Make crafting more complex.

Best Served Toad does. 5 Toad Leathers, right in Gridania. Level 30 or so. You'll want to do that one for a bit until you replace it with Supply Side Logic, the same setup with Boar Leathers. The Peiste Leather one is in Whitebrim and the Raptor one is in Mor Dhona -- I couldn't do them because I didn't have either unlocked (and still can't unlock Mor Dhona, lol).

So you want every common item to have a value from 1-100 for quality? how would you store it all in your inventory or deal with the total item population? we have a rough estimate of 2,900 common items (not counting HQ items and granted some of the 2,900 will not or can't be HQ items). If they still stacked normal it would add extra steps to set which quality item out of a stack you want to use for synth with? Market boards we would need to extra sort features so you can try to easily find the quality rating you want to buy then deal with the quantity available. Is this what you intended to create complexity? Interesting but not sure how feasible this would be in the end.

I've been avoiding the 5 leather turn-ins. It's significantly harder for me to HQ a 40 dura raw item than it is to HQ a 70 dura finished item. I can get up to 90% of the finished items to HQ, while HQ on a raw is somewhere between 20-30%. I've tried everything I could to raise that, but unless the raw is ~10 levels lower than me, it's just not happening.

While leveling, you get skins back from leves, meaning an hour's worth of farming stock lasts pretty much until the next leve. Go back and farm or buy more of the stuff below your level and you can sell HQs on the market for massive profit. While things like ingots are being sold at a huge loss (circa 75%), LTW and WVR are making bank on every craft these days. Massive inflation due to lack of gil sinks and limits on endgame dungeon runs are keeping prices high. Use that.

//EDIT: Derp, legacy server. That'll do it to ya.

I can make thousands if not hundred of thousands with my lvl 40 LTW. It's all in the right items. Those items, on my server, being gathering items that require multi materials. No one wants to make them, but they sell very well. 6-10k for belts, more for boots and the like. If anything, CRP is my least profitable DoH. Even with everyone going ez mode Bards, bows sell for literally nothing in the 1-40 level range >.<

Sorry OP but I am a level 24 Miner/24 GSM and I have made quite a profit. IDK what you are doing, but w/e it is, it is wrong. Make a note of what is needed for other DOL/DOH classes.. those always sell well.

You think you have it bad, as an alchemist most of my recipes simply are not used by anyone. The grenade potions are seldom to never used, mana potions? when did you last see the healer use a X-Ether instead of yelling at the BRD to ballad. Castrum drops X-potions like candy and its farmed constantly which drastically lowers their value. The only thing of value for an alchemist really are the one star weapons for SCH and SMN Relics (the whm one is also ach but uses all lvl 50 or lower mats that are gathered by btn, making it nearly worthless to craft). One does not level alchemy to make a large profit, one levels it for the cool lab coat and Borg like headgear.
