XIV Profitability — How to Make Gil in Final Fantasy XIV

XIV Profitability is a free toolkit for Final Fantasy XIV players who want to make gil without the guesswork. It pairs live market-board prices from your world (via Universalis) with the game's crafting, gathering, vendor, monster-drop, and retainer-venture data, then ranks every money-making option by estimated profit and how fast the item actually sells.

Ways to make gil, ranked for your server

• Crafting — the most profitable recipes to craft and sell, per class.
• Gathering — the highest gil-per-day mining and botany nodes.
• Farming — marketable items dropped by monsters, and where to farm them.
• NPC and market flips — buy cheap from vendors and resell, or the reverse.
• Cross-Server arbitrage — items cheaper on another world in your data center.
• Retainer ventures — the most valuable ventures to send your retainers on.
• Duty drops — tradeable loot from every dungeon, trial, and raid.
• GC seal deliveries — cheapest gear to turn in for Grand Company seals.
• Desynthesis — items to buy and break down into pricier materials.
• Crafting leves — cheapest levequests for EXP and gil.
• Tomestone exchange — best gil-per-tomestone conversions.
• Vendor browse & item search — any item's price, sales velocity, and sources.

How it works

Every figure is specific to the world shown at the top of the app, because the same item can be worth wildly different amounts across servers. The app fetches current listings and recent sales, does the math (material cost, expected sale price, 5% market tax, resulting margin), and sorts by a combined profit and sales-per-day score. It's free, needs no account, and nothing to install.
