How to Make Gil with Loboskin Treasure Maps in FFXIV

Want to make some serious Gil in Final Fantasy XIV without breaking a sweat? The ancient Loboskin Treasure Maps are your ticket to profit, whether you're digging for rare cloth or farming for quick cash on the side. Introduced in Dawntrail, these level 100 maps are a goldmine if you play them smart. Here's a relaxed guide to turning those dusty maps into a fat wallet - complete with a backup plan if the RNG isn't your friend. Let's get started!  

Timeworn Loboskin cards are level 16 treasures that you can collect once every 18 hours with a level 100 Miner, Botanist or Fisherman in Dawntrail zones. Don't feel like gathering? Head to the market - they're selling for around 12,000 Gil on some servers, although prices vary. Crack one with the Decipher action and it'll point you to a chest guarded by level 100 mobs. Soloable? Sure, if your equipment is solid (think 720+ item level). Inside, you might find Timeless Teri Cloth - a hot crafting material for level 100 Weaver and Leatherworker gear like body parts and shoes.  

Here's the catch: the cloth drop is pure RNG. You may get it, or you may walk away with a handful of gil and some tomestones. But even if luck isn't on your side, there is a way to keep the Gil flowing.  

Gather it daily (every 18 hours after your last haul) or buy it off the market board. Check server prices - 12K is a benchmark, but undercutters can drop it lower. Use aetheryte tickets to jump servers and get a deal if your home world is too expensive.  

Use Decipher to reveal the map's location (like Urth's Gift in Elpis or a Dawntrail hotspot). Pin it with a flag (L1+R1 on the controller), teleport over and press Dig under General Actions. Mobs spawn - kill them quickly with a synchronised level 100 job. 

If Timeless Teri Cloth drops, you're golden. A cloth plus Master Recipe Book 10 (Weaver or Leatherworker) will create in-demand gear that sells for far more than the cost of the card - tens or hundreds of thousands of gil. No cloth? You'll still get 5,000-10,000 gil or tomestones to offset your investment.  

Reinvest your earnings into more maps. The value of the cloth is higher than the price of the cards, so even a few wins are worth it. Just don't sell cards for less than 10k - you'll lose out if the chest's base gil is higher.

RNG hating on you? Skip the maps and farm Ravana (The Limitless Blue - Hard) unsynced. Here's how:  

At item level 720–730, you can shred Ravana in 10–13 seconds with any level 100 job. The queue is unlimited via Duty Finder - Paladin, Reaper, whatever works.  

You'll snag a weapon coffer (e.g., Paladin's Arm + Shield) worth 1,016 Gil combined at a vendor. Put it on your hotbar, teleport to a vendor (or summon your henchman) and sell it. Don't bother opening it - selling it separately won't increase its value.  

Each run's quick and nets 1,000+ Gil. Grind a dozen in 3-4 minutes and you'll have enough to buy a Loboskin Map without dipping into your savings. Use it to fund your cloth hunt - or just keep farming Ravana if you'd rather skip the treasure gamble.

Teleport Smart: Use Aetheryte Tickets for map runs to save Gil on travel. You'll burn through teleports chasing chests across Eorzea.  

Check the market: Timeless Teri Cloth prices fluctuate - sell when they're high, or make your own if you have the skills.  

Ravana Backup: When maps dry up or prices tank, Ravana is a steady 1K per run lifeline. Future patches may bring faster farms as gear creeps up, but this works now.

Loboskin Maps are a low-risk, high-reward hustle. The cloth is a jackpot for crafters, and even dud chests will keep you in the black. Combine that with Ravana's brain-dead farming, and you've got a cool way to stack Gil - whether you're funding a new glamour or just hoarding for fun. It's not about grinding until you hate the game; it's about playing the odds and enjoying the ride.  

Hope this little treasure map trick puts some extra Gil in your pocket! Stay tuned to MMOJUGG for more ways to prosper in FFXIV, whether you're chasing the riches or just vibing in Eorzea. Happy hunting!
