FFXIV has a lot to offer, from weapons to housing items to even a gil making competition. While combat classes are the most popular way to make gil, there are many other methods that can be just as lucrative.

Always keep your crafting and gathering classes up to date with new content. This will help you sell your items for a much higher price on the market board.

Diadem Materials

Whether you are looking to make gil by gathering or crafting, there is a wealth of options available. You can gather materials from the special Diadem zone, which is a great way to level your gathering class in a relaxing environment that doesn’t have any aggressive monsters and offers a never-ending supply of nodes to blast.

Gathering materials gathered inside the Diadem sell well on the market board and are used in special collectible crafting recipes. Plus, they generate Skybuilder’s Scrips, which can be turned in for unique rewards and XP.

You can also participate in Tradecraft Leves, which offer a reliable stream of gil while cutting out the market board middle man and providing a nice amount of experience. However, these are a bit of a grind and can be incredibly time consuming if you don’t know the times and routes to hit them efficiently. Using a tool like FFXIV Clock can help you determine the best times to head into each of the locations.

Retainer Ventures

Retainer Ventures are a great way to earn gil without spending any of your own time or energy. Players can summon their retainer using the summoning bell in any safe location, and then send them out on a venture. Ventures require a special currency, which can be obtained through Grand Company turn-ins, Beastmen Tribe vendors, or Guildleves. Each venture is a specific task that will procure certain items, and the amount of items that can be retrieved increases with each level of the retainer.

Players can also earn a good amount of f14 gil by leveling up their crafters and gatherers to max levels. This will increase the amount of materials that can be gathered and sold to the market, which in turn will boost their earnings. For example, Topsoil can be gathered and sold to the market for a significant amount of Gil. However, the player will still need to spend time putting it up for sale and potentially fiddling prices in order to maximize profits.

Furniture Glitching

Glitches that let furniture float in the air are a great way to add a little flair to your house game and make some money at the same time. Whether it's floating a tabletop, using the storage placement glitch to push furniture into place, or placing a wall planter in a corner (or even a window via a fake counter top placement glitch) the housing community has adopted these techniques to a large extent.

Gardening is a good way to make Gil, especially for players that have invested a lot into their houses. In addition to the gil you get from your plants themselves, you can also sell certain materials like Thavnairian Onion for very high prices.

It's important to note that every server and DC has different market conditions. This means that a method that is very profitable on one server may be completely wiped out on another. Therefore, it's important to consider a metric such as 'gil per hour' when comparing methods.

Crafting

While crafting is not the most efficient way to make Gil, it is still a reliable source of income. Crafters can sell their creations on the Market Board, which can be a great way to make some quick cash. However, players should remember that the Market Board is cutthroat and that undercutting other players can hurt their sales.

Another reliable option for FFXIV gil making is to complete Guildleves and Beast Tribe quests, which can earn you a good amount of Gil. Additionally, many of these quests also give you items that can be sold on the Market Board for a profit, including furnishings, mounts and even unique dyes.

Overall, there are a lot of ways to make Gil in FFXIV, but the most important thing is having multiple sources of income and not relying on any one method too much. Also, it is always a good idea to research what methods work best on your server as each can vary.
