    Alchemist is a good thing for making gil. In about an hours worth of work I put up lots of different things for sale and all of it sold in a little over an hour and I made 1.5~ mil. Much better than mining IMO since everyone and their mother does it and -most- hot items for ALC you can farm with DoW/M easily or get for cheap from NPCs. Most profitable item would be Elixers (depending on your server I would guess), on mine they go for 45k each and they sell super fast.

    Elixirs are great for selling, but when they sell 1-10 at a time on my server, the benefiting seller is a single person as they stack up to 99, so you end up having a lot of people undercutting and only sometimes do you get the cash. On the mining end of things, Cobalt Ore - at least 17 stacks of 99 Cobalt Ore sold within 10 minutes on my server, and that's not out of the ordinary. ^_^; It's easier to make money because you don't have to constantly undercut when people are just buying that amount.

    I do think mining is a little more time consuming than crafting, though, if at least during the early levels.

    Well I guess it does depend on server. I don't really have to undercut (I just set the same price as the lowest price usually) and they don't ever sit for more than a day.
