Learning how to make Gil as the Carpenter can be a little bit trickier compared to the rest. Depending on a patch, Carpenter swaps with Goldsmith, Weaver, and Leatherworker on the newest accessories but hardly gets the big-ticket items only they are able to craft. Plus, making Gil as the Carpenter in FFXIV is also a time-consuming and costly process. Many people are trying to level up as quickly as possible and for that, they need to purchase necessary materials which can cost millions. This means that they will need to make a lot of Gil. If you are one of these people, this article is for you. So without further ado, here are a couple of ways of making Gil as a carpenter.
FFXIV Carpenter Gil Making Guide
The best ways for earning Gil as the Carpenter are to make must-have furniture, HQ fishing rods, and supply lumber to the crafters. Check in-depth explanations below on how you can make Gil as the Carpenter with all these methods.
Having The Role Of A SupplierÂ
It is a no-brainer that you will be asked to create the piece of lumber soon enough. You can make it by gathering a specific amount of logs and then smashing them into lumber. While the newer or higher level lumber can tempt you into focusing only on them, you should check the market board to find out what is actually in demand. A lot of lower-level lumber is often in high demand since the crafts, even the high-level ones, require lumber from the previous expansion or patch. Make sure to target places that have low competition and then craft up several stacks.
Lumber
Here are some Lumber that sells well on the marketplace
- Treated Spruce Lumber
- Treated Camphorwood Lumber
- Torreya Lumber
- Astral Birch Lumber
- Pine Lumber
Speaking of making a profit, you should consider performing the cost calculations of the logs versus lumber. In case you see many logs up and they’re going for more than a lumber you must put work in for, sell raw logs instead.
Selling FurnitureÂ
Selling furniture should not be the primary source of income for you as the Carpenter since your customer base for the furniture is smaller than the lumber customer base. Still, it can be a great additional income you can use to earn some Gil. One might even say that out of all crafters, the Carpenter has the most interesting and unique furniture crafts in a game. While it’d be easy to build everything, you should think through the items listed below. These are the items that many connoisseurs will be looking for when they are designing their houses:
- Cabinet
- Windows
- Partitions
- Cupboards
- Outdoor items (Stump Stool, Firewood, etc)
- Primal Furniture ItemsÂ
- Tier 4 Aquarium
Leveling Gear
Crafting job/gathering/crafting gear can also be a great way to make gil as a carpenter, here are some examples
- Holy cedar ring
- Hallowed chestnut ring
- Larch ring
- Persimmon ring
- White oak ring
- White ash ring
Some of these rings also have necklace/bracelet counterparts, which are great for creating as well.
Fishing Rods
Finally, fishing rods can be a great way to make Gil as a Carpenter. No other class creates the fishing rods which means that you should capitalize on this special exclusivity. While not many players tend to pick up fishing as the main gathering class or hobby, those that do have done almost everything already and do not really care about the cost of rods, even if they seem a bit expensive.
With this in mind, to maximize your profits while making fishing rods, first, go and farm up all the materials on the Botanist and then aim to HQ them. Don’t forget to pay attention to the upcoming patches and be ready to craft the newest rod. However, if you stock the HQ rods for every 5-10 levels, you’ll see cash roll in. It can be a great way to both make a good profit and supply a world of Eorzea at the same time.
