You went up pretty fast...didnt you find a cheap recipe or are you just loaded on gil? >_> <_<

Barely leaving town + those 3 HQ cursed items I made, which sold for 25m, 30m, 25m is how I finished up so fast. I had plenty of money and the determination to finish it up asap.
 
Weaponslayer is 93
Babbs is close I'm sure
Bellia is over 97 I'm pretty sure
Dellionhart was around 95, dunno if that account was deleted or not.

I lack determination to finish GS. And the fact I don't feel like losing money on a path that should be break even or profit if done slowly.

taking it slow or fast, it has no effect on how many you break- which is the only way to lose money on it. Doing 1 ring a week, or however youre doing it doesnt ensure that you break even. By the time you get to 100, you will have lost the same amount of money as me, give or take some based on luck. Also, Id like to point out, breaking a synth then waiting until you make the money back =/= break even. You still lost that money. No amount of farming or whatever will bring it back. You are simply converting your time into gil, so you are still losing the time to make the gil back... and time=money.
 
I -think- he means watch the economy.. buy when materials are cheaper and wait till the items hit a high point to sell them.
 
Nice Dracoden.. you are officially Hawt!

The items we're talking about dont fluctuate much. Maybe 100k, 200k at most. Its a big opportunity cost to wait until ingots become flooded, only buy a couple for 100k less, then wait until rings are understocked and jack up the price an extra 100k or so, wait an extra day or 2 for it to sell, then do it all over again- all for a measly ~200k profit.

I was willing to take a 100k hit- giving you, the consumers, a better deal in order finish up sooner so I can move on and be done with it. Why? because i can D:
 
Actually I was making 300-400k profit per ring until you went on your powerlevelling spree... and now look less then 24hrs after your done and over 10 Ingots on AH when before it was lucky to see 2-3. I bet you I will come out of this with substantial profit, just like I managed to lose 60M less then you getting to 95 in the first place.
 
oh well

I still win ffxi ;)

ps, just HQ'd 3/8 morion earrings ^^ anyone need? D:

i think i'm with deci on this one, i'd rather not lose 60M and be 5 levels behind than say "i win ffxi" cuz you leveled one craft to 100.

congrats however.

I think he is exaggerating a bit. I did lose a bit more perhaps, but not 60m more. One of us surely has miscalculated.. I didnt exactly write down my losses from start to finish :/

anyways, even if I did lose more, I also made a hell of a lot more too.

4 HQ cursed items, Koenig headx2, hands, and zenith crown
9 total HQ triumph earrings
5 total morion earrings
1 phantom earring
some other random crap im sure.. but those are the big items

so.. my success is what afforded me to go leeroy on gold.. maybe not the smartest move, but its what I wanted to do. I enjoy goldsmithing.
 
Im not exaggerating, you said you lost around 120M to 95 in another thread. I have written down all my losses from skilling up since Lv1 and was at -57,130,000 at Lv95. We aren't talking about profit synths.
 
it was only a speculation. I have not written down all my losses lol. To be honest, I dont want to know either. xD Im just glad its done with.
