Well, the third way is to have someone recruit you as a friend so that you get silver chocobo feathers. It requires you to take 5 Silver Chocobo Feathers to the Calamity Salvager NPC.
Can you explain what and how much gil you can or can't make? The non-HQ 115 stuff in Ishgard/others are vendor items which can hold you until you get into dungeons and such.
Edit: You should note that just getting the encrypted tomestone only gets you an i110 weapon. The i115 augmentation requires carbontwine but that is easier to get.
Edit2: Someone can only be recruited if they haven't put paid time in though
