Best Ways To Make Gil Fast As A New Player?

Hello FFXIAH!

I'm a new player whos finally getting far enough into the game where I'm needing more and more gil, and selling stacks of crystals, crayfish, and moat carps isnt cutting it anymore.

What are some good methods for making gil that you'd recommend? I'd like to learn some good repeatable money making methods if possible at where I am in the game so far. I'm a level 30 RDM & 15 THF if that helps any

Thank you everyone for your time! :D

Make sure to have the repeatable ROE objectives active at all times, so that you are constantly earning Sparks and Unity Accolades.

Every Sunday, the Sparks and Unity vendors reset how many Sparks/Accolades you can spend, and you can spend Sparks and Accolades on Acheron Shields and Prize Powder, which you can then sell to NPCs to produce gil every week. If you cap out your Sparks and Accolades at 99999 and convert them all into Shields/Powder and sell, it nets you right around 2 million gil a week.

Also make sure to pick up Signet from your Nation's gate guards. You'll earn Conquest Points which you can do the same thing with. Spend on certain gil, and sell to NPCs. Generally the rank 3 two handed weapons have a positive conq points/gil ratio, and are solid to sell across the board.

Other than that, try to level up more, as you'll get access to better gil making methods the stronger you get, but these are stable through lines available to all players at all levels, they just take play time to accrue. :)

don't invest any money into getting to 99. use sparks to buy weapon upgrades as available.

if you insist on wearing any armor, get the level 50 sparks set > quest your AF > abyssea gear at 78.

trusts are significantly stronger than players under 99, and not long after, significantly weaker.

I don't want to generalize, but gil is mostly irrelevant sub 99. I would recommend getting to Level 99 as fast as possible, as that is going to allow you to make larger amounts of gil much faster. There's really nothing you can farm at that level that will net you a good income, besides what Vyre mentioned with repeatable Records of Eminence quests and spending Accolades and Sparks.

There's a few quests that reward some scrolls or whatever that might be worth some gil (Drain, Aspir etc, check your server's prices on them). But they're not repeatable.

also, if you're specifically trying to fund gear and not something else, consider camping some NMs for that real old school experience. can get a peacock charm pretty easily with no competition and relaxed spawn timers, and that will last 60 levels. none of what you camp will be of any use at 99 for long, but can provide alternative things to do if you don't want to rush. still costs time instead of gil, so may not be for everyone.

Get THF to 99 and begin farming content like Dynamis.

This ^ ... & Get Thf to 99 asap to Farm Dyna & Omen.

Get 2 other jobs to 99; Cor & Dnc as they share gear with Thf.

Unlock Oddy to open chest in with living keys. Start leveling alchemy + farming mats to make living keys.

Make TP bonus gun for Cor; after, make TP bonus dagger for Thf & Dnc.

Cor should be able to get into Ambu groups if folks are not being elitist about members. Make Naegling for Cor Asap. Make Tauret after Naegling.

Not needed right away but worth 20m each, get Aeonic Gun & Dagger.

Start farming malignance gear on very easy (it takes a while but gets a little better once you can do easy).

As painful as it may seem, to really start pushing into end game content, start & perfect Brd.

After Brd I would suggest Whm & finally Geo. This should round you out enough to participate in all end game content.

THF in Omen makes about a stack of 99 swart a week (worth around 9 mill)

I aeolian edge alongside my Fell Cleave war, but solo thf is fine with aoe/non aoe kills

Can you send the 20m Aeonics mercs to Bahamut?

We got sent your 50m Aeonic mercs after the borders closed and it feels like we’re getting scammed.

Join a chill activities linkshell and whenever they are asking anyone if they wanna do something do it!

Lots of content in the game now gives good gil. Play with others, have fun, watch your purse swell.

1. Get to 99.
2. Weekly sell ROE items for a 2m allowance.
3. Put on the red light and walk the streets for money, don't care if it's wrong or if it's right. This is just for PS.

I would say it's based on your gear progression also.

Odyssey Sheol A scale farming?

This is sound advice, however I would hold off on burning all your sparks, as you will need them to upgrade weapons and armor as you level up.

Whatever you're farming at lv30 you can farm exponentially faster the higher level you are.

One important distinction (that the wiki has) is whether a piece of content is pre-iLevel or not.

Many suggestions here are for pre-iLevel (e.g. regular Dynamis) and should be easy to do for a fresh 99 (sparks/ambu gear).

Some other content mentioned is post-iLevel (Omen, Odyssey) and will be much harder to farm until getting at least Ambu +2 and maybe a few Job Points.

This being said, one decent source of gil which offers a great way to test your skill against a wide variety of enemies is UNM. Worth a shot when you get 99, if only to get a sense of what types of enemies you can most easily/safely deal with.

they're level 30...

not that any of these suggestions are bad, but read the OP

How dare you. Ableist.

You know they can't read.

Get your mog garden, use your furrow, plant any seed, use gusgen clay to fertilize

vala

Worm Mulch

According to FFXIAH its 300k ish a pop

May need sneak at level 30 to get gusgen clay

Also these sunsand, you can get them right outside Selbina in Valkrum dunes when its sandstorming. Can get 1 sunsand each time you zone from selbina to Valkrum dune, or if you're lazy just wait next to the boat and can get 1 sunsand for each sandstorm.

its 70k a pop now wow, i thought it was still 10k and isn't that worth it.

This one at level 30 i don't think you even need sneak/invis

Why do you need large amounts of gil at level 30?

What are you spending gil on? I think perhaps you don't need to be.

You can go from level 1 to 50 in a few hours. Why aren't you leveling?

I find player auctions to be the most time efficient way of making gil honestly

Lots of good advice here, especially don't bother because you don't need much gil to level.

Another idea: check vendor scroll/dice prices, buy them from vendor, throw on AH, no effort profit.

I think I got 10 pots plus mog garden access for seeds and just grow Wild Onions/rice/fire crystals. These items are always in short supply as they are required by high level cooking. There are also Danceshroom which only available when vendor mog effect is on.
Grauberg lettuce which drop from the saplings in grauberg lv36.

You can also buy magic scrolls from NPC, as well as materials from the guild shop to sell on AH.
