    Crafting Question

    I'm looking for a craft. That does not have the cost of something along the lines of GoldSmithing or Smithing. Something that has a reasonable cost to level and has a great put out at 100.

    None of them have a reasonable return for the effort put into them anymore?

    not even goldsmithing has a decent return anymore. it's a the fact that supplies are expensive, NQs are cheap, and HQs are also cheap, combined with the fact that shit just isn't selling, even when you do HQ it.

    Agreed. But you have to be very smart to make a profit, facing the RMT troops that seem to have no problem undercutting and selling everything for a loss.

    edit: Oh, and there's a crafting forum, if you wanna discuss that kind of stuff =)

    Back when I leveled alchemy (year or more ago) I made profit skilling to 60. A guy I know made profit all the way to 100. I would assume that this is now impossible (Assault killed a lot of the alchemy market).

    However, if I suddenly had no crafting skill and had to start over, alchemy or cooking would be the two crafts I'd pick between. Consumables are the way to go, hands down.

    Fishing, because the first half of leveling it involves collecting carp for a 3M gil rod. >_>
