How to Make Gil in Patch 7.4 of FFXIV 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 7.4 releases brand new gear for combat classes, as always this can be handy for statics trying to get an early clear but many non-raiders also buy the gear. This is often one of the best gil making methods available if you can be competitive in your undercutting by either undercutting large or often to maintain your position at the top.

That being said, there's 3 new factors to consider this patch:

• Extra raid delay with savage not releasing til January meaning there’s less demand for gear that they can buy when prices are low.
• Cute designs that stand out compared to previous sets, increasing demand especially with the glamour restrictions removed.
• Holiday season meaning players may be less active.

These can have significant impacts both at the release of the patch and just throughout 7.4.

With the majority of glamour restrictions being lifted with 7.4, the demand for outfits is huge. Many players will be browsing sets that previously they could not use in a new light, from the hundreds of pieces locked to specific crafting and gathering classes to the thousands of items locked to specific combat jobs or roles.

On top of the glams themselves having increased demand, items related to them will also increase in demand, most notably Dyes.

With new raid gear means a spike in demand for Crafting and Gathering Gear due to players wanting to craft their own gear. While Scrip Gear is a viable option, many players will still opt for crafted gear instead for the increased stats and efficiency when making sets for themselves or their static.

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.

That being said, the best time to sell, is often from panic preppers just before the patch so keep that in mind for future patches.

New combat gear and raid means new Allagan Tometones and therefore new materials to purchase with those tomes! These materials are incredibly important for making the new combat gear and therefore will be heavy in demand.

Some good advice can be to sell your tomes in bulk via PF if you want a quick mass sale but simply selling on the Market Board is also a good option.

The newest savage raid releases in patch 7.4 with many hardcore raiders doing what they can to prog and clear. This involves amassing thousands of pots as well as raid food.

The value of raid consumables will start to decrease shortly after the raid releases.
