Final Fantasy 16: How to farm gil
There are several ways to earn gil in Final Fantasy 16, but unfortunately, there are no exploits or cheats to earn gil extremely fast.
Instead, you’ll need to complete quests, sell items, win battles, and succeed in hunts to earn gil. Here are the best ways to earn gil in Final Fantasy 16:
- Equip the Cait Sith Charm
- Defeat Notorious Marks in hunts
- Complete side quests
- Defeat enemies and bosses
- Sell your equipment and valuables
Best gil farm in Final Fantasy 16 — Equip the Cait Sith Charm
If you pre-ordered the game, make sure to equip the Cait Sith Charm as it increases your gil gain by 25%.
This is a huge boost and is essential to earning gil as fast as possible. Currently, there is no known way to get the Cait Sith Charm except for pre-ordering the game. While you can still earn gil fast without the Cait Sith Charm, it is a huge help if you have it.

The best way to earn gil fast in Final Fantasy 16 is to find and defeat Notorious Marks. Notorious Marks are found via Hunt Boards at The Hideaway and defeating them grants you 12,000 to 20,000 gil.
Finding and defeating Notorious Marks can take some time, but the huge sum of gil you get as a reward is more than worth it. Plus, you can get other creating materials like Gelatinous Mass, too.
Best gil farm in Final Fantasy 16 — Complete side quests
A standard way to earn gold in any game is to complete side quests, and it’s no different in Final Fantasy 16. While you’ll only get a couple thousand gil for completing side quests, they are worth doing if you want to grind for a lot of gil quickly. Be sure to unlock the Chocobo to make completing side quests much easier.

Every time you defeat a group of enemies or finish a boss, you’ll earn gil for completing the fight. While fighting groups of enemies for hours on end isn’t the fastest way to earn gil in Final Fantasy 16, when paired with completing side quests and hunting Notorious Marks, this is a way to earn gil that shouldn’t be ignored.
Best gil farm in Final Fantasy 16 — Sell your equipment and valuables
The least best way to earn gil fast in Final Fantasy 16 is to sell your equipment and valuables. After you’ve received better gear, you can return to a vendor and sell your old gear for some gil. You can also sell crafting materials and potions, but I don’t recommend that because those items are always more valuable on their own instead of being turned into gil.
