| The other day I finished raising a little over 2 million gil...I finally have just enough for the Wind Torque I've always dreamed about owning.
Though, as great as the Wind Torque is purported to be, I still don't want to blow everything on just one item...I worked WAY too hard and made too many sacrifices to raise the gil that I have now.
So, I decided that the best route to take was to invest my gil in Goldsmithing, in an attempt to get it high enough so that I'll start up a decent flow of income for myself, eventually earning enough to comfortably purchase a Torque and whatever else I needed.
Looking at the posts in this thread, however, I now have my doubts about my plan. I knew that Goldsmithing was an expensive business to break into...but good lord...you can lose as much as 800K just to get your level into the 40's? And I'd imagine that things will only get more expensive from there...and I now seriously doubt that 2 million will be enough to even get me into the 60's.
I need advice...is it still wise to invest my hard earned gil into raising my Goldsmithing skill? It would be most discouraging if I were to raise my skill into the 50's, having almost nothing left, and still be making huge net losses. |
