A friendly tip: Gatherers can make gil with little time investment because nobody wants to farm lower lvl items. It doesn't give you good EXP, doesn't sell for much, but the way FF14's crafting loop is such that lower tier unprocessed goods are required for every other higher tier a crafter goes up. Meaning that through all cycles of crafter grind there is a marginal & consistent demand for even the lowest level 'trash'.

This is true, and was a fantastic source of money. But on any populated server honestly there’s competition across pretty much the entire market board now, or at least was back in 5.1 when I last played. You can go to old empty SB areas, farm all day, make a little bit of money and then suddenly someone shows up to undercut, then someone else. I think most of the markets have bots and theres always another 5 or so players thinking the same thing you are. I’d say gathering not really worth the time anymore.

I'd rather spend 4000 gil on 4 items, than spend 80k on 99 items. Yeah maybe per item I'm getting "ripped off" when choosing the lower amount, but like so what? That's the whole point of convenience. You shouldn't expect to sell entire stacks because "I need space in my retainer." Shit's just gonna sit there until you break it up or sell it so low you might as well have vendored it.

When gardening was released, our LS was the first one to find the fastest way to grow nuts and cycle the garden patch to their highest efficiency where you could make 10-18(don't quote me, it's been way too long) nuts per week per patch. We never counted how much we made as a LS in total, but let's just say, the three weeks before the first guide on the forum was released and competition showed up our two man FC made roughly 400 Mil. Nuts were selling for 800k to 1.2Mil at the release of housing, thanks to everyone in the LS agreeing to never undercut a retainer on the list we shared. Financially best two month in XIV for myself and my buddy. It gave us enough money to start controlling certain parts of the marketboard every single patch up to the point where money became a meaningless number on the screen. We kept raising it for fun and I personally wanted to figure out the money cap myself and see it on my own screen. Let's just say, I succeeded somewhere around 3.1 or 3.2, a whole patchcircle after we had nothing to our names after buying our first house.

To add to this... Do the ARR and Heavensward hunts and use the currency you gain from those to buy aetheryte tickets, then go to your teleport window and use the gear to change your teleport settings. You can set a hard price cap on teleports, say, 300 gil, so that anything over that will ask if you want to use a teleport ticket. This method alone will save you loads and loads of gil on getting around in the world, and hunts can be cashed in daily and weekly with not a lot of time spent to do them. I have easily made a couple million gil just on my savings.

If you teleported on average (unlikely) 1,000 gil a location, to save 2 million gil means you'd have to have teleported 2,000 times with tickets. And that's a GENEROUS estimate. On average you teleport.. maybe ten times a day, MORE than generously estimating again unless youre one of those spambots who teleport to every single city in every single server /shouting about your rp event with totally hot single miqo babes near my location.

And usually they are.. but furniture is sooo easy to craft if you just invest a little bit of time into grabbing the mats. Red Brick Counters can be a really good source of money if the competition isn't too bad. I sometimes get undercut but I don't check often and I still sell between 5 to 10 every couple days. And selling at around 70k each while costing me essentially nothing (since most of the mats can just be bought from out of the way merchants) is a really nice ROI.

The dye thing is so good, especially if you find a popular colour and just dominate the market. Find the stack size for you as well, don't undercut someone selling stacks of 99 - sell 20 stacks of 3 or 5 for triple the price and people will buy it. The one I always remember was when the Bees Knees came out. I was into NPC dye sales at the time and I've never seen anything like the coral pink dye sales that weekend. Fashion report dyes aren't my personal go to because the market saturates fast and there's nothing new at the saucer atm, but if there's something hot and new, you can bet filling a retainer with the recommended items for an inflated price will disappear with barely any effort on your part. Even if you're undercut, if the demand is there for something like the Bees Knees, your retainer should empty daily.

Just don't sell full stacks of anything. Most people don't WANT 99 of anything. They might only need a handful and they might not have the 50,000 gil necessary to buy 99 McGuffins. Buying in bulk doesn't pay in FF14. Sell in smaller amounts. Like for example, I'll get glamour prisms from the grand company store and turn them over on the market in batches of 10 (enough to glam a full outfit, minus weapons). They go REAL fast. They aren't worth a ton, but if you need a couple thousand gil RIGHT NOW it's a reliable way to go.

Best advice I can give if you're not making full items is to see how many of an item it takes to make something and then sell the needed amount for higher than the lowest price. Putting a stack of 99 on the board when someone only needs 5 to make the item they want tends to make them either buy high or resell so they don't clog their inventory. If they pick the option to buy high, you make a profit. Levequests and GC Missions benefit the most from knowing what you're selling will eventually turn into but it can apply to everything.

The problem is, people have no self restraint. Everything is about instant gratification and no respect for the economy. If you go out and farm a stack of 999 of something, say, ore, don't stick 10 stacks of 99 on the AH. If you flood the market, others will come in and undercut you, which not only ruins the prices of items, but means yours won't sell. Which leads me to the second point: Undercutting. Guys, if you look at an item's history and see that it's selling quickly, just post your items for whatever the going rate is. IT WILL SELL. If 20 people want to post an item that is currently selling for 1,000g each, and everybody undercuts the previous person, suddenly that items is worth less than 500g. Undercutting is only beneficial on items that don't sell well.

