How to Make Gil Without Crafting or Gathering in FFXIV 

Zepla: "I'll teach you to make gil without doing any shady business" Also Zepla: "COKE"

BREAKING: Zepla admits to black market trade deals with Lalafell Cartel. Details on this, and more at 11.

I googled how much a botanist can make and my heart sunk when it said 60,000 a year! Then I realised I forgot to specify ffxiv, I was looking at how much the average botanist makes in real life $$$ xD Edit: a year later and people are still liking this comment xD I'm glad my moment of stupidity brings you joy =]

These are not the ONLY ways to make gil without crafting/gathering! These are just the ways I am most familiar with and feel most comfortable recommending to new players. If you have other ideas, please share them in the comments! also: I recorded this video in 35°C room (95°F ).... i tried to seem like i wasn't suffering lol. i do have a/c now though!

Zepla: "Do not cap your Poetics" Me with Poetics capped for the past 9 months

Complimented somebodys outfit because I got caught staring at them floating (still dont know how) and didn't want to look like a noob and they gave me an envelope that unlocked hairstyles. Turns out it was that braid one, its adorable and I wish I remembered their name so I could thank them again after seeing this vid >.

The ALLCRAFT yesterday was so lit. Thank you so much for continueing to deliver these awesome videos!!! Hope there will be an update on the mounts coming next expansion! :) :) :)

Me: *Googles how to make money in FF14 without Crafters or Gatherers* Result: Level up crafters and Gatherers

" I'm broke in FFXIV because it's a Role Playing Game. " - Me

Here is also an good advice for people who love doing dungeons: Lvl roulette gives 20k daily, and for roles in need (healer): 11k run

I love it when my level 50 retainer would bring me back Ifrit weapons (when that was harder) I would be like "I gotta get 8 jerks together and kill this guy and my retainer just spanked him and got a weapon"

I'm a brand new player, playing for two weeks now, and I just want to thank you. You have taught me so much! If it wasn't for you, I would have made so many mistakes. Again, thank you.

A really great way to save on gil, and thus keep a steadier supply of profits, is doing hunts for allied seals. Spend them on aetheryte tickets so that you don't to spend money on teleporting.

So thorough, I really needed this guide. Some of the other ones are quite tedious and require so much grinding on crafters. You're the best 👍🏿

Can't wait for As-bun-gil to try this out! Zepla, you're a national treasure!

Thank you zepla. Its so refreshing to see the FFXIV talk about this..whenever i ask someone,i always get the response "No im not telling you my secrets to make gil" its so annoying lmao

Recently started playing and your videos have really help me navigate through the game! My sub is yours!

i know it requires some crafting but like coffee biscuits are the way to go for easy money lmao

"If you want to get your hands on the best sacks you have to be ready for things to get hard." - Zepla

I just started playing ~1 month ago, so I don't have as much experience, but this was the best ffxiv guide/content I've found yet. Thank you so much for the clear and easy to understand information! :) Subbing for sure

Omg thank goodness. As a sprout whos obsessed with minions and glams I am always broke!! LOL. Thank you for these videos they are really helpful!!

5:01 "treasure chest" I don't know if showing that part of the map was a coincidence but I'm laughing so hard

Thanks for the great video! loved the allcraft episode last night as well!!

I'm convinced Zepla runs her own underground colosseum.

similarly, since you're mentioning bozja, Eureka - either the bunny chests through Pagos/Pyros/Hydatos have mounts that can sell for 10-20 mil each, or cold/hot/moisture warped lockboxes with rarer bardings, emotes, hairstyles. Or NMs that drop expensive items like Crab/Cassie in Pagos, or the 3 magicite NMs in Pyros and Hydatos, selling ranging between 100k to 20 mil

Great guide, thanks! Yeah I have been using 4 retainers for a long time and it's my main source of income and I have like 30mill gil. Not a ton but plenty that I don't need to worry about gil. And I mainly use GC seals to purchase ventures.

