You don't really make money off leveling or meriting. Most merits spots are frequently used so any drops that come from them will be heavily flooded on the ah and therefore not worth much.One example with this would be the turtles in gustav tunnel.They drop adaman ore which was significantly higher pricing on retail , but ease of access and a semi common merit spot has spiked the value on these.One exception to this would be buffalos in uleugrand range.Merit spots there are fairly rare so you can still some money meriting there.
The only other way your going to directly make money meriting with be through signet and sanction.Always have one of these on and after time you can buy items with them and sell them on the ah.One item I frequently sale since I have surplus of CP at this point would be royal knights breeches. 24kcp ~ 80k , obviously farming 24k cp (240,000xp or 24 merits) is going to take a lot longer then just farming the gil.
Getting 75 however will increase your money making opportunities 10 fold tho. Join a proper endgame/high lvl shell then you can have access to new money making opportunities such as HNM,sky, limbus , ksnm ,ownm , more bcnm , higher lvl nm's , higher lvl farming spots , when u can farm 100k+/hr its certainly much less tedious.
Hope this answered your question
I agree with everything stated here. Was just trying to think of the best option for original question. Money just seems to flow by doing end game content as a 75
