Whenentering into an MMO, most players ask the age-old question, “So, how do I get rich?“Final Fantasy 14is one of the best MMORPGs on the market, but getting a hold of its Gil economy can be a challenge.
InFinal Fantasy 14, 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 thebiggest expense a player can face 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 June 18, 2025 by Paul Woodward:While the postEndwalkerstory is reaching its conclusion with the upcoming Patch 6.5, that doesn’t mean that players have reached the end of the road in Final Fantasy 14. In fact,withDawntrailcoming outin Summer 2024 there is lots for players to look forward to as a new story begins. With that in mind, players may want to increase how much Gil they have on hand. Not much has changed when it comes to earning Gil quickly, so as long as players keep up with their Crafting/Gathering Jobs and do all the Daily Roulettes, they will have plenty of Gil when Patch 7.0 releases later next year.
18Keep Crafting And Gathering Classes Up-To-Date With Content
This may be the most important tip of all, as it can make all the difference to be ahead of the game. Any MMO will have many players affecting the economy, so those that are the highest level with the highest leveled gear will make the most bank when new content comes up with new items to craft, gather, and sell.
In a sense, this is a simple Gil farming strategy that does not require a lot of research. New things always sell for a high price with those who are the first to craft, gather, and sell it. This is especially true of gear, furniture, and the items required to make the new things.
17Sell Popular Glamour Gear
Players inFinal Fantasy 14are always looking to really make their characters their own and stand out from the crowd. Much like real-world fashion, there are often trends in glamour gear too, especially when new items perfect for glamours are added. Those that want to make a lot of Gil should keep an eye out for updates that add new casual outfits that can be worn at any level.

These outfits often take high-level crafters, especially Weavers. It can be hard work, as ingredients can be rare drops from maps or need a high-level gatherer class. However, these kinds of gear, when still new and fresh to the game, can sell for millions.
16Complete Weeklies/Dailies
As with most MMOs,Final Fantasy 14offers various tasks and challenges that reset daily or weekly, and both can be a great way of earning some extra Gil. Dailies include roulettes andbeastmen 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 challenges are very easy to complete, such as playing some mini-games, while others are earned naturally just through playing.
15Hunt And Sell Minions
Minions are a fan-favorite element ofFinal Fantasy 14, 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.

With each update, players can check if a new minion has been added and if it is sellable. If it is sellable and not so easy to obtain, then it can be worth farming certain dungeons to collect the minion to sell.
14Join Map Parties
If players 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, players don’t even have to spend Gil for the map in the first place. So even if players get kicked out of a dungeon early, then there wasn’t a great loss.
13Sell 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 isperfect for fans ofFinal Fantasy 11, as much of its content references Square Enix’s previous, but still active 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 theFinal Fantasy 11-themed minions that can be earned from the FATEs in Eureka.
12Collect Unlockable Crafting Recipes
No player has access to all crafting recipes unless they collect Master Recipes. These can be obtained once players reach level 50 and complete the quest Just Tooling Around in Mor Dhona, which can be picked up by Guiding Star (X: 21.9, Y: 6.9). There are three types of Master Recipe Tomes that can be unlocked: Crafting, Demimateria, and Glamours. Being able to buy all of them and use them requires the player to be at the highest level.
Having these recipes and selling the items made from them gives players an edge, as not every other player may be interested in unlocking these recipes. However, they do require crafting and gathering scripts to purchase.
11Earn 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. Players complete trials, raids, and dungeons to earn seals and hope they score a line or two (or three). Certain rewards can be sold for a decent amount of Gil.
10Get Into Gardening
This way of making Gil is for the more patient players, but it can reap big rewards. However, players will need a property like a Free Company house or a personal house where they can tend to 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 result in a lot of Gil. Welcome toFinal FantasymeetsHarvest MoonorStardew Valley.
9Craft 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 players look up what items are required to complete class quests, just craft several copies of that that item and watch as players line up and buy it. Of course, this will require leveling up a crafter. It’s highly recommended that players level a crafting job anyway, as crafting is a big part of making Gil.
