Fairly New, Some Questions~

Crafting your own HQ gear COSTS gil, it does not generate gil. Also, the Materia is the only thing that makes crafted gear better than darklight, and getting good materia melds will also cost you a lot of gil. Darklight and CT gear is more than enough for starting the endgame.

uhh.. this thread talks about leveling and everything new
not endgame

Well you certainly aren't implying that they should craft themselves HQ LEVELING gear are you? Because that would be terrible advice to a new player. Ignore all leveling gear and you will do fine going from 1-50 with just quest rewards/the occasional dungeon loot. Worse case scenario you can buy a piece you need from the vendor or from the marketboard. Do not bother leveling up your crafting professions to craft yourself any gear, leveling or endgame.

i think i did say dungeon gear is better ? and she also said that she want to craft her own gear, which is pretty cheap and she can easily gather them all by herself
first time i leveled my toon, i leveled both armorer, miner and marauder crafted all the leveling gear by myself and at lvl 50 i still have a lot of gil

Any player is much better off just focusing on reaching Lv50 first by completing the main scenario quests and the side quests, and you do not need any crafted gear for that whatsoever.

are you saying everyone should be a robot and just quickly ASAP get to 50 ? the way people enjoying the game is different to each other
