We need more ways to make gold in this game.

I dont know personally I enjoy botany (but then I enjoy grinding in most games) and while it doesnt sell for much individually when you spend an hour and make enough gil off an NPC to sustain a day of dungeoning its really not that hard to see as a viable option

Pretty much every resource I've looked at that I've logged up has sold for 1 gil... maybe 2. So if you're telling me that you can harvest 2000-4000 items in an hour... I think you need to share your secrets to gathering.

Edit: Based on Riyo's post and assuming you can make 1800 gil an hour you're still looking at 2-3 hours DAILY spent gathering purely to cover repair costs and nothing else, no teleports or airship. It's still not a sustainable model. Don't forget that repair costs will only increase and gear level increases.
