pick another job 5-9 and raid Ghelsba Outpost for Fire Crystals and they sell 4-5k on my server or raid Saruburata(sp) and slaughter the crawlers for silk thread, 1 stack of 12 sells for ~20k. you can definately fund War to 30 and beyond, including mithkabobs doing that. then once you've gotten more established, then start crafting. you'll have some extra funds by then, that if you loose a synth, you won't go psyco for loosing all your gil on 1 synth.
I don't know much about smithing myself, but wind crys + 2 flint stones (goldsmithing), fire + copperx4(smithing?) or fire + copperx3 + tinx1(goldsmithing?), fire + beastcoinx4 (smithing)
the first ones you get for killing worms, beastcoins from beastmen (steal is best), kill appropriate creatures for crystals, you start working on your skills with almost 0 gil expenditure and can bring in quite a bit of gil, especially for starting out.
for a little pay, insane markup > wind + chocobofeather x2 (7gil ea)> 6 fletchings, do it 2x and sell stack in sandy for 1.5k gil. well, that works for valefor
