Thus, I've seen searching for other recipies to skillup off. Somehow, I ended up in a conversation with my Goldsmithing partner-of-sorts, Nynaeve, and we got talking once again. She suggested I skillup on Gold Gauntlets, which, after looking at things, is a pretty good idea, since it's not all that lossy, I'm not help back by the AH like Ashuras, is a good four levels above me (I suspect my bad Ashura run was largely due to the fact that I'm only 0.6 away from cap).
It was somewhere in there that we made the following observation.
Look at the price of Gold Ingots on the Odin server as of two days ago (17th February):
Now, look at the price of Gold Earrings:
Can you believe it? An 80k profit a synth?? As I put it, "You know how much trouble this would've saved me if Gold Earrings were profit?! /fume" Up-and-coming Goldsmithers are having it easy, I'm guessing largely because there are quite a lot of Goldsmithers in the 70s, although that's just speculation. I really don't see how Gold Earrings can be profitable. >_<
Anyway, I've sold my gear, including my beloved Nobles Tunic, after talking to Nynaeve about it, and thinking a whole lot. Hopefully, the money I get from selling my Nobles, and my Blessed Set will be enough to make that final push to Goldsmithing 80. I'm sitting on 23 million gil right now, and if my calculations are right, that might _just_ get me to Goldsmithing 80. If it isn't enough money, then I have about 300 Beastman's Seals to help raise the money for that final push through.
Such is the plan.
Now to wait for a Darksday, New Moon. -_-
