Not really all that true, im levelling to 50 with two of my friends, they have done almost zero crafting, and certainly havent made any money off of it, and they both have around 250k gil. Just from questing their main class to 48 and turning in allagan pieces. With very little in this game for non-crafters to bother buying, 100k for a relic precursor wep would not be that unreasonable in those early days. Now? Sure.. the market is saturated, but demand far exceeded supply in the first week.
