Why would I not want my daily exp grind to be quick and easy so I can have more time for extremes and savages?

Work for an hour or two, buy a boost, and then do maybe 3-4 hours in Zadnor 3 and you've got a fresh 90. Saves you the trouble of ever needing to roulette once, and with all that spare time not spent leveling, you can go make even more money to skip it again even more.

Because the CT raids aren't fun. If you're gonna view it all as work, why not... just literally work instead of forcing everyone else to sit through some of its most godawful content so you can "save" fifteen minutes? If you figure it maybe takes around eight hours or so to go from 1-80, spending an hour or two's wage on a boost is saving you the equivalent time of 32 days of boring-ass AR roulettes. And I'm pretty sure it takes a lot longer than eight hours to get from 1-80.
 
Started on my Skybuilders an expansion late, holy crap I am not having a good time with the final steps. :cryblood:

The market seems really oversaturated. Like how many of these people are just two guys hanging out in a FC house by themselves doing nothing? How is a person putting on in game tracks a DJ? I don't get why SE hasn't stopped this yet and told them to use reddit or some other shit instead

I still don't care about the CT raids even after last expansion's relic grinding but the Ivalice raids are still pure crap to my taste.

You say that, but there's a couple of idiots who post stuff to streams on Twitch where a guy is 'DJing' and when I checked it out (I've been contemplating doing a General Twitch thread for PG and am looking for notable lolcow content), the venue was packed.

I think that SE might clamp down if the promotion of gambling keeps cropping up, to be honest.

Treasure map hunting in a group can be fun, the dungeons are such a tease, and appeal to the type of person who likes slots. 3 hours in an afternoon and you should get 200k gil not counting item rewards that can go from 100k to 2 million or more.
You can make a lot of money trying to just complete your crafting log. I've definitely gotten into it lately, and people WILL buy the shit you make, plus any extra materials you gathered.

If you pace yourself, it isn't as bad. If you don't, it's pretty fucking miserable. I only did it the once though

Get all the crafters except culinarian to 30 - you can realistically do this in just a few levee turn-ins if you don't have a 'real' crafter that got you into the firmament. Then, you can desynth loot from dungeons. Then you list the crafting materials on the marketboard.
It's a little tedious to list loot, though I'm sure there's an addon or some shit to help with it. I've got nearly every crafting class at 90 and I'm still sitting comfortably at ~7M gil, and I've never gone out of my way to expressly try to farm money. Ventures are also an easy, reliable source of background money. The Doman Enclave takes forever to pay out, but eventually it amounts to a free 20k a week.

What's a good way to know what to price stuff to sell on the market?

You can check prices when putting items up for sale. If there's a lot of items listed then the price is a good indicator. If there's just two or three and they're selling for 30k you need to consider if it's rare because of limited quantity, or if it's simply not in demand

Also when it comes to making money and being "soul crushing" I guess people have different opinions. Many find crafting and market manipulation to be soul crushing. A lot of people make millions just ERPing with horny guys, that of course can itself be soul crushing for some.
 
Been levelling a black mage since a week, only level 40 currently but I'm digging it. I'm one of those autistic people that keeps a job separate per character. Having it all on one character goes against years of SWTOR, WoW, LOTRO, etc. So I'm probably gonna make a few more different characters to check it out. Apologies to those who are tearing their hairs out at this point, but yeah, hard to change myself in that regard so I stopped trying. Anyhow, maybe when the time is there I'll switch to Red Mage on this character, we'll see how Black Mage keeps trucking along.

Hope you're prepared to go through 200 hours of main quest for each character

In addition to what everyone else said... Run your roulettes and complete your challenge log. That gives you somewhere in the ballpark of a million gil a week if you do all your roulettes every day.

But it's actually pretty inefficient time-wise. If you just spend a weekend or two cranking out raid food and pots and drip-feeding them to the MB over the next few weeks (to keep prices from crashing), you can make enough gil to last you an entire expansion.

Crafting for gil only really becomes a soulless autism pit when you're trying to pull a Desperius and have multiple gil-capped characters.

Just fyi, later jobs will be locked at higher levels (30, 50, 60, etc).
 
Only RPfags keep multiple characters on the same server.

RPfags also suffer the most from the lack of foresight in realizing just how much of the game they need to keep replaying over and over because of this.

I've made several million passively going for the ultimate 'tism achievement in PotD. The low floor sacks are worthless, but the silvers and golds drop replica glamour gear that goes for 100-200k on the market.

What I'm about to say is a more long-term thing, but retainers and grand company seal stuff can add up over time too if you're max rank at your GC and your retainers are max level too. If you make your retainers go on quick ventures they can sometimes bring back venture coffers that may contain expensive dyes such as jet-black dye.

If they bring back dungeon drops you can turn them in at your grand company for seals along with your own dungeon drops you don't need and recently they added crates you can buy with GC seals that will give you a random minion or mount that could also be worth a lot on the marketboard. Yeah it's RNG but if you keep at it you'll hit the jackpot sooner or later.
