Is this a smart way of getting money?
 

Okay, first buy alchemy stones. Then use your composition skill and make them better, then sell them to NPC's. Smart?

Go sapping in AEW.

No, cause stones cost fame, not money remember?

If ya can't handle teh shiz in AEW, stay in Uruga~

No. You lose money when you both Decompose and Compose and sell the products to the NPC.

Decompose can make you money if you decompose something that people are paying a lot for like SBL or something.

Hard to make money Composing unless... maybe someone wanted stuff like Intact Bones or maybe HQ BD? I dunno. I don't know the numbers for those things so I can't tell you if that would make you money or not.

What Ralath said. Gonna pull numbers out of the air for this example. It takes 16 summoned beast leather LQ to comp up 1 SBL Reg. You could sell the LQ for 5 coppers each. This equates to 80 copper if you sold the LQ to the NPC. You can only sell the reg to the NPC for 60 copper. <--- may not be exact numbers, but it works out like that for all of them. Same for decomping. You can sell the reg. for 70 copper, but if you decomp 1, it decomps down to 14, this equates to 70. You lose copper no matter which way you go with it.

I'M NOT LEVEL 40!!!! OR WHATEVER LEVEL YOU HAVE TO BE FOR AEW!!!

Faster way is sapping... Uruga has many wood spots far from monster spawn spots, you can give it a try sometime. And hope for the best.

If you can't handle mobs in AEW, you'll die perhaps once every two or three minutes and annoy everyone who happens to be in the area...

Not much of a difference, just that AEW has Highest Quality Saps. And since you're a cleric, don't go there till 47. I think~
