FFXIV - Patch 7.1 This Isn't Your Big Gil Patch!

In this video, I dive into why prepping for FFXIV's Patch 7.1 may not be worth your time-especially with most gear updates targeting crafters alone. I’ll break down what’s changing in the game, how limited the actual benefits are for general players, and reveal the one lucrative item you might want to invest in. Whether you're a crafter or just looking for quick gil, find out what’s actually worth your effort in this patch and what to skip. Make sure you’re making the best choices for your gil and prep time!

Would pay attention to housing items and crafting material as everyone upgrades to large interiors. There will be some opportunities just not in gear.

[@Manchild_Gaming]

actually not a bad suggestion, I think itll be extremely volitile, but for early movers might be some big big cash

[@mrgold1673]

Sure, but that's patch 7.2 or .3 I'm sure some will be redesigning with the new column-less interiors though.

[@jocco997]

1 hour left until maintenance and I didn't prep: panik seen your vid: kalm

[@khosatokari]

This makes a lot of sense. This is the first patch I'm fully geared and prepared, so that's a bummer, but it will make it easier to prepare for the next one. It's really nice to know there's no rush. I would actually love to hear your thoughts on crafter materia farming especially before you're fully geared up. I felt collectible crafting took way too much time if you need all the hq mats.

[@Manchild_Gaming]

So for crafter materia it does take alot of gil/time to get to a max pentameld status, where you would only need usually 1 HQ Mat or none at all. My advice is to pay great attention to timing. Wait just a few weeks till materia plummets again, then you can buy materia faster than you can create it in my opinion. You can use this MB strat in my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3nJm5t_jZaGpdU to help you create gil. Farming materia just does take a ton of time, but again I personally think its faster to make gil and buy at the bottom of the materia value. Once you have a full pentameld max set, the time cost for making more materia drastically drops. I hope this was helpful, feel free to ask if you need more help

[@Manavine]

if healer crafted gear shows up with no piety in 7.15, there might be demand for it. Some healers are pretty mad over raid gear having piety so there's a market.

[@bidyogames]

The out of context kenny autoerotic asphyxiation scene broke me. xD

[@Manchild_Gaming]

I giggled a little when I slapped that bad boy in

[@christianflex4all]

As always just sell to the over flooded population of crafters who feel the need to max pentameld new gear day one. And once the market goes down the smart crafters will upgrade thier gear if they so choose.

[@SprDrumio64]

If you have 100 gatherers? SELL 👏 THOSE 👏 MAPS

[@nyrahl593]

There is way more to the new crafting gear than you're letting on. It is absolutely lucrative. The core materials will require crafting scrips, gathering scrips for aethersand. While the ingredients will need to be made which will probably require new legendary gathering nodes, and/or tomes for more aethersand, and you still have to HQ the synth. Point is, if you aren't the one making the final piece to sell. You should ABSOLUTEY be trying to get a hold of the materials to make the new stuff. On patch day you'll see a TON of party finders with "Buying scrip/tome mats". There is your money, tax free.

[@deice3]

The best gains were from selling stuff to all the late overpreppers panic buying stuff off the market board thinking they'll turn a profit 😅

[@seniorderpface]

There are opportunities out there but not in the guides like a lil evil but with the glam system update full sets of glams are desirable so some items that are next to worthless now can be driven up for profit

[@kotarakbg]

made 47 mil in one day just resell old prices materials with new prices today and still going on .. every patch is always option for A LOT of gil making so i dont know what you are talking about

[@Manchild_Gaming]

I believe you when you say you have no idea. The video just highlights that the big gil potential isn't on this patch and not to stress out. If you didn't get it that's OK.

[@barnicskobalazs]

Real and true

[@BoredDan7]

I think there are a couple opportunities you're missing here you're missing here. This isn't a HUGE gold rush like launch but upgradeable crafted gear does mean prices for HQ gear go up. Two weeks later when FRU drops the prices of pots (probably not food since it's not used at the same rate) will also go up. Though how in demand pots will be can be heavily dependent on how many early dps checks there are. TOP was miserable for that since the balance and gear at the time meant having to basically pot every opener for consistency and P1 cause so many wipes that the pull count would balloon like crazy. There is also new housing items, but more importantly there is new housing interiors which will lead to a lot of redesigns so housing items in general should go up. That said materia is for sure the big one. Which is actually a good reason to focus on crafting combat gear for those looking to upgrade or crafting the new crafted gear. Pop a spiritgain manual, pot, and food and just start crafting. If you can make a profit from the gear and mats alone then the materia is just the cherry on top. The new crafter/gatherer gear won't even be needed to do this and you'll get more spiritbond using the current gear anyways. All that said, definitely less opportunity for money compared to an even patch. Also I feel like just general less opportunity these days in general as it feels like there are way more omni-crafters then there used to be and in general more people competing on any of these markets.

[@Manchild_Gaming]

I think you summed it up nicely. Housing definitely but itll crash fast and hard, but there is probably some crazy cash to be made. I would say though ultimate participants is a very very very small group, and the need for pots for most will be weeks away, but still there should be a small uptick in demand. Either way well said

[@BoredDan7]

@@Manchild_Gaming The number of ultimate participants might not be large but the actual amount of pots used is pretty large. But how large is gonna be really fight dependant. TOP was REALLY bad for it because of P1 causing so many early wipes and requiring such a tight dps check. Pots during TOP were definitely selling like hot cakes, however FRU shouldn't be so bad for it. That said I'd still expect them to go up a bit and stay up consistently for a while with mini spikes on tuesdays.

[@naotohex]

I think there might be some money to be made for selling items to complete sets since the glam table wants full sets of armor now to lower your item put in

[@Teldarin]

How did I even end up here? My doo-doo brain has Eureka bunnies as financial advisers and they really suck at math, let me tell you.

[@dudeco93]

if you are able to craft the new crafter gear and gathering gear yourself is it worth it to upgrade time efficiency wise I am curious as I am already pentamelded on both of the current bis slots pre 7.1

[@Manchild_Gaming]

It could be the big thing is materia prices are gonna be high. I'd just wait for the hype to die down and then push onward. Maybe a few weeks? Unless of course if you already have the materia stocked. But even then I'd sell high buy low

[@gokkiyoutube]

Note that the augmented crafted gear can't be overmelded, and if people actually upgrade it'll create a materia surplus and materia prices should go down in fact.

[@iceman3317]

Unless you are doing high difficulty level gathering and crafting, there is no reason to update your gear until you can but the next set of armor with scripts.

[@iceman3317]

In fact, I didn't even update my gear until lv 100 for crafting/gathering and I was just fine during the Wukmekemeke quests.

[@BoredDan7]

@@gokkiyoutube That's for combat gear. People are talking about new crafter/gatherer gear which will be a new left side crafted set/tools that comes out in X.1 patches.

[@HSlSerathis]

Yo, hey, it's me! The comment u asked for for more guides. Like some idiot i got all my crafters to 100 without knowing why. It kept me busy for a while, but now that i'm there i don't know what to do to profit from then onward. Is Materia Farming the end all be all?

[@Manchild_Gaming]

In your case I highly recommend looking at this video i created, it teaches thee best way to utilize the marketboard with your crafters : kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3nJm5t_jZaGpdU If you still have questions feel free to hit me up

[@stealthzi7465]

This gesr is guna last for a long time though

[@Manchild_Gaming]

Absolutely, just no rush for it imo though

[@stealthzi7465]

@@Manchild_Gamingyeah that's a fair point 😊