As for some of the things to consider on how you're cornering your market; another thing to consider isn't just convenience or time efficiency, but also whether or not you enjoy it. I have almost 900million gil, and I hate crafting. As my go to, I actually DO spend most of my own time in Bozja, Eureka, HoH, or PoTD, on occasion stopping by the Diadem as well. Sure it may have taken 20 hours to get that night pegasus to sell for 20mil, but I'm already on the hunt for earning my necromancer title so that extra change in my retainer is nice to see. Back in the day before the moogle event was selling shiver emotes and crashed that market, (salty not salty,) I used to sell 2 of those daily for nearly 3mil just spending my time in Pagos, which I had already intended to do because I had relics to complete. As for my current market, I'll keep that one a secret for now, but just consider whether or not you *like* what you're doing to make money. Remember, if you burn yourself out and stop playing, you're not making any money.

If I run across an item that is slightly inconvenient to get, chances are, other people will think so too. And so I've been trying many things, from materials used for crafting in job quests, to commonly sought after furniture, from freaking flipping strom seals into gil by selling glamour prisms. All of those things give satisfying results. There's even passive income options such as the dyes from island sanctuary or if you're lucky enough to win the housing gacha, gardening goods like thavnairian onions (those will always sell well, since supply is limited to people with houses, and demand is pretty high among chocobo enjoyers)

The Patch Day Ouroboros still represents a lot of potential gil to be made each patch day, you just have to recognize that you don't need to be the HEAD of that Ouroboros by being a person that crafts high end raid gear. High end crafters need materials, and people need materials to get the resources they need to gather other materials. Friggin potatos can jump in price fivefold on patch day if it's in a useful enough recipie. If you need to get Old Thing 1 in order to get Old Thing 2 which is necessary to get the Brand New Thing(tm), you can make money off any one of those. Prices will jump on certain things on patch days so it's always important to keep those things in mind and prep for them. Making gil in FFXIV is definitely more than just "hey this one thing gets you all the money every day and this is the only thing you'll ever need to do and that's why I'm putting it in this video". That's a trap. FFXIV has all sorts of markets for all kinds of things. You can find a niche. You can diversify. It all comes down to experimenting and finding what works for you, what works in your server, what makes efficient use of your time, and what you enjoy. And of course it's worth pointing out that yeah, people pay for "convenience". You'll have more money if your pocket if you spend a little more time finding a cheaper way to obtain something than by just buying everything off the marketboard. Do you need 99 potatoes? Why not just gather them yourself rather than pay for them? This isn't really "making" gil, but it's being more efficient with the gil you already have which absolutely adds up over time.

Going out with the intention of making gil I find is stressful because your expectations can be drastically curtailed by unlucky market trends. You might find a furniture item that's selling for 100k but by the time you've crafted a dozen of them, they've gone down in price by over 50%.

Ive been slowly levelling up my crafters, gatherers, and gaining gil by gathering materials(usually till I climb 5 levels or so), crafting those raw materials into processed materials(wood to lumber), then unless I can make something universal with it(probably not at lower levels), putting it to market. You can get a tidy supply of gil from lumber alone. Whats important to note is that you should only do crafting IF YOU WANT TO. There are many ways to make money, as is shown here, and being rich doesnt have to be everything in FFXIV.

Started playing back in 2014, I can say this is a lot of good advice. People really do pay for convenience, that's why when I started playing, I made gil by buying stuff from vendors and reselling them at a higher price in the market. (I've overpaid for convenience too). I used to use a lot of these methods; I leveled my gatherers at the same time as my crafters, so I didn't have to spend money on materials. You can just sell whatever you gather and don't need. Crafting housing items was a really good way to make money too, I would just find whatever was lacking in the market that I could make (most times it was stuff I ended up not using while trying to decorate my houses). Decorating houses for players or crafting items for a slightly cheaper price. You can figure out how you want to price things. if you have gatherers leveled, you can gather the materials needed instead of purchasing them in the market and keep the difference. I'd have enough gil coming in consistently and stacks of materials, so i would just inspect people near me and give them gear they needed or pets and stuff that I had crafted extras of. A friend of mine reached gil cap twice by the time I met him and all he did was craft. However, back then the markets weren't so messed up. The game has changed so much since then, but I do like the changes.

