Botany and making money

[Boris1988]

I have officially got addicted to harvesting my way around Eorzea and making lots of gil. I got up to titan in the story with my white mage but since then have just been right into botany. Loving it

What are u selling?
i haavent found really anything that actually sell well. I get a hit every now and then.

I too have been making a ton from botany. Each time I log in I check my retainer and they have sold everything, so I restock my retainer and go about my business.

I've been wondering what's the best thing to sell? I'm not level 50 yet(only 34) so there's probably not much that well sell for me until I get a higher level. But I'd still like to know the best things to put on the market in the future ^^.

I'm only level 27 and I am making quite a lot of gil. for example last night I put about an hours worth of harvesting stuff on the market board and wake up this morning and its all gone and my retainer has 30000 gil waiting for me. iv found logs sell really well and there's always shards and crystals . they go straight away most of the time. I don't do any crafting at the present time so everything I harvest I sell

[Boris1988]

Some other things that sell well are highland parsley, lavender, elm logs, walnut logs, sun lemons faerie apples, noble grapes just to name a few. but it depends what you would describe as making lots of money. what I think is a lot other people might think is not much so yea

I think it depends on server too. I just switched servers and noticed that the prices are much better in favor of the botanist.

Hmm I'll try gathering some of those things, thanks for the suggestions . I just need enough gil to keep me from going broke xD.

Shards and crystals. My botanist is 50 and while I can make money on other items I make 90% of my gil off shards and crystals. Make sure you have all the wards (miner up to 20 as well ) just go to the level 31 nodes where 2/4 nodes give crystals. One of those nodes will give you +2 shards with each swing. Every other pass you pop a ward for 300GP at that node for +4 shards per swing, and in a hour you should have gotten hundreds of shards and crystals. Check daily which shards are in demand and going for the best prices, or save them for the weekend crafters like I do. If you want to gather items try to go for those items used in leves, and find the items used in the 3x turn ins like walnut logs. I cannot stress enough you must proactively check your boards! Market is always in flux.

Do leves. Leves are easy money.
