WIP: Will be adding additional information, profiles and such as i work on them. Since i wrote this much ill post what i have. I'm hoping this is the best place for this little guide of mine.
This will only be helpful to people lost about crafting and those that want to do it extremely lazily. So i've leveled quite a few crafting classes and what not and i felt like i should share some experience with those that are new to crafting and are using the bot. Hopefully to help you stream line how you level up. Most of this will be from theory as i havent put this into practice and will only recount experience into this little guide.
Making Gil
Here you want to make gil from your classes. While im not the best i can give a basic idea of where to start and how to get into the market of making gil from gathering and crafting.
There are several ways of varying success to make gil in FFXIV.
1. Sell materials you gather or obtain in some way through means of combat/airship etc.
2. Sell items that you have crafted.
3. Lastly and most difficult is to sell content by means of taking another player into a difficult fight and they are paying you for the clear/farm to obtain titles or gear.
PSA: List items 1 gil under the lowest reasonable price on market board. If the item cost 25,000 each then 24,999 is fine. If the lowest is 8,000 and there is 1 of it and the next highest is 30,000 then you may get away with listing your item higher than 8,000 and less than 30,000.
Out of those selling gathered items requires the least amount of work and can provide you a fairly profittable income if you read the market correctly and list what is in need/will sell.
Crafting requires you to either buy items from the market board and then sell the crafted item at a slightly increased price to make profit or you use your own materials for increased profits from selling said item. I personally use my bots to pregather the most popular materials i used and had large amounts in stock to always have 95-100% profit on crafts. Coupled with taking orders in PF for gathering you can make a good amount. Selling through PF is the fastest way to make gil. Selling through the market board can be slower in some instances depending on demand of the item. Treat lesser desired materials and items as passive income so that you will make gil every now and then with those sold. Hot items might sell out daily or every other day. Those might bring you lots of income during active periods in the game.
Key note is to not be excessive in quanity of items. Try to be reasonable with the amount you say you can obtain and give a realistic time, don't tell your customers you gathered an inhuman amount of items overnight xD. Also no need to list 10 stacks of 99 items at half price on market board, its silly and will over a long period of time reduce profits.
1a(Gathering) - Check the market board for cost of items, if you like the cost or the cost per item is over 1k then check the history of the item at the top right. If it sells daily or every other day in a avg to decent quanity then you should invest some time to farm some of that item to list. Unspoiled items that you gather hourly or every half hour sell well as well. So do the same on those to check whether any are worth selling. Once you feel confident of your gathering or you already are confident. Make some PF advertising you willing to gather items for other players.
Check the market board for the price to see whats a reasonable offer to sell directly to them. Personal transactions forgoing market board usually sell for cheaper so keep that in mind.

Recommended blue scrips to grind is Alchemist's Book of Aurum Regis and/or Noble's Picatrix. Recommend it for the mats being unlimited in quanity to gather, easily able to get enough to complete your master books in a day with some light work.
Leveling
Let the bot level your gathering classes to 60 to obtain materials from grinding, you will want to grind your own materials with bot because it will be more cost effecient and while doing so afk. Sure there is some ways that are faster but this is meant to be very easy and lazy. If you want faster then craft diff items to increase exp gain.
Personally unable to test the values of all these numbers. User feedback is welcome. If you give you an accurate number of items you used for the ones I suggested and whether you had rested EXP then i can adjust the numerical values here. If the number is short and you dont reach the recommended level please let me know.
I'm not responsible for time lost or money spent on materials I suggested you use. It is up to your discretion to level this way.
