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

[Mayin]

So last week I was like hey, I should be able to turn a decent profit by selling stacks of Woolen yarn. At the time they were going for like 230 ea. now ive been undercut so many times that its not worth trying anymore. Today a stack of woolen yarn goes for 149 ea. Even with all crafts maxed most gear isnt profitable enough to bother making and you cant sell philo for anything wither. I am absolutely stumped, other than random tips I make for melding, I can't make jack squat.

SE expect you to do DFR, beastmen and treasure hunting everyday, crafting and gather for profit is a crime

SE wants you to reply to that guy sending you messages about the cheapest gil

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.

I made 150k on culinarian last weekend. Seems worth it to me.

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.

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.

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.
