Economy's a lot more balanced right now than it was at 50 cap, IMO. Costs are fairly low because almost everything needed can be reliably self-farmed (along with most people that were active throughout 50 cap having amassed like 500+ quality altheum and 50+ of every epic spark beforehand), and Jellies actually DROPPED in price for some reason.
But it's also not like 50 cap where 95% of items were worth less than 100g while the other 5% was in the outrageous 10k+ range. 60 cap blue mat drop rate (for nest set epic gear) is low enough that you can still make plenty of profit on them, like mid-40 cap prices. Suffix crafting mats from 50-60 regular dungeons also drop randomly across all of those dungeons now, and they don't drop from Chaos Rift Padma. In theory, there won't be a situation where stuff like Feather Decorations are only worth 10g because of everyone power leveling in the dungeon that drops it, and Worn Cogwheels going for 200g each because the dungeon associated with it is a pain.
The passes to enter 60 cap nests have been combined into one for both nests, and they drop from abyss bunnies at like a 50% rate. If you have the patience to farm these keys, you can make quite a lot of money.
Nowadays, you lose the most gold by being unlucky at enhancing while using jellies.
As about gear, if you're trying to level, you'll probably need about 80k+ HP to survive Master mode on the 50-60 dungeons on average, and maybe about 5k+ attack to clear them in a decent amount of time depending on your class. Engineer/Shooting Stars or Gear Masters are probably the fastest dungeon clearers regardless of gear, while Lunar Knights are heavily dependent on crit and Screamers are heavily dependent on dark attack accessories.
