    Looking for BC idea's

    I just hit bonecraft 100 yesterday and I'm looking for advice on what to start making for money. I've got ww capped at 60 and leather is currently at 46 and in the process of going to 60. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their money makers to give me some idea's. I understand if you don't since you don't want people hording in on your synths. I'm on Ragnarok server and would love some advice.

    You are just going to get the usual replies people give everyone here.

    Perhaps someone can make a sticky thread on "Before you ask other people on money-making recipes, read this..."?

    Yeah and I figured I would, i was just hoping for more, ya know. I totally understand people not wanting to give up their money making synths though. Just thought I'd give it a shot. I'm super poor after all the craft leveling and haven't had time to do alot of research on it. I've done a little and it's been a little discourging. Seems like unless you HQ you don't make shit. I know there's always the RR hairpins but the margins are too small on Rag. Costs
    45k to make and sells for 50-60k. Not worth it IMO but that's just me.

    And for the edit, My hq's suck even on T3+ with shall shells going for black pearls. But whatever,

    I make a lot of gil with bone, but I lose too, need to look at what you can make, what is selling/out of stock. I find I make a lot of gil on the little stuff that is easy to hq selling at 10k a pop fast, but I get in a good groove with it and then BAM undercut badly so stop making that. I chocobo dig and get a lot of giant femurs for free so make stuff with that, but I had bone knives +1 up to 10k and then BAM now they at like 3k when the nq sells for 2k. It's all about what you can make money on now, what is on ah, even 10k profit adds up fast.

    You're really underestimating the power of the offline auction house, aren't you?

    Since (assumingly) you've taken the time to get 100 bonecraft, the same methods you used to do so also applies to making money ...

    Not really, the money i used to level bone was gotten from BC's, nm's, and farming my own mats. Now that I have Bone 100 I'm looking to no longer have to farm and would like to do BC's that I don't have to sell the drops and do the ones for items that I want instead of for money.

    You're the douche, do some research, if you can't figure out what to make from FFXIAH, then you should just go back to farming for money. The most profitable recipes for any craft are a constantly moving target; someone could give you a recipe today that is unprofitable in a week.

    I figured you wouldn't have the motor skills to actually do half an ounce of research for your lazy ass self.

    A: Prices for materials AND finished products are different on different servers.

    B: FFXIAH ACTUALLY SHOWS YOU THE AMOUNT OF PROFIT FOR NQ/HQ PRODUCTS.

    C: Why ask for help here? Clearly if you are too lazy to do any REAL research you are going to be too lazy to wait for synths to sell and just undercut all the diligent crafters anyway.

    D: You should have been swallowed.

    Was this post helpful, Douche?

    Just a follow up: This person was the same one who made his own AV thread in advanced to say this...

    "I'm sure this has been tried or at least suggested but I couldn't find anything with the search, espcially with the multitude of pages already made on AV. If so I apologize in advanced and will totally accecpt the "Noob" status.

    I was just wondering if anyone had tried to Curse AV with either an Acient Sword, Misery Staff, or a Blu Ability (Not sure if Blu can even learn Curse). I just came back to FFXI after a 2 year break so sorry for the potential noobness that comes with that."

    Yup it was locked after 5 posts. (Three of them said "Run" one of them was his and the last was the Modkitty asking if he had really signed up just to post that lol)

    You come here and ask one of the worst, most stupid questions that can be asked in crafting (by a 100 crafter, no less!) and then you insult people.

    Nice, really nice.

    Yup that was me. I wont deny that. At this point coming back to the game after 2 years of being gone from the game I had no idea what had been attempted and/or what hadn't. I guess everything has been tried and yet AV is still unbeatable. That's a cop out if you ask me. Everything hasn't been tried because SE wouldn't make a mob that can't be beaten. But that's a whole different issue.

    I'm sorry I was looking for advice thinking that people would be helpful and not total assholes about it. And like I said in my original post I wasn't looking for people to give up everything, just some friendly advice. As for not doing research I've been doing that since I hit the 90's and couldn't come up with much anything that was actually worth the time. All the margins are too small to make it worthwhile.

    Just forget I asked and lets leave it at that.
