the artisans will only drop if sealants become cheaper as the other mats are common anyways.

I can see why you want to hold of but expansion is months away and in that time you could make a lot of gil and therefore speed up any future enhancements the devs throw us.

people say gil is worthless but really it can help you push your classes beyond other people quite quickly if you have enough

no it doesn't help you level but it does help make gear cheaper and any other tools you may need whilst others are making do with subpar gear whilst levelling.
