Or the people who have been playing since day one are able to keep up to date when the guild cap is raised and make a profit on things.

but life nowadays on making gil is worst as hell......

Where do the gil come from?

1. Beastmen (yeah, every 100gil or so adds up)
2. Chests/Coffers (They do give gil often enough)
3. Things sold to NPC. Many spells/items sold for quite well to NPCs.
4. Quests.

That can't be your source income. (I do believe the quest part, the rest must be because I am low level)

It takes a while to get the keys for chests to drop and at my level we only get 500 gil. Beastmen is slow at my level too (50 gil a drop).

I'm just going to do the fang quest, over, and over, and over.

(Tongyang is holding out :p)

although you can only do this 3 times, rank missions are easy source of big money. get r1-r10 i believe you can make an easy 300k.

He was just listing end-sources of income (where the gil that is circulated in the game actually comes from)

Yup, I wasn't saying that's how I make my gil lol

Oh >_>

A lot of the gil making methods that I've heard of for my level (33) such as killing crawlers for silk or mining really seem to differ in profit on Midgard. I don't know if its just more people on Midgard or what, but the price for a stack of silk is about 3k less and a lot of ores I hear about 3k less as well. So many of these methods have proven very ineffective for me, and I really need gil for Dispel and such. ><

Anyone know some other ways to make money at around lv33? I've tried hunting some of the big NMs but only to find I don't have enough patience right now.

Well a guy with dispirite, albeit awesome armor, spawned behind me; he disappeared shortly there after "/smile-ing and afterwards I had 30k in my pocket. I did however get a message every ten steps that said, "your butt is tired" and my movement seemed really slow.

[Nameless]

That made no sense.

[Sindinista]

Ya seriously, what the hell?

[Vivid]

eh?

Seriously now, from what I can see 300K is less than pocket change if you want better than average gear for your level. :sweat: It still bothers me that the influx of pure gil seems to be so miniscule compared to some of the prices. This is completely independent from making money by playing the AH, since after all there's no counterfeiting guild.
