I hit level 66 Goldsmithing as of yesterday, and needless to say, it was ridiculously expensive.

I used up 12 stacks of Platinum Ingots, which runs from 520-550k per stack (equivalent to ~6.2-6.3 million). To get from 64-66, and I lost ~3 stacks during the process. That's right! That's how EXPENSIVE it is. And I'm looking at a whole inventory of Platinum earrings and Rings that WON"T sell. If you check the history, a few sells every 4-14 days. Only high level Goldsmithers will buy these, and I only know a handful that are level 90+ to 102.

I was planning on hitting 70 this week but that is 100% not going to happen. /sigh. Break these back into Ingot? Then I'm looking at a total lost of 6 million because I'll eventually lose all of them. This will be the equivalent of throwing 2 Haubert+1 away. Or 2 Royal Cloaks... /sigh.

I better start making money again.
 
Sounds to me as though Goldsmithing will never be more than a dream to me. I can't imagine dropping that much money on synthing for 2 lvl gains. :shock:
 
I hear you, I dropped Goldsmith at level 15 cause it was already getting too expensive for me.

Crafting is really more a passion then a money making thing, it is almost impossible to make money. But hey, you're 66 in GS, not a lot of people can say that! :)
 
Unless you have time and money to burn, it definitely sounds like you've gone far enough.

Good luck.
 
You can do it qq! =O

I still have to finish off cooking -.-... why? I don't even know haha.

100-1, haha. I think i'm somewhere between 99.2 or 99.3. Too lazy to farm royal jelly :?

I have 4 crafting character.
 
QQ, wouldn't one of the gold items from 69-72 be cheaper to make? I haven't gotten there yet, so I haven't price checked everything. I'm still stuck at 56 GS until I can get 1-2 mil gil for my 50-60 BRD equipment.

edit: scratch that... with the lowered price of nuggets and ores, it's actually cheaper to make plat ingots than gold ingots now. At least it was the last time I looked. Are you buying your ingots or making them?

Profit margin on kabobs is tiny, unless you farm your own meat, which IMO just isn't worth it.
 
QQ has been playing forever i belive, my friend who started after me imo, is now a level 75 paladin with 100 lv GS, and he says yes, it does get really broing at level 75.
