OK, I gotta vent. Are people stupid or... Stupid?

EDIT: THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE CURRENT SITUATION. NOT WHEN PATCH 1.21 FIRST CAME OUT.

I keep getting the notion that since I'm a GSM50 that I make tons of money, and let me tell you... NO I'M NOT. You want to know why?

2 reasons:

1) Because making new jewelry is pointless since there's always 30+ items listed of the hot selling ones, and people undercut like crazy.

2) And second of all and the most important of the two reasons is: HQ jewelry is WORTHLESS because people STILL undercut like crazy even when there's 3 +1 rings listed...

So here's an example of WHY making +1 items and selling them is pointless:

I want to HQ a Zircon Ring +1 (Int +18). I buy 3x Electrum ores +1 for 50k each, and a zircon gem for around 30k. I begin the synthesis process and I freakin HQ the ring!!! Go over to the wards, and the Zircon Ring +1 sells for... 180k....

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

The end.

Update edit: For people who are reading this topic for the first time. In short, it seems like don't bother to level DoH classes as getting the raw materials +1 as a DoL is the way to go to make money.

Which basically means, I WAS RIGHT.

I doubled my gil this patch...again...GSM 50 my only 50 craft.

OK then maybe I have to be more specific for some of you people out there. Editing my initial post.

Patience. Just throw it up at the Market Ward and wait a day or two. People will most definitely undercut you, but after those get sold, yours will sell as well. I only check one every other day and adjust prices if my things didn't sell.

Kamikaze, I thought like that as well, but I REFUSE to sell my ring +1 for anything less than 400k when it almost cost me 200k to make, and let me tell you this, I made that Ring +1 when the patch first came out, and till now, prices kept going down and not up and I wasn't able to sell it for more than 400k. It's not a matter of patience anymore.

Thing is, failing that synth would've cost me 200k, but I HQ'd it, and I plan to make my money back and then some, us DoH deserve at least that.

Level your miner for the electrum ores and the raw zircon and that whole 180k you would get is all profit, if you buy the mats you are just asking to loose money.

[JackDaniels]

You could always just give HQs to your friends and sell NQs

[Irzibe]

Can you guys at least see what I'm saying? Because what JackDaniels and Delsus said means EXACTLY what I am thinking. DoH are USELESS now. And the only saving grace is materia melding... Yet GSMs don't get much interms of that either.

What you are saying is that you are lazy and cannot be bothered to lvl Miner, the people putting the rings up cheaper is prolly people who have miner leveled, then Electrum ore costs 0 gil, raw zircon costs 0 gil, make some zircons from the raw ones and the whole 180k you get is profit, they dont care how much they put the rings up then becuase the mats cost nothing.

Btw how much are NQ zircon rings on Lindblum?

lol is my answer to the whole comment, not just the question at the end. You sir fail to see what I'm talking about, therefore I have nothing to say to you.
