Question about job exp/profit

So I'm a lvl 64 hunter, what's the best way to make good money? I've sold pretty much everything on my storage to buy myself a SoS spear and now I have 2.4m left
If I escort let's say 1 guy whose convoy is 5* with another hunter, will I gain the same job exp as if I was the only hunter in the party?
Also, what is the best way to earn gold, being a hunter or a thief? I don't really like being a thief because I'm not quite lucky most of the time but if the profit is better I'll switch.
(I'll be staying at 64 for a loooong while as I'm farming all the sps I need unil level 81)
Thanks in advance

I wont say you can earn much money on any job, but i guess trader?
The profit isnt that big tho, but people job mostly to have fun.

if you job all week you can hit large amounts, 10mill+, im 52, i spend 1/7 days jobbing, usually makes me around 1mill pre bonus (i scout for L80 trades though)
i dont think the number of hunters per trader matters.

It depends on what you want to do.
Trader, you could run a 5 star, but you'd need Hunters, or do a ton of lower trades.
Also, A few times I've found 4 - 5 star trades on the ground and have made 200k+ off one trip. (thieving)
Trading takes more time, but I guess if you can handle it you are sure to get money.
Hunting, same thing if your a high level.
You just have to get lucky with thieving.

Well, if you can get hunters, then your profit would be high, assuming you're doing 4-5 Stars. My friend was doing 1 Star trades, using a Camel, and made ~200k profit per run.

I think you should just do SP farming rather than thinking how to earn money. As you do SP farm, you can gain gold + items from the monster, as well as D8 STR tablets.
I think this is the best way to earn money.
GRIND!!

Don't be so worried about your exp... Job for fun
If you need money, trader is nice, but you will always need a few hunters as a high lvl trader, which is why most people switch to hunter at 2nd or 3rd tier 8d.

you can do better than this in a couple days breaking down 2nd degree npc weapons and reselling the wind 2s in hotan. 20+ mill a week easy.
i had 20 mill before my first character reached lvl 20.

sometims, buy and sell works better than jobbing. but its pretty boring. and somehow, it works better the other way around,

Well, on a successful trade run I make about 1-2 mil profit. (Trader) The hunters get somewhere between 200-500k but that is not including the bonus they get at the end of the week.
If you are a very good hunter, your reward will be much bigger. I heard someone got 20mil from hunter bonus!
Good luck. (If you choose to hunt or trade)
Die Die Die (If you choose to thief)

Wen, ya nub. I make 500k always at least, its best to have 2-3 hunters per 5*. You get good exp that way, any more then that and you'll get crappy exp and money. Any less, and you wont even make it =P
I can make a mil easy with 2 5*s and 4-6 hunters. If not more. Depends on the level of the trader.
Plus dont forget your reward at end of week. ^^
