How to get gil fast in Final Fantasy 16? Valisthea is peppered with merchants and shops more than happy to take your gil in exchange for gear and weapons, but steep prices mean that you’ll need a steady flow of gil to afford any of their wares.

We’ll outline the best ways to get gil fast in Final Fantasy 16. If you’re also looking to craft higher-tier weapons, check out how to get Orichalcum in Final Fantasy 16 and how to get Stained Loincloth in Final Fantasy 16, two of the game’s rarest crafting materials.

Notorious Marks

Tracking down and defeating Notorious Marks is by far the most efficient way to get gil in Final Fantasy 16. Felling one of these mighty foes, usually bags you a hefty stack of money, typically in the thousands, jumping up to 20,000 gil or more for the fiercest beasts. You can keep tabs on what Notorious Marks are available at any given moment by visiting the Hunt Board in The Hideaway, which is located in the mess.

Side Quests

Completing side quests typically rewards you with Final Fantasy 16 renown, but also a sizable chunk of cash for going out of the way to help Valisthea’s downtrodden. Many of them can be completed in a matter of minutes and often are no more than a basic fetch quest with some combat thrown in. Though the reward for a single side quest isn’t much to write home about, there are over 70 side quests in the game – it’s all about quantity here. You can keep track of all available side quests at Alliant Reports in The Hideaway.

Killing enemies and bosses

Seeing that ‘Enemies Slain’ screen is satisfying, but also comes with some nice rewards, including, you guessed it, gil. The returns aren’t huge but simply going out roaming for enemies for a half hour at a time can net you a decent amount of gil. Bosses tend to earn you more gil, so it’s worth pushing on with the story if you’re low on funds as well.

Sell gear and weapons

Though merchants can sell you gear and weapons, they’ll also take any surplus off your hands. As you progress through the game, you’ll get crafting materials you can put towards better equipment, making the older gear redundant. Instead of stashing it in your inventory, head to a shop and sell it for a decent profit. You can also forge lower tier weapons and gear from readily available crafting materials, then sell these at shops, though this can be quite time consuming so is the most efficient way to get money in Final Fantasy 16.

To help fill your coffers by taking on marks, check out all the Final Fantasy 16 Notorious Marks locations. It’s also worth making sure you’re ticking off all the optional content by checking the full Final Fantasy 16 quests list, which includes all side quests.
