COR and RNG are unique in that a lot of thier best gear is Rare/Exclusive, which goes a long way in helping you keep gil reserved for ammo. NIN, THF and BST expenses could be considered more minor by contrast, but a lot of thier good gear is crafted and that gets them a little more expense on armor and weapons than COR and RNG, so they can get up there too. |
A typical THF really doesn't burn through so much consumables to warren comparisons with NIN, I think; the differences between my THF42 and NIN41 was pretty dramatic.
Also, BST is pretty much self-paying to play if soloing or duo'ing thanks to being able to keep half/all of the drops; everyone I know who has a high level BST also has multiple stacks of Kindred and Beastmen seals, to boot. Plus, BST players can often choose to farm EPs for drops and still make minor progress on leveling. Like any job, it has its expensive items, but with a little planning it shouldn't be difficult to have the gil ready for those must-have gears when one hit the levels.
Honestly, I've never heard of any BST having trouble paying for pet food and (reasonable) jug pets. Heck, they don't even need to use RR items much once Reraise becomes accessible from /WHM.