I used to be a pretty hardcore crafter on Gilgamesh; but I don't play anymore. I entered 3.0 with over 100 million gil and I could have gotten plenty more if I cared to invest the time in it. But at that point I had more gil than I ever knew what to do with. I don't know how much these tips apply in the current expansion; but, here's some thoughts to my process. - Consistency: The best advice I can give is to find specific markets and be very consistent with stocking them. I had a retainer for pots/food, 2 retainers for very basic leveling gear (people leveling alts will spend a lot on HQ crafted gear to make dungeon runs smoother), a retainer for furniture, and a retainer for random misc items. I would log on every day, check my retainers, and re-supply them with the listed items. I kept a spread sheet of each retainer's item list to keep track. Speaking of spreadsheets . . . - Spreadsheets: google sheets are your absolute best friend. Keep track of what items you like to craft, how well they sell, recipes/materials you frequent, etc. Spreadsheets are very fun and extremely helpful to track what is and isn't making gil - Market manipulation: This one is a little underhanded sometimes; but I was in a "crafter union" linkshell of the some of the high level crafters and we would work together to corner specific markets and share info. We would also agree on certain prices so we didn't enter an undercut war. If there was someone undercutting; you can list an item at extremely low prices; wait for the undercutter to undercut that price; then buy them out and re-list at your profit margin and save yourself crafting for that day. It's risky; but most undercutters don't look at stack sizes or prices, they just undercut whatever is at the top of the list. I've made millions tricking people to undercut stacks of food for half the normal market price. Speaking of linkshells. . . - Networking: Another important advice I can give is getting to know people. Join crafter linkshells and learn from other people. Most people want to share info and gloat, but they don't want to ruin their market by making a youtube video. I had many networks of friends and would frequently commission huge amounts of materials from specific gatherers. That way they get guaranteed gil and a specific gathering goal and I get a competitive market price at extreme convenience. - Brand Awareness, word of mouth, and PF: This one is mostly for fun; but I would always advertise on PF as the "Lucky Cat Omni-Crafter!" and would take commissions from anyone looking for items. This was particularly popular when specializations were important for raid gear. It's very fun to actually talk to a customer one on one and let them watch you craft; it breaks up the monotony of mindlessly crafting and they often tip very well and offer word of mouth advertising to their friends. I was lucky enough to be commissioned to craft day one gear for some of the top raiding guilds as well because of this. - Materia grind: Not sure if this is still a thing but I would often craft full sets of gear and spam T3 with my friends, using spiritbond potions etc, just to sell the materia. I would also always have a separate set of crafting gear whenever I crafted large amounts of food or pots for the spiritbond. - Selling content: This one isn't crafting related but being the degen I was I was also a very high level raider at the time and helped run a content selling linkshell. You can make disgusting amounts of gil if you have a group of very good raiders to pull from. We would set prices, advertise, and pull anyone available from our link shells. A lot of people will pay 50-100 million gil for extreme primals in hopes of getting a mount or clears for raids. Selling T13 with 7 people was probably some of the most difficult and satisfying experiences I had in FFXIV and I was lucky enough to meet and play with some of the players from the world first teams doing so. I'm not sure if the devs have made any changes about ToS in this regard though. Back then nobody I knew was punished for it; but I hear a lot has changed in terms of advertising on PF (like not being able to advertise parse runs). Hope some of that helped, good luck out there!

In general if the stack is over 100k people think twice before buying. I find stacks between 20-50k sell much faster than stacks over 100k. If all of a stack is not used within a week people will likely look for a smaller stack. Stacks can exceed the desired amount by about 30% or round to the nearest 10.

Stacks of 20k won't make you rich. But stacks of high end or specialty items can easily be sold for 5m to OTHER high end crafters.

@@maxsdad538 it is an example. If you sell 99 items for 1m selling them in stacks of 20 or 30 will sell faster and the price per unit can be higher. Additionally it slows down the market crash. If you sell 99 and the buyer only needed 15, they will use what they need then undercut you to clear their inventory and get some of their money back. Specialty items for 5m take 1-2 weeks to sell. The cost of making said item can be extremely high bring the profits down or time spent to get the rare drop can range between 1-3 weeks. I only made about 4mill yesterday off items I made or gathered yesterday. So maybe I'm not the best at giving advice. But the 60m I made in the last week selling in 1/5-1/3rd sized stacks while the 1-10m items are still sitting there on the market board speaks volumes. It is also part of the standard 99 cent policies of stores. If an item goes into another digit people are less likely to buy it. Reducing the number of digits increases that chance of a sale.

Another way to slowly amass gil: Level up your healers and tanks by doing your daily roulettes and sell any gear off as glamour prisms on MB. I easily got my first 10 mil passively just through that. Easiest way to turn dungeon gear into glamour prisms is to level up your squadron rank so that you can buy GP with seals. Turn in every piece for seals, then glamour prisms, and throw them on the MB before logging off. Doing all of my daily roulettes (excluding MSQ roulette) takes about 2h and leaves me just enough time to get market board sales squared away and it still lets me do the kind of content I enjoy most.

When not a major patch, Housing items and just random mats for HW or SB crafts can add up a lot if you're grinding for gil on crafters/gatherers. Diadem was also a goldmine if it didn't kill your sanity but this has slowed recently. One thing I do (though it's gotten a bit pricey and harder to find so I have to gather them myself now) is random maps. Not the current expansion maps, but the old ARR and HW maps that can possibly give you the unhidden ones when you solo them. It takes like five minutes to try each day and if you find one it's a lot. You're right that those that have gil made that major gil overtime, but it's also we don't really spend it unless it's to make more gil. Sometimes it's gambling but getting stock matters and there are patterns to what crafters COULD need for a patch. Your video is very good advice for gil making in general.

