How do I make gil for crafts?

I really need to find a way to make good gil for crafts.
I don't need 500k per hour, I just need that 30k a day that craft takes.
I took Weaver to lv28 and now I need hundreds of diremite webs to make velveteen gear for triple leves, but on the marketboard they are 99 for 25500 gil.
I can't sell Titan wins because I don't have a group, and I can't sell crafting service for endgame gear because I don't have any craft classes at lv50.
How did you avoid this kind of problems for your lv50 crafts?

1. Sell popular items on the market

2. Gather the diremite web yourself (this is what I did)

3. Do cotton sash leves because so easy.

I skipped level 25 leves and leveled off combines/level 20 leves till 30. At 30 there is a courier style leve for linen pants, so you can skip turning in velveteen completely.

Also the cotton sash rewards diremite webs pretty regularly, so I had enough to craft HQ crafting velveteen from turning in the cotton sashes.

30k a day? Do 1-2 CM / AK / WP. And you're done.

lol - you mean 10-15 a day? The money from dungeons is a nice boost but it's hardly an efficient money maker (especially if you wait in a DPS queue for an hour and then repair your gear).

OP - as Ciana mentioned, lots of leves reward webs for cotton turn ins - so it is possible to get them that way.

Sell what you can make on the market board ... take up a gathering class and gather your materials, especially shards, and do triple leves that you have materials for (it all becomes pure profit if you gather everything) ... and check both the Ul'dah and Quarrymill leves periodically for Diremite Web rewards.

Really, the only reason to buy anything from the market boards is if it is too hard to gather the item yourself. If you need a bunch of Aldgoat Skins, and can't afford the time farming them, you probably don't want to be a Leatherworker anyway. On the other hand, if you need Cobalt stuff, and do not have an Armorer/Blacksmith anywhere near high enough to make them for you, then yes, buy them off the board. But gather everything you are able to get for yourself first. That will save you a TON of gil over time.

Get the items yourself instead of buying them. I know that's probably not what ya want to hear, but it's the only answer that makes any sense.

You might realize that there's more to monetize out of the current dungeons than just the gil rewards from the mobs themselves.

HQ leve turn in items and HQ level 30+ DoH/DoL quest items sell quite regularly and for a good profit.

I've had great success selling HQ food for the CUL quest line. With that alone I've made 1 mil over the past 2 weeks.

I was just going to say that too Buttens! I've been making HQ Walnut Macahuitilseh like crazy. Usually profit 2k apiece for them. Only slight thing about that is you can get undercut really fast (at least in my experience) so you have to babysit those auctions to make sure they sell. But when they do, they usually get all bought at once by the same person!

As you're leveling the Weaver class, you shoudl be watching the market board. The way I leveled is I would do both leve's for getting experience but then I would single-craft each piece of crafting armor and gathering armor to sell on market. I would make sure it was HQ even if I had to pay a little more upfront in mats. I can make roughly 100,000 a day just from making lower tierd DoH/DoF gear and selling it. The DoW/M gear is pretty terrible and doesn't sell for much but crafter gear. Theres your money until you can 2star.

Don't ask what I make/sell to get 100k a day cause I aint tellin!

Don't buy diremite.
If you cant farm it, keep grinding cotton.

You will get over 15K per turn in for the cotton and if you do that from 20 to 30 you will get diremite in the rewards and will be able to push a few velveteen turn in points to 35. At 35 you are set to work on Linen.

It will take a bit more work but using diremite webs to keep people over a barrel is only working because people let it.

I refuse to buy diremite webs, I refuse to buy snurble tufts and I refused to buy fleece. If they can get it, I can get it.

So, HQ low level crafting gear? I'll try.
I'm trying to gather on my own everything I can, but Diremite webs can't be gathered, you can just drop them from those 8 Banemites in North Shroud, which is reeeeeeaaaaaaally loong. Or you can get those 4 from the leve while using 12 of them to craft the Velveteen Sarouels you need to give to complete it.
I'm starting to HATE the word "Velveteen".
Now I hitted lv30 and I have 9000 gil more or less. I had to buy Flax for the Linen Yarn because I'm botanist lv6 and Flax is lv31 I think.
I can easily HQ any Cotton gear, do you think I can sell that?

