How to quickly and easily farm Gil in FFXIV

If you want to buy cosmetics, gear, and other such things or just want to teleport to different crystal locations, you must know how to get Gil in FFXIV. Gil serves as the primary currency in FFXIV for transportation purposes and purchasing items from Market Board and vendors. 

Since some things like housing cost you a hefty amount of Gil in the game, many players look for ways to quickly and easily farm Gil in FFXIV. This is where our guide comes in handy. 

• Here’s a guide on what’s included in the FFXIV starter edition.

How to quickly and easily farm Gil in FFXIV

There are a few different ways in which you can farm Gil in FFXIV. You can participate in various activities, craft and sell items, sell old gear pieces, craft trendy fashion items with a low-level requirement to sell them, and other methods.

Crafting and selling items 

Crafting hard-to-obtain items and selling them will always be a great way of obtaining a ton of Gil in FFXIV. There are eight crafting classes in the game. These are:

• Carpenter
• Blacksmith
• Armorer
• Goldsmith
• Leatherworker
• Weaver
• Alchemist
• Culinarian

Depending on whatever class you choose to pursue, craft the item that is hard to find or takes a lot of time to grind and then sell them on the Market Board to other players for a high price. 

Doing high-level raids, dungeons, and FATEs

Raids, dungeons, and FATEs offer you some of the best rewards, along with Gil. So, we recommend taking on the nearby FATEs till you are ready to take on dungeons and raids. Once that happens, grind them to obtain items you can sell for a lot of Gil while getting Gil as a reward. 

Hunting and selling minions

Minions are pets you can obtain as craft, purchase, receive as a reward from raids, and other such methods. Once you have minions that you don’t need, sell them for a reasonable price at the Market Board to obtain Gil quickly. 

Selling quest items on Market Board

Selling quest items, especially the Class Quest ones, at the Market Board will fetch you a lot of Gil quickly in FFXIV. Most of the time, Class Quests tasks you to craft something whose ingredients you are unsure where to find.

In these cases, new players head to the Market Board and start looking for the quest item and purchase it to avoid the hassle. You can benefit from this by selling these quest items for Gil. 

Tackling quests in The Forbidden Land Eureka Anemos

Eureka Anemos is an instanced area in FFXIV that offers a plethora of quests, lucrative rewards, and a lot of Gil. Tackle the different quests in the area, obtain Gil, and sell the items obtained from quests on Market Board to get even more Gil.

That aside, to unlock Eureka, complete the “And We Shall Call It Eureka” quest given by the NPC named Galiena. It is a level 70 quest that you can take from Galiena at Rhalgr’s Reach at X: 9.8 and Y: 12.5.

Doing dailies and weekly challenges

Completing dailies and weekly challenges is one of the go-tos for earning Gil in FFXIV. The challenges usually consist of completing a number of raids, crafting certain items, engaging in PvP, etc. 

The reset time for weekly challenges is 8 AM GMT on Tuesdays. Completing each challenge will reward you with a minimum of 1000 Gil, which can go as high as 2000 Gil.
