Making money in regards to crafting?

[Mikey]

Can someone point me to a guide or tell me how I can make money with crafting? I'm in Fort Joy, but, I just want a general idea of what I can craft from early game to late game to make dosh.

(and yes, I know that stealing is an option to make crap ton of cash, but I need something more sustainable and not a once off ordeal)

collect knives and make knife on a stick for example, it will scale with ur level and will cost more than used ingridients. Same with other white armors and weapons

maybe arrow crafting is good for this purposes too

my advice can be used only after fort joy (reach the reaper's coast) : you can create charming arrowhead with honey and a arrowhead BUT the thing is after the combination you KEEP the honey pot, which mean you can use a beehive to refill this honey pot and recreate infinite charming arrow (until you run out of arrow-head)

Noting on this, visit the crafting materials vendors often and buy all arrow heads and shafts every time you see them. You'll invest only 60-70 gold per 10 of each and can easily accumulate 100 or so by act two. It will cost you about 600-700 gold in act one, but making charm arrows with all of that can net you 3-4k+ with good bartering. Hold off on selling them until halfway through act two to maximize your potential profits from extra civil points and gear.

Early on, Nebora will often sell rocks, sticks and needles and threads. Needle and thread combine to make a single needle-and-thread item that combines with leather scraps (animal hide+knife) to make a tailored leather armor. It will sell for more than the raws. Long branches and shells make staffs, short sticks and bowstring/skulls make bows and wands. Cooking meat based items into dinners often increases their value slightly as well. Generally, most any crafting type item that costs you only 2-3 gold is worth buying every time. Especially wood and stone/metal scrap for arrows.
