Right now I am stuck at 52.2 goldsmithing. It seems like any rout I go I will loose about 8k gil per combine for skillup combines. I can not really make a decient profit about anything. If anyone has any tips maybe, could you please send me privite messages or something?

My tip: Skill up slowly on stuff you won't lose much on(or maybe profit a little) for a few days and build up a gil supply while you wait for those items to sell. Then dump that gil into stuff like mythril cuisses or hydro claws and sell the results to merchants to recycle a bit of your gil - it pays off and you'll be glad you didn't keep mass producing the slow selling stuff in the end.
As an example, I could skill up on platinum ingots if I wanted and make a slight profit, but that's risking 36k per combine and having to wait multiple days on an already flooded market for them to sell; or I could farm gil for a few hours and gain half a point to an entire point. I went from 54 to 57(currrently) making a combination of hydro claws and mythril cuisses over a period of 4 days. Prior to that I tried skilling up on gold ingots and actually regret it now, as it took me over a week to get 3 skill points out of that.
Unfortunately the items that are easiest to produce will cost you a lot to skill up on, and it looks like it will stay that way, but you'll at least skill up much faster. Hope that wasn't too confusing.

Thank you very much for your information. Thats what I was thinking about doing also. Right now I am thinking about doing Heather shields though since Mythril Cruisses cap out at 61 skill so I think I will not get much skill out of them (Might test them out a bit first). I can't find where the Hydro claws are on any web page though. What is the combo and what skill does it cap out at if you would please?
Also do you know how much that stuff sells back to the vendors for? Is it a pretty decient rate or do you loose quite a bit of Gil in the process of doing so?Comment

Hydro claws were just added last patch, I believe them to be somewhere in the 58-59 area for skill cap.
Fire Crystal: Claws(level 30 hand to hand item), Animal Glue, Mythril Sheet
They sell back to the merchant for over 3k, so if you farm mythril beastcoins or mine the ore, you'll end up just about breaking even.
Also if you're working up smithing as well, you can make the claws yourself(they're in pretty short supply on leviathan, I had a smithing friend make them for me):
Fire Crystal: Steel Ingot, Beetle Jaw - skill cap of 32.
Just as an fyi, I'd actually ignore mythril cuisses alltogether, I tried skilling up on them and lost a good bit of money for very few skillups. Currently I plan on slowly skilling to 60 with gold rings then I'll toss a bit more money into something like Mythril Gauntlets or maybe Platinum Ingots.Comment

My web page says that those claws require some bonecrafting also. Any idea of what skill of bonecrafting is required?Comment
