Making profits as a Culinaria

[Sapphidia]

There's a sort of weird self-perpetuating circle in crafting in FFXIV. You become a culinarian in order to make food, which in most situations would be used as buffs in dungeons. However, here, you make most of your money by... making food to sell to other culinarians who want to get to 50 quickly.... getting to 50 so they can make large amounts of money selling food to... other culinarians.

Culinarian is basically a big Pyramid Scheme right now, though that's partially because the 2-star foods are pretty worthless (I don't believe any of the 2star foods are worth eating because of the low% buff meaning you can't hit their max with current gear). Maybe in a few patches when everyone is in much higher gear level, Culinarians can make a fortune by crafting HQ 2star food for the heavy raiders.

Till then... sell to other culinarians >.<

Or other crafters and gatherers. Make the CP and GP food HQ. I myself am always buying HQ food for 1 and 2 star items.