You can sell anything if you price it correctly. Research your markets to see if there are any cotton goods that are in short supply. Concentrate the lowest 2 or 3 and make some HQ gear from those. Then look at the history of sales for the items you want to put up for sale and figure out a price based on that, along with what the other people are selling the item for currently.

imo the best craft to earn gil is cooking :)

There are a LOT of Banemites in North Shroud. They are on both sides of Fallgourd Float. Look around.

Everything needed for weaver leves is a joke to farm now, you can farm up to three stacks of whatever material you need in under an hour. Also, you can completely bypass diremite if you stick to cotton triple leve (lvl20) In quarrymill that requires cotton coifs of gathering, and sometimes you'll see diremites as the reward. People just need to stop being lazy and want everything handed to them.

The tough thing about North Shroud is that they are heavily farmed. Its near impossible holding a spot here for more than 30 minutes without another player coming along and following you to mark the mobs and steal your loot.

I just skipped all the velvet recipes and sold the velvet cloth. Depending on the price on your server, it might be an option to just purchase the dew thread and make the cloth. You can just get cotton yarn from the Alchemist Guild

On my server dew thread costs about the same as the web, excluding shards. That way, you save a step and save some shards. Shards aren't cheap, and can really add up at the higher recipes. When I was selling, cloth was going for two to three times the cost of dew thread. If your sever is anything like mind, you can probably make 30k on a stack of 10 or 15 cloth. Double profit in less than half the time (no farming or competing with other farmers).

Not sure how you have so little gil. You've completed the storyline right? As a WHM with Holy you can mass farm any of the droppable items for massive amounts of loot. Fleece is a good one, not too heavily farmed. There are a few sneaky spots that the sheep spawn. Gather them all up with Aero and Holy them down. Pick up mining and farm shards. People are lazy and don't want to do this. If you have the patience you can make easily 50k gil per hour farming shards.

On my server Lightning shards are most expensive at 70-100 gil per shard. At level 1 you should be able to farm maybe 200-300 per hour.
Watch the cotton prices of crafting gear. See if there are any pieces that are work month and then price out cost of shards and other mats to see if its profitable.

Go to Quarrymill and check out the level 20 leves there. One asks you to make Cotton Dress Gloves and one asks you to make Cotton Coifs of Gathering. Both of these leves can reward you with 10 diremite webs upon completion (occasionally they will reward crystals instead) and both can be completed with the cotton boils purchased from the guild vendor and the appropriate shards. The Cotton Coifs of Gathering leve can be completed 3 times over the span of one leve allowance, making it an extremely efficient way of accumulating Diremite Webs. These are not terrbile exp up until level 30 either, since you should be able to HQ everything fairly easily.

You can also take a break and level your Botanist a bit to 31 so you can start collecting Flax. It is not that time-intensive now after the 2.05 hotfix, and having access to unlimited, free Flax will essentially allow you to bypass both the Velveteen and Fleece stages of Weaver (with a few exceptions, such as the job quests that require you to make things out of Wool).

On Ragnarok shards are all around 25 gil each, earth ones are 40, so even Cordial+Byregot's Ward with the Miner Lightning shards aren't a good gil solution.
I'm now selling HQ Cotton Kurtas but they make 2500 each, so not too much.
I completed the main story but back then I was too lazy to walk so I spent nearly everything in teleports XD
I twice farmed Diremite webs and it's reeeally long and boring, you get 2 or 3 every 10 Banemites you kill.
I'm also a little poor in Lightning shards because lv30 Weaver recipes consume 4-6 each.
I have the best gear I can, I managed to make a lv27 HQ Coatee of Crafting as lv30 Weaver but now I bought the Twin Adder's Coatee and melded the HQ one as Materia in the shoes.
I can easily HQ Cotton recipes with normal materials so I can Quick Synthesize stacks of Cotton Yarn and Undyed Cotton Cloth, so I'm working on HQ Cotton gear to make gil.
Any other suggestion about gil?

If your goal is to reach around 30K a day, your best and fastest bet is to literally run 2 wanderers palace. Trade in the tomestones for some potash, animal fat, peacock ore or the like and then turn around and sell it. Boom, you've made yourself 30K and then some.
