Hello everyone!

I stopped playing FFXIV a few months after 1.0 was first released. I tried a bit of the beta, but didn't get a chance to really get a feel of what the crafting system is like. My goldsmith is at level 42, and I have no idea where to begin once the early access servers are up. I remember previously I relied on leves and crafting coral arrowheads over and over again. Do any level 50 goldsmiths have any advice for me?

Also, for those who played primarily goldsmith in 1.0, how valuable was the class? Were you able to make enough gold to support all of your other classes?
