Is it to late ,Gil?

[Gillionaire]

You're broke because you're spending money where it isn't necessary..

I don't have a single off hand melded because it's just not needed for anything.
If you have your lucis tool, which you SHOULD get before your off hand anyway your stats should be as follows.

472 crafts
426 control
352 CP.

All your offhand should have is 4 Control and 3 CP, but that's not even necessary so I decided to just save my money..
At 472 craftsmanship you're already at a softcap, next one it in the 500s and you won't decrease the number of synthesis steps by any. The one exception I've found to this so far has been the primal weapons.. But you can just use the FC buff for that to get to 482 craftsmanship and you will be able to craft with 1 step less but you wouldn't really be making primal weapons for money anyway.. nobody ever buys them



Another thing of note:

if you've spent 3m each on the off hands, or if you made them yourself, let's say 1.5m. That's already 12m gil for all the off hands MINIMUM.
You can actually craft up to 3 stars with lucis + militia. Or artisan + artisan off hand can do it too, with a bit of a food buff iirc.

Don't expect to make your money back on 4 star crafting, you can even skip the manual altogether if you'd like.. Point is, you need to stay lean to have some extra gil laying around.. So sorry to hear about your apron That must've been a tough decision to make.
