You welcome

People were saying 'level your crafters and gatherers!' when the game launched and there was no way to make money. Now everyone has them all up and they aren't even worth having anymore.
Thanks.

Maybe he is just lazy.... i dunno

I would spend maybe 1-2 hours on my botanist gathering mats and on another day I would craft buttons/cabbage/toast/eggs etc.
2 stacks at around 1,200-1,600 each piece of food....works for me

People just want to be handed a solution. There is this mind set in this MMO that I've never seen before. People want constant, easy handouts. Gone are the days of people who look through every crack to find a good market. Meanwhile, those of us who do look through the cracks keep making cash.

I don't know what you're expecting people to respond with. The only methods people will freely divulge are those that everyone already knows about.

As people have said, the best kept secrets are the best methods because... they are secrets. If all you're looking for is confirmation that these do still exist in order to motivate your searching then I can assure you that they are still there. I personally know of two different ways to make well over 100-200k an hour with almost zero effort. I'm sure many more exist but I have no desire to look for them until these money wells dry up, which is highly unlikely in the near future.

Isn't it funny when people point out the problems with the current economy, a certain defensive cluster of apologists flood the thread with, "dude you're lazy, I just made a bazillion gil by falling over...oops sorry I'd tell you how but then I'd have to kill you." Pfft

Problem is that people like to see large numbers instead of the 1200 a stack because that means less work for them in creating items to sell.

Orly?

If you find 4 hrs of your time in game to make 300k too much work then I am okay with that honestly. More market share for me.

Did I say I think this? Its almost expected that people want to see big numbers when selling items. When they see most stuff selling for under 100 gil a piece they then turn around and say there is nothing to sell. They want to see items going for 500 gil a piece. What they do not understand is that when items inflate so does their item that they are save up for inflates. The items will always have a gap of expensive between them. Its for you as the player to work with what you got and to make money. You can make money when a market is down and when a market is up.
