FFXIV Gil Making Master Class - Part 2: Side Hustles to Max Gil

[@steveh1474]

when selling materials, consider the size of your piles too. many crafters dont need 99 rocks to finish the crafting questlines, maybe we need exactly 7. theyll pay 10x the price for exactly what they need instead of buying 20x the amount they need. even on savage release, find out how many of one ingredient is needed for a full set of fending gear, or healing gear, or whatever. sell the exact amount needed, itll sell faster than a stack of 50 or 99, it might even sell faster than selling singles in some cases.

Excellent excellent point

[@sophieirisviel4100]

same thing goes for a bunch of raw leveling-tier gathering stuff, in piles of 20 since that’s what the grand company turn-ins want

[@rickyricardo4331]

This is exactly what I do. I see 99 of something I need and just keep scrolling.

solid selection of tips to go through.This is why I love that there is no pay for power in this game, you can obtain GIL easily if you just put the time in for a certain thing that yields good payout. Always happy to purchase stuff from the MB when HQ Crafted gear comes around. I do love the levequest stuff, super underutilized. Its known greatly for simple leveling but the rewards are always overlooked by ppl.

[@Koakoa45]

I would never buy anything listed with 99 items as most bots sell in stacks of 99 and I do not want to give them a damn dime.

[@kosbebot6360]

I leveled 3 alts during downtime for levequest gil and free retainers.

[@crashzone6600]

Rather then doing the leves, it is more lucrative to sell the leve item on the market board because you can sell them in large quantities for no other reason than people turning them in to level up, and they are too lazy to make it themselves. Either that, or you simply sell the mats to make whatever is for the leve quest, because again, people are to lazy to gather it themselves. Another way to do it is to reset the market board by buying all the HQ items and then reposting it for double what you paid. Or just maintaining a monopoly on one item. You'd be surprised at what just charging a premium on effort can do.

[@Manchild_Gaming]

True especially after expansion this can be a very good idea. I do find it to be flooded though further down the road. But another bright side is if it doesn't sell just pull it and turn it in. No waste. 👍

[@markup6394]

I know all of these but never know what to do with the scrips afterwards...

[@Manchild_Gaming]

That part changes all the time, it does take some minor analysis, I would usually get a list or just take a picture of what the script vendor is offering and then head to the MB and just go down the list and see what is selling for alot, and fast.

A bit late, but teamcraft has a small tool on their website. You could just type in like 2000 purple crafter scripts and it will trigger a query at xiv universalis to check what item is sold for how many gil. It is a good way to get a feeling of the Market.

[@LandonTristen]

I desperately need this but I’m a complete beginner. Only on the first expansion msq and I’m level 38 in paladin. I want to make tons of Gil but I have no idea how to do this

Hi there, I have a comprehensive guide that will literally hold your hand from levels 0-20 for crafters and gatherers. There is a part 2 which doesnt hold your hand as much, but by then you should understand a little more. Either way here is the guide let me know how it goes kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWLVd2ukn5iieMksi=fKZZ8x9hKOJ-6WDD
