Hello everyone,

I have recently gotten WW to 110 and am starting the crafting shield. However, I feel as though some other crafts could be better in terms of making gil and/or the amount of times that can be feasibly used.
So my question is, what is currently the best craft to invest in and max out? (There are multiple factors such as: Gil, Consumables, Accessories, Armor, Weapons, etc)

Thank you,
Senaki.

There's so many factors involved that one can't honestly state which is the best craft.

You have to look at the various variables to determine which is the best craft for you.

- Server population
- Server population of crafters
- Availability of materials
- Speed of sales
- Most requested item(s) per craft
- Number of Jobs on server

Basically, it really depends on the hot items being sold on your server. Also, remember, crafts change all the time. Cooking used to be hot moneymaker for me, but that went away with the Curio Mogs.

Edit: Could also use your main job(s) as factors too. That's how I decided on Bone, it's to get the good ***for my BLU.

You might be able to make a general outline. Alchemy seems pretty dead to me. All of the good SU3 synths landed on other crafts. Amalric is hard to make gil from these days.

There's no answer, it changes based on bandwagon. BLU being the biggest bandwagon. (yes smn is a huge bandwagon too, but it's not even close to blu in terms of who has it) If BLU can wear it, and someone on AH.com says it's BiS, that's the craft you want.

Jovian pieces were(are still?) the most popular piece. So, Bonecraft.

Gold is always #1 or #2 regardless of bandwagon though IMO. Due to all jobs using accessories. But everyone knows this and there are a ton of goldundercutters, so that makes it NOT always #1 or #2 for gains.

Would be gospel if random accessory recipes weren't Bonecraft, etc.

The best craft to level will change constantly due to market demand on your server. Trust it, these days, someone from another server will likely swoop in to meet the demand and get the best return on their big money HQs anyway.

Especially those who like to wear torques on their feet.

Damn smelly torque wearers!
