The Real Problem

[SchalaZeal]

I don't even have the gil to teleport and do Cacpot. Retainers are full and selling nothing of what used to be millions of gil worth of vanity, now worth far less then they cost to make. (Allagan Leather).

You can't teleport or pay Cactpot? Seriously? Why let yourself get below 10 million in the first place?

I'm at 57 million and wouldn't drop below 10 million for any reason that's not meld-related.

Also, I was crafting the augmentation items (Fighter Augment was a nice one, though it didn't sell often), for 200-300k a piece (for maybe 50k of annoying-to-get mats). Retainers can bring them now. Price? 90k if lucky, 30k otherwise, for all augments.

I note my amount of gil at the end of the day to check my progress.

43.6 -> 45.2 -> 47.9 -> 49.1 -> 49.7 -> 51.2 -> 52.7 -> 53.6 -> 55.5 -> 57.1

I started supplying my crafting with some gathering. So some, maybe half (rarely more than 700k in a day from gathering alone) is from gathering whatever I think is worth it. I make no items above 50 starred items (though I could). I'm only keeping about 30 items on retainers, along with whatever the retainers bring that isn't NPC tier.
