I downloaded CrystalDiskInfo and the health status of the hard disk is good . I pasted the output <| sep |> Pew research center listed fearfulness of one ' s opposing party at about 50 % so all those people who condemned the people for hating on Obama the same way don ' t see the irony . As for Trump and Hillary , The media gave Trump free press and Hillary is a career politician so it ' s not surprising . <| sep |> I can sell a stack of Noble Sage for ~ 600 k . While I do have to hit the node 7 times over roughly a total 8 hour period to do that , it doesn ' t take much work to walk to the node an hour before it respawns , run a dungeon or some PotD between nodes , etc . However , you need a fairly massive time investment to get the Folklore book required for this , and you need some decent gear to actually gather it I have Ironworks geartools with a bunch of random Gathering 4 s smashed into it . Gem Marimo and Retribution Staff from Diadem sell for 30 ~ 40 k a pop though they move at a strange rate on my server at least . As for other things without Folklore books , you can always trade in your soul for Camphorwood Branches . They have a ceiling of around 2 . 1 k each due to a vendor , but the amount that is needed for recipes and the slightly annoying mobs around the nodes means that people would often rather buy these . Been a while so I don ' t know how much that makes per hour , but it ' s probably more than enough to fund leveling crafters . Most of the value will be in being able to gather your own mats when you need to when it turns out they are randomly expensive . You can also gather your own items to make the intermediate components like Teak Lumber once you have your crafters leveled . However a lot of those don ' t have much better margins than just buying the mats and finishing the craft yourself . Closer to the patch day you could have made a killing , but the high income ship has mostly sailed . Having them finished now makes it easier to level in Stormblood to try to be on the bleeding edge at least .
