I just started out so I am very low on gil. I've dome a few quests and it said I received gil or items as my reward but I check my currency and it doesnt change. Also, did a few quests where I received gear. Gear is not there. Anyone know what the issue is? One item was Okadometsu other was a Tsah Mask. Turned in adventurers coupon and said I got a 700 gil reward but my gil amount never changed.

If you've recently installed, those are errors with text id's due to SE changing things in the client. They change it every month so it's a moving target, the powers that be try to keep on top of it, but sometimes these weird texts do happen.

Most quests do not grant gil. Check the wiki to see what the proper quest reward is. If it says you should get an item, and you don't see it in your inventory, try sorting your inventory.

thanks for the reply. Tried sorting. Same issue. Oh well. Do i need to update or anything?

Chat lines indicating the reward of quests are not correct, the rewards are, i.e. the bat wings, rabbit hides quests in San d'Oria will give you a small amount of gil but the chat log will indicate otherwise.

Adventurers coupon should only give you 50 gil. Definitely a case of misinformation in the message.

Same as a few spells where the actual MP cost are higher than indicated in the game text and graphics. SE reduced their MP cost in later updates but here Nas try to stick to their original cost.

thanks guys. I'm struggling to make gil! I dont know how I did it back in the day lol. I'll get there slowly but surely.

I couldn't make any real good gils until I was 40 when I could reliably kill tigers for fangs. Many people do leeches but I found em very boring.

Hey Skulls,

Honestly when JUST starting out, your best bet is to farm specific monsters for their crystals and drops. To get crystals you need SIGNET which you get from a Guard by the gate. Aka W.W. / I.M. / R.K before their name.

Example:

Windy - Crawlers/Bees for Silk, Wind Crystals, Earth Crystals (Which don't sell much), and Bee stuff

Sandy - Funguars/Orcs for Dark Crystals and Fire Crystals

Bastok - Lizards for Fire Crystals and tails

Once you get 12 of something you can put it on the AH and try and sell it for 10-15 gil under what they are selling for. So if 12 are selling for 1,000 sell for 990.


Two Important Notes.

Note One:
(There is no limit to the number of items you can sell even though it says you can only sell 7) Just don't click Sales Status otherwise you will have to rezone to be able to sell something.

Note Two: THIS IS SO IMPORTANT AND USEFUL.
You can access your Moghouse outside in the field. That means you are not stuck with the 30 inventory slots you think you are. Shovel everything in the Case & Satchel, leave Sack for your equipment so it is a bit organized but you can always use it as well for materials.

That will give you about 200 slots to work with vs the normal 30.

To access your Moghouse press "-" then press Right Arrow scroll to "View House" and you can see all of your mog house. Some are only accessible while in it, but the case has 80 slots, satchel/sack have 35 I believe. which is 150 slots plus the 30 you start with.

Your process to getting money should be.


Signet => Kill monsters => move stuff to moghouse and SORT, repeat until moghouse is full of stuff. Once full go to AH and spend 30 mins transferring things from Moghouse back to Inventory and on to AH sell at 10-15 gil less than what is asking until everything is cleared out from moghouse.

This is a good starting strategy and should be used for a long time, until you know more about how crafting/fishing/NM camping can help burst your Gil even faster.

Crafting - Huge gil investment, but great payout and useful too.
Fishing - Boring but good payout
NM Camping - Boring but good payout and good for specific items like Leaping Boots

What Job did you start out with?
