When you are trying to choose between items to sell or trying to flip stuff between servers, this is a useful website you can use. However, understand that it collects data through players who have plugins installed; it grabs the data when they look at the items on the marketboard, so if no one has looked at that item for 5 hours, then it may not be 100% accurate and it does not update in real time. Still, it is a useful tool so I wanted to share it here since I did not mention it in the video.

You can easily gear your retainers with the level 89 artifact gear.
Also, the items used for Heavensward relics from the Grand Company vendor as well as the Idylshire vendor sell for a lot too
Nice glam
Scheelite sell pretty quick. you can also buy miniature aethyrites but they take longer to sell.
Ex farming, desynthesis for rare glamour materials. Most old ex fights are sub minutes 5 kills. Most glamour materials sell for 200k plus. To go further on your dungeon gear, use desynthesis there too, many materials are 2k+ in value.slow and a steady alternative to GCs.
The fastest and lowest effort gil making tip is flipping items. That said, levequests should not be ignored. A full 99 is roughly 10k value per turn in, so a million gil. Now you may think yeah you have to have a crafter… Yeah that is true. However, If you have a crafter you can buy the mats and make a one button macro, get all the spiritbond rate ups, then you get all the level 9 and 10 crafting materia on top of that. It is roughly a million gil for 30 to 40 minutes effort (and is not affected by market rate of items). You also complete challenge log entries (which also give gil) and get items & crystals which you can sell. Personally, I use Greater Spirit potion, Squadron Spiritbond, Gear Maintenance, Rationing Manual with Better Crowned Pie as the food.
A good way to make gil that doesn't involve selling on the marketboard is using BLU to kill the trash mobs before the first boss at the dungeon The Vault. Because you're going to be killing these mobs alone while being synced, the gil they drop won't be divided between all party members. Each run will give you between 5k and 6k gil, and will only take you 1-2 minute, so doing this for an hour nets you about 300k-360k.. The only problem is having to get the required spells and leveling to 70, but these can be easily done in a day or two. Also the game stops you from entering duties after you enter 100 in a single day (anti bot measure).
The spells needed are: Aetheric Mimicry (mimic a healer), Toad Oil, Basic Instinct, Mighty Guard, Pom Cure (once you're comfortable you don't need to heal), Eruption, Shock Strike, Glass Dance, Suparnakha, Ram's Voice, Ultravibration, Bristle and Self-Destruct.
My runs basically take 50 seconds each, combined with loading screens that's about 1:10 minutes. Here's a basic rundown of what I do.
Prep when you enter the instance: Toad Oil + Basic Instinct + Mighty Guard
Pack 1: Eruption -> Shock Strike -> Glass Dance -> Suparnakha
Pack 2: Ram's Voice (freezes enemies) -> Ultravibration (insta-kills frozen enemies) -> Bristle (powers up next spell cast)
Pack 3 and 4: Run past the third pack of mobs and stand in front of the fourth, then start casting Self-Destruct, this should kill all enemies remaining. Normally, some of the mobs can survive this, which is why we cast Bristle beforehand. Make sure to wait until they drop the gil, open the duty window and leave the dungeon, rinse and repeat.

