It definitely helps to know friends who craft. This means that instead of buying NPC gear or purchasing gear off the Marketboards, you can have them craft for you.
Typically they just want the materials which you should be able to gather, mine or kill things for~
Check what items you can equip through the Marketboard.
Then go to craftingasaservice.com to see what materials you need for everything.
Tell friendly crafter I need xyz.
Gear!
Save gil.

Spiritbonding at Urth's gift with 45+ stuff works. So does the second to last dungeon (from what some say) in Castrum Meridium. If you SB in a dungeon though, I highly suggest you make a preformed party. I made a lot of gil using ventures, spiritbonding and run sales early enough when I was still working on the FC I helped rank up. I donated a lot of gil into buying the house that it got as well as into the bank afterwards... I never thought to ask for the gil that was my portion into it as it was a donation to the FC.
I started to do a lot more gil earning wise after I felt that need to leave that FC I helped find. I donated just as much, more even, to the FC that I joined that had to be recently rebuilt because the FC leader was an immature asshole. Millions of gil I'm talking about has been donated to two FCs and I'm only hurting a little in gil now because I'm gearing a retainer for FSH >.> but not much cause I still have a few million to my name. It's been slow merc'ing. /grumbles at the lowball sales because certain FC mercs are selling FCOB now.
If you've reached the point where you can craft level 40-50 stuff. Attach useless materia to the gear you are crafting with. Spiritbond while crafting, aka the quick synthesis. That will spiritbond the gear that you can convert into the higher tier material. It's slower than killing things, I think.
