First you about a 500gil drop.

Then

Urat about a 7,000 gil drop.

Rhetorical question, I know, just thought I'd answer anyway.

A stack of 12 Demon Quivers dropped by 12k between the time i bought the mats and the time i could be assed to synth and list them, /whine.

This.

In happens all the time. If you rely on one item to make gil, you are setting yourself up. Take Shinobi-tabi for instance. One week it can sell for 8-10k, the very next week it can drop to 4k. If I relied solely on that synth to make gil, I would've quit a long time ago. Role with the punches.


ADAPT
 
I bought Ix cape for 3.7 mil just so it dropped to 2.5 mil in 2 weeks.

1.2 mil is nothing to crafters, but I try not to whine...

*sadface*. No one saw that.
 
I bought Noble's Tunic for 9 mil. it's not worthless. Bite me.
 
On topic,

That's how the market works for ya.
Supply and demand, and if supply exceeds demand prices will drop.
If you want a steady fish market go into moat carping, those prices have been the same for about 3 or 4 years now.

So effort makes it a real craft? By "real craft" I mean something that gives substantial gil for time spent. I've never met anyone who got rich through fishing: if it is, it's a poor excuse for one.

I wanted to tell you to kiss my sunburnt Aussie ass when I read that.

How many people do you know that fish on a regular basis and do you have any idea how much gil they actually make? I can tell you it has managed to make me a very comfortable income for a good few years now. It helped pay for erase back when it was worth a small fortune not to mention R2 or 3 (I cant remember which one cost the big dollars) 11 mil Nobles and so on.

BigD and I once had a discussion on which of us was making the most gil in a given time period. He was farming and I was target fishing Black sole I think we came out about even.
 
I bought my SH for about 11 mil back in the day... I cryed when I came back to the game and it was like 200k
 
I would say fishing is the most profit "if" you can stand it....

2nd most the fisherman are machines that run everyday for 200 fish log out and log in, do the same thing every day, you seriously think that person cares if he sells his squid for 2500 or 2000? Essentially free gil.
 
Personally, no, I dont consider fishing a craft. Cause craft means to make something no? You're not exactly assembling fish are you? o.o;

If your definition of a craft is making money, then wouldn't chocobo digging, racing, logging, mining, clamming, gardening, etc all be crafts too?

Didn't think so =P

So really, the way I separate the crafts from the hobbies is whether or not it uses a crystal. Simple enough.

As to the people the consider fishing easy because it's "cheap" and "easy"...

Try taking down a legendary like lik, gugra, or matsya. Beats the living hell out of synthing a HQ cursed crown any day.

And if you think it doesn't make money? Go take a look at the prices of liks on the ah. they cost about 300-400 gil to catch, and sell for 20-25K. Each.

1) It has it's own guild

2) You get skill ups and achieve rank

3) You have access to slight level increase support

4) You turn in requested items daily for points to buy gear/items from guild


That's called a craft. All those other things you listed have none of those features. Maybe in your mind if it doesn't involve a crystal its not a craft. It's easily the hardest craft in the game. The only one any monkey can't just throw gil and get 60 levels in a day.
