 # 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.

+# Honourable Mentions
+These are small things that you can do to make some gil. They're short and simple so they don't really need a whole section devoted to them.
+
+## Retainer Ventures
+- Send your retainers out on `Quick Exploration` ventures
+- Sometimes they'll come back with valuable items such as rare dyes that can be sold on the marketboard
+- Gear they bring back can be converted into Grand Company Seals
+
+## Island Sanctuary
+- Max out your Island Sanctuary rank
+- Always have work scheduled in your workshops and granaries
+- Once you max out, let the mammets manage the farm and animal, its quite cheap and saves you a ton of time
+- Exchange your "Seafarer's Cowries" for rare dyes (highlighted in Green on the vendor menu)
+
+For example the `Gunmetal Black Dye` is worth a pretty penny
+<FFXIVItemPrice client:load itemId={30122} itemName="Gunmetal Black Dye " itemImageUrl="https://www.garlandtools.org/files/icons/item/22816.png" />
