I hear so many complaints about how hard it is to make gil in this game and that crafting is monopolized by the 1 percenters..

Just to prove a point, and because I was tired of having to change prices every 10 minutes on high competition market, I've done a little experiment over the past few weeks and here is the result.






All low level (don't need a level 50 crafter for this)
All low competition (don't need to babysit the MB all day long)
and also low demand (not a good thing, but it is the truth)


If you want to make gil in this game and you're having trouble.. Go make an alt, play for a couple days to unlock that extra pair of retainers and put them to work. You don't need to sell anything high-end or high competition, just stock up your spare retainers with whatever you see the market has a deficit of, let it sit for a few days and it will eventually sell.

P.S. Note the price difference between rose gold nugget and steel ingot
P.P.S. This works better on low to medium pop servers where not everything on the MB is saturated, I imagine it should still work for high pop servers as well, your choice will be limited though.
