How to Farm Gil in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (FF7R)
Equip the Gil Up Materia
The Gil Up Materia allows the player to obtain double the Gil from every battle. It can be found by scoring 30,000 points in the SOLDIER Training difficulty of the Shinra Box Buster minigame.
Post-Game: Repeat the Shinra Combat Simulator on Easy
After completing the main game, players will unlock the Shinra Combat Simulator in INTERmission, opening up a new opportunity to farm Gil.
The first of the three challenges in the Shinra Combat Simulator, Yuffie & Sonon vs. Shinra’s Dark Secrets, can be completed repeatedly on Easy mode to farm Gil quickly. The prize of this challenge is a Grab Bag, which often contains 2,000 Gil – however, you may receive some consumable items instead if you are unlucky. This challenge can take less than 1 minute to complete, and is also the best method to farm EXP and AP, so it’s possible to do these simultaneously as well.
Post-Game: Repeat the start of Chapter 1 on Hard Mode
All enemies give significantly higher Gil drops on Hard Mode. Even if you haven’t grinded to level 50 yet, it’s easy enough to simply take out the first three groups of enemies in Chapter 1, ending with the Lesser Drake, then restart the chapter. The Lesser Drake gives a total of 2,052 Gil on Hard Mode with Gil Up, for a total of 5,384 Gil just for taking out seven total enemies. We were able to take out these enemy groups in about 2 minutes, so running this route about five times should give you all the gil you will need for the rest of the game in about ten minutes.
What to Spend Gil On
The Vending Machines available throughout Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 stock a variety of Materia which cannot be found elsewhere, such as the Revival Materia. It’s a good idea to go ahead and buy one of each Materia and focus on gathering AP on as many as possible.
