Patch 7.2 is live in Final Fantasy XIV, and the market is buzzing with opportunities to make some quick Gil. Whether you're crafting, gathering, or trading combat materials, the first few days after a patch drop are prime time to cash in - especially with Savage Raids coming next Tuesday. Prices will plummet as supply floods in, so speed is of the essence. Here's a rundown of the hottest items to sell right now, based on what's moving fast and delivering solid returns. Let's break it down!
Craftable Items: Pots and Food for Savage
Gem Draughts (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Mind)
Why They Sell: Savage raiders need these stat-boosting pots—Strength for tanks and melee, Dexterity for ranged, Intelligence for casters, and Mind for healers.
Price check: Strength potions cost 18,000-19,000 gil (down from 26,000 due to underselling). Dex, Int and Mind are slightly lower, but still move.
Pro tip: Sell peaks of high demand before the loot, when players are stockpiling. Undercutters are ruthless, so list in small batches and adjust daily. Total sales: ~2.6 million Gil in two days from a mix of these items.
High-Quality DPS Food (Determination + Critical Hit)
Why It Sells: Provides 142 Determination and 85 Critical Hit - perfect for DPS chasing raid parties.
Price Check: Quickly dropped from 30,000 to 15,000 gil per stack. I sell at 15 gil each for volume, but you can push it up early.
Pro tip: Craft in bulk and list at a competitive price. Food is a staple, but the market saturates quickly - get in early. Part of that 2.6 million Gil haul.
Gatherable Items: Mats for Gear and Weapons
Blacksmith/Armorer Mats (e.g., Rarefied Ore)
Why They Sell: New Patch 7.2 gear needs these for crafting.
Price check: 2,500 gil each, selling steadily as crafters churn out armour and weapons.
Pro Tip: Collect in bulk to increase your profit. One batch netted 722,000 gil.
Potion Mats (e.g. Rare Herbs)
Why They Sell: Used for those gem drafts that yield three pots per craft - keeps prices low but demand high.
Price check: 866 gil each, goes fast.
Pro Tip: Cheap to collect, easy to sell - focus on volume over margins. Included in this 722K haul.
Weaver Mats (e.g., Pigment)
Why They Sell: Fuel Weaver recipes for new equipment and glamour.
Price check: 4,489 gil each, decent selling speed.
Pro Tip: Niche, but consistently pair with other mats for retainer listings. Part of the 722K batch.
Leatherworker Mats (e.g. Coffee Beans)
Why They Sell: Tanning mats for leather gear upgrades.
Price check: 8,899 gil each, solid demand.
Pro Tip: Less competition than ores - get them while they are hot. Also in the 722K pile.
Slithersand
Why It Sells: Eight required per Sanctified Light weapon (new Hydaelyn-themed glowing toys). Cost 125 Purple Scrips each.
Price check: 22,000 gil each - sell in stacks of eight for ~176,000 gil each.
Pro tip: Purple Scrips are your bottleneck collectables (like Rarefied Sykon Bavarois) to trade up. I sold a small batch for big gains; total unspecified but “a lot.”
Battle Materia: Melds for the Meta
Grade 11 & 12 Materia (Critical Hit, Determination, Direct Hit)
Why they sell: Raiders and gear chasers overmeld these for Savage prep. Grade 11s are hot because they're overmeldable; 12s command a premium.
Price check: Crit XI at 5,000, Crit XII at 6,000; Det XI cheaper, Det XII mid-range; Direct Hit XI tops out at ~7,000, XII slightly higher. Bulk sales (30-50) reach 100K+.
Pro tip: Farm via tombstones or hunt - sell in stacks. Moved 3.1 million Gil in two days.
How to Win the Rush
Act Now: Prices are already falling (e.g. cookies from 30K to 15K, slithersand won't hold 22K for long). First day sales beat the inevitable crash.
Diversify: Spread your listings across pots, food, mats and materials - get more buyers. My retainers pulled 3.1M (materia), 722K (mats) and 2.6M (food/pots) in 48 hours.
Patience vs. speed: Undercutters tank profits - list competitively, but don't cut too deep. Waiting for 26K on Strength draws lost out to 18K sales.
Thanks for Reading
Patch 7.2's early market is a gil piñata-gem draughts, DPS food, slithersand, and materia are your heavy hitters. Gatherable mats such as ores and pigments fill the gaps. The prices won't last, so sell now, not later. I've already made over 6 million Gil in two days - your turn!
Hope this helps you cash in on Patch 7.2's chaos! Stay tuned to MMOJUGG for more FFXIV tips to keep your Gil flowing and your adventures funded. Happy selling!
