If people simply dont understand that you can Rank up a Craft to 50, without spending much Gil, they didnt understand it. ( Was the same in FFXI btw ).



Rings are a Skillup Item. If you try to sell these via Bazaar you will sit on them for a long Time and you will slow down your crafting progress. Just vendor them, but only do if you farmed the Mats yourself.. even if its just a couple thousand Gil per Ring, in the end its pure profit over the Ranks you are making them.



Goldsmith can craft a lot of different things btw. not only Rings. So you need to get away from that way of thinking.



Tell me the Craft which will Upgrade Weapons then i.e. Banneret Lance, Jade Hora? Who will craft the Arrowheads? Who will craft the Gems, which are needed in Weapons? Who will craft the Ingredients for the NM Weapons as in Aeolian Scimitar? etc etc Goldsmith is needed for a lot, you never realized that?



To be honest, that comment was just bs.



... *facepalm*.. No offense, but you need to understand that there is really more than just Rings. I dont think you realized that while you was sp'ing it.
Wow you just totally missed the point entirely. No, NO crafts are expensive if you only do leves, good for you for figuring that out. And no one is buying vendor trash rings, I'm talking STAT rings. People want sunstone, etc rings and they don't want to buy anything else. Everything else goldsmith makes is vendor trash. Thanks for proving my point.
Being able to craft vendor trash does not make the job more useful.
And yeah. I already gave mention to the half dozen weapons that goldsmith will be needed for. But whoohoo, goldsmith gets 6 things to upgrade while all other crafts can upgrade practically everything they make.

Yeah, you REALLY proved me wrong, dude. /sarcasm
