This list assumes you have all your main quests completed, all your side quests completed, lvl 60 in any class requirement, and that you have no access to your retainer AT ALL. It also assumes you are standing on your own two feet: meaning no friends or FC to call upon for help.
1. SELLING GRAND COMPANY ITEMS TO VENDERS
Using seals that were presumably won from Roulette: one can exchange them with their grand company for any of the listed items below, and then sell item to NPC vender. 600 seals gets 1 item worth 360 ffxiv gil.
Note: You must be "Second ____ Lieutenant" Rank.
- Bamboo Paper
- Magicked Oil Cloth
- Glacier Crystal
- Urushi
- Composite Whetstone
- Heat-resistant Plaster
- Clear Fluorite
- Lampblack Linseed Oil
- Camel Hair
- Black Cinnabar
- Duck Bones
2. CLAN HUNT + CENTURIO SEALS
- In Foundation, there's something called "Clan Hunt Board" where you can pick up marks for targets. The total gil you get daily from completing all 3 levels is 17500 gil. There's also the elite bill you can do for an extra 5000 ffxiv gil. Keep in-mind that there will most likely be teleporting fees lowering your earnings, but this is still a great deal, especially for DPS only players. Any seals you earn during the hunt can then be exchanged with Ardolain at the Forgotton Knight for Old World Striking Dummy. Every dummy purchased can them be sold for 1198 gil!! Without retainers, there is no doubt that Clan Hunts are one of the best ways of making gil in the game.
3. CHALLENGE LOG
- Challenge Log has side objectives you can do that earn you rewards such as exp for your class and gil for example. The maximum amount gained through challenge log is 88,000 gil per week, assuming you do all gil reward related objectives plus the 30 Unique challenge one. it will take a minimum of 5 days to complete every gil-related challenge due to the treasure maps only spawning once every 18 hours, and still make a profit. Otherwise, all can be completed within a day.
My advice however is to unlock the challenge log, and then ignore it. The end rewards isn't worth the effort when you take time into consideration. And everything listed above can be done at a much faster rate for a larger payout.
4. TOMESTONE ITEMS
- When finished collecting items for your relic, you can exchange your tomes for one of these listed items, and sell them to a vender...
Poetics
- Minions in Mor Dhona costing 7 Poetic tomes. Each sale gives 60 gil.
- Armor pieces in Idyllshire costing 245 Esoteric Tomes. Each sale is 883 gil.
5. LEVEMETE ALLOWANCES (Gatherer: Botanist and Miner)
- The younger sibling of battlecraft. I say this because overall, the quests net you even less money, and take longer to complete overall! Still earns you more gil than what is listed below, but overall is just better to avoid.
6. ROULETTE "ADVENTURER IN NEED"
- Without a retainer, the "Adventuerer in Need" roulette is the #1 way of making gil for it's time and consistency. The best part is that it never goes away, and can be combined with other gil making methods. Have 1 Tank, 1 Healer, and 1 DPS class leveled so that you can be ready for any requirement. Then take your pick between the Leveling Roulette, the Level 60 Roulette, and Expert Roulette. Under a NO RETAINER logic, the Leveling Roulette has the most to gain, as it's 9000 gil + 2520 seals on top of any other equipment items you manage to Need/Greed for venders. Expert Roulette is only a close second. (see "SELLING LOOT DROPS TO VENDERS (combat)" for more details)
7. DUTY ROULETTE: TRIALS + ADVENTURER IN NEED
- This earns it's own category separate from other roulettes. People will no doubt be happy seeing Cape Westwind pop. But combine all trials together, and the average time to complete a trial is about 2 minutes. Some don't even last that long. Others can last up to 5 minutes. But theoretically; if there are no wait times at all, and the party doesn't wipe on first try, Trials "Adventurer in Need" earns the most gil in the game!!! Even more than Leveling roulette, and even more than an Expert dungeon of winning all the need/greed rolls. Sadly, the reality is that ques aren't instant even for whatever the "Adventurer in Need" is requesting. Trials roulette is not always reliable, but still worth checking out. Each completion gives 3240 gil.
8. ROULETTE DAILY
- This is the most obvious method of course. Make sure to do them all for over 30,000 gil, as every daily roulette is beneficial.
9. SELLING LOOT DROPS TO VENDERS
- Play the highest level dungeons available and always Need/Greed everything. Then sell them to venders once the dungeon is over. Dungeons like Sohr Khai and Hullsbreaker Isle (hard) have equipment that go for a rounded 700 ffxiv gil to 1300gil each.
