I just hit lvl 60 goldsmithing afew weeks ago but ive been
trying to decided rather to take it to 100 or take something else? Can someone help me on what would be a good profiting craft would be or should i keep going up with Goldsmithing ive saved all my platinum ingots/ores/coins for this aswell have my brothers bone to help me to get past afew areas. Aswell i got my smithing to help with goldsmithing on some higher areas to just need to work on alchmy. Ive looked into doing Leather or Cloth to 100 if not Goldsmithing could you tell me what would probably be better craft to take up? thx!

Cooking or Alchemy are going to be your best bets for profit.. You don't make the high dollar items, but there's always a steady market on both..

Cooking can also be pretty damn cheap to get to 100 if you take your time to plan your route. I think I got to 50 on like 20-30k, there's plenty of synths to skill up on where you can buy the mats from NPCs for dirt cheap, then NPC the crafted items for minor to no loss at all, and sometimes even profits (albeit extremely small).

As well as Clothcraft 98 I have a low 70s Goldsmith and a mid 80s Alchemist.

Gold Costs bunches in the 70s.

Clothcraft makes Gil leveling on Rainbow Thread/cloth/velvet. Once that is over, it looses Gil again but nothing like the Gold Hell of Goldsmithing 70s.

Both crafts have some consumables but mostly profit off HQ durable good synthing.

If you go the Goldsmithing route grow Platinum Nuggets.

I am looking strongly into Bonecraft as the next post 60 craft.

Best crafting combination is the fisherman who has cooking leveled - nothing in the game beats the profit margin.
