When players reach end-game content, they will likely find themselves short on Gil. Thankfully, there are ways to make boatloads of Gil rather quickly. Using the methods below will help players get back on track without spending hours farming or crafting. Using this guide, they can keep the money rolling in while focusing on the game.
Buy and resell from NPCs
Gil is the in-game currency that players use to purchase items on the Market Board. Depending on the player's needs, he or she may need to make boatloads of it quickly. However, if players are patient and willing to put in the work, they can easily amass piles of it within a few hours a day.
For example, purchasing Grade 3 Soil on the Market Board and then selling it at night when players are most likely online will yield a good amount of gil for the effort. This is because most players are unlikely to be looking for the item at that time and will not be able to undercut the player's price.
Another easy way to make gil is to send retainers out on ventures. These can be done by completing levequests, Beast Tribe quests and Grand Company turn-ins and often reward loot that sells for a lot of money.
Grow Thavnairian Onions
The most dependable way to make gil in FFXIV is by growing Thavnairian Onions. These onions are used to level up your Chocobo companion after they reach level 10. It's a time-consuming process that requires a garden furniture item for your housing plot or a flowerpot furniture item for apartments.
To grow Thavnairian Onions, players must first acquire the seeds from the Market Board or crossbreed other plants to get the required seeds. A popular method is to use Krakka Root and Mirror Apple to obtain Curiel Root Seeds, which can be crossed with Nymeia Lillies to get Thavnairian Onion Seeds. There are also several other crossbreed options listed on the ffxiv how to make gil gardening website. Players must then plant the seeds in either a garden or flowerpot with Grade 3 Thanalan topsoil. The seeds take 10 days to grow, but can be speeded up by using Fishmeal. However, it's still a time-consuming process that can be difficult to balance with other activities in the game.
Complete Class Quests
There are a few ways that players can make boatloads of Gil rather quickly. One method involves the purchase and reselling of items from NPCs, such as those at the Gemstone vendors or those that sell the Chocobo bardings players can use to level up their companions. It requires a lot of patience, as it's akin to Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley in terms of time needed for each step, but it yields significant amounts of gil.
Another way is to complete the class quests, which are a steady source of income. These are best done in late game dungeons that offer high-level equipment or rare drops. Finally, the player can also send retainers on ventures for a chance to earn gil. This is a bit risky but can pay off, especially if the player is a Crafter. Buying and selling the latest gear, food and potions is also an easy way to make money.
Teleportation and Buying Crafting Materials
There are a few other methods players can use to make gil. One is completing class quests, which often yield equipment pieces that sell for good amounts of money. Another is using the Cat-ear Hood accessory, which converts LP into gil based on a formula (gil = LP x character level).
Finally, grinding early game dungeons like the Gil Cave or Dragon Fang Cavern yields a reasonable amount of gil. In addition, many late game dungeons feature enemies that drop a decent amount of gil when killed. Players can also make a nice amount of gil by grinding daily roulettes. However, this method isn’t as consistent as completing class quests or selling materia on the market board. Additionally, the player must be at a high enough level to complete some of these roulettes. Still, if the player is careful about their progression, this can be an effective way to make gil.