Big True. I made my fortune off furniture and house walls. Back when Shirogane released Large castle walls where selling for 20-25m each. Over time items like ponds, bridges, small/medium house walls add up. I stopped making large walls since the potential customers for them are very few and focused on making way more small/medium walls. Each patch with more wards added, I stock up on resources to make furniture and house walls.

Best advice I would give, as an enthusiast of crafting and getting over 100 mil since I started, 50 mil of which I spent on a large (LUCK THAT ONE) house, craft furniture especially in the 1-50 level range, or things you think will be used often. Especially as those 1-50 furnishings will have easy mats to get, some from beasttribe vendors and if not the rest are easier to get too, basic things that are convenient to get, trash bin, partition screens, beds etc etc. look for what furnishings on the market in that level range isnt sold much, low supply, and you could take over somewhat. But dont put your eggs in one basket, find a couple furnishings to craft, say 5x of this, 5x of that, 4x of this, 4x of that.. and you can always craft more when you check your retainers

I migrated to a Japanese server several months ago since I'll be moving to Japan next April (amusingly enough, I'll have much less time for FFXIV once I'm there, lol). One thing I noticed, at least in my server (Atomos) is that there are actually a lot of people crafting--specifically, for Skybuilders' Scrips/Kupo of Fortune/Firmament stuff. I've seen a whole crapload of people in that area at the same time on many occasions. Weird thing is, it was only a few weeks ago that I set foot in the Diadem for the first time--after I'd already gotten all my crafting/gathering classes to 90 (yeah, I'm one of those omnicrafters as well). But I found that selling the expert recipe materials from the Diadem, the ones from nodes that only appear during the specific weather conditions, is actually pretty lucrative. Nobody cares about the "normal" materials, after all. I can usually sell stacks of 20 "approved" expert materials for like 25-30k apiece (and tbh it's actually pretty convenient that you can only get those approved items in stacks of 5). Can't say whether it's as profitable as any of your tips, but since I'm still pretty new (started playing after Endwalker released), I'd say it works well enough for me. Also, one thing I noticed FFXIV guides often neglect to mention? Free Companies are a thing, and while each of those communities has a different focus/playstyle, they're all quite good at taking care of their members--and also have more gil in their coffers. It's pretty normal for FCs to trawl the markets for stuff for their members, yeah? And I think most FCs aren't full of grizzled vets who've been playing since ARR (or even earlier lmao); if anything there are a lot of sprouts in them--people who could use stuff like cloth/thread/leather/etc. instead of actual endgame gear. Before I forget: mist silk is worth a crapload, for those of you who like treasure hunts. In Atomos I've seen a single piece going for upwards of 300k on market. I can't say it's a quick and easy way to profit because it's definitely hard to get, but if you have extra mist silk lying around, why not?

Another thing to note is having the Mognet app on your phone to keep an eye on your sales. You can set up a notification time to let you know how much you earned. And something I tend to do once in a while is sell shards. Yeah you need them for crafting but sell at least 1000 of each type. If you have 9999 shards of any type still do 1000 on the market. with crystals at least 100 when you obtain them. and Clusters you can keep or sell 100 of. Here's my recommendation for prices on each type. Shards sell for 20-35 Gil each Crystals sell for 30-45 Gil each Clusters sell for 50-70 Gil each Any questions? No good.

