    I craft a little on the side, but as someone who doesn't have the endgame crafting gear, the sale of crafted items doesn't even come close to the income I generate through the sale of materia. So if it's just money you're looking for, I'd consider SB'ing instead.
    What exactly do you spiritbond if I may ask? I used to do a bit of spiritbonding with i47-49 accsessories, but after converting like 15-20 sets and only getting one single crit IV I gave up. ^^

    A lot of people buy the MorDhona vendor's gear and do those.

    I make an iL 55 set of armor, the right side being L 50 crafting and / or gathering accessories. If I have any pink dungeon drops L 45 - 50 I will wear those. I have been thinking about making iL 70 combat accessories and running some patrician gear.

    If you aren't crafting high level stuff (which to start you won't), it is all about volume, filling niches and diversity. You'd have to make HQ of various types (crafting tools, gathering tools, weapons, armor, etc - HQ). Don't make 10 of the same item. They'll sit on the broker a long time. They won't necessarily sell overnight. But if you keep up with your pricing, they'll sell.

    To break into higher level crafting, you need to lay out a decent amount of gil. However, there have been some changes in easier-to-obtain crafting gear. It may be possible to only meld one set of i55 gear and then go after the new artisan gear (the gown, pattens, etc). However, I don't know if you can make the jump to 3-star gear from there with the artisan MH or not.

    its the gathering portion that sucks

    your supply line is where you are going to be ripped off the most for profits, as there are specific quests and recipes in general that require really inflated materials. To circumvent that, you will want at least one gatherer at 45. On each world, the economies are different, and every week, peek items of value change. What doesn't change is the need for gatherers and the need for frequently used base materials.

    finished lumber, ingots, thread, and undyed cloth are a fast way to break your first million.
    Lumber and thread will depend heavily on botanist, ingots on miner.

    The idea that you have to hit 50 in all classes to make money is false. You can generally make money around level 25-35. To break that coveted 100 million mark though, I dunno, I never did, and I think you need 4 star crafting, which will require alot more than just 50 in 11 classes. like 30 million+ in gear and materia melds.

    Even after hitting 50 in multiple classes, you still need a few million's worth of investment in melded gears to start making decent profits. But is it worth it? Yes it is.

    Lately I've been cooking some 2-star CUL crafts for 10k+ profit per stack of 5, but only because I harvest my own clusters.
