You'd be surprised how easy it is to make money crafting even the low level items that only take vendor items to make. Find things that sell every day and the market isn't flooded and focus on those. Sure I wasn't making 100m+ and reaching gil cap like some crafters, but making 2m a month with basically ZERO risk of investment by only crafting things made from vendors seems perfectly reasonable to me. Then once you DO have a few million you can choose to invest in more costly things.

Hempen Breeches of Crafting = 179g to make, sold HQ on the MB for 5,000g. People buy crazy things on the MB for ridiculous prices.
