This. I went from ilvl 63 to ilvl 77 in like 6-7 runs through CT.
I was terrible with Gil until around level 25 or so. From there to 50 I made around 700,000. And I haven't even started crafting hardcore yet.

Gotta spend money to make money, and that's relevant in FFXIV crafting too. I spend a fortune on mats at the moment. Started working on the gathering so i can make everything without losing all my hard earned gil lol.
I have got 25 millions and i dk what i will do with that money.
See I tried that, I made all i55 weapons and trinkets, using as cheap of mats as possible, crafting up from base materials where it was too expensive to buy them outright. After materia for spiritbonding and mats I found myself spending a couple hours getting all the materials and crafting it all. It all cost me 40,946 gil, and after converting it all down and selling it I came out with 62,754 gil or a 21,808 gil profit.
For all the time spent into crafting, melding, and spiritbonding it really doesn't seem as profitable as people make it out to be "Just walk around and make 30k" or even worse "a few hours to get millions".
its not that hard to make gil, SB one ilvl 70 item a day and you can make a mil a week.
stop
being
lazy
lol if you are still spending mythos on gear you are doing it wrong
