I thought it takes a lot of money to pay for all of your crafters to level to max following those guides!

You should have more than enough just by doing MSQ/playing the game, and the payoff more than makes up for the investment. It's really not that hard to get into.

Nope.

You actually make Gil, really. But then it depends on which guide you follow and how much reading you do or don't do - If you just copy/paste macros, then.... But take Ishgard Restoration - Even if you were to buy the materials outright, by the time you have even hit 51-52~ via Ishgard, you'll have made plenty of Skybuilders' Scrip which can either be used directly into making you Gil. Whether that is through dyes or Brass/Steel Spoils - You can get these and trade them in for Heavensward-related materials which still sell for a pretty penny, you can also use these if you wish to self-fund (without spending Gil) on levelling between 51-60~ - You'll make a bountiful amount of Crafters' scrip which you can trade in for materia and then sell those on the market, or you can use them yourself when you hit 90.

Literally, it's all self-sufficient with a minimal amount of spending Gil. The only way you'll spend Gil is by ignoring half of the systems that the game throws at you. I would say the people that parrot "Crafting is so expensive to level OMG" - Are probably the ones that spend for the sake of spending without considering cheaper ways of getting materials - Or how they can get them even through what they have at the moment e.g., through scrips.
