| Re: How long would it take to take goldsmith to 40? Ok - firstly I'd like to apologise to the readers of this thread for indulging in petty and childish arguements. There will always be people who accuse others of things and always others who will inply just as much. Having been accused of various misdemeanors not limited to gilbuying by a number of people - gets my back up, but - alas, there will always be richer/poorer/smarter or less intelligent souls... comparing myself to them will only lead to envy or or snobbery.
In answer to the OP's question: Yes - getting to 40 Goldsmithing in a day is entirely possible within a 24 hour period. However - it requires a large initial investment, that if you invest as hard cash, you will be labelled as a gil buyer by a large number of people. Skilling up fast is a truth that is easily acheivable - you can label me as a moron, or gil buyer if you like - it's not the first time and I highly doubt it will be the last (I'm neither - but say it if it helps).
Ultimately - if you sell everything you craft at profit/break even, you'll net a return on your investment if you're smart (albeit not in the first few moments after a synthing session - it takes hours/days to sell stuff). You won't sell everything five minutes after you've listed it though, then again to enforce such stupid limits on crafting is contrary to everything a good crafter will learn while skilling up. Patience and market watching is a virtue. Sometimes you'll learn to appreciate when to hold back an item and wait out shifts in the market. That's something that comes with levelling up crafts though. Again - this is a truth.
If you have a nest egg you'd like to invest - it would not be an unwise idea to do so in a craft.
