    The bolded part is true for damage dealers and healers. However, tanks may need to purchase accessories to bring up their ilevel requirements. It depends on how lucky you are with drops.
    That's really only true pre-50. Once you have access to Tomestone gear there's no reason you need to spend gil on gear.

    After you reach level cap and gear up for the endgame you may also want to buy gear. It is either that or leveling crafters yourself or grinding tomestones for gear. Buying better gear from the Market Board is a legit way of getting it at level cap.
    Also... I never said buying gear wasn't legitimate. I merely meant that once you have access to Tomestone gear, you don't have to spend Gil on gear to meet ilvl requirements while leveling. Meeting gear requirements with alt jobs is incredibly easy with access to tomestone gear. Heck even pre 50, if you have one combat job at 50+ you have the capability of earning GC seals in significant quantities and can buy pre-50 gear for your alt jobs with those to fill any gaps until you can use Tomestone gear.

    How many men am I involved with? Well that depends... do you mean men as in males? Or just midlanders?

    Yeppers. Actually, discovered Idyllshire right after I posted.

    I was like "I have HOW MUCH I can spend???" *giggle*

    It was nice being able to gear up my main and an alt class so quickly. Biggest decision was which alt job to get to ilvl.

    Anyways... I'm contributing too much to thread drift.

    Back on topic, your mileage may vary, OP, but I have found selling items which low to medium level crafters want provides me a comfortable flow of gil.

    There are always individuals leveling DoHs and they get impatient. So, they buy the mats they need rather than gather them. That's what's known as a market and I focus on those players.
