I couldn't play for couple days so I logged in this morning to see if I needed to refill my retainers, felt so nice to come into 300,000 gil. Refilled 20/20 on my retainers and logged out.
To whoever said they were low on gil, I was in the same boat. I got to 50 on my DRG and Carpenter at the same time and I had around 20k gil total. I couldn't even buy my AF carpenter stuff I was so poor.
Here are some BIG money making tips. Fleece, boarskin, diremite web are easily farmable and sell for 400-800 each on my server (Gilgamesh).
Also, see if you can get cheap (less than 3k gil) lvl 46+ jewlry on the AH and BUY THOSE UP!!! You wear those and grind out fates and then convert them to material and sell them.
Just those 2 alone, if you put in 2 hours a day into it, you'll easily have over 250k in a week. Easily!
GL, HF. Come to my server and join my FC, we all help each other out.
