What gil shortage? I made 20k Gil yesterday. (not including my 13 tun ins for average of 600 gil per turn in since I spent all I made on upgrading my crafting gear)

I do not have a level 50 character so I can't say for sure what will happen then but I imagine I will make my money the same way I am now. Gathering, selling a few things on the market here and there, dungeons, fates, guildhests, levequests, dumping stuff that doesn't sell on the market to the venders, etc.

cif you havnt allready noticed Lvl 50 Class specific Crafting gear doesnt get rewarded at 90% of the quests in the game

the prices people are charging for Class specific crafting gear is more than you make a day

For the record, these don't really leave you breaking even (currently), possibly with the exception of guildhests. If you have a pretty solid set of 40-45ish whites/greens, I could actually see guildhests being productive, however the (current) cost of repairing your AF set and beyond gear is pretty out of proportion. Guess we'll see how much they dropped repairs after maintainence :)

I've noticed the exact opposite, especially when I was farming diremites. When I was on par with the mobs, I got terrible drops. When I was a couple of levels higher than them I had about four times as good a result. My level 30 Thaum sits in La Nosc dotting level 8 wind sprites and gets a drop every second or third kill. More time spent running from mob to mob than killing them. I stopped harvesting crystals once I realised this, and now just kill every sprite I run past.

not if your LVL 50

In 1.0 you got shards from drops, i sit at about 8k of each shard of each size lol. Would be nice if they brought that back.

well except clusters >_> i only have like 2 of those

Fight elementals.

I wonder...
Why dont Square Enix add some Krystal-Fields where you can mining those Shards?
I mean: They already done so in Quests, why isnt it possible to add it on DoL too?
Is it really hard to smash on a Krystal with your pick and get some Shards?
When you look around, you see Krystals everywhere... you just cant take them!

Stopped reading a lot of these replies after it was getting ridiculous, I can mine a 1000 shards in 45 minutes, at level 1, did it already when shards shot up to 60 each on ah. If it takes you 2 hours with the double shard ability at 48.. you are doing something majorly wrong..
