Crafter's & Gatherer's Inventory

I absolutely understand the point and storing only the items you currently need for you level but I like to keep lower level mats on hand to create items for level level jobs seeking on the marketboard as well as FC members who need stuff lower than my crafting level.

I almost have 8/8 crafts at 50 and honestly, I don't have this inventory problem people are having. Both my retainers are only filled with a page and a half out of 7 pages each. If I ever need to get some mats to craft lower level stuffs for FCs, I'll just jump on my gatherer, did some gathering enough for the mats, make it and be done with it instead of having them in my inventory in the off-chance that someone might need it.

I think I took it as you saying that you end up holding shards rather than crafting them because they get used up. Anyway, the way it works is men t to fuel the crafting market. It can often be more advantageous to sell off raw mats rather than crafting them into another mat to craft an item with. Sell the raw mats and buy the actual mats you need . Not always but often you will find you make more gil.

I only just ended my second month of playing,I played around in 3 beta phases but honestly did not intend to play this until 4 irl friends started it.

I only have 2 crafts at 50 and 2 DoL over 40,2 DoM 50. However, I made profit at pretty much every step. I always ended a crafting cycle with more gil than I invested. I have never found shards to be an issue. Then again I do not insist on gathering everything and stocking it because I can. My prioritty was only that I make profit and move forward doing so. Even still I did not,and do not now gather every single shard and mat I use. If im going to burn up a ton of shards and flax to make linen thread, often its better to just sell those mats and buy some thread. HQ threads even sometimes. Just have to be willing to shop when its in that context. At max lvl, you know what you deal with so weather or not to stock is more personal .