This video speaks to me quite a bit. About a year or so ago, I was doing decently well (I think, I have no idea if I would have been considered rich). Had about 72m gil. I had lost a small house a few years ago because Valheim came out and I was playing it nonstop and 45 days passed, I hadn't gone into my house (or maybe even logged on I think, I forget), and I lost the property. Fast forward to last year and I saw a medium house in Shirogane on the market. I had quite a few things in my inventory that I wanted to put in my small house, but thanks to the size, was unable to. It was in a spot that was up in a corner away from most others and was dirt cheap at like 30m gil. I somehow managed to win it with ticket FIFTY-SEVEN. So, not only was I floored at my luck, but I was also out 30m gil, which was fine. I love the way it looks. How I recouped the giant dip in money was pretty ridiculous though and it took me a little while to realize it at first. Some time before that, I had purchased a couple 'ostensibly special maps' from the moogle vendor using the at-the-time current tomestones. I didn't know what they were, but I figured I'd pick them up and see what happened. I saw they were the kind that required 8 people after I bought them, so, oops! I did eventually end up in a treasure map party and I asked if we could do those too. Sure, no problem. One of the maps opened a portal. Sweet! It led to a Shifting Oubliettes of Lyhe Ghiah, the 'spin the wheel' dungeon. We lucked out and went the distance. Sweet! Well, I happened to win something, but I wasn't paying attention when it popped into my bag. It was a golden beaver. =O When I finally noticed it in my bag, I had no idea where it came from. I looked it up, had a laugh since I apparently missed looting it, and checked what it was selling for on MB and nearly died. After a few weeks, eventually I sold it for 23.5m gil. I'm surprised the neighbors didn't submit a noise complaint when I saw the notice pop up on my screen. Over time, I saved up some more because I desperately wanted to buy the Refulgence orchestrion roll, which I got cheap for 4m gil. I also ran a bunch of dungeons all the time for easy bits of gil here and there since I have no queue time thanks to healing, but I'd occasionally slow down and craft a bunch of food or potions and such. When my tomestones of casualties would max out, I'd buy some of the crafting materials and sell them. Since it was the middle of the expansion, they'd fly out the door and the investment cost was next to nothing. I also didn't mind running the dungeons to get the tomestones since I'd get a decent amount of greens to turn into company seals and do stuff with those, usually try for some minions or mounts with the 3.0 and 4.0 loot boxes. I occasionally get something that sells well, but that's more for fun. I also managed to get a little lucky and found some 'cheap' fine alumen to make a bearskin rug. I happened upon the other couple mats a while back and wanted to have one in my house, but thought it'd be put to better use sold. I have one up now for 693k (the alumen was a 'steal' at 160k each). I originally saw a few weeks ago that the cheapest rug was at like 425k, so that little profit to me wasn't really worth it. Now, the cheapest is about 680k, which works. I know they don't sell often, but they do sell. Just have to be patient with that one as few people are going to just drop nearly 700k on a rug, but someone eventually will. At the beginning of May, I saw that I had acquired about 90m gil. I also knew Dawntrail was right around the corner, so I set myself a goal to try and get 100m before launch. So I followed some of your advice here and just looked at some things that had a high time to profit margin. I was stunned when several flooring and wallpaper items fell into that. One in particular - that I have in my basement, which looks like a strip club lol - was on that list. It looks gorgeous and the highest level area I need to go to to collect any mats was like, level 30. I can take about 15 minutes and gather enough to make, like, 20 of these floorings in about 3 minutes. They sell between 50-60k and sell constantly. About a week ago, I did manage to hit my goal, and that's on top of spending the first 3 weeks of May exclusively doing the quests needed to upgrade all the gathering and crafting tools from their 620 ilevels to 640. I missed the spot in the patch notes each time that the next upgrade quests were implemented since I typically wanted to know what the next part of the story quests and such were supposed to be and go and to see if there were any major changes of note to WHM. Oops. The stream of income has been steady steady steady and I usually made 600k-1m on a good day. Even on a slower day, it's not surprising for me to make between 300k-500k. Also doesn't hurt getting a pair of pure white and jet black dyes during the last few weeks, haha! The black dyes were what actually put me over. The cheapest was 500k each, so that made me super happy seeing that. Right now, I'm at 103m and still steadily climbing. Still make a lot of walls and floorings and occasionally foods, which is kind of odd that the food still sells well since Endwalker's consumables will soon be kind of obsolete, but hey, if people want to continuing buying, I'm not going to say no.

I have made a lot of gil with quick ventures. But it is rng and takes time. On top of being best done on days you are playing the game for 4-5 hours and checking in fairly soon after they return. Somethings are utterly worthless too. But it can mostly be done while playing the game for your weekly tome cap, via roulettes. Do whatever roulettes, get the gear for grand company seals, use the seals to buy ventures, and use them on quick ventures. On days I work I do the 18 hour ventures too, which can bring back some materials.

While I agree with some things you said, I also don't agree with others. Over the two years of playing this game, I've tried virtually every possible way of making gil: from crafting leves, to reselling vendor items, to crafting furniture, crafting consumables, latest gear, FC workshop etc. And one thing I can say with confidence is: there is not a single 'exploit' or 'hack' that will bring you large amounts of gil with low amount of effort. It all boils down to how much effort you are willing to put into making gil and if the outcome is worth the effort you are putting in. I don't mind talking about things I do to make gil because I know most of the people will not be willing to put in as much work as I did into it. I have made about 100mil from the patch day of 6.2 just because I was prepared and was the first to put up the new crafted gear on the market board. People bought several pieces of new gear for 10mil each, just because they wanted to get into the raid first and have the best gear as soon as possible. So yes, you can get lots of gil overnight. But what does it take to do that? Well, it takes lots of analyzing. What mats are going to be reused, what are going to be the new ones? Farming the mats you can farm before the patch. Midmaxing your stats so you make sure you can craft the new recipe without remelding. Being able to craft new recipes without macros. Being able to predict which nodes the new items will drop from. And so many others. It's very tedious and not at all easy. So why do I do it? Because I don't actually like crafting or gathering or manipulating the market. As I've said, I've tried so many methods, and sure they all bring gil to an extent, but nothing is as fast as patch day. So because I don't like crafting, I do the thing that requires the least time spent crafting. I pre-gather all the mats and then spend one or two days just crafting and earn millions of gil and then? Then I enjoy the game til the next patch day, never having to worry about making gil until then :)

How I always have gil in FF14: 1. Craft furniture or other things for friends and FC members working on their houses, but make and sell extra. -- I would offer my time and when they asked me for something I would always gather the mats to make a couple extra and throw them on the marketboard. Especially when they were valuable items. 2. Dailies. Between beast-tribe quests, leves, roulettes, etc the game just gives you 2-300k per day. Just need to take advantage of it. 3. Make everything yourself. Seriously, this is the biggest reason I (and many other long-time crafters) have money. We don't spend it on stuff, we just make shit ourselves. That's it. It won't make you a gillionaire overnight, but you will get there.

