Starting the game as a crafting class does kind of put you in a difficult situation to begin with.
Even with Tanaka's original implementation at launch, I still urged people to start as a battle class. Reason being, you can always just go out and kill shit to earn money as a battle class. As a crafter you have to either make something and sell it or do leves. I always felt like it was required to have at least a single battle class leveled.
