Do dyna. Solo if you have to, otherwise find a good duo partner. My duo partner and I are pulling in around ~500 coins a day and 35-45 forgottens, so it's about 2.2-2.3M each.
Salvage can also be decent gil too if you have a mule for third/don't have to split alex too many ways.
We sold quite a bit of abyssea drops back in the day, but now that it's been around for awhile I've found demand has kinda gone down a bit.
Fishing can be good I think, but I'm not a fisher so I can't really say =(
Chocobo blinkers are decent too - although honestly I found it so mind-numbing that if I was gonna sell cruor, I'd probably just sell stacks of cells. Quote: Fishing can be good I think, but I'm not a fisher so I can't really say =( i want to add to this that if u get Moat Carp at one of the right times what i mean is the market every now and then drops to really bad lows and then later really big his when it comes to the price on this so i know u can make money on it i did back in the day i should ask. put some fishing gear on to make sure u do not miss and a good rod and like 5-7 stacks of bait if u can and your set for a few stack of gil,if u need a few spots to fish this let me know in a pm i will share some of the spots i know.

Equipment;
THF Knife
Assn. Armlets +2
Raider's Poulaines +2
Rest could be naked for all i care
Wisteria lumber = 79,200/stk if you npc with max fame
Boyhada moss = 8k or so if trade to Meylon (i personally trade w/ mules who I rape every scroll/misc quest i can with)
Tree Cuttings same NPC
Conquest points trade for VW cells that AH 90-200k/stk
BST99 Falcorr rapes Horns of war KS99 sell shank for 1M if it's full moon/lightsday I'll pop NQ and try for a savory (just sold one for 6M)
And ofc Dynamis, but I haven't done it lately sick of it and it's hoardes of perle clad BST's
couple things here, have more gear on your thf would increase your kill speed thus increasing your gil over time through drops,
moss is probably on his server even at least 20k/stack ah,
and you got ripped off bad on that savory shank, can sell those 9-10mil easy. Not on my server. 5.5-6 is about average. the 9-10M ones Ive seen have been stagnating since january or before.

Best ways I've found. Dyna daily. 200 pieces average for a solo is rly nice gil. Garudite farming. Very simple. Just go to grauberg S and fight the decent challenge sappling. Voidwatch is nice too. If you are just after gil, don't trade cells, and you will make almost 80k cruor a run, which converts to about 200k gil almost. And you have the chance to get metals and other things too. You can also just xp, that gives decent cruor and requires no effort lol. You can also farm NM popsets in abyssea for empyrian items. People buy them like candy.

Also forgot to mention sea pops and znms, although sea pops might not be the best gil/time ratio. Fourth/Fifth/Sixth virtues can sell for a bit if you don't have someone to kill JoL/AV with. Might also be able to sell torques/capes to lazy people~
A good duo can easily do ALL the znms (minus pw, obviously) - some of the T4 drops (most notably Hachi Legs and Akalurops) still sell pretty decently, and you can either try to sell trophies or make a PW pop to sell/keep/use.

there's a background story behind that, I don't remember it too well though. Something about someone farming a relic by solely farming Fire Clusters.

Oh please. It's happened so often that it's just dumb to have a LS bank. There is no need for it.
I'm not disputing the fact that most Linkshell Banks have been run by shady morality, but to project an absolute label is to perpetuate your own ignorance; try to be a little more open minded, because as it happens - contrary to popular belief - there are actually people who play this game that do in fact have a notable, ethical inclination.
People who exploit and extort will continue to do so, despite the circumstances that they do it in - differing concepts may present easier means to achieve nefarious gains, but ultimately, it's people who orchestrate the notion - not the other way around.
Back on track...
I recommend reading the Bradygames Guide, as it has lots of useful information pertaining to H.E.L.M., Water Ores, Jaggedy-Eared Jack and ***; I feel so much smarter that I can practically see in the dark.
Cruor Parties are good, too.
Show some reason that a ls bank is needed, for anything at all, especially in this stage of the game.

EDIT: It seems they only do this when I put stacks up. When I'm not farming clusters 0 stacks up ><

I never said it was needed, but having one that is run by someone who is responsible isn't a bad thing, either.
To avoid confusion, I'm leaning more towards a Gil Pot scenario; having a "reserve fund" is fairly redundant at this point, I completely agree, because really the only thing that comes to mind would be Legion, and the entry fee is minimal when split.
no having one run by someone honest isnt' bad, it's just that besides prov/archdyna, what would you use a bank even for, there's nothing.

This is where I disagree; like you mentioned, a lot of the "big ticket" items (Meteor, Marrows, and what have you) are both distributed to members and sold (in my Linkshell, as an example). Emphasis is placed not so much on consistent, monetary gain, but rather the fact that everyone is gaining something in some capacity. If anything, it's a morale booster that strengthens the ties of the roster. I've made just under 32m in several months from Gil Pot pay-outs, simply from doing day-to-day events, so I'm not about to go against the system (because it's in the right hands).
day to day events of what. if youre doing group dynamis, youre losing money, and the only other thing i can think of is emp farming, and i guess if youre constantly doing it day after day with 10+ people it might be easier to bank then split (otherwise you can just split at the end of the day each time)
i'm not really trying to argue the corruptness of the system, but rather the efficiency of the system as a whole.

My old LS had a bank, but I had more gil than their entire bank, so there wasn't much incentive to rob them lol.

1) Level up warrior
2) Get a decent - PDT/-DT set up
3) Get a whm buddy or a second char.
4) Shout in Jeuno for an hour for a fell cleave party @ 100k or so per hour.
5)?????
6)Profit!
Or you can do like most of us do sell HMP's from VW and npc junk.
You can level up bst and do some dynamis.
Or be a **** and buy it like most people who have 10+ relics in under a month and 5 Empy's.
