How to Make Gil in Patch 7.1 of FFXIV Dawntrail
This guide focuses on Gil making for the newest Dawntrail Patch, 7.1, 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 7.1 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 general guide.
Treasure Map Content Updates
Patch 7.1 brought new cosmetic items available in treasure maps. These can sell for millions of gil making them incredibly valuable to the point that treasure maps themselves have also jumped up in value.
As of the current patch, this is the best gil making method that requires 0 investment unless you want to gather your own map.
Endgame Crafting and Gathering Gear
Patch 7.1 brings new Everseeker's gear for crafting and gathering classes, while this gear does not have the highest market potential due to crafters being able to make their own gear there are a few highlights.
These crafts are a little overtuned relative to the last few patches of DoH DoL gear which makes macros longer and HQ contribution higher. This provides increased value to HQ materials.
Materia is of course, just as important as ever when new DoH DoL gear is added. There may also be increased demand due to the eventual release of Cosmic Exploration expected to release in 7.2X. This may be encouraging more players to meld High Tier meldsets, or it could also mean the value of materia will go up again with Cosmic's release if Expert Crafts are added.
Ultimate Raid Prep
The newest Ultimate fight releases in patch 7.1 with many hardcore raiders doing what they can now to prepare for their prog. This involves amassing thousands of pots as well as raid food.
The value of raid consumables will start to decrease shortly after Ultimate. There may be a small bump when the 24-man releases, but it is hard to say given it releases on Christmas eve.
Augmented Crafted Gear
Augmented crafted gear released in patch 7.1. While not required, this does often significantly raise the prices of crafted gear which gives new life to the market.
