I Spent 24 Hours Opening Maps... 

It's like watching Pokemon card opening videos I enjoyed as a kid. I can't be assed to shell (haha) out the money for it but I LOVE seeing results of chest opening. Glad to see more stuff!

I imagine maps aren't that pricy because gatherers would rather just sell them. I'm like that.

if you switch your retainers to crystarium or anywhere else not the 3 major hub cities, the tax will be less and it'll be more gil in your pocket; less tax to fork out for the buyer too.

Well, I see what is about to tank on the market board lol

Remember when crafting the Rebel Coats, there's no point in trying to HQ. They're glams. HQ doesn't sell for more usually. Since you don't have to HQ, most anyone with high craft can do it quickly.

This is super helpful to hear about, thanks for making this!

I sell stacks of elemental crystals (usually 500-600 at a time) when I go out to dig up maps. Saying you got nothing, but there's like 150-200 crystals per map. Reliable income!

Honestly the other maps you only need 2 people to do them tank/healer and you can do the EW maps like that two. They take a bit longer but you can make a fair amount of profit and may add the fun back into doing maps

If you don’t want to rely on mats just do lvl 60 and 70 full party maps. They drop alot of raw gil in the portal instances. It really doesn’t matter what drops.

I hope this video blows up and inspires loads of people to do the same which will in turn drop the price of these mats lol

Idk what happened in my server, rebel coat was like 1m, so expensive to buy, but im lazy to do maps, then about months later it's only 100k, that's a steal... 10x cheaper...

If you decipher one, you can buy another, and stash another in your chocobo saddlebags.

I never considered just farming old maps, even knowing how powerful BLU can be for the portals, too. I guess with less people doing the lvl 70-80 ones, there's still some gil in there! Thanks for the video and gil making idea! My current favorite way is roulettes for relic and gil + chilling with Eureka bunnies, not a bad gain for little effort.

well i guess i know what im gonna do today

My FC does map nights where we'll just all run 3 or more of the full party maps each in the party (or multiple parties if more than 8 participate.) and it's a surprising amount of fun and sometimes gil.

Good job. Seems like a fun passive gil grind

Whats the ACTUAL profit .. you know what the stuff finally sold for minus the cost of every bought map and tp cost .. THATS the profit ... so PROFIT was actually an estimated 700k as 50 maps at an average of 20k (minus the 10 you mined) is 800k spent to get that 1.5m .. oh and your thumbnail is clickbait ...

Buy a map. Open it. Teleport to zone. Fly around for 45m with no indication of what to do or where to go.

this is projected profit but if your a crafter you know that once you place items on the market board they will sit while your undercut constantly

Not the same obv but I farm hw maps solo as blue mage. Theres not any omg your rich drops, but plenty of gil to be had and I seem to get farthe rin that one then any other portal map. Ive got to the bottom like 5-6 times, I basically never get a full clear on other ones.

As someone who knows nothing about glam, there is no way to know about this stuff existing and having value unless you know people who tell you.

This is a great way to make some gil without working hard. You can easily make millions per hour by being tryhard and working at other things, but it's so simple to cruise about and just do maps. People who just want some cash to get by should totally do things like this. Couldn't be me, though. My endgame is hoarding gil like a dragon and making gil angels.

My question then is if you have actually made anything off of selling the items. I've gotten some of the high ticket ones, but from the looks of things it could be some time before they sell.

zonure is also soloable and you can get calf leathers there

thank you for showing another alternate way to get gils^

Did you just open the treasure in the open world and decided to not go into the portal? Or are those different treasure maps?

I have 220m and maps played a small part In this. I made most of my money selling mounts from faux hollows and desynth Also something about this mb start is that it's all based on ppl buying it. Which if u flood the mb nobody will. And now with ur guide every1 will do this and prices will tank. Mb isn't a reliable source of gill. Sell cookies in crystarium. Also a huge problem ur making is that ur counting ur profit before ur items sell

Mmm, wish I can access Shadowbringers content...

This was a cool experiment!

why have you done this, i was trying to keep this on the downlow

I just found another map yesterday too so YAY!

Is your title wrong or am I trippin? Why does it say opening maps for 24 hours but then you say in the video you did it for a month?

I know it doesnt really matter but not seeing that HQ on that rebel coat hurts.

Just did like 30 of these and didn’t get any shell leather

just hope you get 3 lines on wondrous tails

time for me to go gamble..

I look forward to your videos

Are these better than EW ones? I don't even remember if there are solo maps for EW...

what skin armor are you using

On my server shell leather is 200k+ 🤑🤑 Thanks for the tip

Sure sounds like a lot of work for no payoff.

Pretty sure you can't get Shell Leather from the Gliderskin maps. That's a Zonureskin Map drop.

any one farmed the saigaskin maps,they any good ?

I... hate maps XD I cant get people who love and grind them. Its costly, its tons of RNG, and in the end you are lucky if you get at least your investment back... Still... might give it a try... for a day or two max... :)

welp right now the market is destroyed on spriggan xD

here, have a potato for your efforts 🥔

That's not an exploit, that's just maps

This isn’t heskans Gil making method it’s his real money making method lololol

why map steal my energy they like kill u slowly xD

Psst psst. **insert creepy voice** It’s not a secret anymore. 👀 Jokes aside. Maps! Who knew? I did, when I went looking for shell leather for an urban coat! 😅

All the maps on NA are 35-40k :(

I wouldn't call that an "Exploit" ~

Profit? It seems like you forgot to subtract the cost of the maps from the revenue received from the items 😳. 50 maps at about 20k/each (even if you gathered some of them yourself is counted as opportunity cost…) is 1mil… it costs 600-900Gil to teleport to a 5.x zone - 50 times… then teleporting back to your mb or retainer for a new map so let’s say 1k gil teleport per map…so 50k in transportation costs for 50 maps. 1.5 mil in sales on market board will take a 75k tax cut…. so let’s break this down from the toppppp. 1.5mil revenue - 1mil map materials cost - 50k transportation - 75k tax = 375k for a week of maps…You can get more than this amount by doing all your roulettes on role in need in just 2 days 🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍. I hope those jackets and other winnings sell before the mb undercuts you to a loss 😳

Where the heck have you been

You don't get gil when you put things on the marketboard. You get gil when someone is desperate enough to buy the thing you put on the marketboard. You can craft 1,000 Rebel Coats and never make 1 gil if nobody is gonna buy them. I say this just because I'm worried the way you framed making gil as a bit misleading to players who don't understand you can't just "sell" something on the marketboard, but that you can only put it up for sale and hope someone will buy it.

Soooooon™ Blue Mages will be able to solo the level 80 treasure dungeons too!

so you made 15 mil gil but if you just had selled 50 maps you would have 10mil with less effort

You need to chill on the cussing, dude. The algorithm dislikes cussing.

SO in other words, buying a map and teleport fee's to and from the location costs you ~25k. For the time investment, this is a terrible gp/h profit.

This isn’t a secret… or an exploit… maps have always been known to be profitable if you have time to Invest in RNG

its a wonder why the mats sell for so much if its so easy to farm em.
