Which Craft is the best to start with?

[Jamirus]

Hello! I'm pretty new to FFXI. I used to play back in 2008, and I had got cooking pretty high up there, but I really don't wanna do that craft again.

I'm looking for a nice gil maker! I was considering woodcrafting, and making shiehei (sp) for money, since a full stack of toolbags is going for 70k on my server...

Is this a good idea, or are there other crafts that would make more money, faster?

Theirs not a whole lot of gill makers left though regular crafting unfortionitly. If you want WW, youll need to get to lvl 80 for best hq results on them.

these days, if you want to make money crafting, it seems like your options are cooking or synergy....maybe alchemy and ww a little

Don't forget fishing, its all profit from 1-100. On my server a level 1 fisher can make $100k/day on moat carps right now ($6k/stack of moats @ 200 daily fish cap)

Cooking is always easy, but there's little proffit unless you have fishing skilled.

Not true...I can make 100k+ a stack without fishing with the new skillup foods and the dawn mulsums and whatnot

Turn over is too slow and the fact they can't stack greatly lowers how much money you're making.
I'm talking high turn over items, like sole and squid.

the skillup foods stack and the dawn mulsum turnover rate is really quick...I fill up the AH several times a day when I am in crafting mode....I've actually found sole and squid to be more of a money loss for me so I don't really make 'em
