Profitable Synths

Well for alchemy you're pretty much banking on Hexed Gear-1, considering ethereal squama is like 1m each you've just gotta get it right really, even if you farm the squama it's still at a 1m cost to you (opportunity cost, look it up!). It all depends on what stuff is still useful nowadays, Alchemists can still make gil off hexed coif -1 and hexed gages -1 definitely.

Yes, because I love the idea of sinking millions of gil into an item that probably won't sell. Would make so much more money taking my opportunity cost somewhere more reliable like salvage or dynamis. Even if I was willing to take the risk the materials are never on auction house anyway, and certainly not in the numbers that would let me spam the synth in hopes of getting a high quality.

Got a random tell tonight while in Dynamis of someone asking me to synth Hexed Gages -1, some hexed stuff still sells. As for lack of materials, sure that's true but at the same time Verthandi is 75 content, no reason you can't solo farm squama if you real want to. Consumables on alchemy are hardly a way to make money, remedies you might make a bit of gil but the rest sell extremely cheap, sure if you keep listing meds each day it'll add up but that sounds very grating.

My concern was more with belladonna sap, I know it's not the most expensive, but there is never any on the auction house when I look. May be different on yours, but I would have to somehow get it from Morta. That's not something I could farm solo. As for meds, since skirmish drops philosopher stones like crazy, the price of Panacea has gone down enough to where people actually buy it, but not so low that you can't make a decent profit off it.
