 50-60 you start breaking even and 70+ you start getting more seals than you spend. At max level they can come back with venture coffers which can contain pure white or jet black dye worth between 300-600k each. Yup, just randomly you can make 1.2mil instantly.
    Just a disclaimer, they take a long time to level up and you can purchase skips for them and most importantly they are expensive and directly attached to your FF subscription. Getting all 8 more than doubles my FF subscription but they are account wide so... In other words I have 80 retainers and it takes about 30 minutes to log in, see what the 10 on that character got me, log out, log back in, see what the 10 for the next character got me... Yes the gameplay is tedious and somewhat lonely but I got a lot of gil.
    Basic rundown of what you need to:
    Join a Grand Company (Maelstrom is the worst because of the 2 loading screens but evens out if you get to max rank because of teleport tickets)
    Hire your retainers (Yes you need to manually make every character and go through all 3 stages each time; race/looks, name, and personality).
    Do the quest An Ill-conceived Venture which is specific to your Grand Company
    Give your retainer a job (your main job, their max level is your max level)
    Get to at least to Sergeant Second Class in your Grand Company
    That's the minimum you need to do to get started however the first 50 levels are basically you babysitting the retainers because they don't bring back gear worth enough for the cost to send them out. You can get round this by doing your roulettes however if you can spare a few thousand gil you can look for gear to hand in that's cheap. Here is a quick list of key words to look up to find cheap gear: Palladium, Chromite, True Griffin, Silvergrace, Black Willow, Nightsteel, Torreya, Facet. Each of these are old gear worth at least 1k seals each to hand in however you can get them from anywhere to 1k gil to 10k gil. This is how my FC of 2 people was the first to get to rank 30 on the new servers that opened up on EU.
    Finally, their max level is your max level so if you want you can never do campaign on your alts and get them to 90 therefore getting access to venture coffers.
    There are more advanced things you can do which I'm in the process of doing: switching all your combat retainers to gatherers and prepping for the next expansion because they can bring back a decent amount of items every 40-60 mins if you gear them so instead of wasting a few hours doing fates for gems or gathering new materials to buy the latest rare materials you can just send them out to gather it and in a literal hour you can make anywhere from 20k+ because you had 1 retainer come back with a resource no one can get yet.
    Oh also if you're willing to commit to a entire year of your FF life you can do Free Company Submarines and get 4mil a week for basically free but this is a new player guide and highly recommend against that. It stunts your social life in the game because your character is locked to that FC and it also requires a house. If you ever wonder why there are so many people buying small FC houses that's why, each one is about 4mil gil a week. That's pure gil as well which is why the inflation in this game is insane.
