Right now one of the most lucrative faucets is Kite Shield.
    Assuming you gather everything yourself. 47 shards and 15 ores at 20 seconds per node will require 310 seconds. There are 10 item to be synthesized, at an average of 6 sec each for quick synth for NQ item, that's 60 seconds. A total of 370 seconds is needed for a Kite Shield. This comes out to be about 5381 gil per hour. That's a lot of work for very little return.

    I know. Don't you love how shards are 3:1 and take 75% of your game time to gather. It's almost like Alchemist was supposed to make them or something...

    Yeah ... but they nerfed alchemist by removing shard recipes, thereby making the class completely worthless :P
