    I'm making money crafting 3 DoH at the same time. 1 of which is considered a huge moneysink and not profitable (LTW), 1 considered to be barely profitable and erring on a net loss (CRP), and only 1 that is considered fairly profitable (WVR). So far I've made 200k gil off crafting at the low levels, and I hear it'll increase the higher I get.

    I only farm logs, which makes CRP a lot easier. It's probably the easiest one to level out of the three, and I usually have a bunch of stacks left over to sell on the MP. I farm while watching stuff on Netflix and I usually have about 5 stacks of logs by the end of an hour-long episode.

    I have a ton of cotton from leveling BTN, so I'm using them to level WVR from 20-35. I made a profit selling Diremite Webs and Undyed Velveteen.

    LTW was (and still is) difficult to level without making a loss.

    I buy skins/hide/leather, along with the various metals needed to make belts and such, but I supply cloth with my WVR. I also only buy after I peruse the MP and make sure my leve rewards offset the cost. For example, a stack of 99 Aldgoat Leather is about 16k. A stack of Silver Ingots is about 14k. A stack of Beast Sinew is about 3k. So 33k total cost. One full leve turn-in, which uses up 9 each of the materials, rewards 3.3k, and I can repeat the leve 11 times with all the mats I have for a total reward of 36k.

    I'm still a net loss due to the crystals used, but it's manageable for the amount of exp gained. I'm also making more money crafting than I was before I had them leveled.
