If Horizontal Progression is a thing...

[Ashkendor]

There's no way for a non-crafter to make money? I guess all the content I've merced was in my imagination. So's my FC garden. For that matter, all the drops I've farmed in the open world or in dungeons/trials/raids and sold were too. Oh, and the gil bonsues for the challenge log and adventurer in need don't exist either. Crafting makes you *more* money than these (with the possible exception of mercing, depending on what you're able to sell and how often), but honestly it should considering the initial investment.

Anyway, since when is horizontal progression a thing on FFXIV? o.O
