When entering into an MMO, most players ask the age-old question, "So how do I get rich?" Final Fantasy XIV is one of the best MMORPGs on the market, but getting a hold of its Gil economy can be a challenge.

In Final Fantasy XIV, it is Gil that players use to buy goods from gear to furniture and weapons. Many players dream of saving up for their own in-game house, which is likely the biggest expense a player can make in the game. To get their Gil to the millions, players have a lot of options. However, some options work far better than others.

Updated February 1st, 2021 by Meg Pelliccio: Money makes the world go around, even when it comes to virtual worlds such as Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV. Fortunately, Square Enix continues to make new and interesting ways for players to make Gil in the game with new reward systems, areas, features, and more.

For players looking to farm some Gil so they can buy whatever they've got their heart set on, whether it's housing, rare gear, popular glamor items, or something else, we've got plenty of ways that the Warrior of Light can rake in the cash.

15 Sell Popular Glamor Gear

Players in Final Fantasy XIV are always looking to really make their characters their own and stand out from the crowd, but much like real-world fashion, there are often trends in glamor gear too, especially when new items perfect for glamors are added. The Casual Attire outfits have recently been added to the game and they are proving very popular indeed.

These Casual Attire outfit coffers go for millions, so anyone who wins these from the Kupo of Fortune mini-game can easily make some fast money. Other popular glamor outfits are often crafted too, so players should keep an eye on fashion trends and earn/craft the sought-after items to make some Gil.

14 Complete Weeklies/Dailies

As with most MMOs, Final Fantasy XIV offers various tasks and challenges that reset daily or weekly, and both can be a great way of earning some extra Gil. Dailies include roulettes and beastmen quests, both of which can earn Gil as rewards, or materia.

Additionally, there is a weekly challenge log that can earn players some easy Gil just by ticking off various tasks. Some of the challenges are very easy to complete, such as playing some mini-games, while others you'll simply earn naturally just through playing.

13 Hunt and Sell Minions

Minions are a fan-favorite element of Final Fantasy XIV, with many players trying to collect as many as possible. Minions are found in a variety of ways, such as dungeons, raids, crafting, gathering, and more. There are a fair few minions that are sellable on the market board, and many players earn Gil by seeing which minions are currently worth the most and then hunting them down to sell.

For example, the White Whittret minion is easily worth a million or two and is a random reward from the Hell's Lid level 70 dungeon. Players often replay the dungeon over and over in order to farm the worthwhile minion, then put it on the market board to reap the rewards. Another popular minion is the Golden Beaver, dropped from the level 80 special instance The Shifting Oubliettes of Lyhe Ghiah, accessible via Timeworn Zonureskin Maps.

12 Join Map Parties

If you get a map, it may be far better to keep rather than sell. This is especially true if the map is for high level players. It can be a bit of a gamble, but lucky players can walk out of map dungeons with far more money than they spent on the map in the first place.

What is most recommended though, is to get maps through gathering classes or as a reward from Khloe's journals. That way, you don't even have to spend Gil for the map in the first place. So even if the dungeon kicks you out early, then there wasn't a great loss.

11 Sell Rewards from Eureka

The Forbidden Land, Eureka Anemos is an instanced area that players can access once they have completed the level 70 quest "And We Shall Call It Eureka" given by Galiena at Rhalgr's Reach (X:9.8, Y:12.5). This instanced area is perfect for fans of Final Fantasy 11, as much of its content references Square Enix's previous MMO.

There is a multitude of tasks that players can undertake in Eureka and plenty that offers rewards too. Some of these rewards are prime profit-makers when put on the market board, such as the Final Fantasy 11-themed minions that can be earned from the FATEs in Eureka.

10 Earn and Sell Rewards from Wondrous Tails

Once players are level 60, they can speak with the NPC Unctuous Adventurer in Idyllshire (X:5.7, Y:6.1) and accept the quest "Keeping Up with the Aliapohs" to gain access to Wondrous Tails. The system has now been made even easier as rewards are no longer randomized each week and instead offer Certificate of Commendations of varying quality that players can exchange for prizes.

