    Any profitable items to craft Legacy servers?

    Since most Legacy server players already have almost all crafting classes, I was wondering if it's still profitable to level up a crafting class there? I came from a non-legacy server and I used to gain a bit of profit from there, but I transferred due to some private reasons.

    PS:
    I have a CRP, WVR, LTW, ALC @ Lv 50 atm. Currently leveling a GSM as well.

    Craft high-level belts, boots, and gloves, do a few AK/WP runs, then convert them into materia. Sell materia. The gear/mats themselves cost maybe 5-10k, but the materia usually sells for anywhere between 50k to 175k depending on server.

    By high-level, you mean the Lv 55 ones?

    Yes, the iLv55 ones. You'll usually get a G3 materia, which sells for anywhere between 20-70k, which should be a profit even if you bought mats. Sometimes you get unlucky with elemental resist materia, but that's part of the gamble. Once in a while you'll get a G4 materia which easily makes up for those. I just started spiritbonding and converting this week, and I've already made 600k. I consider myself to have been fairly unlucky in the conversions, but since I started out at 80k, I'd say it's going pretty well.

    Once you get GSM to 50, I hear it gets a lot easier, since you can spiritbond jewelry. I'm leveling mine too.

    For accessories, I assume the 55 ones are Aetheryte Rings and Militia Wristlets? But isn't it Materia III price is too low? Though there's a chance to get a Materia IV, I've read that the chances are pretty slim.

    For profit you should sell dyes and potions, in reasonable stack sizes. (dye 1-5; potion in steps of ten to test which sells good)

    If you wanna have a huge amount of money with one sell, iLvl 55 is your way.

    I like Random-Number-Generator
    'cause I'm able to accept that
    a dice normally has six sides
    a pyramid has 5 sides
    a toast has 2 sides
    AND I CAN'T PREDICT WHICH SIDES IT FALLS TO.

    Depends on your server. Most servers have a pretty decent materia market. Or you could play it safe and sell HQ Lv55 items as they are. Slower profit, but consistent.

    Humhum~ I computed the mats cost here in Masamune if I crafted and sell iLv 55 gears (Crafting Gears), will only gain a profit of around 1k or so. seems not worth all the trouble.

    Probably I'll try the materia thingy instead.
