Most Lucrative Professions for making Gil?

Discuss ^

I am a miner, and goldsmith, but so far I havent really been able to make like in the hundreds of thousands per item. I'm level 50 in both, and was wanting some advice on these things.

Also any other professions that would be more lucrative right now?

The only items that sell for "hundreds of thousands" are overpriced junk that uses items bought with tomestones.
If you're actually making a profit, consider it lucrative.

I dont know man... A lot of vanya gear sells very quickly for a million plus gold.

I mean... I dont think a lot of it is overpriced because some of those mats are extremely expensive.

To make a profit from Vanya gear, you practically need a couple of DoH at level 50 anyways, so you can't just pick one DoH and expect loads of gil rolling in.
Also whatever is mentioned here to be the most lucrative might backfire because of people reading this thread and going to try the same thing you are.

On my server the tomestone materials for making a 2 star part like that goes for like 90k each, so basically 1.8m gil you could make by just selling the materials directly. You'll barely make a profit from selling a 2 star item and even worse if you don't HQ it, then you will lose gil.

There's only hefty profit if you HQ and meld the crap out of it... And yeah, it's still overpriced. There's very few crafted item level 70 items worth bothering with due to the stat caps, nevermind the price. If you're a Goldsmith, you'd be focusing on the astral/rose gold accessories. Most of it's just gear for lazy/ignorant gil buyers. :\

Ok thanks guys, but what about other professions that are lucrative?

I'm making a lot of money from GSM and LTW by selling crafting gear.
On weekends you will make less because of a million people undercutting each other with 20%+.

I don't know about the most profitable, but I can tell you that there seems to be absolutely no profit in fishing, which is kind of a shame.

Alright thanks, yea I was thinking about leatherworker. How is getting the mats to get to 50? Is it hard? How long does it take? Is it expensive to get to 50 as a leatherworker?
