Carpentry gets you tons of $$$ right now because of personal rooms.
What's really frustrating with spiritbonding is that you get a very high chance of getting primary attribute materia's/elemental materias and those are useless. Everything is RNG. You can craft a whole set, left/right of DoW/DoM gear and every single one converts into lightning/water/fire materia, that is aggravating to say the least, whereas someone else doing the same thing walks away with Savage Aim III and IV's. It can get really discouraging

I feel there needs to be a line concerning RNG. It's great to have in an MMO sure, but every aspect of this game relies on RNG and it's becoming exhausting
