How do I make gil for crafts?

[YanDere]

I really need to find a way to make good gil for crafts.
I don't need 500k per hour, I just need that 30k a day that craft takes.
I took Weaver to lv28 and now I need hundreds of diremite webs to make velveteen gear for triple leves, but on the marketboard they are 99 for 25500 gil.
I can't sell Titan wins because I don't have a group, and I can't sell crafting service for endgame gear because I don't have any craft classes at lv50.
How did you avoid this kind of problems for your lv50 crafts?

1. Sell popular items on the market

2. Gather the diremite web yourself (this is what I did)

3. Do cotton sash leves because so easy.

I skipped level 25 leves and leveled off combines/level 20 leves till 30. At 30 there is a courier style leve for linen pants, so you can skip turning in velveteen completely.

Also the cotton sash rewards diremite webs pretty regularly, so I had enough to craft HQ crafting velveteen from turning in the cotton sashes.

30k a day? Do 1-2 CM / AK / WP. And you're done.

lol - you mean 10-15 a day? The money from dungeons is a nice boost but it's hardly an efficient money maker (especially if you wait in a DPS queue for an hour and then repair your gear).

OP - as Ciana mentioned, lots of leves reward webs for cotton turn ins - so it is possible to get them that way.

Sell what you can make on the market board ... take up a gathering class and gather your materials, especially shards, and do triple leves that you have materials for (it all becomes pure profit if you gather everything) ... and check both the Ul'dah and Quarrymill leves periodically for Diremite Web rewards.

Really, the only reason to buy anything from the market boards is if it is too hard to gather the item yourself. If you need a bunch of Aldgoat Skins, and can't afford the time farming them, you probably don't want to be a Leatherworker anyway. On the other hand, if you need Cobalt stuff, and do not have an Armorer/Blacksmith anywhere near high enough to make them for you, then yes, buy them off the board. But gather everything you are able to get for yourself first. That will save you a TON of gil over time.

Get the items yourself instead of buying them. I know that's probably not what ya want to hear, but it's the only answer that makes any sense.

You might realize that there's more to monetize out of the current dungeons than just the gil rewards from the mobs themselves.

HQ leve turn in items and HQ level 30+ DoH/DoL quest items sell quite regularly and for a good profit.

I've had great success selling HQ food for the CUL quest line. With that alone I've made 1 mil over the past 2 weeks.

I was just going to say that too Buttens! I've been making HQ Walnut Macahuitilseh like crazy. Usually profit 2k apiece for them. Only slight thing about that is you can get undercut really fast (at least in my experience) so you have to babysit those auctions to make sure they sell. But when they do, they usually get all bought at once by the same person!
