FF14 provides many methods of money-making. From selling runs on the Market Board to collecting Allagan Tomestones and undertaking Beast Tribe quests, there’s no shortage of ways to generate Gil.
To maximize gil earnings, the ideal method for you is leveling up crafters and gatherers to current content and selling in-demand equipment and food – you could also offer popular glamour sets for sale.
Crafting
As players enter the end-game and focus on glamour items such as mounts and houses, gil becomes essential in order to enjoy their game experience.
Dungeons may be one of the easiest and fastest ways to accumulate FFXIV Gil, but there are other methods players can employ as well. Players can regularly complete daily duty roulettes, work through Challenge Log tasks or complete FATE challenges to build up an amount of Gil each week.
Moogle Treasure Trove events provide at least one highly desired item that can be sold for a profit on the Market Board, along with event rewards like Tomestones and unique dyes that can also be traded.
Miners, Botanists and Weavers with advanced crafting jobs (Miner, Botanist and Weaver) can farm materials which they then sell on the player Market Board for a healthy profit each week – particularly after new patches when demand for materials skyrockets. This method is especially lucrative after demand surges significantly for materials sold here.
Gathering
An efficient way to generate Gil is through selling items on the Market Board, especially at the start of a new patch when players are stocking up with gear they don’t already possess. However, this requires skill in crafting as well as knowledge of current prices in order to maximise profits and earn maximum Gil.
Treasure maps offer another source of FFXIV Gil. Treasure chests typically contain many useful items – including EX Materia that can be sold on the market board – while defeating monsters may yield even more gil.
Finally, the Aetherite Market can be extremely lucrative if utilized properly. Aetherite materials can be sold on the Market Board or used to produce items with significant selling prices that can then be sold. Although this method can be time consuming and risky, always research its prices before investing your resources as each server and DC has different prices; what works for one may not necessarily work on another server due to other players already targeting that market segment.
Combat
FFXIV Gil is Valisthea’s main currency. Players use it for various tasks including gearing up, purchasing food and potions, crafting, housing, glamour minions mounts cosmetic items. Players may also use Gil to purchase and sell services like teleportation and Market Board transactions.
Combat in FF14 involves engaging enemies to earn gil, as well as completing sidequests and the main quest, or from the zell tree which grows according to your level. Gil may also be dropped by enemies or treasure chests or Notorious Marks.
Selling equipment, Materia and dungeon loot to NPCs or on the Market Board can also generate gil. Some players also generate it by running Challenge Logs which reward small amounts of gil every time one resets. Finally, players can purchase Treasure Maps quickly for even quicker earnings of gil.
PvP
PvP gameplay in Final Fantasy 14 can provide one of the best sources of Gil. By earning enough, players can purchase cutting-edge gear and items that enhance their characters and increase efficiency.
Gathering is an efficient way of earning FFXIV Gil, particularly at the beginning of a new patch as materials are newly available. But as players transition towards creating end game gear and weapons instead, profits may begin to decrease over time.
Combat can also provide an easy source of f14 gil, particularly when fighting older content that still provides valuable collectables or weapons from past wars. Furthermore, felled enemies and chest finds can yield extra Gil by using Gold Mountain or purchasing Gil Plus Materia which increases after battle AP gain for maximum gear stat increase speed – ideal for raiding!