Really love your content and your passion for FFXIV! Please stay as you are and keep going like this ♡

I’m on the last part of my ARR relic weapon and this came out at the perfect time! Thank you!!!!!

One thing you didn't mention about bozja is how expensive the Bozja Runner crates, the upgrades for bozja armor, can be. They're 500 basic bozja coins for head, hands and feet, and 999 for chest and pants(these are usually not worth it). I've seen(and sold myself) 500 coins crates sell for as much as 2.5m depending on how many there are for sale, and they'll regularly go out for around 1m.

Im new to your site, but I have to say I think you are absolutely Fantastic.. thank you for introducing me and helping me on my way in Final Fantasy!

Just the video I needed! It’s like she knew lmao I am currently trying to get my Zodiac weapon. And guides say I neeed a lot of gil. Ty

my retainers love bringing back coeurl bikini tops. idk what they're doing when i send them out but the tops sell for like 300kish so im not complaining

Rich and Zepla have the most compatible senses of humour; they both crack cheesy puns and innuendo. Seeing them on stream together more in future is going to be a treat.... their synergy on the transmog competition was great

Great video. Also grats on 300k subs! :)

I've been playing FF14 for a few months now. This info will definitely help, thank you very much 💜

Never stop with the puns. I love them.

You don't even need to undercut by 1 gil. It'll put the most recent marketboard listing at the top. So, you only need to match the current low price.

youre always posting these kind of videos exactly when i need them :D

Zepla thank you so so so much for this video since last week I have made 2-3m already and to be honest even added some of my own ideas to it and have also been using allegories to buy dwarven chrome or bench work refining sand so I’ve been making quite a bit of money since you released this video

Man, I knew I didn’t know enough about endgame content but even after ending ShB and waiting for EW I still feel miles away from all this and probably will never get to Bozja stuff or even a relic weapon. I’m a casual at heart what can I say

Me a new player only listening: Her saying to sell coke: Me: Me: “the drug?” Me: rewinds Me: ok so there not a drug market in FF14 but I was ready to do it, I was ready

very great vid Zepla =) only things i could possibly add is for people to just do their hunts. challenge log entries, daily roulettes, utilize their GC seals to sell crafting mat an or housing items, Fetes in ishgard, or even offer up some of their ingame currencies/resources (this is an ok method not illegal or against terms of service) to other players who want specific materials or items that are tradeable using said currencies/resources i.e. [tomestones, beast tribe, gemstones, etc.]

I've been looking for a decent Gil video, thanks sooooo much for this

Expanding on the primal drops a bit, consider holding onto the materials if that boss doesn't have crafted weapons yet. Crafted versions of boss weapons have unique visual effects and are worth millions whenever released, with the materials being just as valuable. New ones can show up with new patches and aren't advertised before launch, so checking in on that as soon as possible could net you huge profits if you have a stockpile of materials waiting to be sold. The only problem is that you'd be waiting an indefinite amount of time, since there are no rules or schedules to dictate what bosses get weapons at what time; some might take years (like Zurvan) but others might show up when the fight is still fairly current (like Hades.) With patience though, it's one of the easiest ways to make bank.

Congratulations on the fantastic stream yesterday you deserve it

Thanks for making that one of the best episodes of allcraft ever! Enjoying the content so much.!

Hunt Trains in Shadowbringers is a good way to make fast gil, each A Rank gives craked stella cluster + Nuts + Allegory, cluster can be exchange for materia and that sells quick for a good amount, Allegory can be traded for Workbench Sand or Aluminum Ore that also sells quick and a fair amount, and the nuts can also be exchanged for materia assuming you don't crypt augmentation gear

The way I made money recently was farming the recent moogle tomes and buying the modern aesthetics hairs and selling them. They usually went about 200k - 400k each and I ended up making around 1.5m gil

You forgot about bunnies in Eureka. I've made a fortune doing those. Especially when the hair or mount drops.

