Hunt Trains: Maximizing Gil and Collectibles in FFXIV

 

Greetings, Adventurers!

In the pursuit of unlocking coveted mounts like the Triceratops and Victor, I've delved deep into the world of A-rank hunts in both the Shadowbringers and Endwalker expansions. Not only does this venture bring us closer to our mount goals, but it also yields a treasure trove of valuable resources. Join me as we uncover the potential wealth and collectibles that await in the hunt trains!

Pro Tip: If you're keen on joining hunt trains for your data center, check Reddit for relevant hunt discords. They're excellent hubs for coordinating and participating in these lucrative hunts.

The Collector's Cache: Turning Tomestones into Treasures

Poetics: With a surplus of Tomestones of Poetics at your disposal, a world of opportunities opens up. You are able to quickly amass materials for unlocking anima weapons relics from the Heavensward era. Additionally, peruse the various vendors across Eorzea for an array of minions and orchestrion rolls, enriching your collection.

Causality: While Tomestones of Causality may seem fleeting in their current use, collectors can leverage them to unlock the illustrious Manderville weapon relics. Embrace the challenge and add these impressive relics to your collection.

Sacks of Nuts: Though a newer addition to the game, Sacks of Nuts hold promise for collectors. Seek out the vendors in both Shadowbringers and Endwalker regions for a selection of minions, mounts, and orchestrion rolls. If, however, you have already collected all of these, do not forget you can convert these nuts into Grand Company seals, opening up even more avenues for acquisitions. Simply buy Ronkan rings from Xylle in the Crystarium and turn them in to your Grand Company to claim materials for anima relics, glam items, minions or delve into the gacha system of Material Containers which have a chance to contain rare minions and mounts.

Turning Resources into Riches: Gillionaire's Guide

Poetics: Investing your poetics wisely can yield a steady income. By purchasing Unidentifiable Ore in Idyllshire with Hismena and trading it in for Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil with Bertana, you create a consistent stream of gil. These topsoils are in high demand and sell swiftly.

Causality: The exclusive vendor for Tomestones of Causality offer an array of crafting materials, particularly those used to create end-game armor and coveted potions. Among them, the valuable "Alche-mist" item stands out, commanding swift sales.

Sacks of Nuts: While direct gil-making opportunities may seem limited, a strategic approach can turn the tide. Acquire Ronkan rings from Xylle in the Crystarium and exchange them for Grand Company Seals. From here, you want to buy Grade 6 Dark Matter. This essential crafting material, when combined with dark matter clusters by a level 50 crafter (except culinarian), produces "Magitek Repair Materials" which is in high demand by free companies.

For those without the want for crafting, these seals can be invested in anima weapon materials or sought-after submersible crafting components like scheelite, peacock ore, coke, hardened sap, or glass fiber. These items fetch a decent price on the market board, providing a steady source of income.

Embark on this journey of discovery and financial growth, and watch as your efforts in these hunt trains lead to both collection fulfillment and a healthy gil pouch. May your hunts be bountiful and your treasures abundant.

Warm Regards,
