Why does a player need ffxiv gil

The grind for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] does not stop at level 80. gil is needed to sustain your character. From purchased flying mounts to food,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], gil is needed to excel at the game.
As a player slowly gets to level 80, the currency of choice is not gil but other tokens. Tokens such as champion's seals, emblem of heroism, emblem of valor, battleground tokens, honor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and arena points replace gil as the most desired currency in the game to get new gear and otherwise get ahead.
It is very rare to find gear in the auction house for gil that is viable for anything other than being disenchanted for mats. But to ignore the need for ffxiv gil is folly for ffxiv players.
Epic Flying Mounts
If a player is missing mounts from earlier levels due to lack of cash, they need to be purchased as soon as possible at level 80. The epic flying mount at level 70 costs 5200 gil. The cold weather flying skill costs 1000 gil to purchase.
For somebody who never spent time at level 70 during the Burning Crusade expansion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], making enough gil to get the flying mounts while levelling can be daunting. Not having these mounts will seriously crimp a player's ability to travel and make cash in Northrend.
ffxiv Food and Mats
Buffs can be gained from food in almost every place in ffxiv. But unless the player wants to spend a lot of time gathering meat and levelling cooking, it is best to buy food from the auction house instead. For those who are raiding, most guilds require the player to carry sufficient amounts of food with buffs so that it can last for 3-4 hours and a few wipes.