Hello Everyone! Zepla goes over making gil really nicely! So thank you for that! The other ways I also make gil is to do Wonderous tails every week. You have a choice to either getting a map or just getting a flat 10,000 gil item that you can sell. Though, some of the tokens you get from getting 2 or 3 different lines(Think of bingo!) You can buy some items that aren't market prohibited, I personally don't do that, mainly because I love running maps and currently do map parties every week. Other ways I also make some gil are: Roulettes(If you run a few every day, you can get a good chuck around 10,000+k depending on a few circumstances), Company seals after buying a few ventures to send those lovely retainers out and buying a few items as either vendor candy since I don't like playing the markets. Always check how much something sells for if you sell it to a vendor by themselves you will be surprised how much something is, Doman enclave turn in- now maxed out you can get 40k each week from turning in items though I mainly turn in those gold pieces I get from retainers when I send them out for exploration(18h one) because you do get a 200% bonus( when maxed out) So you don't have to give too many of them, Hunts do give some good pocket change- The ARR and HW hunts also give the hunt credits that you can then buy items that you can sell, turn in, or what I like to do is buy free teleport tickets to save on those teleports! -Just a little bit of what I can think of on the top of my head without crafting or gathering at the moment. I hope everyone is doing well :)

You are a delight to watch explain things about this game you seem to enjoy so much

Me, a refugee from WoW who just discovered glamour: 683 gil

Thats soooo helpful to get the crafted gear right away when you hit 80 !!! ;>

Ohhhh the puns, I'm new to your channel but I'm certainly listening for them already!

I picked up FFXIV about a week ago. I appreciate all your guide videos.

Just open ERP brothel. It's basically infinite gil glitch

One thing I've always done is donate to the Doman Enclave. When you max it out, your donations are worth double the gil, so any Allagan Silver Pieces and such you may have lying around, that's a great place to get rid of them. Also, every time I do a higher-level dungeon, I roll on ALL the loot, and then go sell it afterward. That gil adds up pretty fast.

Thank you! Planning on checking out FFIV soon, but I despise the undercut by 1 copper mentality some players in WOW classic have. I try to price my auctions fairly and when I check on them it is so annoying when someone has priced theirs 1c below my price. If you're going to price yours lower then price it lower. I usually consider 1% to 5% to be fair for my pricing. When I see people price theirs 1c below another persons, I buy from the other person. The price difference will not hurt me and I dont want to reward that behavior.

Crafting and gathering is all I do as my WHM skills have deteriorated due to the needs of having a toddler. So I love this guide as it means less competition at the market board.

Wow first time I've managed to see a Zepla video close to uploading. I love your videos I commented on your recent chat with Asmongold but you're a great ambassador for FFXIV and you do amazing work

Love your jokes, smile, and insight! :D Best combo!

Eureka is also a great way to make gil, especially farming bunny lockboxes in pyros! Also staying on top of killing the crab and Cassie in Pagos for a change at speed belt & cassie earring, and skoll in pyros for skoll's claw. Can easily make tens of millions of gil if you get lucky with drops in Eureka.

I’m surprised after just a couple of days of roulettes I had have 100K…love this dang thing

I like treasure maps. Even if you don't get sellable loot, you still get quite a lot of gil for each map. And you don't need a full group. We've successfully completed with a group of 3. My wife likes doing Eureka Pyros bunnies. Gold chests from there give quite a lot of gil and a chance at a rare mount that can sell (the flaming orange yeti thing). Similar to Bozja and Zadnor. If you have your adventure squadron up and running I like to make sure all my members have a chance at returning gatherer or crafter materia on each completed mission. Even though only grade 4 materia gets rewared, they still sell for a decent amount.

I need to watch your videos weekly, every time i watch your video i remember why i love this game, and i jump back on haha

i've been playing for a week or so and i've watched a few of your videos. I'm already overwhelmed with stuff that there is to do.

