The Ultimate Guide to Gil Farming in Crisis Core Reunion

As an avid Crisis Core player, amassing a fortune of Gil is crucial to purchase the best equipment, items, and materia to defeat powerful bosses. However, farming endless amounts of Gil can become tedious.

That‘s why I‘ve created the ultimate Gil farming guide for Crisis Core Reunion to help you effortlessly build your wealth. With the right strategies, you‘ll be rich in no time!

Understanding the Basics of Gil Farming

Before jumping into specific farming methods, let‘s go over some essential concepts around collecting Gil efficiently:

Why Gil Farming Matters

• Buy Rare Gear: Gil allows you to purchase powerful accessories like the Genji Armlet or Rare Materia from shops.

• Master Materia: Fusing tons of materia to master them requires lots of Gil. Farming ensures you can afford the process.

• Stock Up Items: Hoard hi-potions, phoenix downs, and other crucial items for difficult battles. These can get expensive.

• Missions: Completing missions, especially toward the end, requires strong gear and items to counter imposing enemies.

What to Farm and Where

Enemies and locations ideal for farming Gil have some common traits:

• Easy to Access: Areas you can teleport or run to quickly work best. Fighting through strings of enemies wastes time.

• Fast Respawns: Excellent farms have enemies rapidly regenerating so you can defeat them quicker.

• Rare Steals: Target enemies that consistently drop high-value items, materia, or gear to sell.

• Low HP Enemies: Quickly eliminating low HP foes with area attacks yields more Gil per hour.

With this foundation established, let‘s explore efficient farming spots for piling up mountains of Gil!

Holy Tonberry Gil Farming

Farming the Holy Tonberry superboss towards Crisis Core‘s endgame provides incredible Gil gains through stealing and selling its rare drops.

Details

• Location: Banora Underground, Mission 9-6-2

• Level: 40+ (Equip HP and defense boosting gear/materia)

• Rare Items:

  • Gold Rolling Pin (50,000 Gil each)
  • Platinum Fist/Pin (500,000 Gil each)

• Gil Per Hour: 1.5 million+

Strategy

Farming the Holy Tonberry requires some setup but executes quickly in a repetitive cycle:

1. Equip: Mug, Dualcast, Electrocute Materia, Genji Glove, and Mog Amulet.

2. Reach Boss: Dash along the right wall to avoid enemy fights.

3. Steal & Defeat: Electrocute Tonberry while mugging 4 Gold Rolling Pins.

4. Escape and Repeat: Reset mission and repeat.

With practice, consistently extracting 4+ Gold Rolling Pins takes little over a minute, netting you 200,000+ Gil each cycle. That‘s over 1.5 million Gil per hour!

Additionally, the Mog Amulet gives you a chance to encounter a Magic Pot. Stealing from this can reward a whopping 5 extra Gold Rolling Pins for 450,000 Gil!

While intense, Holy Tonberry farming will quickly fill your coffers with Gil.

Mission 8-6-4 Monster Cloak Farm

Another efficient crisis core farming method for Gil takes advantage of the constant spawns of weak Garnet Mole and Scissor Chitin enemies in Mission 8-6-4.

By eliminating them rapidly, you can amass tons of extra Crystal Gloves to sell in bulk.

Details

• Location: Mission 8-6-4 (“SOS?”)

• Enemies: Garnet Moles, Scissor Chitins

• Rare Drops:

  • Crystal Glove (7,500 Gil each)

• Gil Per Hour: 150,000+

Strategy

Similar to Holy Tonberry farming, optimizing your gear and using area attacks makes eliminating these weak enemies simple for big Gil gains:

1. Equip: Quake, Blast Wave, and MP Absorb Materia with a Wizard Bracelet.

2. Engage Groups: Run into the middle of Garnet Mole groups and cast Quake to defeat them rapidly.

3. Kill Respawns: Keep moving back and forth until more spawn. Quake/Blast Wave to quickly defeat them.

4. Collect Drops: Build up 20+ Crystal Gloves then sell them for 150,000+ Gil.

5. Teleport and Repeat: Use a Teleport Materia to reset the mission and repeat the process.

With Quake and other offensive magic equipped, you can massacre these weak creatures effortlessly for loads of quick Gil.

Summoning Ifrit for Gil Farming

Ifrit‘s Hellfire attack allows you to quickly sweep through groups of enemies for additional Gil and item farming.

Details

• Location: Any mission with enemy group spawns

• Materia Needed: Summon Materia (Ifrit)

• Rare Drops: Varies based on enemy

• Gil Per Hour: 100,000+

Strategy

Integrating Ifrit into other Gil farming methods lets you rapidly defeat enemies to increase efficiency:

1. Equip Ifrit Materia along with MP Absorb and other magic boosting materia.

2. Encounter Enemy Groups: Seek out missions spawning clumped enemies like Vlakorados groups.

3. Summon Ifrit: His Hellfire attack will defeat all surrounding enemies at once.

4. Collect Drops & Gil: Gather sellable items quickly since entire groups are defeated rapidly.

5. Repeat and Teleport: Continue summoning Ifrit as groups respawn.

Adding Ifrit‘s devastating area attack cuts down other farming times substantially, boosting your Gil gains!

Mastering All Materia

While not precisely a “farming method”, mastering all materia in the game requires TONS of Gil to fuse them efficiently.

So if generating Gil is your goal, mastering materia serves as the perfect Gil “sink” to validate all your hard farming efforts!

Master Materia Details

• Total Materia: 76 (including duplicates)

• Gil to Master All: 15+ million

• Benefits:

  • Unlock powerful master materia
  • Max out stats
  • Trophy/achievements

Strategy to Master Materia

Here are some tips to master materia without wasting tons of Gil through inefficient fusing:

• Equip to Build AP: Always keep materia equipped on weapons or armor to build AP during missions or farming.

• Fuse Similar Types: Match materia types when fusing for 20% more AP.

• Focus on One at a Time: Funnel gained AP into one materia until it hits master level before starting another.

• Buy Higher Level Duplicates: Purchase leveled-up materia duplicates (i.e. “Fire Materia +1”) instead of level 1s to save Gil fusing.

Stick to these fundamentals for an affordable materia mastery process!
