It's like watching Pokemon card opening videos I enjoyed as a kid. I can't be assed to shell (haha) out the money for it but I LOVE seeing results of chest opening. Glad to see more stuff!
if you switch your retainers to crystarium or anywhere else not the 3 major hub cities, the tax will be less and it'll be more gil in your pocket; less tax to fork out for the buyer too.
Remember when crafting the Rebel Coats, there's no point in trying to HQ. They're glams. HQ doesn't sell for more usually. Since you don't have to HQ, most anyone with high craft can do it quickly.
I sell stacks of elemental crystals (usually 500-600 at a time) when I go out to dig up maps. Saying you got nothing, but there's like 150-200 crystals per map. Reliable income!
Idk what happened in my server, rebel coat was like 1m, so expensive to buy, but im lazy to do maps, then about months later it's only 100k, that's a steal... 10x cheaper...
Honestly the other maps you only need 2 people to do them tank/healer and you can do the EW maps like that two. They take a bit longer but you can make a fair amount of profit and may add the fun back into doing maps
@@creamfilledcookie I'm just a little casual pleb so I sadly can't solo em xD and not huge on playing war personally but it's nice hearing others strats!
If you don’t want to rely on mats just do lvl 60 and 70 full party maps. They drop alot of raw gil in the portal instances. It really doesn’t matter what drops.
People can travel to other worlds to get mats for much cheaper than on my world, but i still sell like crazy even though in comparison to other worlds mine is just overpriced like it's jeff bezos wet dreams... don't think the amount of people that "play the mb correctly" is high enough ^^
I never considered just farming old maps, even knowing how powerful BLU can be for the portals, too. I guess with less people doing the lvl 70-80 ones, there's still some gil in there! Thanks for the video and gil making idea! My current favorite way is roulettes for relic and gil + chilling with Eureka bunnies, not a bad gain for little effort.
OR you play stupid. i buyed some buff food to flip on my world. a lot of competition tho so what i did was to place them on the marketboard at a price that still made me a satisfying profit, but wasn't really worth to go down to for my competition. the competition then bought it up to flip them themselfs. Sure i could have undercut correctly but the amount of time it saved me was well worth it.
Whats the ACTUAL profit .. you know what the stuff finally sold for minus the cost of every bought map and tp cost .. THATS the profit ... so PROFIT was actually an estimated 700k as 50 maps at an average of 20k (minus the 10 you mined) is 800k spent to get that 1.5m .. oh and your thumbnail is clickbait ...
My FC does map nights where we'll just all run 3 or more of the full party maps each in the party (or multiple parties if more than 8 participate.) and it's a surprising amount of fun and sometimes gil.
My question then is if you have actually made anything off of selling the items. I've gotten some of the high ticket ones, but from the looks of things it could be some time before they sell.
Not the same obv but I farm hw maps solo as blue mage. Theres not any omg your rich drops, but plenty of gil to be had and I seem to get farthe rin that one then any other portal map. Ive got to the bottom like 5-6 times, I basically never get a full clear on other ones.
This is a great way to make some gil without working hard. You can easily make millions per hour by being tryhard and working at other things, but it's so simple to cruise about and just do maps. People who just want some cash to get by should totally do things like this. Couldn't be me, though. My endgame is hoarding gil like a dragon and making gil angels.
there are solo-maps for every expansion, the ShB ones are the most profitable because very few people do them and the crafted items are very decent and have a broad appeal whre the ones from previous expansions are not demanded as much. Since most people currently do the EW-maps the supply is way higher, therefore the price is lower
I have 220m and maps played a small part In this. I made most of my money selling mounts from faux hollows and desynth Also something about this mb start is that it's all based on ppl buying it. Which if u flood the mb nobody will. And now with ur guide every1 will do this and prices will tank. Mb isn't a reliable source of gill. Sell cookies in crystarium. Also a huge problem ur making is that ur counting ur profit before ur items sell
You don't get gil when you put things on the marketboard. You get gil when someone is desperate enough to buy the thing you put on the marketboard. You can craft 1,000 Rebel Coats and never make 1 gil if nobody is gonna buy them. I say this just because I'm worried the way you framed making gil as a bit misleading to players who don't understand you can't just "sell" something on the marketboard, but that you can only put it up for sale and hope someone will buy it.
damn, that's expensive as hell for rng-based profit 🥲 just collect the map and then sell it, or do it once a day for the gil reward/challenge log. at least you spent 0 gil that way, well maybe a lil bit for teleport fee😂
I... hate maps XD I cant get people who love and grind them. Its costly, its tons of RNG, and in the end you are lucky if you get at least your investment back... Still... might give it a try... for a day or two max... :)
Profit? It seems like you forgot to subtract the cost of the maps from the revenue received from the items 😳. 50 maps at about 20k/each (even if you gathered some of them yourself is counted as opportunity cost…) is 1mil… it costs 600-900Gil to teleport to a 5.x zone - 50 times… then teleporting back to your mb or retainer for a new map so let’s say 1k gil teleport per map…so 50k in transportation costs for 50 maps. 1.5 mil in sales on market board will take a 75k tax cut…. so let’s break this down from the toppppp. 1.5mil revenue - 1mil map materials cost - 50k transportation - 75k tax = 375k for a week of maps…You can get more than this amount by doing all your roulettes on role in need in just 2 days 🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍. I hope those jackets and other winnings sell before the mb undercuts you to a loss 😳
I did subtract the prices of buying them :) overall I made a profit of about a million which is nothing crazy. everything sold at decent prices thankfully
Psst psst. **insert creepy voice** It’s not a secret anymore. 👀 Jokes aside. Maps! Who knew? I did, when I went looking for shell leather for an urban coat! 😅
It's not easy, maps relatively rare and the good materials from them are rare as well. If more people buy maps, because of videos like this, it won't be easy to farm them as people will buy hoping for easy flips of gil and map prices will go up 3x.
I imagine maps aren't that pricy because gatherers would rather just sell them. I'm like that.
Maps are very pricy. 30k each

