does anyone know a way to earn GIL, im planning on buying a weapon for lightning and it cost 280,000, i dont even think ive got 2,000gil so i need to know a way in which you can earn some major GIL

Excessive farming of Adamantoises for Platinum Ingots for 150k a pop. 37% drop rate I believe.

Dude, that drop rate has to be lower than that. Something like 10%. I've killed 12in a row now and got nothing.

@Stoked up,

If you need to buy that weapon, I'm guessing you've unlocked gilgamesh shop. I'd advise you that the "leadenstrike" skill slows your atb down by 70% so its not worth the money (I personally went with Lionheart also because I love Squall lol)

If you cant take down an adamantoise, an alt source for gil would be to farm perfumes in Eden hall (assuming you've reached/beaten ch 13). Its actually the "most reliable" way IMO because sacrifices and the Santum Inquistrix soldiers drop perfumes like crazy. 1 perfume sells for 12.5K

no i havent unlocked the gilgamesh shop yet im still pretty early on in the game Chapter 5, im just basically planning ahead so i dont waste my components and i just had a flick through the weapons guide and  theOrganyx seems to be the weapon that ends up being the most powerful when completely upgraded and transformed to the Omega weapon with 750 strength and 750 Magic.

 

earning gil early in the game is a bad thing... but you can get Items from Soldiers (dont know their exact names, its booster in German), that you can sell for 500 gil each... other than that, Soldiers in Chpt. 8 and up (?) may give you items you can sell for 2,5k.