It’d be really cool to see an updated mount list and how to get them! As a mount collector and farmer myself, and your video really being the only one out there, i’d love to see a comprehensive updated list. Great video!

What we do with maps is one person needs everything, sells them, and sends us our share of the money!! Makes every map night a good gil profit :>

Super helpful video, thanks Zepla!

Hi there Z! Just wanted to say "hi" and thanks! You were the first FFXIV content creator I found over six months ago when I first started RRB and now I am complete with Shadowbringers and ready for Endwalker!! You have played a key role helping me get to this point. You read my mind today as I was just trying to figure how to use my company seals to make Gil, but didn't know if any of the items in there were tradable. :D

I just wanted to add an observation for the new players: you really don’t need much Gil to enjoy 95% of the game. Other than housing, new glamours/cosmetics , and consumables, most everything is cheap enough that the average player won’t be held back by not having enough Gil.

I have like 5.1 million gil after being out of the free trial for maybe 3 months. I know that isn't a lot, but I haven't done any crafting/gathering (unless people count buying stuff for GC turn-ins), just beast tribes and roulettes and MSQ stuff, and my money keeps going up. It already feels like I don't really need gil for much, but then I remember when I did buy some level 60-ish gathering gear and that cost me about a million, so I'm sure I just haven't seen it yet. Plus, I've basically said no to buying my own house, cause that aspect of the game just doesn't really appeal to me until they let you store items in your house to free up retainer/inventory space. I guess I'm just saying it feels pretty easy to make gil to me, until you get to like high end stuff where you really need tons of it. Oh, and since this part hopefully gets buried under the "Read More" thing... I remember some people in my server's NN saying they can get some rare Eureka drops that sell for millions, but are really easy to farm now, just because Eureka's dead. Makes me wonder if it isn't better to hold onto the Bozja rare items until Endwalker is out and people stop running Bozja.

SUCH a useful video, thank you!!

Thank you for the video. Any suggestions on selling items on market board? I always lose gil when items drop in price, or wrong stack sizes.

I have 3,439 gil and I've been playing for months 😂

I finally saved up 3,500 Gil and got really excited. Now I feel like I’m doing something wrong

This video is very helpful. Thanks!

Zepla i just saw your podcast with Asmond, which was moretheless yours. Anyway I loved it, funny/verry intelligent, and i agree with many of your opinions about MMOs. Conviced to play FFXIV. Great entertainment! GG&GL

Fishers also pull up treasure maps, you just need to use the snagging ability to do it.

So you're telling me i can have more than 300k gil at a time?...

I have just started watching your videos and, oh so many great bad puns.....subscribed

i know i;m beating a dead horse here but that allcraft episode last night was the best one yet, got me subscribed to this channel it was so good

I've been playing since ARR launched and I don't think I've ever broken 4m at one time. I'm bad at saving :(

You could see how hard Zepla tried to contain her laughter when she said "So, if you wanna get your hands on the best sacks, you've gotta be ready for things to get hard." 4:25 HAHAHAHA that smirk

Ayyy first thing I noticed was your Chang beer shirt. Nice!

Ty for this guide and to the people that is leaving helpful comments!!!!

I'm surprised you didn't mention Wondrous Tails ^^" I made a lot of money with selling stuff I got from doing it every week 😄

i've leveled my gatherers purely through company provisions, mined alumen exactly once, and now my retainer gets it for me. it's a low tier get rich quick scheme, sure, but it does get me around 20-30k per stack sold and it only takes a couple ventures to gather a stack. pretty good passive way to get money flowing in

"If you want to get your hands on the best sacks, you better get ready for things to get hard." Why have i only discovered this content creator now? XD. Comedy Gold.

For treasure maps, the least I've personally done them with is 3 people. 1 healer, 1 tank and 1 dps. Pros: Less time getting people to run the content with and more importantly, less people to share the loot with. Cons: Things die slow, higher chance of wiping. If you struggle clearing either add another healer or bring RDM or SMN.

