Is it to late ,Gil?

[dspguy]

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.

Low lvling gathering items are always hot sellers .... yes you have to sell more to gain more but just the other night on Malboro I made 1.2k selling it within 2 hrs with little effort :O

Cul can make a ton of gil with the higher level recipes.

It is not too late to start leveling your crafters. I started leveling my first DOH after 2.4.and i should be getting my second Lucis tonight.

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.

A simple way to become rich is to get your all crafting jobs to 50 and use a guide on how to craft 2 star mats like Darksteel Ingot, Vanya Silk and Treated Spruce Lumber make a macro and buy or farm the mats and you can easy make 40-50% back when sell thees on my server.

I also do gardening for a bit income sometimes a huge income when berry & fruits get low on the marked.

I am rich and own a medium personal house most of my gil come from crafting HQ mats I also craft HQ

Light Steel Galerus
Light Steel Subligar

They sell slow but I can easy make back 100k pr sell or more.

Getting them 3 and 4 star crafting jobs is cool but I bet you the cost for making the items is evening up the selling prize really fast.

If i were you, with Heavensward only 3 months away.. and who knows what's gonna keep you occupied once 2.55 drops, I'd just level GSM only. Forget everything else, just get GSM to level 50 and get yourself a full Goldsmith's set and the cheaper accessories (i.e. Aethryte Ring, Militia Wrist, just swap out the Rose Gold choker and mosshorn earrings for something a little more affordable) then start making hq spinel accessories for spiritbonding and sell the resulting materia.

Sounds like you already have experience selling materia from spiritbonding, you just need to streamline the process. You already have an advantage from having an i130 weapon (I assume)

That's what I'd do if I wanted to make some gil before Heavensward with your circumstances.

I don't know about your pace, but I imagine it would take around 2-3 weeks to get all your craft up to 50.. Then you need to spend a few million to get the gear up, then REALLY spend some money to get ready for 3-4 star crafting.. I don't see you turning a profit in less than a month, more likely 2 months. It is very viable in the long run, as you have a constant source of gil if you're a crafter.. Just not sure if it'd be worth it with Heavensward around the corner unless you want to go all-in.

How do u make that much? You are SBing lvl 40 gears which give Materia III mainly which last I checked aren't going to add up to your amount. Especially in 1.5 hours. Secret?

I bet his trade secret is the ilvl of the gear which he doesn't mention in his post.. Think lv 50 mobs are best for sb'ing ilv 40 gear not ilv 45-49

This is what I did for my crafting "progression":

I started with GSM because I would like to be able to craft all the right-side on my own.

And then I realized that I needed to level everything up to lvl 15 anyways. I think, I went on next to WVR/LTW because I thought I'd like to be able to craft the left side + Careful Desynth skill. I got Alc to lvl 15 last because I wasn't aware of how good the ToT skill is and I probably would advice people to get CD I and ToT ASAP.

Once I got everything up to level 15, I continued leveling my GSM thinking I would want to make that my 'main' craft. But then, as Hasty Touch + SH I proved to be infuriating, I thought I'd make CUL 37 to be my first aim. At the same time, I wanted to be able to craft HQ on my own gears. I think, what that resulted in was that I had all my crafts steadily being leveled together up to level 30 (esp BSM, WVR, LTW and GSM) and that was when I power-leveled my CUL to level 37.

[xallever]

I think, I still got GSM as the first level 50. But then as people told me that CPT has the most important lvl 50 skill, I leveled CPT next. And then, I wanted to craft my own left side again so I went to level WVR and then LTW next. Followed by BSM. From there, I leveled the other crafts slowly doing daily beast tribes. The only other craft that I powerleveled was CUL because of the nature of the profits I can get from it.

You will spend a lot of money to be able to make loads of money, that's for sure. It will require a lot to get to where I'm at with fully melded gears and lucis on my CUL for instance. I do personally advocate for this craft to make money because even though you're not selling for much profit per item (at least in my server), they get sold really really really fast.
