I think it's pure and utter BS that you have to have a craft at high levels to make money. I've made all my money crafting, and at higher levels it just comes faster.
Goldsmithing: Silver ingots sell for a chunk of profit, and so does mythril. Desynthing to make them brings better profit unless you get unlucky.
Smithing: Iron makes good money, ingots, sheets, scales, whatever (they might not sell that fast, but you can always make makibishi)
Leathercraft: Many of the leathers are profitable.
Clothcraft: Linen and Wool cloths bring in good money, and are a lot faster with Spindling key item
Woodworking: Arrows and Bolts, quiver them, and get the lumberjack keyitem
We're starting to get into crafts I haven't really levelled
Alchemy: Lot of bullets are being sold to corsairs, other than that, supersimian covered a lot.
Bonecraft: Carapace Powder sells to clothcrafters, other than that, I haven't gone far with bonecrafting
Cooking: beats me, it's at 0
All this might not come at high profit, but there's more profitable stuff as you get higher levelled. In my experience, making things that other people are going to turn around and craft with most of the time brings good money. Also, ninja tools generally sell for profit from my experiences.
*Maybe* your server just sucks with prices, but honestly, I highly doubt that everything I listed up there is a waste of money.
My mentality with crafting is that I use crafting to make money, not that I have to waste money to craft.
