Practical, no-fluff guides on making gil in Final Fantasy XIV. Each one pairs with the live tools on this site, which price every method against your world's current market board.
The big picture, and how to use the site to find what pays on your world.
Crafting, gathering, farming, flipping, and retainers — how each works, what it earns, and how to tell what's actually profitable right now.
The one decision behind every listing — how fast you want it to sell versus how much you make — how the Best sort blends them, and when to lean each way.
A simple, low-risk ladder to your first million — no starting capital or trading know-how needed.
No crafting jobs? Gathering, farming, maps, flipping, ventures, and arbitrage — real gil with zero Disciples of the Hand.
Don't grind from zero — cash in the inventory past-you left behind, restart retainer ventures, and earn from the content you're already running to get current.
How the board works, what sells, how to price it, and how to profit from price gaps.
Where it is, how buying and fees work, unlocking retainers, taxes, undercutting, and shopping other worlds.
The seven categories that reliably move — consumables, gear, materials, glamour — when demand spikes, and how to check your world.
The most reliable gil isn't the jackpot item or cheap spam — it's things that sell a few a day for 10k+ each. Why that band pays best, and how to find it on your world.
The half most guides skip: pricing from sales history, when undercutting is a trap, and why listing your whole stock costs you gil.
Honest gil/hour ranges by method, what actually changes the numbers, and how to measure your own rate instead of trusting someone else's screenshot.
New recipes and gatherables spike hard before supply catches up. What to stockpile before patch day, and how to ride the curve instead of chasing it.
Make gil from price gaps alone: NPC flips, market-to-NPC flips, and cross-server arbitrage — and how to spot the spread.
Which NPC vendor goods resell on the board, why gated shops keep their margin, and the reverse trade of selling board items back to merchants.
Disciples of the Hand and Land: what to make, what to gather, and what to break down.
How to turn your crafters into a gil engine: finding high-margin recipes, HQ vs NQ, undercutting, and timing the patch cycle.
Miner & botanist money-making: what to farm, timed nodes, and picking the highest gil-per-day routes instead of guessing.
The steadiest market in the game: what decorators buy, why furnishing crafters are scarce, and how to time ward releases and new recipes.
Allowances are the scarce resource, not gil. HQ and multi-turn-ins, and when levelling by leve beats crafting to sell.
Buy cheap, break it down, sell the parts — how the skill works, the expected-value math, and when not to destroy the item.
Gil from content you run anyway: duty loot, maps, glamour and materia.
Old content farmed unsynced and solo: which duties drop tradeable loot, and how to value a run without falling for a fake price.
How timeworn maps work, what a chain really pays, and why the portal dungeons are the real payday.
Sell tradeable looks, dyes, and prisms; source desirable old-content gear few players still farm.
Turn the gear you already wear into sellable materia — how spiritbond works and which grades sell.
Ventures, seals, tomestones and scrips: turning time and spare currency into gil.
Passive income done right: how ventures work, which pay best, and pointing each retainer at its most valuable haul.
Retainer ventures, the GC seal loop, and tomestone conversion — a ~10-minute daily routine that earns while you do anything else.
The Expert Delivery loop: the exact seal formula by item level, which gear is cheapest to turn in, and how to spend seals back into gil.
Poetics are uncapped and most veterans are sitting on thousands — here's what they buy that sells, and how the current uncapped tome converts.
It doesn't pay gil directly — how Seafarer's Cowries actually convert, the daily workshop loop, and what it's realistically worth per week.
Earning scrips fast in the Firmament and Diadem, and what's actually worth buying from Enie to resell.