If you're already running Ventures usually your retainers will also bring back Allagan Silver Pieces. They sell for 500 gil but they should be stockpiled and turned in in batches of 40 to the Doman Restoration where you can get 40k for them instead of 20k once a week. It's not a ton of gil, but you get them for free and afaik that's the highest value return for them.
Also just a word of caution in regards to Poetics, it's totally fine to use them for income at the rate you're getting them, but take some time to research what other in game stuff they can be used for if you're still going for progression. Lately I've stopped using them for income because they can be used to purchase the first stage of relic weapons which I haven't done. They might have other uses I'm unaware of since they're a universal currency, so if you were planning to do something in the game it's worthwhile to check if Poetics can be used for that.
You can also grind Bozja and Eureka for their specific rewards but those are instanced areas so they come with the opportunity cost that you can't use them to fill queue time for something else.
Glass fiber sells amazing on the MB.
These are pretty much all my own strats I've been using to stay afloat with gil so I can actually buy stuff I want. Good simple ways to make gil without grinding. Good tips. You also made me chuckle when you said "let's talk about nuts!" 😄
I think most of my market income has come from being too much of a completionist and trying to finish all of my crafting logs. It's probably not worth it for just making gil or if you are already sitting on a ton of mats but it's nice when going for achievements lol.
One of my favourites is to run either mentor or levelling roulettes with tanks for the adventurer in need bonus, levelling roulettes give 12,000 gil each time compared to mentor roulettes' 7,200 gil, but if you're doing the 2,000 mentor roulette achievement anyway you might as well do it as tank. 2,000 x 7,200 gil is 14,400,000 gil in total after all.
That's, uh, that's a lot. And that's before you factor in any gear you get or spiritbonding along the way. The same number of levelling roulettes is 24,000,000 gil, plus with the added bonus of getting a few thousand GC seals and three materia clusters every time.
i seem to remember there being some stuff from the grand company that you need for crafting turn ins or beast tribes or something that was a pain to grind for, took 10 of each an there were 4 or 5 items, or maybe it was an older relic step now that im thinking of it.. if so maybe not viable anymore? except for new players trying to get those nicer older glams (lets face it, the quality of the newer relics have dropped a LOT)
Since a lot of people are getting into housing right now, Miniature Aetherytes sell for a lot and sell pretty quickly. They're about 16,000 GC Seals but you do need the higher promotion ranks to buy them. Furniture in general sells for a lot and if you have a way of getting some without needing a crafter they can be very profitable.
Two more materials from the GC Would be Hardened Sap and Duck Bones. The sap has been the best selling one on my server for a while. Duck Bones are good for selling to vendors because each sell for 360gil from what I remember.
If your retainers are gatherers, you can also send them out to get specific crafting materials via ventures. So I generally turn in seals from gear to get ventures, send my miners out to get crafting materials, and craft housing items. It doesn't take a crazy amount of time, and reliably makes 6 figures a day. And the main materials and housing items I make are ARR level, so it's not like you need max crafters or gatherers. But you could also just have them gather materials from timed nodes like hawk's eye, and just sell the raw materials for decent money if you don't want to craft at all.
Eureka bunnyhunts are the only real effective way that is consistent. Without board that is . The board was key. Prior to endwalker. Now you are better off making gil another way. They gate keep with mods that square still allows. Just ignore all multiplayer aspects and just focus on the game. The dev's dont care so why should we my sub is 2 months longer after I intend to keep my sub even if I dont play cause wow is garbage.
From Grand Company: Minium and Scheelite. Used for specific housing items that sell easily for +50k each.
I flip furniture for profit
most money i make is thru RP focused stuff, im a freelance gposer and i can make up to 2.5 mil/hour doing photography, being hired for weddings etc, yes it's not a stable income but when it happens, its alot more than i can ever manage to spend.
currently my rates are 300-500k per hand crafted pose sfw/nsfw for 1-2 people and it only gets more expensive the more ppl are in there.

Little info on treasure maps .. you can collect one every 18 hours so it is a litte more then once a day. Also you can collect them pretty fast if you are above level 55. You just hit a node and use Luck of the Mountaineer(MIN) or Luck of the Pioneer (BTN) which forces hidden items like maps to appear. Also, the long retainer ventures are 18 hours not 12.
very good video, i completely forgot about the bicolor gemstones and ive been capped on those for a WHILE now
If you farming fates to complete all of the locations and get one of them to max (66/66 fates if I Remember correctly. Maybe 71/71? I mean all of 3 phases) chęć out music roll and other things that trader offer. Some of them can sell for 300k to even 1milion Gil 😀
And as Aitherea said you can farm fates when waiting for dung/roulettes and it's really worthwhile.
Also demimateria is good for me. Once in a while I checked MB and search for demimateria for 5k. It sells on MB for about 3k per 1 and you can sell it for 5k to vendor (ok 2k is really low, but when you managed to buy 100-200 of them, then it change right?) or if youre patent enough you can turn it to doma restoration to get 10k per one demimateria. But you can only turn 2 of them per week…
Thanks for the video!
Loved the footage of the Zalera Hunt Boat. Glad to see people appreciate our trains 🙂
