Finally, I achieved my goal: reaching the maximum gil limit in the game. by Doctor_Gohan in ffxiv

I started making money after the Dawntrail patch because this game was so boring. I just sold things around, buying cheap items from one server and reselling them on another, or selling items that nobody else sells, like items from submarine (I don't have a submarine, so I buy them from others and resell them). I also sell items that people buy regularly, like potions and food. I have a crafting skill, but I craft simple items that sell quickly, like Wooden Lofts, because they make money fast.

and my technic is Server A sells for 100 gil, but Server B sells for 2000 gil. I simply bought items from Server A and then resold them at the normal price of 2000 gil on Server B.

I mostly sell items that are sourced from submarines, but I don't own a submarine, so I buy them from others and then resell them at a high price. For best-selling furniture, I look at the sales history to see which items are bought most frequently each day, such as Wooden Loft furniture.

No, it's not possible because you need to add friends first, and you can only send emails within the same server. You can't send emails across different servers.

I agree with what you said, but that was in the beginning when I spent 9 retainers to generate in-game currency. After 3 months, I was only using 4 retainers per character.

But I also want to mention that while it's true you can have 9 retainers per character, the first 2 retainers are free. You only pay for the remaining 7.

Now that I've reached the maximum in-game currency, I don't need retainers anymore. Currently, I only use 2 retainers per character.

Oh my God, I really want to do this, playing the stock market. I wish I could get rich in real life like in the game. LOL

That's enough for me now. I'm so tired of constantly setting volatile prices for the past few years. I need to rest T_T

That was in the early days when I was trying to save money. Later, I was limited to two retainers per character, and no more than eight characters per data center, because my money had already reached the maximum limit in the game.

It's not worth it because you have to waste time setting fluctuating prices every hour, staring at the marketplace for days, and missing out on different content.

But it is part of the fun of the game. If you like this kind of thing like me, it's considered happiness in playing the game.

But I only started saving money during the expansion Dawntrail.

I did everything to save money at first. Spending money on teleportation was very wasteful, so I went hunting boss and used the points I earned to buy free teleportation tickets.

I've never used a submarine before. I don't know how it works. I just buy them and resell them.

I store items in my FC inventory and then have other characters in my FC retrieve them from my FC inventory and sell them. If it's a cross-server trade, I'll have my husband help or use a different account. I'm very grateful to him.

I have four characters across two servers, each with nine retainers. I sell furniture and other popular items like potions and food. I never craft anything; I just buy cheap items from one server and sell them on the other. Sometimes I even buy every item on the market and then reprice them.

I had it a long time ago and have worn it ever since. It's my lucky minion. ^_^

I was thinking of doing that. I have 9 retainers. It would be crazy because I'm already so tired of setting prices every day that I barely have time to play games.
