FFXIV can be an expensive MMO; having enough gil stored helps you meet end game gear costs, stockpile consumables for raiding, and purchase cosmetic items like glamours, minions and mounts. Gil can be earned through guildleves, duties on the Duty Finder, dungeon runs and more.
Gathering
Gil is essential for purchasing weapons, armor, glamour, minions and mounts in Final Fantasy XIV, as well as spending it on items such as teleportation points, airship rides and chocobo rides, equipment repairs and equipment upgrades.
Questing, selling and trading items on the Market Board are among the most efficient means of earning f14 gil. But mastery in these methods takes time and requires consistent effort. Furthermore, prices vary between servers and DCs.
Retainer Ventures provide Grand Company Second Lieutenant rank or higher members an efficient way of earning an ongoing stream of Gil. These daily or weekly hunts can yield rewards such as hunt currencies or seals from Grand Company that may be sold or traded in return for Gil.
Crafting
Players have multiple methods available to them for earning Gil, such as completing MSQs, side quests, leves and market boards. Selling equipment or items through these channels also can yield significant earnings; be sure to monitor these regularly as prices can change quickly.
Gathering Gil is a viable means of earning currency at the beginning of each patch when demand for gear and materials is at its peak. Unfortunately, however, this method can be both time consuming and costly.
Treasure Maps provide another means of earning FFXIV gil, offering generous rewards and sometimes rare items that fetch high prices on the Market Board. But these ventures may prove risky; players could potentially lose large sums in Gil during this process.
FATE Dungeons
Fate’s key draw is not only its emulation of D&D, but rather how well-designed it is as a dungeon delver game. This is achieved by taking Torchlight’s familiar experience level, random gear system, and pet system and adding Fame levels accumulated from dungeons/questing activities as a way of giving more chances at high tier gear and epic boss battles than with Torchlight alone.
This gives players a sense of achievement while giving a GM the freedom to set a narrative storyline and have players pursue it, such as discovering an ancient keep from another world crashing into a dense forest or unlocking forbidden knowledge that opens a portal for an evil spirit to cause havoc among villagers.
Retainer Ventures
Retainer Ventures are one of the best and most consistent ways to make money in Final Fantasy XIV. This feature sends out your retainers on procurement expeditions, with their spoils providing an ample source of gil. Depending on the type of venture chosen, your retainers may be assigned specific items or allowed free reign to explore their world and find whatever treasures come their way.
To embark on an expedition, your retainer must at least be Private Third Class rank and unlocked their desired Retainer class. Each venture requires Ventures which can be earned through exchanging company seals, fulfilling leve objectives or completing beast tribe quests – keeping your retainers equipped is also key; higher quality gear yields better spoils!
Selling
Treasure Maps can provide players with quick and lucrative quests across Eorzea. Completing Class Quests, Guildleves and FATE Dungeons may also produce considerable gains for players. Furthermore, some may turn a profit selling equipment or items on the Market Board before or after patch launches when prices fluctuate quickly, potentially leaving you exposed.
Square Enix adheres to strict EULA and ToS regulations that prohibit selling Gil for real-world money; violators may face account suspension or cancellation penalties if caught doing so. Nonetheless, purchasing FFXIV Gil remains an effective means to acquire high-level weapons, equipment, houses and mounts as well as purchasing teleportation services and airship/chocobo rides.
