The gold you lose learning to craft is the tuition you pay for developing the skills. Unfortunately, you are coming to the game several years too late for crafting skills to be profitable. There was a time when player-crafted items were valued enough, and the skill to make them rare enough, for players to sell items they made for more than what it cost to craft them. The earliest crafters did very well. Over time more and more players gained enough skill for every item to be trivial and competition among them for customers kept driving prices lower and lower. Now there are so many crafters who can make every item, and who have more gold than they can use, that it's pretty easy to find someone willing to make anything for cost. On a good day you can even find players giving away crafted items for free just to open space on their mules. It's a good situation if you need items made but a consequence is that developing crafting skills now is a money loser. It's convenient to be able to make any item you want, and it adds some amusement value to the game, but you really just have to accept that at this point crafting is a net gold loser.
