| This is the skill path I plan to take to 60.
Goldsmithing 1-3:
Copper Ingot - 4 Copper Ore + Fire Crystal
Easy to do and very cheap.
Goldsmithing 3-9:
Brass Ingots - 3 Copper Ore + 1 Zinc Ore + 1 Fire Crystal
Relatively cheap and I can sell a couple stacks if I really need money.
Goldsmithing 9-11:
Brass Sheets - Brass Ingot + Fire Crystal
Same as Ingots, but I plan to save as much of these as I can.
Goldsmithing 11-14:
Brass Flowerpot - 3 Brass Sheets + Fire Crystal
I sold some of these and the rest I sent to mules to do some gardening on the side with them.
Cheaper Skillpath 11-14:
Brass Hairpins - Brass Ingot + Wind Crystal
Goldsmithing 14-18:
Silver Ingots - 4 Silver Beastcoins + Fire Crystal
I plan to steal them so this'll be slow. But they're not that expensive.
Goldsmithing 18-20:
Various Jewels - Colored rock + Wind Crystal
I'll be using these soon anyway so I figured I might as well skill on them. I plan to use the cheaper rocks or mine my own.
Goldsmithing 20-22:
Silver Earrings - 2 Silver Ingots + Wind Crystal
Will be using these as well ^^
Alternate skillpath 20-24:
Brass Hammer: Bronze Hammer + Brass Ingot + Fire Crystal
Goldsmithing 22-25:
Jeweled Earrings: Silver Earring + Jewel of choice + Earth Crystal
I'll be selling these to the NPC or on the AH/Bazaar. Preferably the latter if I can.
Goldsmithing 25-27:
Silver Hairpins: Silver Ingot + Wind Crystal
Fastest method. I'll probably put some on the AH and sell the rest to the NPC to prevent a flood of it's market.
Goldsmithing 27-31:
Silver Rings: 2 Silver Ingots + Fire Crystal
I'll use these to further gain skills.
Goldsmithing 31-35:
Jeweled Rings: Silver Ring + Jewel of choice + Earth Crystal
Goldsmithing 35-38:
Mythril Ingots: 4 Mythril Beastcoins + Fire Crystal
I plan to steal these as well but you can buy it for faster results. I'll be saving them if I can help it.
Goldsmithing 38-42:
Mythril Earrings: 2 Mythril Ingots + Wind Crystal
I'll be selling these on the AH/Bazaar but most likely to NPCs. The HQ jewels are too pricy and is just not worth making on my own just for skill-gains.
Goldsmithing 42-47:
Mythril Ring: 2 Mythril Ingots + Fire Crystal
Now you know why I wanted to save all those Mythril Ingots I made. I'll probably sell these to the NPC too.
Goldsmithing 47-52:
Mythril Degans: 2 Mythril Ingots + 1 Iron Ingot + Fire Crystal
Needs around level 20-30 smithing support but this is cheaper then throwing my money on Gold Ingots. But if I steal enough Gold Beastcoins, i'll probably turn those into Ingots till skill level 51.
Goldsmithing 52-53:
Gold Ingots: 4 Gold Ore + Fire Crystal
It's only for one skill level so I shouldn't lose too much.
Goldsmithing 53-58:
Spark Rapier: Mythril Ingot + Rapier + Earth Crystal
I'll sell all these to the NPC if they don't sell well on the AH. But I know i'll sell more then half to the NPC for sure so I don't flood the market.
Goldsmithing 58-60:
Mythril Cuisses: 2 Mythril Sheet + Ram Leather + Fire Crystal
I think this is cheaper then working with Gold Ingots. Of course, i'll use the Gold Ingots I have to make some Gold Rings to sell off. This can actually take you to skill 62 but since this isn't my main craft, i'm stopping at 60.
But before all this...i'm going to try to save up around a million gil. Hopefully I can power synth my way through half of the recipes to make up for the Beastcoins I go out to steal.  Craft skills:
Leathercraft: 91+1
Smithing: 54
Weaving: 60
Alchemy: 60
Bonecraft: 39
Woodworking: 47
Cooking: 41
Goldsmithing: 53
Fishing: 55
