The Gil Gambit Galore

This was one hell of a journey and my most personally anticipated video I've had the pleasure of working on, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! Join me as I lose all mental health and self-destruct on a journey of making more gil, the journey from going from 4 Million to 10 Million. Yes I am dirt poor, thank you for reminding me!
Huge shoutout to ‪@hermos1‬ for his incredible Warframe video that was the biggest inspiration for this one, give him a sub, he deserves it; you can find his piece of art here:

I watched this video and learned absolutely nothing. Five stars.

Did I watch this whole video? Yes. Did I have any idea what was going on at any point? No. Did I enjoy it? You're god damn right.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Your arn't rich in terms of gil but you are rich in terms of video editing, 10/10

It really is amazing how shockingly little gil you get from playing the game normal. Well you can always buy max number of retainers and legally pay to win the market board.

Right?

Please rest and recuperate, that song was amazing, try working at a nice venue, and well done on your gil making. PS, the intrusive thoughts were a fun segment

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I don't mind repetition, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy the content! :D

[@BaithNa]

Instead of loot boxes from the GC, use those seals to buy glamour prisms because they sell quickly and for about 18-20k gil. You can also buy/sell the 5k seal items because they're uaed in relics but they sell slowly. I also turn my tomes into gil by using the allagan tomes to buy ShB accessories and turning them into the GC and buying crafting mats with the uncapped EW tomes. Materia is another good source of gil, run content that gives materia and do hunt trains to get materia.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

true advice right here, thank you!

[@froggybag308]

Lemon this video made my brain evaporate and I thank you for that 10/10

And then there are the people who just have gil piling up over time because they never spend any on ports or repairs, curtesy of being an omnicrafter with GC seals + Aetheryte Tickets via ARR, HW and SB hunts 😁

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I shall soon reach that level, all in due time

[@xiaocheng6643]

@@SamTheLemonBoy I can recommend hunt trains on max level, too. Great source of tomes, all the materia you need via nuts(can also be spent on upgrade materials for your tome gear) and cluster drops, and tons of chaos and light-hearted fun on top of that. It's not a big money maker, but a constant one with minimum effort or grind

[@AzuriteTV]

Yes

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Understandable

Still waiting on my 750m gil payment for being in this video.

[@Sayuameangkis]

I watched the whole video, are there truly people who never made 50 million? To be fair a few servers are terrible for making gil compared to others, if you dont pick the right server good luck gil farming. the important part is a system of about two hours a day in making gil and making sure your child slave- retainers working as hard as possible, also there is only one map that is worth doing daily but you need crafting.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

[@SilverMoonling]

It appears you haven't discovered the most consistent way to make gil: Selling beast tribe and crafted dyes. (: It may not be the absolute fastest way to get gil, but its brainless and adds up over time.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

It just works

[@treesuschrist1782]

Crafting is just an elaborate pyramid scheme setup by the underground lalafell mafia. I have 4 alts specifically made to ONLY gather maps daily and funnel the gil back to my main and Im currently sitting on a stockpile of 30+mil. Also, become a dye barron. I have about 15k pots of various basic dyes on my retainer. It can be slow to sell sometimes, but for like, and hours worth of gathering and AFK autocrafting, I make 600k. I also abuse the trust of Limsa male Au Ra as a highlander and make them pay upfront and then instantly ghost them. Ive made like, 20mil off ERP. Ive never ERP'ed once in my LIFE.
