Selling gathering stuff

[Passero]

I am wondering, I gather lots of stuff while leveling up my gathering class and notice all of the stuff so far sells for 1 gil.
I haven't looked at an auction house or something but I am wondering, should I keep those gathered stuff in case I want to level up any crafting class?
Or should I sell them to a random shop or should I place them on an auction house?

So far I am level 14 botanist so still a long way to go... I am planning on going for mining and fishing as well so i will gather lots of stuff :P

In general I would adivse you to keep the stuff, if you really want to level up your crafters (which you probably want to do).
BUT! Sometimes you'll find stuff that you really want to sell. Certain fishes i.e. are worth several thousand gil (depending on server etc.). Other stuff sometimes fetches a nice amount of gil, too.
In the end you'll have to take a look at the market board and check the current prices but it's totally worth it ;)

Dump it in your retainer's inventory if you need to. Some of us have separate retainers for fish, flora and rocks.

Off-paw, I'd keep the HQ stuff and check the sale history. Prices fluctuate a great deal and something worth 1 gil might be worth 1k the following week... and vice versa.

On the other paw, even if it might seem slower... but as long as you have a single class at max level [thereby giving all your other classes a +50% boost to xp gain], you can level crafting and gathering classes evenly. Sure, you'll have to store much more stuff and do more research... but that's part of the "fun", ins't it?

Oh and not to forget one's tail... check the free company missions / quests. Those items are from a list of items, so you can make bank by remembering that. Either sell them or turn it in yourself.

PS There are a bunch of quests and missions that help you level your non-combat classes. Look them up and save a lot of time.

good way to makegil selling crafting items ,i readed somwhere its best to sell things in a stack of 20 not everyone likes to buy item of a stack of 99

If you are looking to make money early on crafting is solid HQ low lvl stuff can still sell for a nice amount since people either don't craft or are too lazy/too many mats to buy etc....

If you gather check the market board to see what is selling though in a lot of cases some mats just arent worth a thing, some can be bought from NPCs as well. Might have to just gather early on for just exp.
