Anyone else feel 40+ is pretty hopeless after the last update? I've gone through the recipe list (old and new) at least 3 times and still can't figure out what to grind on without tossing away millions of gil.
The average synth on my server cost me about 20k each if I buy the mats or about 15k if I craft the cloth from scratch. Rough estimates of course.
Selling the end product to NPCs will net a return of about 2-2,5k / synth so that's really not an option. And trying to sell like 500x cotton/fent gear pieces would take months at the rate stuff is selling at wards atm. (not to mention crash the entire weaver market when 50 other players do the same thing)
So.. am I missing something? or are we really just supposed to pick between tossing out millions of gil on grinding or slowly rank up with only weaver leves?
