Looking for good Goldsmithing Guide : FFXI General Discussions

I am new to this site but I've found some good/interesting info so far...

However, I haven't been able to find a good goldsmithing guide from 60-100+

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a guide or post one? It seems goldsmithers tend to hold info on leveling and money making close, but that's why I came here for help. I'm trying to minimize the amount of gil I waste but don't want to spend 5hrs per day mining. I have a list of all goldsmithing synths (lvl cap, ingredients, HQ, etc.), but instead of taking all day to check the AH and guilds for the costs of all possible synths I was hoping someone would enlighten me on what they made to lvl goldsmithing.

I'm currently lvl 55.3 and will probably be making (Hydro Claws > Mythril Cuisses > Hydro Patas)... from there I'm kinda stuck. Once again, I'm hoping to level with minimal loss. Hook me up peeps^^!

I have a really good one from an old LS site of mine, but I'll have to ask his permission first.... Might take a couple days

try googling, or allakazham. id suggest google, because i personally think allakazham is pretty much deviod of any intelligent disscussion, thoughts, or people, and is a shithole that sucks you in. furthermore, their servers should be nuked by North Korea immediatley.

Lmao, well, I am 100+3+3 goldsmithing my friend and I guess I can shed some lights on our secrets and stuff. I can 1 - 100 if asked, but since you only asked for 60 - 100 here it is:

60-62: Platinum Sheets
62-66: Platinum Earrings
66-70: Noble's Crown
70-73: Lvl 54 Rings of your choice
73-76: Morion / Phantom Earrings (Best to farm these items)
76-80: Iron Musketeer's Cuirass+1
80-86: Elemental Beads (This actually makes money)
86-88: Lord's Cuirass (HQ is worth alot)
or
86-90: Cursed Crown
90-94: lvl 72 Rings
Well from here you have a few options.
94-98: Cursed Cuirass (HQ Worth ALOT, I managed one, but kept, 75PLD)
94-100: lvl 74 Rings (If sale is more than materials)
94-100: Amood (If rings prices are too sketchy)


Tips at 100: Well after you get your apron, specs, mog house key item, and all your subs down, you're good to go. Basicly what you wanna do to start is every day looking for synths to do that make more money than the materials cost like 200k+ gain. And also on darksday new moon, make sure you have ALOT of synths to do, like spend all day darksday in bastok, like I do lvl 54 Rings alot, and lvl 67 earrings. I'm also a 75 PLD, and I made all of my Kaiser, which if you can get a buyer, sells back for alot, literally. Anyways if you ever find yourself strapped for gil or something, go back and HQ a few lvl 36 rings and sell those off and then start from where I said. Down here below are some of the things I do, even though there are alot more. Let me know if you want more items to make money with and what cateragory because there are tons. Also I can post 1-60 if anyone would like that too.
(Under 5M) ~ Minimal gil: lvl 14 rings, lvl 36 rings, lvl 74 rings (if good)
(5M - 30M) ~ Normal gil: lvl 54 rings, lvl 67 earrings
(100M+) ~ Alot of gil: Cursed gear -1, Kaiser Shield, Sha'ir Manateel


75 Paladin: Excalibur / Full Kaiser: [mine]
Goldsmithing: 100+3
Clothcraft: 60+1
Alchemy: 60+1
Smithing: 60+1
Leathercraft: 60+1
Bonecraft: 60+1
Woodworking: 60+1
Cooking: 60+1+3

I also have 100 Woodworking, Smithing, and Bonecraft, on other Chars.
If anyone needs guides in any of those either, I can help.

P.S.: Lemme know if this helps or not.

One very good guide:
