Okay guys, thought I might try my hand at being a disciple of the hand. All up, I am currently a
-Lvl 37 Dragoon
-Lvl 15 Murauder
-Lvl 27 weaver
-Lvl 15 goldsmith

I have just learned about hiring retainers and I am starting to sell a few things on the marketboard. I found materia is most likely to sell than anything, and I am selling all lvl 1 materia for 1000gil each. Do you have any tips besides shard farming that I could make a lot of gil from? How can I make a lot of gil from a weaver?
I'm also wondering how the hell im going to lvl.50 any other disciple of war class since it seems to me like the main story is the only reason I'm being carried to lvl.50 right now. After that, how do you lvl up DoW? Dont tell me its an endless fate grind...
