Are you dirt poor and begging in the streets for the crumbs that fall from the gold and diamond-encrusted pockets of Crafters? Do you want to make a decent amount of gil but hate Crafting and Gathering? Rhigitar is giving you some tips for making money without leveling any Crafters or Gatherers in Final Fantasy XIV.

First, I
need to emphasize it as much as possible: the best way to make gil is and will
always be with Crafting and
Gathering. The methods in this guide are just a few ways you can make a decent
amount of money without having to do any crafting.
7. Farm the Latest Trial
Farm the
trial, get rare crafting gear, sell the rare crafting gear, get gil! This is a
stable way to make money without using Crafters. Even the outdated Trial materials
sell for an OK amount of gil.
6. Hop Servers and Live on the Market Board
This is a
very tedious and slow way to get money. You are going to switch between worlds,
buy low, then sell high. The servers are mostly the same on all prices, so this
is going to be quite something to find a niche. But it is a great way for you
to save a lot of cash if you plan on buying anything expensive. Consider
hopping to a few other servers to check their prices first, and you may get
quite a good deal.
5. Sell Vendor Items
Sell
easy-to-purchase Vendor items on the Market Board. You can buy some items from
both the Market Board and NPC. So, if you want to buy something, check the item
description before you do because NPCs may sell it cheaper.
4. Buy Crafting Materials with Your Tomestones
Use your
tomes on crafting materials and sell them. Ever find yourself capped with the
old Tomestones and not sure what to do with them? Buy crafting materials and
sell them. This is the best use for the Tomestones. Don't bother using this to
gear up jobs that you hardly play, as you'll probably never use them. This gear
becomes outdated very quickly, with the normal raids having superior gear, and
the dungeons very quickly having superior gear than the Tomestones.
3. Maps
You can't
gather them unless you do Gathing, so each attempt will cost you 20-30K Final Fantasy XIV Gil on the Market Board. But you'll
be running with at least four other people. So you should be able to make the
money back in all those attempts, and you could also get lucky and obtain some
very expensive crafting materials or minions. And, each person you run with
will bring a map, so you can count each of those as an additional attempt on
top of yours. If you all bring an equal amount of maps, you should not only
break even but have quite a good chance of getting either rare crafting
materials or to the final room, both of which will net you quite a good bit of
gil. Even older maps still have expensive crafting materials, and some are even
more expensive now since fewer people are running those maps.
2. Join the Hunts
Each server
is broken down into worlds, and each world has separate hunt mobs spawn. All
servers have dedicated discords, where they run cross-world hunts. Running
these hunts will net you tomes, Cracked Stellaclusters, and Cracked
Planiclusters. Each of these clusters can be converted into materials, and they
sell for quite a nice chunk of cash. You'll also get seals and nuts, which can
be converted into FFXIV money too.
1. Desynthesis (Special Mention)
Yes, you
have to do some Crafting to unlock Desynthesis, but you only need to get your
Crafting to level 30 to unlock it. Then all you have to do is go to Ul'dah,
grab the quest 'Gone to Pieces', complete the quest, then you can use
desynthesis on any gear that allows desynthesis to get crafting loot.
The reason I
bring this up is that you can go into the latest dungeon, roll Greed on all the
gear and desynthesise them, and all of that gear you get could drop some
expensive crafting materials. In outdated trials, you can even desynthesise the
weapons or accessories that nobody takes to obtain the rare crafting material
drops from that boss.
