Farming Gil fast in Final Fantasy 16 could be vital for your success in the game. Some of the bosses like Titan can be challenging and having better armor and weapons can certainly help. It's also exhilarating to see your opponents' health go down faster. Here's how to farm Gil fast in Final Fantasy 16so you can take charge.

The Hunt Board in Final Fantasy 16

One of the best ways to get Gil fast in Final Fantasy 16 is by fulfilling quests by NPCs and the job board. The job board in particular is particularly lucrative as some of these monsters fetch 5,000 Gil to 20,000 Gil for their head, depending on the difficulty of the fight.

The creatures you fight against with the Hunt Board also drop valuable resources that can help you upgrade your weapons and armor.

Completing side quests can also net you Gil. They're also surprisingly informative when it comes to the storyline. There are some engaging side stories that you could otherwise miss.

Selling items in Final Fantasy 16

You can sell your unnecessary items in Final Fantasy 16 as well with merchants. Accessories in particular are worth a lot of money. For example, The Breath of Wind accessory can be sold for 16,000 Gil. Look at the effect the item has and if you don't think it will be helpful in the future, sell it! You'll grow your coffers in no time.

Make sure you sell all of your valuables too. These are objects you pick up that have no other use to Clive than making Gil off them. Hold the touchpad to perform this action while selling. 

How to increase gil earnings in Final Fantasy 16

Certain items will increase your Gil earnings significantly. For example, you can buy The Golden Testament for 5,000 Gil from Charon's Toll in the Hideaway. It increases your earnings by a massive 35%! Unfortunately, you can't buy two to stack this effect. 

However, if you've preordered Final Fantasy 16, you can get the Cait Sith Charm. Go to the "System" menu and on the last tab, you'll find your redeemable items. The Cait Sith Charm can then be retrieved. It will give you 25% more Gil when equipped. With The Golden Testament and Cait Sith Charm equipped, you'll gain 60% more Gil!

You can find Gil in the expanses of this game too as a pickup, but it's usually just 10 Gil or something small like that.
