The Gold Saucer isn’t exclusive to only Cloud Strife’s universe, asFinal Fantasy XIVhosts its very own gaudy gambling joint within Thanalan. The in-universe casino is home to plenty of painstaking MMO grinds and some of them gate beloved mounts, minions, and titles. The Gold Saucer’s currency, MGP, stands between you and those prizes.
Ultimately, it doesn’t have to be the most miserable, grindy experience, and you can make the best use of your time with a few of my favoriteFFXIVMGP farming tips. My guiding advice here: prioritize any MGP event, seek every MGP Platinum Card you can, and do Challenge Log weeklies. Additionally, prioritize limited-time rewards like those from theFF16crossover event, or theFF15Regalia.
What is the best way to earn MGP inFFXIV?
To earn MGP inFFXIV, you’ve got quite a few options that all depend on how hard you want to farm The Gold Saucer activities. I’ve got a couple of recommendations, so I’ll break them down by priority and own rush to hoard those fancy rewards.
For an easy, leisurely MGP farm…
It’s a pretty chill, easy daily grind to use all three Daily Mini Cactpot tries, and if you hit it big, that’s 10,000 MGP. Additionally,complete weekly Challenge Log tasks, including:complete three mini-games, earn 100 MGP from mini-games, participate in five gates, successfully complete three gates, and win 10 Triple Triad matches. That’s 26,000 MGP, plus more from any extra goals you hit.
For a faster, grindier way to earn even more MGP…
To really start farming for MGP inFFXIV, I’d suggest completing more Challenge Log weeklies like Chocobo Racing and Lord of Verminion tasks. Then move on to Wondrous Tails, if you can manage just one line then that’s an MGP Gold Card worth 30,000 MGP, while more lines yield an MGP Platinum Card for 50,000 each.
For MGP grinding outside of event windows, you’re able to hang out in the Gold Saucer catching gates, playing Triple Triad, and turn any extra cards in at the counter exchange NPC. With so many seasonal events in the rotation, I rarely resort to this and just stock up on MGP Platinum cards through Moogle Tomestones.
MGP Buffs and seasonal events
Look, every little bit counts, so you’ll never catch me in the Gold Saucer withoutFinal Fantasy XIV‘sJackpot buff. While participating in activities like Triple Triad, minigames, GATEs, Cactpot, and even the Fashion Report, Jackpot gives you an MGP bonus ranging anywhere from an extra five to 15 percent depending on the Free Company Action Rank.
There’s alsoGold Saucer VIP Cardsif your Free Company isn’t using the 24-hour Jackpot action. It doesn’t stack with Jackpot bonuses, but it’s a +15% MGP buff on the same activities for two hours. I constantly send my Squadron out to retrieve these, saving a stash of the MGP boosting cards forFFXIVpatches with new Gold Saucer rewards.
Watch forFFXIV’sGold Saucer events
Make it Rain mostly speaks for itself, but if you’ve got the time, I strongly suggest farming the Moogle Treasure Trove so you may exchange the event currency for MGP vouchers. In almost every scenario,theFFXIVMoogle Tomestone event is the best way to earn MGP. If you hit it hard, you won’t need to farm MGP for a long time, probably not until the next event rolls around. Refer to our handyFFXIVseasonal event calendarif you’re trying to plan.
What is an MGP Platinum Card in FFXIV?
In FFXIV, you can redeem one MGP Platinum Card for 50,000 MGP. There’s no limit on how many of these vouchers you redeem, and there’s also no limit on how many the event Moogle will let you buy when they’re a reward. I’ve used those windows to farm millions of MGP, using it as an opportunity to quickly score some prizes I eyed for ages, especially since I don’t reliably complete my weekly challenges.
To redeem an MGP voucher, simply right click the item and your Warrior of Light will receive their currency after a short cast. There’s no special vendor to exchange the voucher with.
What is the easiest Gold Saucer minigame?
Cuff-a-Curonly costs one MGP per play, and I typically get ~15 to 25 MGP every round, but it’s painfully boring. However, Cuff-a-Cur is probably both the easiest and fastest minigame to play for MGP in the Gold Saucer. All you’ve got to do is click once per round and it’s over, aiming to land the player’s bar right over the middle sweet spot.
Alternatively, you can always go for my favorites, The Finer MinerandOut on a Limb. They usually take me a bit longer than a round of Cuff-a-Cur, but the upside is you’ll earn more MGP per round. There’s alsoThe Moogle’s Paw, which is just as irritating as any other real-life claw machine, andMonster Toss, a basketball-style timed minigame.
What should you spend MGP on?
If theFFXVandFFXIVevent, A Nocturne for Heroes, is in progress, you shouldspend your MGP ongetting the Regalia Type-Gmount. That’s an easy, no-questions-asked answer since collab isn’t a regularly scheduled seasonal event.
There’s alsoFF16crossover options whileFFXIVhosts its The Path Infernal event, like the Clive Triple Triad Card for 200,000 MGP. There’s also plenty of Orchestrion Rolls to collect for 20,000 MGP each, including major Soken bangers like Away (Refrain), Find the Flame, and more.
However, if there’s no activeFFXVevent, or if you’ve already got the Regalia, there area lotof other goodies to spend MGP on inFFXIV. And while I can’t dictate exactly what you absolutely must use those points on, I can at least insist you save up for those fancier, exclusive mounts unavailable on the Market Board, likeNieR Automata’sPod 602 or the Blackjack, a four-seater airship.
Can you buy MGP inFFXIVwith Gil?
No, you can’t buy using MGP with Gil, sorry. While there are in-game vouchers that reward large sums of the Gold Saucer currency, there is no way to turn your Market Board earnings into actual points to spend inFFXIV‘s minigame headquarters.
