Hope you flesh this out with some strategies and examples of making gil from crafting, and maybe go back over what you have so far and maybe rewrite it a bit because at the moment there isn't really any positive advice for people hoping to make gil from crafting, it is just coming across as a rant which is not really what the Wiki is for. Also if your not prepared to flesh it out with advice on how to make gil off crafting, maybe best to remove this article and repost in on a FFXI forum where personal opinion is welcomed.

It's still a work in progress - it's going to take upwards of a week, so keep checking back periodically. You do understand that a lot of what people write starts off as a rant and then gets polished right? It's part of what motivates them to get anything written in the 1rst place. Check back in a few days, it's already much different. IconicIdea
coming along nicely sir. the only thing I might add is a general disclaimer that certain crafts are-to put it charitably-dead. finding 7 products in them worth your time will be difficult because there are only 1 or 2 that fit your bill and all the people who skilled those crafts in the day when they WERE still worthwhile are locked in on those. also, the need to reevaluate those worthy products on a regular basis, not just due to a crash but due to emerging new products, etc. Considering your section on Choco digging I assume you may be adding a section on HELM, which does still have a use (and can get you some of those sparky things, too).
Generally liking the prose style so far. The one other thing I-personally, not a universal view-think you might want to emphasize a bit more is that $ is not a get rich quick, it's commitment, perseverance and above all PATIENCE. of course, I'm not really one to talk, I've been held back in most of my gaming progress due to not finding a steady source of income, especially since I stopped having to level beast/bard the old-fashioned way, when I always had drops to sell (and so neglected my crafting, too). Enjoying the guide so far though, keep it up and good luck sir, nice to see someone trying to help and with information that is current, too.--Deadmeataru (talk) 22:46, August 22, 2014 (UTC)
