Making Gil..

Does the Market Board automatically default your price to the next lowest price?
If anyone played Vinditius knows what I mean. I don't wanna look around and compare prices.
I heard Crystal Shards give a good gill.

Market boards are supposed to be linked between starter cities.
Prices default to around what vendors would buy the items for. you gotta manually increase them.
You can't sell anything till around lvl 19 in your story quest..when you get access to hire a retainer.

really? I figured trout or cod would be better sellers. Used in cooking, and creates good buff food.

I'll have to look up prices when i get home :)

Well you guys seem to have a handle on it just want to throw out there is an achievement for making gil through leves alone so doing them helps that too for those that care about that.

I've been making a really good profit making low level gear (Lv20-25 -- stuff you can't buy at the starter cities). Bought stacks of 99 for 3 different requisite mats for about 15-25k each. Made a bunch of various armor sets and sold them for 3000g each (5000g for HQ). I've sold over 50 items so far, so I've made well over twice the amount I started with and still have plenty of mats to spare, and that's just from about an hour of play during the weekend. I spent most of my time dungeon crawling, so an hour of crafting for about 80k gil is really good IMO, especially considering I don't play at all during weekdays.

Question about fishing: I thought fishing was only for trophies? I thought they said it wouldn't affect the market, which is why I haven't taken it up. So you can sell fish and use it in cooking?

Yes fishing and cooking go hand in hand.
As a matter of fact, the Princess Trout quest needed for a dish on CUL quest, you can fish for that and there you go.
It's pretty fun how it works that way.
I believe mining or botany is the all around since they get Crystal you need to cook and do alchemy I think.
A lot of the crafts link together.

Alchemy uses some fish to make fish glue and fish oil. Culinary obviously uses various fish for food. Goldsmithing can also use coral acquired through fishing for some jewelery. Fishing thankfully isn't useless, but there are a lot of fish that don't have a real purpose.

Good to know! I love fishing and generally being lazy while waiting for dungeon finder queue, but I tend to do things that only progress my character, so I've been putting it off.
