How to make money?!

Of the gatherers, I'd recommend miner.. they have more items that crafters need. For retainer ventures, quick ventures are an RNG crapshoot (could get vendor trash chubs, or multi million selling kingly whiskers) or shards are a low cost/low selling but consistent gil making method. The good quick venture items do need max level/decent gear I believe, so for the short term, maybe leveling with 18 hour ventures and sending them out for shards for gil would be best.

If you are actively leveling a battle class, you can do leves and sell the gear. NQ heavensward gear on my server will sell for 5k-30k, so I pulled in a small amount of profit just from hitting my weekly challenge log bonus.

As a fisher, I hardly fish at all myself anymore. I have a retainer who fishes 90% of what I use to sell. The only time I fish is to get something that my retainer can't get, or to get a fish that I haven't caught yet (your retainer can only get what you have gotten before). But you only need 1, then you can rely on your retainer.

Retainer's can get white coral at lvl 5 (which is probably what I sell most consistently on my server, but it doesn't sell that high). Then bluebell salmon at lvl 16 (sells high, but in bursts). Then lvl 26 Hammerhead sharks, which very often sell well. Then at lvl 41, you can get silver sharks, also good sellers. I tend to pop in some red corals as well which is level 45 for retainer.

This sounds pretty useful actually, I'll look into this myself. Thanks!!
