I still cannot decide what's the best course of action to take to make braids.
I have thought up of different ways and I need some advice and opinions on them.
1. Go for braid rewards at rafting.
- Easy to get at the first and third bend.
- Tricky at 2nd bend.
- Wastes a lot of mana pots
2. Go for the thick/thin threads at rafting with several characters
- Needs ego weapon/a lot of pets.
- Glitch to be fixed in G13S2 so I cannot use it forever
3. Go for the thick/thin threads at hot air balloon with several characters.
- I suck at range (only AR and no magnum)
- Wyverns are annoying
- Flint and balloons cost money
4. Do it the traditional way - get thins from spiders and thicks from sheep
- Extremely time consuming
- Have to stick sheep and make spider farms
- Gathering knife problem
5. Spam Pierrick's part-time job for thicks with multiple accounts and thins from spiders
- You might not get the part time job that give thicks.
- Getting a PTJ that requires wood will defeat the purpose.
- Spider farms are still annoying.
Or are there any other ways I can consider for this?

I normally do #3
but I only attempt to when its raining so I can rush to raspa and have my little sister mine for flint for me.. she thinks its fun ;)
I don't think the balloons are THAT expensive. |:
and yes Wyverns are annoying indeed.

You can always mine Zardine hot rocks for Flint in every raining occasion if money's a problem.
I think the PTJ one is the safe way to go since the G13 thing.

Seems that pierrick's part-time job is very unreliable. It has a whole range of jobs and rewards. Though it gives an easy 30+ (6 stacks) of thick thread in 36 minutes. This is not something that I want to spam though.
I've looked into rafting, seems that I only have sufficient time to do it with 2 accounts if I'm specifically going after thick/thin threads (3 is very risky, boat sends me back almost immediately when I claim rewards).
By current rate of sheep shearing I think I can make about 54 (10 stacks) of thick threads in 36 mins. If I have to really raft, I could get 30 braids in 36 mins but that would have a very high mana cost which is not something that I want to deal with. Both are comparable but I'm looking at more ways to get thick thread if possible.
So most of the options use up about the same amount of time and resources to get x number of braids. I really want to find a way to increase x for the same number of time but I'm stuck. I have thought of some other ways but I don't have enough resources at hand to carry out those ideas.