I was always going to get all jobs to max level, so once I got my crafters there, I just followed the guides on Gillionaire Gals and by spending like 15 minutes a day refreshing my sales and replacing my sold crafted items, I was making between 500k and 1m gil a week, even just buying the mats from the MB. When a new patch drops, the crafter gear always sells the best, the ones people buy to level crafting. Items that normally sell for 100k were selling for 700k for like three - four days before settling back down.

I'm an item hoarder, so I have 5 retainers. Just from sending them out on the long ventures every day, I get 40ish (about 20k gil worth) Allegan Silver Coins a day, doubling that once a week selling them to Doman Enclave. That's JUST the vendor trash. The items they bring back often sell pretty quickly too. Another good way of making gil is either by checking which Timeworn Treasure Map is selling for the most and grabbing one to sell, the lvl 50 Leather Treasure Map if you get lucky with the loot, and also just running the full party recommended maps with friends can get you a lot of raw gil just from opening the chests. Another market I'd suggest is the items that you can turn in for Grand Company Deliveries, especially the Gatherer ones. Like the video said, people pay for the convenience. I've even been able to upcharge and make money by selling them specifically in stacks of 10 (20 for Endwalker) because people just want the 10 they need for the turn in, not 22, or 15, or 7. Adding on to the dyes, another market I've noticed is the specific colors you need for the weekly Fashion Report. People upcharge on those big time and they still sell because people don't wanna hunt down the correct NPC vendors. ie right now you need Halatali Yellow for the Easy 80pts outfit. It's 40gil at the vendor, the CHEAPEST small stack (you only need 1, not 20) on the MB on Primal is 400+.

I've been sat on about 40m for a few years, generally making money back at the same rate I spend it a d not really doing anything to get more. But to get that way I did two things: First, I got srupidly lucky and had my Lv13 Botanist retainer somehow Thornmarch EX and bring back a Kingly Whisker, which sold for 13m at the time. With that starter fund I levelled CUL and bought a bunch of Pipira Pira for cheap. Then I made ungodly amounts of Baked Pipira Pira - the best raid food at the time - and sold it in small servings; enough for a raid lockout, so people would be willing to buy my offer even if I was undercut by someone selling stacks of 99. Every week or so I'd restock, and it would slowly sell as people did their weekly Savages. This brought in a consistent stream of money fot very little effort, and i just had to occasionally buy out a bunch of fish, and could just work off them while people stocked them back up for me. The rest of the materials were super easy to get in bulk through gathering or NPC shops. The lesson I took away from this experience is that you want to go after consumables, since the ingredients are massively cheaper and unlike crafted gear, the demand doesn't go away over time. Sadly nowadays I think they did some stuff to make consumable ingredients more annoying to get? Potions use all sorts of stuff like Aethersands that are in demand for everything and need you to fuck with timed nodes to get, and given how high the prices of fish are whenever I look, I suspect the ones used for raid food are on timed catches too.

I got enlightened to this idea when I was leveling my crafters up to 90 for... the exact same reason this video talks about! To get in on the patch to patch mega rush of money. I wanted to be an omnicrafter, and make millions of gil in a single day. Then I realized doing all the little crafting quests for each of the crafters, that some items take... 5 minutes to get? and sell for 10k+ EACH. There were pieces of armor selling for 5000% profits that took 2 minutes to gather materials for. I made 20 million gil leveling my crafters because everytime I went out to get something for a quest, I gathered 100 and sold the extra. They sold so fast, and for so much more money than they *should* have. But I didn't have Gil. I had time. So I farmed these small little inconvenient items to power level my crafters instead of buying them from the marketboard. Find your niche, find your fun, and money will start flowing in.

Few months late, but figured I'd pitch in since I just stumbled upon this video, and worth pointing out that on my server, I tell people all the time how I hit the gil cap, and get told by almost everyone (Save the 2 others I know who have more than 999,999,999, as you can put it on retainers and get more) that I'm hiding my secrets -- no, I was an open book about it Your right, people buy convenience, if you can buy it from a NPC it doesn't even have to be dye, even things such as iron ore, copper ore, brass ingots can be sold at a premium for people looking for items. Selling things people will use for crafting (Especially ones that come from timed nodes) help a lot. I was making ~2m+ a day off of adamantite and darksteel nuggets before I got bored. There's literal treasure troves of things like that -- I think I had a 60 point bullet list of things at one point I could tell people for "General advice" Sadly though, a lot of it comes down to "Gil makes gil" -- if you can invest (Wisely) it will return to you. Especially over patches. I remember spending ~100m on crafting mats one patch (Can't remember the number right now) when the new crafting books where going to come out, and people were going to need scripts. Sold everything back for around 400m the night before + the day after. Did take about a week or so of prep but, was actually fun to pull off.

