I'm sure that its been asked many times... However, I was wondering from those who are crafting guru's, which crafts tend to generate the most coin profits? I understand that all crafts can make good profits, especially if you get all supply's yourself. I have started Sage on my necromancer, but that is mainly for my characters benefit for spells. I have made a designated ALT, just for profit crafting. I was thinking about Jewelery, as it has the ability to supply gear for ALL classes. Please share your thoughts, expericences, etc! I'd like experienced crafters opinions, before I choose! Thanks in advance~!

I would say any craft that makes any of the popular items. Armoror and weaponsmith I would say. Thing about tailors is leather/cloth armor classes don't really HAVE to max there mitigatio out like the heavy armor wearers do. You can bet when a tank hits lvl 40 they want ebon and when a tank hits 50 they want cobalt, its just the way the game has gone. At any time a armorer can usually make more money for 1 piece of armor then I can as a provisoner making a stack of food/water.

Its not uncommon to get paid 10 to 15 gold for a piece of ebon or cobalt armor AND have the rare supplied to you as where as a provisioner I get about 1 maybe 2 gold for a 3 hour drink. And to make that 3 hour drink I have to get a peach and refine it into juice then refine corn into malt then turn malt into milk then combine malt milk and peach juice together. Basicalyl it akes just about as much work to make that as it does to make a ebon piece of armor, only difference is you have to use alt skills to make armor. However once again 10 gold for 1 piece of armor, or MAYBE 2 gold for a peach drink.

And I see armorers sale ebon and cobalt armor on broker for ALOT more then just the price of rare plus labor. I mean Ebon generally goes for around 70 to 80 gold each yet to buy a piece of ebon armor on broker its uaulyl 1pp 50 gold.

This is an unfair example because you are comparing profit on a rare item (which is determined by the inclusion of the rare) with a common drink.If you used a common piece of armor in your example you would most likely end up with the drink being worth more than the armor. With a common piece of armor, you'd be lucky to make a gold profit if you could sell it at all!

I'll have to agree with Rahmae here.

When the fracking SOB's decided to change the whole crafting system, removing all subcombines, they really messed up!

I'm currently trying to level a carpenter at great expense, but I AM cinsidering giving up.
The "common" raws are becomming rare, and the profit is something like 12 silver pr. hour, if you provide the raws for yourself.

Edit: Lately my crafted carpenter stuff has actually been selling, I dunno why. Still: They don't sell for half the value of the raws on the broker's.

With the advent of the Diety system, there is now a way to get something for all the ordinary items you have to grind, but that won't sell on the broker. Sacrifice them to your diety!
