Help! How the heck do I make money in this game?

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

Yes and when everyone and their brother has CUL leveled because its currently the best way to make gil from crafting, how much do you think you'll be making then? If I tried to level it now by the time I reach 50 all the stuff worth selling will be undercut to almost less than mat price.
Just like every other 'flavor of the month' craft.

Duh?

It was common knowledge that 2.1 was going to make food last after you die. This was known in like the beginning of November. It is now January 9th. Pretty easy to figure out what is going to happen with the demand. It takes a whole 3 days max to level a craft to 50....1 day for culinarian or alchemist.

You have no excuse but rather come on here and whine like a girly man. I have no sympathy for you.

Lol. I'm not asking for sympathy, what I'm saying is your 'lvl cul to 50, I make money derp' is awfully dumb advice when its almost past its prime as *the* moneymaker. And I was trying to point out that the 'just level crafts' 'advice' is 60% of the reason why the crafting economy is crap at this moment in time.

@OP I'll say just don't worry about gil, there's not much for it anyway other than leveling crafts/housing/i70 junk. Unless you want to play 'watch the mb for hours on end', which I sure as hell don't, I'd rather be killing dragons.
