Mageo is incorrect.

If you want to make the status arrows all by yourself from scratch, you will need a lvl 14 Smithing skill in order to make the status boltheads as well as a fairly high Alchemy skill for some of the status bolts and materials. The two most commonly used status bolts, Acid and Holy, require a lvl 45 and 53 Alchemy skill respectively, as well as a lvl 14 Smithing skill.

To make the bolts, any bolts I believe, with just the materials, then you only need a Woodworking skill of 16.

Different sub skills come into effect for what you want to do.

If you want to go into consumables, then you don't really need another subcraft unless you want to craft the ingredients yourself.

If weapons, then Smithing and Goldsmithing.

If furniture, then Goldsmithing and Weaving.

There are some offhand gil synths that you can do that require Leatherworking or Bonecraft, but as I said those are the offhand gil synths and you're asking which subcraft will get you the most, and I just don't know if you want to lock yourself into 1 or 2 synths.

Keep in mind that if you go for the weapon gil synths, then 99% of the time only the HQ synth will net you any real profit because the HQ bows have alot more +stats on them. Few people who are serious about ranged weapons buy anything other than the +1s.

You don't need any subskills for most of the things I would be expecting you to make for profit. For the rest... If I was going into Woodworking I'd go into furniture and the mogsafe quest beds for my other gil synths, so I'd lvl Weaving and Goldsmithing myself.

You'll have to look into it, but you might want to consider getting some of the Woodworking Key Items over leveling a subcraft first. Lumberjack should be usefull, and some of the enchanted wood items may be worth some big gil synths, might not, but take a look into it.
