How to Make Gil in Patch 7.3 of FFXIV Dawntrail
This guide focuses on Gil making for the newest Dawntrail Patch, 7.3, to help give you inspiration as well as some really good methods on how to make Gil while taking advantage of new content demand.
Best Gil Making for Patch 7.3 Dawntrail
Taking advantage of newly released content is a great way to make Gil. More players are currently playing and trying to experience this content, which can impact markets in a range of ways. This provides you opportunities to make an easy profit.
This guide will list a few of the biggest ways you can make money with incredibly in-demand items relevant to the current patch.
Please note that every server is different, and what works on one server may be less effective on another server. It is always worth checking your sale history to gauge the demand for an item or series of items. For other advice that is less focused on the newest patch, check out our other guides!
Patch 7.31 and 7.35 May be Better than 7.3 for Gil Making
7.3 as a patch does not produce many gil-making opportunities, with some of the best methods being before the patch even comes out. The main new items and gear to craft are for Crafting and Gathering classes. Ultimately, crafters and gatherers can produce their own gear so there is a much lower market demand.
7.31 on the other hand releases the next Cosmic Exploration Planet which will bring new cosmetics and rewards. Be cautious though because the first Cosmic Planet ended up being more of a "sell shovels" moment with most cosmetics being very easy to get, the highest demand was from the difficulty.
7.35 brings with it a new Deep Dungeon, these have in the past often been great for gil having some incredibly high-value items which have stood the test of time. Additionally, the new Deep Dungeon features additional rewards with the new Quantum-difficulty fight having exclusive rewards. Even the currency used to get into the fight can be sold on the market!
That being said, you should again be cautious. Occult Crescent showed us how easily the rewards can be unbalanced and lose all value immediately. At the end of the day don't put all your eggs in one basket!
Endgame Crafting and Gathering Gear
Patch 7.3 drops new gear for crafting and gathering classes which will be their BiS for the remainder of the expansion excluding relic tools. These items won't have the greatest demand but there will be some. Additionally, while the items themselves might not be hot-ticket items, some items are still valuable.
New Sand and Scrip Material
New materials exist to make 7.3's DoH DoL gear, and while many players can easily craft their own gear, people will pay for the convenience of not needing to farm what they need. Both the new sand added and scrip material will be in high demand especially with the amounts players need to craft gear for both crafting and gathering. It results in a lot of scrips to farm that players are happy to pay to avoid.
Crafting and Gathering Materia
In a similar vein, our resident crafters and resource gatherers will need literally thousands of materia for the best meldsets. With this set being the final set of the expansion, it becomes a lot more valuable to meld as high as possible which further increases materia demand. The best way to gain crafting materia is via Scrip Farming while Spiritbonding is optimal for gathering.
Endgame Crafted Combat Gear
While there is no new gear in 7.3, players will be able to augment the existing gear to push it further. This often drastically increases the demand and price of the items compared to how they are before the patch.
Allagan Tomestone Materials
Crafting and Gathering gear also use the existing tome materials while the increased demand for endgame crafted combat gear further pushes the prices and demand of these items higher. They may also see a small spike with cosmic's release in 7.31 as players rush to gear with new content.
New Treasure Dungeon - Vault Oneiron
Vault Oneiron is the new treasure dungeon added in 7.3. As always, this means a whole host of brand new cosmetics. Some of these will be incredibly valuable providing materials for new formalwear glamour alongside a range of other valuable items.
Additionally, this also means the prices of maps themselves go up and the demand in general increases. So make sure to grab your daily map!
