Gill earnings!

[Hanabira]

The reason I wasnt really wanting to talk about Crafting and such is because its not a gil fountain. Its not something that brings more money into the econamy, it's only a means of shuffling it around. Sad to hear that you arent making as much but we needed more ways to get gil into the game. Look more for the new rare materiels and recipes.

So, how did you make money from the fleece you farmed? Sell it at the Market Wards? Ok. Next question, where did the person who bought that item get their gil from? A gil fountain. Before the biggest fountain was through the quests as you leveled, which were exhaustible. What I was looking for was how are people making money now from these new fountains (the ones I listed) I tried to stay away from Mat's because I know thats just a shuffling of gil

well for 1, the person i responded to said income, not gil creation. i get income from working my job, not from printing fresh bills.

Those prices were extremely inflated and not at all within what the items should be selling for once the market gets more stable. Most people knew those prices would not last. I almost always post things on the AH with a cost to make/earn + reasonable profit rate; sometimes it is less than the other listings and sometimes it is more and they sit for longer.

For a widely used item that drops 1 at a time, i think 300gil each isnt bad all things considering. There are things on the AH that were easier to get that cost more. but increasing a drop rate from 1-3 at a time to up to 12 is ridiculous

I realize that, it just wasn't the purpose of the OP. So, why not take advantage of the cheap prices right now ans stockpile some mats that you know will be used in furnishing crafting. This way you can make a killing once people start getting their houses. Don't be so shortsighted, think about the long term too.

This part -- Crafting and selling on the market boards is actually a gil sink. Yes, it redistributes, but it also drains gil with every sale. You may well realize that, but there are MANY people who ignore that fact. The only way to avoid that is to work with trades instead of the MB, but I for one love not having chat flooded with "WTS, WTB!" except the d-baggy "WTS ifrit/garuda/titan" furnishing pieces... and I'd love to injure those shouters.
