Making Gil

[juniglee]

If you're going to craft early on, start with something like weaver, and make thread and cloth, and sell that that. It's easier on your wallet then goldsmithing is.

I'd argue that if he has a Miner, Goldsmithing is more self-sustainable than Weaver. Weaver actually consumes a lot of Lightning Shards, compared to Goldsmithing's Wind Shards consumption. Goldsmithing is pretty self-sustained as well, in that it mainly uses the stuff you get as a Miner, compared to needing materials from other classes. Different servers, different economy though - however I am speaking from personal experience here.

The bulk of a Goldsmith's cost comes from the Ores - ie. Silver Ores, Mythril Ores. For Weaver, it's the amount of Shards spent.
