is CUL most profitable DoH?

Considering player has both miner and botanist to 50 and can gather all ingredients on his own.

I can do anywhere between 100 - 150k / day, on reset day even 300k selling stacks or 3,4,5,6 food (with a quantity discount) - they sell very fast this way, there's more demand that I can actually craft.

What are other DoH strategies?

I guess it depends how you value your time. CUL recipes use a lot of mats, so it's very time consuming to gather and make a stack of any food, or even a half stack.

I do it like more to unspoiled node > gather it, craft some food then 12 minutes later move to another node I need etc... I don't waste time. Same with clusters, I just craft in Saint Coirnach and change to DoL to get clusters. Also with cordials wchich I have about 60 from trasure hunting + seals I can get stack of any normal node in 6 minutes, it's not that bad imo, and a lot of ingredients are like 30gil / piece on market / lot of them are sold by beast tribes for very low prides so I don't need to gather them Also both retainers get me 20 apkalu eggs / hour of 20 night milk / 40 minutes (both are ilvl 70+).

I guess if you can get your own clusters, CUL can be profitable. But if you depend on marketboard to get your clusters, it's not worth that much as most of your costs go to clusters.

I think from a stand alone point of view CUL can be alright for money. But in my world is having full multi class, and crafting lvl 90 gear and expensive house hold items will net you the most cash. On a normal day 1-3 million, my record $7 million in 24 hours. I just retired yesterday from crafting as I don't need any more money, and I'm now sitting here in my Mansion with my feet up, snoozing by my fire :cool:

hmmm, I'l try that Kakarot, I'll research what's my server situation is on these. And Yes, I don't think that CUL can be profitable if you buy something off market for it (mainly clusters which are 700 here, other unspoiled ingredients, night milk and apkallu egs are about 300 gil each :/ )

That sounds good Fango, even though I have all my Bot,mining at top level I never had the time to collect anything , so I just bought all the basic resources off the market.

Basically you either have to be maxed out gear and do high level synths that sell slowly, or grind out stacks of things that sell quickly. Everything else is just a battle of 1gil undercuts.

3-star gear can/will bring you in a lot more.

I'm more surprised that people are actually buying i90 crafted gear on your server. The market seems pretty stale on Ragnarok. Sure they sell for a high price, but there's so few people actually buying.

And why bother? It's weaker than myth i90 gear and superseded by i100 gear. I don't think SE takes crafting as seriously as we do.

Yeah I don't get the sense that i90 gear is selling that fast tbh, plus it's price has dropped quite a bit, can't see myself bothering too much with it in terms of profit. Don't see a lot of ppl buying it on Cerberus..

Well yeah - you won't get as much money as possible if you buy materials from the market. You have to substract the money spent on those items from the money you earn with the sold items - which just lowers your earning by a lot depending on the material (nq or hq, rarity).
I don't wanna call it out as a must, BUT selling materials should be also worth a lot of money - there are many ppl out there not interested into farming or they just dont have the time to do so, so they buy it from the market (or ask the fc).
Most ppl dont even bother looking for the individual prices for the materials and calculate a price for the crafted goods and sell those things flat out under the lowest price on the market, just to earn some good and quick money - there might go some money down the drain.

Depending on server prices low end ltw and gsm is more lucrative through sb right now. Can make to 320k an hour off the good selling materias. Further you can meld those to higher ilvl sb fodder and drop the time it takes to sb t4 materia gear to about 20 minutes on the field, even faster in dungeons.

Put materia in all 5 slots and it will always beat out i90 myth gear. The only way you will find crafted i90 being worse is if it happens to be non-melded NQ. Even some i90 crafted is better than i100 soldiery thanks to being able meld for optimized secondary stats in a slot where it wouldn't be possible otherwise.

I wouldn't say cul is the most profitable at all.

I make way more gil selling hq 2* gear than I would spending the same time making stuff with cul.

if I was to bother spending the time I think I could make even more with hq 3*, but that's to much time investment for my liking. so I only craft 3* gear I'm personally using.

that being said if your making 150k a day with little effort then your making more gil than you need any given day in ff14.
