Should I level DoL classes to 50 before leveling my DoH Classes?

You're paying something for it either way.

Mining your materials looks to be free, but you're still paying by way of not selling it. There's no difference between buying 50,000 gil worth of mats and farming up 50,000 gil worth of mats and then choosing not to sell them. Additionally mining takes TIME - both to level your miner, and to gather up the mats you need. That's time you could have spent crafting (and earning more money), or doing other things in the game that you might enjoy.

That isn't to say that mining is useless. You guarantee yourself supplies. You might like the notion of building stuff with materials you gathered up yourself. You might just like mining as something to do when you have some time to kill.

That's not correct. You will have obtained the materials yourself, and as such ''earned money''.

Hence why gathering your own materials if you have the time, is typically the best thing to do.


Altho the crafting expensives are the same, if you gather you earn part of it back right away.


Typically while leveling a crafting class it only loses you money rather then earning it.
