Dependent upon your world and patch cycle, there are various ways for players to earn Gil in Final Fantasy XIV. Miners may find success mining Diremite Web or Crystals which they can then sell off for a profit to other players.
Weavers can use enemy attacks as fodder for high quality linen yarn and undyed flannel fabric that crafters need for end game gear creation. Diversifying markets with multiple retainers to increase sales is also beneficial.
Miner
The Miner is the best item to craft for profit in Final Fantasy XIV because it deals a large amount of damage per second, can tank against higher damage per second units, and is relatively affordable to produce. Furthermore, its synergy with supporting units like Goblins, Bats Royal Recruits Rocket and Earthquake makes for optimal production results.
Miners can act as surprise tanks against Crown Towers and troops. By baiting an attack from one or more Towers, Miners can serve as surprise attacks while supporting units or units deal with damage from these attacks.
Miners can also be an excellent way to generate profit in markets with large numbers of players that tend to congregate at certain times of day such as after work and weekends. This strategy can be especially advantageous in markets with many active participants at any one time.
Fisher
Fishery is one of the fastest ways to make Gil in Final Fantasy XIV due to its constant demand for endgame gear. Each content update will bring with it increased sales of either Combat or Gathering items as newcomers look to upgrade their armor.
After work is the best time and place for selling, when many players are online and can pick up your items quickly. Each server may differ with regards to purchasing trends or specific times of day that work well.
The fisher is an opportunistic omnivore that feeds on seeds, nuts and fruit. Found primarily in mature forests they prey upon various animals such as porcupines, coyotes, black bears and bobcats as well as smaller game such as voles, snowshoe hares and mice.
Disciple of War
As their name suggests, Disciples of War specialize in melee damage dealing. They use both main story and dungeon content to earn ffxiv gil, which they then spend to purchase gear specific to their line of work.
Disciples of War possess an array of weapons and abilities. For instance, they can charge their weapon to fire an arrow barrage onto enemy positions from above or lunge forward swinging their weapon overhead for an incredible downward slash with greater tracking in Pugilist mode.
People in Final Fantasy XIV often pay for convenience, with Disciples of War being one of the best ways to make money in Erozea. Particularly as they can resell low level materials like cotton yarn and lightning shards at a profit.
Disciple of Magic
All damage-dealing Disciples of Magic jobs that utilize Intellect as their main attribute rely on this aspect for spell potency and dealing more damage, including Black Mage, Summoner and Blue Mage Limited Job roles.
Healers use restorative spells to assist their allies and mitigate damage, reverse adverse effects and bring fallen companions back to life. Healers begin in Gridania but can eventually advance their skills up the ranks to become White Mages.
Arcanists are versatile casters capable of performing damage-over-time attacks as well as crippling enemies with status effects. Beginning in Ul’dah, Arcanists may eventually advance to become Black Mages.
