 Keep in mind though that crafters are probably one of the most consistent methods of getting gil. There will be a lot more "instability" with these methods.

+# Grand Company Seals
+You can rack up Grand Company seals (or GC Seals) fairly quickly by completing "Expert Deliveries". This is where you can
+cash in on useless old gear or dungeon drops. You can usually get around `2000` seals per piece of "high level dungeon" gear.
+
+Then you can spend these seals on certain items that are needed for crafting. In my opinion, most of these items net fairly low gil
+but some commonly exchanged items are...
+- Glamour Prisms
+- Coke
+- Potash
+- Cordials
+
+
+|As an example of how much these materials go for... | It's consistent but slow... |

+| <FFXIVItemPrice client:load itemId={5530} itemName="Coke" /> | <FFXIVItemPrice client:load itemId={5501} itemName="Potash" itemImageUrl="https://xivapi.com/i/027000/027612_hr1.png" /> |
+
+You can also try your luck by exchaning `20 000` seals for either a 3.0 or 4.0 `Materiel Coffer`. These drop random minions and
+mounts from that particular expansion.
+
+Don't get your hopes up so quick though. A very vast majority of the minions are basically worthless on the marketboard.
+The actual rare mounts and minions have some serious Japanese gacha game drop rates...
+
+Let's take the Night Pegasus Whistle as an example:
+<FFXIVItemPrice client:load itemId={16564} itemName="Night Pegasus Whistle" itemImageUrl="https://xivapi.com/i/026000/026039_hr1.png"/>
+> Based on the drop rate collected by the FFXIV Dalamud Plugin `Tracky`. 
+> ### [This item has a drop rate of roughly 0.03%](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VfncSL5gf9E7ehgND5nZgguUyUAmZiAMbQllLKcoxTQ/edit?gid=1530436115#gid=1530436115)
+
+The same story is true for all of the other rare mounts/minions. If you were to test your luck though I'd go for the 4.0 coffers since it beats
+the 3.0 coffers in number of rare items which will give you a slight statistical edge.
+
+- Overall: Very slow but a good way to get rid of old gear. Don't bother specifically farming dungeons specifically for gear to turn in since the gil comes very slow
