Crafters.. Is it supposed to be this hard to make money?

[synesthetic]

OP, if you're seriously asking for advice on how to make money faster, then Xiao Yiyi already gave advice in her thread (which you mentioned) a few times: [1] [2] [3].
Opportunity is worth as much or more than your ability as a crafter. There's nothing new available to craft right now; opportunity is low.

And I hope that's just an alt you send your gil to. Because.. only up to Lv.20 quests in the main scenario, and especially Lv.50 BLM without Flare on your hotbar..?

Yeah at this rate, it'll take me a good 2 years to reach 2 billion and that's just insane.. I need a faster way to make gil

And what´s the point?
63 Million, 2 Billion... even the first Sum is more than i spent in the entire game so far xD

But it´s not a miracle, max out your crafters, craft stuff ppl want (check Marketboard for desired items), point.

Best is always after a patch, especially if new gear and raid comes out, HQint those highlevel stuff is essential to progress raiders. and of course, newbies with rmt money love to buy those stuff.

Now that you mention it, it doesn't look like he has any of the Black Mage job abilities on his hotbar. xD

Level 50 Thaumaturge, confirmed.

The guy doesn't even have a level 50 THM. His highest job is Dragoon, which is his only level 50 combat job (the other three 50's being alch, miner and botanist). I think the screenshot is from someone else's character.

I can only wonder what on earth you would ever need 2 billion gil for.

Levelling all crafters to max and making 63mil in just 3 weeks? Give me a break.
You do realise you can run out of levequests if you want to level all crafters in this short period of time? I've got almost all crafters maxed up with good gears and find it hard to make 1mil a day..

[LordHadi]

Did you guys check his join date?

Yay finally.. stupid posting limit.

I already said that it's my crafting alt.. she IS a BLM, I just posted that on my laptop at work and that's the default action bar when you load up a lv 50 character on a separate system. I only do MB related stuff at work so I don't bother with my hotbars..

As for the quests, I only did them for the chocobo to get around, she's just my future proofing alt against the specialization that's coming in case there's something gated behind the specialization.. I know they announced it won't, but I'd rather not take my chances.. So this way, I'll have 6 crafts to specialize in instead of 3..

And what´s the point?

Well, it's not that I need the money immediately, but it's one of my end-game goals to get there.. 1 Billion gil, I just love the sound of it and I've been crafting my ass off for the past few weeks right.. then I realized at this rate, I'll reach my first billion IN A YEAR!! That doesn't sound right, there's gotta be a better way..

Also, one of my other goal is.. Just for shits and giggles, when they add new wards to housing, I want to carve out a portion of it and make a little neighborhood..

Plots 8, 11, 12, and 13 would make a nice little neighborhood and of course 9 and 10 would be a nice bonus too..
So I'm leveling up extra FCs, got my second one to rank 5, almost 6.. Then I'm gonna work on my third FC.


Also, there's no way in hell I'd be caught dead advertising for a RMT.. I've just gotten to a point where I can just ignore it like it's not even there.. I don't even bother deleting the requests because new ones come in less than 10 minutes..

[KizunaBlade]

man...i am struggling to just make enough for my fc's medium house. Been at it for 2 months and we're not there yet. I would do anything to have the money you do XD.

[Eye_Gore]

Not sure you want to do that. I'll tell you after I made my first billion 4 weeks into the game, I realized I didn't have anything to spend it on. I mean I didn't even buy any of my gear. So I decided to be a nice guy and tried selling the Gil to people, man did that not go over too well. I mean I thought 1 gil for 10 was a good deal, but people just sent me nasty tells and blacklisted me. So now I just light my campfire outside my mansion with Gil and cry myself to sleep.