100% convenience is key, sell the things that no one wants to gather themselves. This is how I bought my first large plot, I would gather high-quality raw jade and sell it in stacks of 10 for 1000 each, and my retainers would completely empty their stock in 24 hours because people didn't want to grind to complete the gathering quests that required HQ items only. before taxes, I would make almost 400,000 a day. Of course, I can't do that anymore since the changes to gatherers in 6.0. But I did then make some decent pocket change by selling a heap of stepping stones once housing became available in the new Australian servers,

I turn in gear in expert deliveries at my Grand Company, and spend the Company Seals on Glamour Prisms and sell them in small stacks on the MB. In my free time I mine shards and put those up in stacks no more than like 500. Mostly, you have to put things up on the MB for a higher price than ithers, and play the waiting game. It may take a while to sell, but you can make a good chunk just waiting for under cutters to sell out.

The real benefit of leveled crafters isn't that you can craft. It's that you have access to all the recipes that show you why something would be in high demand. Unless it's for personal use, I don't bother crafting end products usually. That's putting way more effort into content that I treat as side stuff. It's a nice distraction, but not something that interests me. And my brain goes numb whenever I macro a recipe over and over while watching something on my other monitor. So for example, if I'm capped on poetics, I just buy a bunch of demicrystals to sell. The reason being is that a bunch of the fancy fx version of trial weapons (like Nidhogg) require demicrystals. In theory, I could buy Nidhogg scales or tsukiyomi cloth or whatever to make the fancy weapon, but I can't be bothered to figure out which end product is most profitable. Those recipes also clue you into how stackable it is (for lack of a better word). All of the weapons that use demicrystals ask for 5 of them. All of the people that need it are probably looking to make one offs of whatever they're making, so they don't need a stack of 80. If it's food or medicine or materia or something else consumable, than selling 50 of them at a time would make more sense. Another thing to keep in mind is how you spend your gil. How you engage with the game, dictates how much gil you spend. If you're a min-maxer chasing the dps ladder, than you can easily blow through millions on unlucky melding. But if your goal is to just get by on completing the content, than it isn't necessary to do so. Majority of my expenditures are on things that are extremely hard to get, like treasure map stuff. I probably don't spend more than 2 mil at a time every once in a while, easily letting me accumulate gil over time. Because I have leveled crafters and gatherers, I save a lot of gil buying the raw mats and crafting it myself over buying the end product. 6.2 was the first time I bothered overmelding cuz I was sitting on 40 mil with nothing to spend it on and decided I wanted to give the water otter fountain expert recipes a try. Easily spent 9-8 mil overmelding and in the end I lost patience with that and spent another 6-7 mil buying the product. Despite that, I'm back up to 37 mil by now. Keep in mind I'm effectively someone who engages in battle content almost exclusively. I'm not going out of my way to craft or gather unless it's something I personally want. I'm just a bit on the frugal side and I don't let any of the game's many currencies cap. If you're unsure what to do with a capped currency, just use something like Garland Tools to figure it out.

here's another tip: if you are more pve focused, do the content that most people are not interested in doing. The recent criterion mount for example, sold for 70-100mill week 1, and there are plenty of other ways if you are willing to look into it.

Most of my money is actually coming from desynthesizing a lot of gear I come across in leveling dungeons. I'll roll Greed, and surprisingly there's not many people that will roll on some items if the dungeon is lower level. (I typically try to reserve this for level 50+ however.) It is a very slow process but the materials that you get (that aren't worth double digits) are a decently consistent way to make little bits of money slowly over time. As you said, convenience is everything, and when people are crafting, they're going to shy away from the stacks of 99 that people are trying to sell but will happily buy your stack of 1-3 items.

I can say that crafting gear and consumables on the launch of a savage raid-tier is most profitable if you're lucky enough to be hired by a racing or high-end static. They'll pay 10s of millions of Gil per person and provide tome materials. This is all guaranteed prices that are arranged too, so there's no undercutting and no uncertainty of sell prices - granted they're also paying you with expectations to be done very quickly so you have to be prepared and be able to figure out new rotations yourself if needed. The other most notable method is not anything to do with the game, it's just literally rmt. The people with 100s of millions of Gil likely bought it from Gil rmt sites, or they sell clears and boosts for Gil. People will pay a lot for ultimate and savage clears, up to the like over 500mil+ for a single clear or set split 7 or 8 ways. I know from experience as being in these high-end statics and circles of content sellers, notably on crystal and aether.

Actually good advice, lots of free houses still to grab. lots of people decorating. Will stay a good market for long time. Make sure to craft everyday furniture, not some wild stuff you'd only use once in a house. Windows are good, flooring mats that the vendor sells for 5k sometimes sells on MB for 20k. Furniture that gets used often. in a house decoration usually sells good. Sometimes, flipping works from server to server. Can be risky tho.

I actually play on the same server as Ashe10, and have had to compete against them for market control back during stormblood/early shadowbringers. I ended up getting pretty rich (180 mil at my peak), but the methods I used gradually got harder and harder to be worth doing, as more and more people started following suit, causing heavy market crashes. I still remember when someone decided it would be a great idea to make 15 of one specific raid item (I think it was a chest piece), and sell at half the going rate on the market board. They hadn't sold them all even after 5 days, meaning they just crashed the market for no reason. Fact is, the game doesn't have any get really rich quick schemes, especially not now. It's a slow, gradual gain of money. I just don't have the time to take part in it anymore.

