Hi guys! I'm attempting to level my miner with the mindset that mining will be my primary source of gil. I'll do it while waiting for queues, when I'm bored, etc. I can do it for hours and it really doesn't bother me.

With that being said, can mining be a legitimate source of income? I know I'd make a lot more with crafting professions, but you need mats to craft of course

And, by income, I mean I wish to mine stuff rather than crystals, shards, clusters, etc.
