Help! How the heck do I make money in this game?

[Tiggy]

People were saying 'level your crafters and gatherers!' when the game launched and there was no way to make money. Now everyone has them all up and they aren't even worth having anymore.
Thanks.

I made 150k on culinarian last weekend. Seems worth it to me.

Maybe he is just lazy.... i dunno

I would spend maybe 1-2 hours on my botanist gathering mats and on another day I would craft buttons/cabbage/toast/eggs etc.
2 stacks at around 1,200-1,600 each piece of food....works for me

People just want to be handed a solution. There is this mind set in this MMO that I've never seen before. People want constant, easy handouts. Gone are the days of people who look through every crack to find a good market. Meanwhile, those of us who do look through the cracks keep making cash.

I don't know what you're expecting people to respond with. The only methods people will freely divulge are those that everyone already knows about.

As people have said, the best kept secrets are the best methods because... they are secrets. If all you're looking for is confirmation that these do still exist in order to motivate your searching then I can assure you that they are still there. I personally know of two different ways to make well over 100-200k an hour with almost zero effort. I'm sure many more exist but I have no desire to look for them until these money wells dry up, which is highly unlikely in the near future.

Isn't it funny when people point out the problems with the current economy, a certain defensive cluster of apologists flood the thread with, "dude you're lazy, I just made a bazillion gil by falling over...oops sorry I'd tell you how but then I'd have to kill you." Pfft

Yea because this thread is an in-depth analysis of the game's economics. It's definitely not one titled, "Help! How the heck do I make money in this game?".

People that make money do not owe you and anyone else their secrets to making money lol.

Problem is that people like to see large numbers instead of the 1200 a stack because that means less work for them in creating items to sell.

Orly?

If you find 4 hrs of your time in game to make 300k too much work then I am okay with that honestly. More market share for me.