I glam HQ just for the epeen.
Unless you’re levelling your crafter as hq crafts award extra xp
The craft is level 80, there no try, just use trained eye, boom instant hq.
That's an entire extra click. When I'm making twenty coats, I ain't got time for that. :p
Well, I see what is about to tank on the market board lol

You can find a guarantied map on every node until you gather one with the "uncover hidden items"-skill (200gp)
You also get gil just for clearing the map.
This is super helpful to hear about, thanks for making this!

I solo kumbhira (90 group) on my 650 warrior. Use chocobo for outside adds. Me and a paladin buddy duo the Ophios
@@creamfilledcookie I'm just a little casual pleb so I sadly can't solo em xD and not huge on playing war personally but it's nice hearing others strats!
If you decipher one, you can buy another, and stash another in your chocobo saddlebags.
This is the way
that's what I did for most of it, really good to be able to hold 3 maps :)
If you don’t want to rely on mats just do lvl 60 and 70 full party maps. They drop alot of raw gil in the portal instances. It really doesn’t matter what drops.
I hope this video blows up and inspires loads of people to do the same which will in turn drop the price of these mats lol
uh oh lol
Who cares there’s tons more stuff on the MB that can be sold lol
People can travel to other worlds to get mats for much cheaper than on my world, but i still sell like crazy even though in comparison to other worlds mine is just overpriced like it's jeff bezos wet dreams...

well i guess i know what im gonna do today
this is projected profit but if your a crafter you know that once you place items on the market board they will sit while your undercut constantly
OR you play stupid.

As someone who knows nothing about glam, there is no way to know about this stuff existing and having value unless you know people who tell you.
Good job. Seems like a fun passive gil grind

Buy a map. Open it. Teleport to zone. Fly around for 45m with no indication of what to do or where to go.
what skin armor are you using

@@apathy2454 you'd be surprised
@@apathy2454 also probably the people buying the stuff
we post on the market board for stupidly high prices
Just did like 30 of these and didn’t get any shell leather
Is your title wrong or am I trippin? Why does it say opening maps for 24 hours but then you say in the video you did it for a month?
Are these better than EW ones?
I don't even remember if there are solo maps for EW...
there are solo-maps for every expansion, the ShB ones are the most profitable because very few people do them and the crafted items are very decent and have a broad appeal whre the ones from previous expansions are not demanded as much.

I did some of the ew ones last year i was hard pressed to make back the 10k cost including the gil in the chest
@@hornet002 Unlike Shb,.I don't think anything old got pushed out of the party one to the solo one.
zonure is also soloable and you can get calf leathers there
I know it doesnt really matter but not seeing that HQ on that rebel coat hurts.
I can’t be bothered sometimes 🤣
thank you for showing another alternate way to get gils^

Nothing to do with the gil apart from buy a house and put furniture in there and play barbie doll house.
Mmm, wish I can access Shadowbringers content...
This was a cool experiment!
Pretty sure you can't get Shell Leather from the Gliderskin maps. That's a Zonureskin Map drop.
You can get them in gliderskin now don't know since when but when I started it was in the loot pool
just hope you get 3 lines on wondrous tails
I just found another map yesterday too so YAY!
any one farmed the saigaskin maps,they any good ?

Reminds me of those storage locker auction shows, they go made a profit of...but that only if anyone buys that stuff.
Sure sounds like a lot of work for no payoff.
time for me to go gamble..
All the maps on NA are 35-40k :(

I wouldn't call that an "Exploit" ~
so you made 15 mil gil but if you just had selled 50 maps you would have 10mil with less effort
it would have only been 1M and take a lot longer cause you wouldnt be buying the maps off MB just to sell them for ~20k again
that's not how math works lol
I dont know where my extra 0 comes from xD
@@cerubinso you want him to wait 50 days? How stupid are these comments
Soooooon™ Blue Mages will be able to solo the level 80 treasure dungeons too!
SO in other words, buying a map and teleport fee's to and from the location costs you ~25k.
For the time investment, this is a terrible gp/h profit.
Yeah but gathering them daily rather than buying every single one of them is way more worth it xD
You need to chill on the cussing, dude. The algorithm dislikes cussing.
This isn’t a secret… or an exploit… maps have always been known to be profitable if you have time to Invest in RNG
Usually the party ones, don't think any solo ones are worth anything but Shb's.
its a wonder why the mats sell for so much if its so easy to farm em.