After gridning resources to have crafting spree, I'll sell everything and usually much less than basicially 1 gil per piece, so usually over night my 20/20 retainer is around 8/20 if the stuff ive put on has been useful :D And sometimes as a fisher, I google what fish does what and check if its a quest item or delivery and keep selling those if I have been fishing lately :D

I like to convert roulette gear into grand company seals then buy ventures to fuel retainers. They have a decent gil stream. I also use the excess to buy sellables from the GC vendor. You can also desynth it and sell the mats you receive. I neither craft a thing for the board, nor do maps, and using this neverending cycle, wind up making 100s of thousands and occasional million or so every week with very little effort.

For a while, I did actually make the market kind of crash for a certain item because the profit was insane. Around 5 million a week. But people also watch the marketboards. They see who has been buying thing in large quantities. Those who want to make money will check what items suddenly have huge buyouts.

Me and my buddy did something similar to Black Desert Online. Looking through crafting tiers showed grass (yes actual lawn grass) was essential for almost every end game crafting recipe. Problem was it spawned very few and far between in end game areas. However it spawned in abundance in the starting area, so me and my buddy spent 3-ish days farming grass and selling it on the player market. By the time we were level 5 we were in the top 5 richest players. It was so bad that BDO had to release a patch to fix the economy. Looking through the change log they all but tagged our usernames. Good to know I might be able to do something similar here >:D

For those wondering the changes of note were (according to memory from 1-2 years ago): grass now spawns more evenly across all level areas, selling in bulk no longer puts you as a top listing automatically in the player market, grass is less of a requirement for crafting, a few extra changes to how crafting works, and I'm about 90% sure they added a level lock to when you are allowed to access the market.

Honestly, the only thing I stockpile materia for is the weekly turn in for Doma, otherwise I vendor trash any that I'm not actively saving for personal use. As for crafting/crafters, I've found they only really 'make you money' in the sense of how much you save just making w/e item yourself.

You've touched on the same answer that I tell people whenever this subject comes up. Nothing will make you more money in this game than the ignorance and laziness of other players. The thing that blows my mind is that pre-melded ARR relic base weapons will still sell for a decent price, even with the HQ markup. Weapons that, unless you go out of your way to do so, will literally NEVER be used for anything but relic bases, yet still go for insane markups.

Another good method at making gill that doesn't require a super max level crafter is crafting the items used for leves and selling them. Alot of people dont craft it themselves and prefer to buy all of the stuff off the marketboard. It's faster leveling for them in exchange for gill. I do it somes as well but then immediately make back that money at what's selling in leves because there will always be people looking to level their crafters and gatherers

This biggest thing here is just analyzing the player market. I actually got rich in Star Wars this way. I thought about what players could afford and be actively looking for, then watched to see how much people were willing to pay for items. Then I would try to form a monopoly of sorts on the item. Selling cheaper within reason while also buying items being sold too cheap, just to flip them for a significantly larger sum. Though with this method, I had to constantly check the market to make sure people weren't undercutting me, otherwise, I would be able to make sales. So not only was buying out the cheap items much faster than crafting, but I was making sure people bought my more expensive items. Over time, you start to learn the market. So when it shifts to items being sold laughably cheap, you already know that people will not hesitate to buy at 3 times the price. So now you're rich and these items are basically pocket change. You take everything off the market, then then put it back at the proper price point.

I just gather stuff that sells at a decent clip, like ores and stuff. Every once in a while I might craft some big ticket item, like something from the master recipes that takes a lot of effort to get. Like if a crafting item sells from a raid I try to roll on it then craft that item if I get it. Sometimes I might have to spend a million gil to get the craft done, but then I can turn around and sell it for two or three million. Granted it will take a LONG time to sell, but I don't mind.

Crafting leves, you get six a day, so that’s 12 crafts at most with not much gathering either (especially if you do that part in bulk) and then you hand them in for about 60k Gil a day, no undercutting on the MB. That plus roulettes which will get you around 150k a day, you wrack up a nice amount of Gil over a few weeks.

Definitely my approach. I make more of my gil selling to other crafters out of convenience. I made commonly use catalysis and sold those over an expansion. Made 80 million gil during HW just casually restocking glues, solvents etc for other crafters cause honestly some of them were a pain to gather mats for. Though ngl, I did spend two months controlling my market which may have resulted in an extra 10-30 mil. But most of it was pretty casually though. Even if I was undercut my stuff would eventually sell.

Number one tip I give for how I went from a poor nobody to having tens of millions in my first two months is: DIVERSIFY. Crafting was definitely a good call for me but it's far from my only strategy and I apply at least a dozen at a time. And yes, all rely on the same thing Jolsn said: convenience. High end crafter/gatherer gear to sell to newbies to the scene, those wealthy enough to skip making their own stuff, or the lazy is one strat sure. But what about resources that are a PITA to collect and you need vast quantities of for specific tasks? For example say your FC wants to start doing submersibles. Well prepare your butt for how much darksteel, gold and other materials you'll need.