Each week, players can accept a new journal from Khloe in Idyllshire (X:5.7, Y:6.1) which offers a bingo-like system, where players complete trials, raids, and dungeons to earn seals and hope they score a line or two (or three). Some of the top-tier gear such as the Ornate Neo-Ishigardian armor and the Incitatus Whistle go for millions of Gil and can be sold on the market board for a hefty profit, but even the lesser items of maps and minions can get a nice price.

9 Get Into Gardening

This way of making Gil is for the more patient players, but it can reap big rewards. However, the player will need a property like a Free Company house or a personal house where they can tend top their garden. One of the most profitable but time consuming plants players can grow are thavnairian onions, as players use these onions to level up their Chocobo companions.

Doing so not only requires cross-breeding other vegetables to get the correct seeds, but also frequent and diligent watering. However, it definitely will get you a lot of Gil. Welcome to Final Fantasy meets Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley.

8 Craft Things Needed For Class Quests

Class quests make for dependable income for players wanting Gil. This is because many players go to the market board and buy items rather than taking the time and care to craft them themselves. If you look up what items are required to complete class quests, just craft a bunch of that item and watch as players line up and buy it.

Of course, this will require you to level up a crafter. It's highly recommended that players level a crafting job anyway, as crafting is a big part of making Gil.

7 Send Retainers On Ventures

Whenever you can, send your retainers out on ventures. There is a chance they will come back with loot you can sell. Some of the loot, depending on the retainers' class and level, can sell for a lot. For example, popular minions like the Fat Cat or minions that are incredibly rare are highly desired and can sell for up to millions of gil.

Sending your retainers out does require a special currency called "ventures." These are easily gotten by completing beast tribe quests or spending your company credits earned from FATEs and quests.

6 Run Expert Roulette And Sell Materia

Roulettes are a slow and steady way to make Gil. Not only do you automatically get a bit of Gil, but you can get loot worth selling. Unfortunately, most loot doesn't sell for much. However, the more difficult roulettes have a different story. Level 80 players can do Expert Roulettes and get the best of the best materia that is currently available.

Selling that materia on the market board every day will add up the Gil rather nicely. Also, many of the dungeons of Final Fantasy XIV are gorgeous and worth seeing more than once.

5 Craft Housing Decorations

Just because you may not have a in-game home does not necessarily mean you shouldn't craft furniture. In fact, crafting furniture is a huge moneymaker. Players with homes get really into decorating their yards & interior and are happy to spend loads of Gil to have the perfect home.

The best crafting class for this is Carpenter, as it has the most housing recipes of any class. Through a little research on the market board, you can see what is selling for the most under the Housing category and get to work.

4 Sell Loot From Heaven On High Or Palace Of The Dead

Palace of the Dead and Heaven on High are special dungeons that are best for leveling classes quickly — they also have very special loot. Between the two special dungeons, Heaven on High has better rewards but it is for higher level players.

Whatever loot that you get from these dungeons is likely worth selling. These include rare orchestrion rolls, minions, and more. Even if you get loot that is unsellable, it is probably cool enough that you'd want to keep it (like an incredibly rare mount).

3 Level Gathering Classes

Gathering classes will not get you as much Gil as crafting, but it also doesn't cost you anything either. All gathering costs the player is time. If you look on the market board at what is selling for decent Gil that is gather-able, then you can go ahead and gather while watching a T.V. show.

It is an easy task to do while working on something else. In terms of what gathering class is the most profitable, many would agree that it is the Mining class.

2 Make And Sell Boss Themed Weapons

Boss themed weapons are often the hottest items on the market board. However, be careful and check the market board daily to see their prices. They can spike or totally become cheap one day. It is pretty easy to see why they are so desirable though, as they are quite shiny.

Some bosses are also references to past Final Fantasy games, making them well-loved by the fandom. The more difficult the boss, the more likely the weapon will sell for more Gil.

1 Buying From NPCS And Re-Selling On The Market Board

This doesn't mean buy anything from any old NPC. This takes a bit more tact! What players can do is look for what is re-sellable on the market board when it comes to what they can buy from Beast Tribes and what they can purchase with tomestones as well.

Re-selling these items is typically profitable because you are basically converting what is only sold via special currency into Gil.
