I can't, but fortunately, many many others can. I rely upon dozens, if not hundreds, of individuals to provide ore for my hungry smithing machine(as do most of the other regular blacksmiths)
On the plus side, I'm finding that various mythril and darksteel weapons in Jeuno sell nicely. I made some mythril scythes and a darksteel axe that sold well, and I'm selling darksteel ingots by the stack there, now(sheets sell by the stack, but chains do not, at least not on Midgardsormr). There is some reliable profit potential there, though it's nothing shocking. It's not bad considering that I buy all my components off the AH, toss them together, and then sell the result. The trick is to make only one per day, and make a number of different items, rather than to make a large number of the same item over and over. That way you preserve the value of each individual item on the AH.
edit: sadly, some folks did not sell mythril scythes and darksteel axes in moderation on Midgardsormor. Both sell for very little profit now. |
