Anyone willing to drop some advice my way regarding final anima stage?

[drmambo1999]

So I am on the 3rd stage to get my anima relic for my BLM and I don't mind the alexander grind all that much (though it is quite a lot. XD) but the crafting items are killing me!

I haven't had much interest in crafting and I don't make a whole lot of gil with my current gameplay style. I like to think I am somewhere in between hard core and casual with my play time. I can spend whole days playing on my days off and a few hours on some work days, but since I work at a hotel, my schedule is all over the place so I don't have a consistent amount of time to dedicate to this grind.

Basically, what I am getting at here, is, how the heck am I gonna get those crafting items? XD I don't have a lot of time to farm gil while I am running those alex runs and I don't want to spend the equivalent amount of time spent in Alex on farming gil either. (Though if I have to I have to. XD)

Anyone have some tips on making enough gil to get these items for anima in a fairly efficient manner? (That does not include crafting my own.)

Thank you for your time all and happy gaming! ^^
