Hence the 391 mil, I doubt anyone in there right mind could farm that up.

Come on. What kind of psycho would buy that much gil? We're talking about the kind of money that can buy you a couple of new cars or pay off a mortgage for that amount of gil.

My guess is high level crafter or competent Photoshopper.

I know people on my server who have 3x-4x that much but they are so far ahead in the crafting game they pull in millions a day. I highly doubt this is a photoshopping job (just look at his/her gear!).

You can add white boxes around things easy enough and borrowing stuff from your friends (e-bow) can make you look like you have a lot of money. The gil amount looks true with enough editing.

That still seems liek a lot of gil and equipment though

Look at his job and main weapon.

If he's got a high craft along with that. I think it's very possible.

Just because he/she has a Thief Knife doesnt mean they are rich. It would take some MASSIVE farming to make that amount of gil and i really dont think people have that kind of time.

The only logical theories as far as im concerned is a) they are rich as hell and buy gil or b) they have a high lvl craft and a good HNM LS to help them get money/supplies

Uh, ya...no one is farming up 300+ million gil.

The only feasible way to have that much is to be a high level crafter and corner a market and/or be in a very prominent HNMLS. I would think it's a combination of both.

Could be holder of a HNMLS fund, meaning that gil isnt his. Even if thats an edit, there are people out there like this. Just think of the gil holders of the top (or even not so "top") LS's on your server.

There's a Forum Admin that posted the gil he had on here before it was 250 mil. If you ever pay attention to what the price of the top-of-line items are they are usually 10 mil. A good chunk of those items come from things like HNMs, Dynamis, and the more rare Drops. Selling items for 10 mil only means they have to sell 25 items to achieve that high amount of money and I'm sure it isn't THAT hard to get 25 items to sell with a good and very active LS.
