really your best bet is to click recipes and look for 1 you can do very well. you'll have to do your own research on your own.

i'd recommend this one but homework is your buisness and the market on fairy could be very different then on the other servers.

wind crystal - istridye
hq product : pearls and black pearls
you can still make gil on this buying all your fish on ah but if you have the fishing skill you'll cut out the middle men.

How about just buying 7 stacks of silk thread in windy weavers guild and just selling them in jeuno for a profit.. that is a very old trick. but my my the money never stops rolling in from that one.

anyone with a sword can kill rabbits.. farming is so 2003.

the moving buisness is where its at.
a blacksmith of modest skill can turn ingots into sheets and cart them to jeuno for money.

I'd keep those 2 crafts at 60 and work on other things.

bonecrafting -(arrows is a dead market. Campaign Chests supply rangers with all the arrows they will ever need.)

leathercrafting - requires heavy hides (behamoth hides and such to produce the big ticket items) can your bank withstand breakages of 2 behamoth hides on a synth or worse.

until your crafting can outplay the profits of selling npc goods to players.. I'd focus on other things in the game.

gardening elemental ores, fishing, experience pointing.. whatever you do.. dont shatter crystals all day..

What do you mean for like skilling up right now? Or in general to see which one you wanna take up or something? And yeah being highly server driven it's best to look throw the recipes function to see what is what. Also keep in mind ingredients that are cheaper from npcs. Mostly for profit I look for what sells decently quickly and then determine if I can make a profit off of it. For skillups often for the cheapest synth/ greatest npc price. Trumpet rings are awesome for that

once your leather is 60, can do both dhalmel and tiger leather. dont buy from guild, but you can buy from AH, synth into leather then sell on AH for a good profit.

also dont forget the ever popular sheep leather! can buy the skins from guild and sell stacks of leather for around 10k, thats about 8k in profit per stack. for this highly reccommend key item tanning.

The lizards trick isn't really a craft, but not bad for making gil.

The Istridye (or Shall Shell) works wonders. My Bonecraft mule makes a decent turn of gil whenever I get done fishing with my main. Turn around and sell the pearls to an NPC or drop them on the AH.

If you have fishing leveled, Trumpet Shells aren't bad either, but they can be a pain in the *** to bring in.

Leathercraft has some cool synths, the sheep, ram, dhalmel, and tiger being all good turns of 10k+ a stack. With bonecrafting sub, you can make ram horns into hairpins and sell for almost 1k each, as well as farming sheep in between pops.

Scorpion arrowheads into arrows, and scorpion shells into rings make some cash, as well as demon arrows (need a woodworking mule or friend for that one)

If you get all of your crafts to 60, you can basically find a small niche to dig yourself into for just about any of them.
