    Ive come to the conclusion that just about all crafts are FUBAR except T0 high priced synths and crafts that make consumable items. Example, Neirid ring for bonecrafting, T0 synth HQ = about 100k cheap ingredients but still 100k for a T0? And even then most of the rare expensive HQs, if you synth an NQ youre losing a ton of money also...

    It seems like any normal synth of weapons/armor/furniture arent worth anything anymore. More people craft, very few npc (decent items at least) = tons on the market, and with the exception of high level gear, everything just gets sold once the user is done with it. Your best bet is to find a decent consumable synth (ex arrows for WW) and make a little at a time. The days of crafting normal items for profit is over. Seems like the good moneymakers these days (without blowing tons of gil for a rare chance of an HQ) are cooking and fishing, and neither of those will get you that HUGE hq for tons of money, its all a little at a time.

    If your making staves for gil, id get a few gardening mules and make the ores, i usually do cursed gears to make gil for WW but lately divine log prices have gone retardedly high, luckily i have access to other crafts

    I make more money from my woodworking mule than any of my other ones (and I have quite a stable of them, see sig). However, the very last thing I would do would be to tell another crafter how I make my money. My markets get killed fast enough without me helping to make them non-profitable...

    Study the AH, do your homework, you'll be able to find ways to make steady cash.

    Truer words have never been spoken. And the HQ rate on staves is too random for me. Even on Ice day New Moon, which is supposedly the best time/day/rate for hq staves. I've found other synths that are profit even when they NQ, and if they HQ, even better. Key is to have sub crafts leveled as well.