Good advices for sure ! :D Tho, for more solo player like myself, crafting/gathering is still the best solution imo ; easy and reliable ways to get tons of money ingame.

i paid 15mil gil for the early to rise hairstyle when it first came out. (i even waited a few weeks for the price to drop, it was 20 mil) the massive price drop just makes me sad now.

I'm getting closed to 180 millions gil ^^ with an average of 2 millions a day. Some of the methods described I use, some I dont or only occasionally. Group Maps, Bojza and potd are ok but honestly I dont find them very time/gil effective. It takes way too long and way too much effort. I can make much more in less time with minimum grind. I use 1 hour a week where I craft A LOT of stuff which I then sell during the rest of the week. And some adds on when needed. Of course crafting is essential, and you dont even need to have them at max levels, there are plenty of new players at the moment buying leveling gears that sell decent and fast. I have all crafters/gatherers to max and I used to craft the best of the best but it actually was making me less profits, not mentioning there were too many sellers. The key is to find some niche where there are less sellers so you dont need to adjust prices all the time and with the mats that dont cost you an arm and a leg (yeah I'm lazy I dont even gather them for the most part), for maximum profits :) Also, sadly it is best not to talk about your specific niches or methods, because as soon as it is mentioned somewhere, the market crashes ^^ Also another little tip I can give you: resell your mats (even if that means you will need some again later), there is no need to keep anything unless it is super rare. 99% of the time you can sell them more expensive than you bought them. A lot of people dont understand how the MB works and will just use the lowest price available for small quantities while you can sell those way more expensive per unit then the big quantities... Same goes for HQ, rebuy any HQ that is selling for too cheap, you can sometimes sell them again 5 to 10 times more (and that way the market doesnt crash). Also last but not least: it helps to have an eye for fashion and be observant as a crafter. There are really nice gears that a lot of players wear as glams, if you look around, in no time you know what is popular, and they are not always expensive glams to make, sometimes just a gear which everyone else will make HQ will actually sell as glam, so you make a low quality one (which you can do your eyes closed without thinking lol), sell it a bit cheaper than all the HQ ones and hop gone for 100k in 2 mns ^^ (no I wont say which ones haha). Cheap and minimum effort for maximum profit is my motto :d

THAT'S WHAT I NEED, thank you!

This was fantastic. Thank you.

I have about 1 million Gil just from getting caught up until Heavnsward. Is this fine? I don't really use gil for anything.I might buy a weapon here or there and I do not care for glammer really. What is gil mainly good for?

But Zephla, are you involved in some bunnderworld market 🤣 ?

Amazing podcast with Asmon! Oh and playing a lot will gain you quite a bit!

One thing I like to do is weekly B ranks for teleport tickets from the Centurio hunts. It's like 50 tickets weekly, covers all teleport costs. Highly underrated, and lets your gil build up/not take that "small" hit every time you need to get somewhere quick. The daily hunts add up too, if you've got a few extra minutes to kill while in queue or waiting on something else like a gathering window. You get gil straight up from completing the hunts themselves, and doing every hunts daily hunts and B rank nets like 78k gil a week if you do them every day just from the raw gil acquired alone. But keep in mind it's also about 75/20/15 for Ranks 3/2/1 completion daily. So 150/40/30 a day if you do both sets of Centurio in Ishgard/Stormblood. That's 1250 centurio seals a week from the daily hunt board, which translates to about 312 aethereyte tickets a week. Each ticket can save you up to 999 gil, so from one week of doing that, you can potentially save yourself up to 311668 gil on future teleport costs. The real savings are in a range, of course, since not every single teleport is 999 gil, but with Sharlayan and Thavnair zones coming in, the range between teleports is only going to stay trending towards maximum. I'm not rich, as I'm always spending my gil on doing stuff. Potions/food to save time. Submarine materials like Kamacite to save time. But with the tickets on top of treasure maps on top of selling things on top of direct gil from roulette bonuses, I've never really needed to worry about gil.
