If you're having trouble crafting gear at any particular stage of the process, it's alright to use NQ vendor gear as long as you meet the base stat requirements laid out in the google doc. Materia melding goes a long way here! Always make sure you're saving the most gil in the process ;)
If you have significant spare Levequest allowance and access to the Crystarium, then I would recommend for Culinarian at 78 to make or buy HQ Coffee Biscuits for solid XP and gil instead. Just an idea on how to integrate the Coffee hustle.
Could you please show an example of using NQ vendor gear please? The highest I can achieve is only 403cp melding 1 slot on every piece of gear and tools. I assume it has something to do with overmelding and I have it unlocked yet still unclear how to go about using NQ gear.
I’ve been watching a lot of guides on crafting lately and this is the first one I understood all the way through! Gonna be sharing this with the FC tomorrow!
This guide is amazing! You are so right about strange wording, leveling crafting feels like one of those hidden secrets that is hidden because it's so obfuscated. Subbed and highly recommended!
@@nitemare3904 That will be hard to say because my experience is not the norm.. I had 2.5 mil before I started. I had about 400k after I was done. I borrowed 10 mil from the FC bank. We also had quite a lot of Diemdem materials and crystals stored in the bank that I have been replacing for new FC members when they want to do the same as me. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a better idea of the costs.
12 million seems like a lot. You must've bought everything straight off the MB and followed the guide exactly step by step. Most I've spent was on food and it was only 100K. If you're not careful, it is possible to spend too much trying shorten the level time. What I mean is, any time you saved while leveling will be lost when paying back the initial cost of buying everything off the MB.
@@bigquazz3955 I was replying to the person that posted above me. He seems to have spent about 12 million. I've done the first steps up through lvl 42 and I've spent very little bit had to put in a bunch of time in diedam. If you farm the skybuilder materials the most expensive thing is the armor.
To note: you can only begin quick synthesis *after* you reach level 10 with a crafter. After you have one crafter at level 10, it unlocks quick synthesis for all of them.
This guide makes me realize just how frustrating all other crafting guides are. I feel like other guides hope people end up buying everything off the MB so they can profit off of us lol.
Some things of note that wasn't in the video: please do NOT skip out in your crafter job quests!! They can be dull at first but some crafters have an entertainable questline! Not to mention that the experience they give is HUGE! Even at high levels they give you 3/4th if a level, and around level 64ish you unlock Manipulation and a trait that increases the frequency for 'good' quality to show up through your job quests. Getting to 80 without these skills is fine but it's handicapping yourself.
Worth amending to add into this - GC hand ins give a TON of exp. HQ doubles, * items double again. Handing in HQ * items gives you 4x normal exp reward. This was why my crafters hit 80 before I even hit the end of HW. I had to buy a ton of mats off the marketboard but you just craft 2 or 3 of each hand in and sell the spares and generally profit as you go.
Hey, I'm a new Sprout still on a free trial. I've been doing the gc when I can always HQ and get the 2 times reward but I may be confused a bit about what you said about double items? If I have double of the required mats or items for the gc turn in ill get double the exp as is before hq?
I like how this is so straight to the point and beginner friendly. I needed a rest on doing MSQs and grinding Primal Mounts. So, I was thinking of at least improving my crafting classes. Had a hard time looking up on how to power level each job until I stumbled upon this. Thank you man. You are the best!
A few things to note as a trial player who tried (and failed) to do this.... 1. The macros listed in the guide are out-of-date. Here is the current lvl 21 macro: /ac "Waste Not" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Waste Not" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Great Strides" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac Veneration /ac "Basic Synthesis" /ac "Basic Synthesis" /echo Craft finished 2. You cannot do this on trial version. The food required is not available without the market board, and the food is 100% necessary to complete the crafts. The foods that work are the HQ versions of Chilli Crab / Tsai tou Vounou. They simply aren't available for us trial plebs. 3. I got nothing else for this. But at least I'm prepped for later in the week when I can actually buy the game! Thanks for the guide Fur Daddy!
I've been following this guide and I'm doing all crafters at the same time and currently I'm crafting the Ishgard 53-63 part. I already leveled my gatherers to around 77 (and they are slowly leveling through the diadem :P). The guide is working quite well. However, I've had trouble crafting the HQ gear after level 21. I ended up just buying the full NQ sets and then melding them and it worked to get right above the minimum needed for the macros (not sure about the 63 set yet though). I also went in to this thinking it would be "cheap and quick" as the title says, but I do feel it would be nice to be a bit more realistic. So far I've been doing this a few hours a day for 3 days and I still have quite a way to go. It took a lot of time for me to figure all the stuff out whenever something new came up. Once I figured it out it was easy and quick to do with the other jobs, but it will definetly take more time than 2h/job. The gil that is needed to buy everything is also a lot more than I expected, when someone says cheap it can be cheap for them while being expensive according to someone else I guess haha. I went into this with around 4 million gil and so far I've spent around 1.5 mil while I've made around 400k (everything has not been sold yet). This is even though I've farmed the most expensive materials as well as going to different servers for the cheapest prices. I'm getting a bit worried that I will have to spend hours upon hours in the diadem for the 60 recipies since I probably wont be able to afford the mats on the market board, but I'm sure I'll make it work. I do really appreciate your work and the guide though and I'm watching all your other videos as well!
I echo the same sentiments here. Those skybuilder materials can really start to hurt especially that you need a lot of them. Ill salute to quickness since i do feel like the firnament really is a good place to go at it, but it still hurts the gil.
@@migurusu-saint9160 yeah it is very quick compared to other methods! Since I wrote this I've leveled all my crafters to 80 and took it quite slow doing mostly crystarium and custom deliveries as well as daily beast tribe quests. They're cheap and easy to do and now that I'm done I really enjoy being an omnicrafter 😊 so just keep going at it!
One thing I did, that might help others: if you do all your quests up to 50, and because the quests above 50 have higher requirements to craft, save those for after you get 63 from ishgard, then go back and do all the quests from 50-70 with 63 gear (mine wasn't even HQ or melded, I just bought it from the vendor). This should get the crafters to almost 68 and you can use collectables to get to 70 from there and buy all the 70 gear. Also the armorsmith lvl 62 collectable "Rarefied High Steel Thermal Alembic" is a good one to use to get scripts to buy the Master III books required for the 60 quests.
I used your guides to get fishing and my gatherers to 80. Now the race is one to get my crafters from 1-80 before Endwalker! Thanks for the guides, the calming voice and very well produced videos!
Thank you so much for pulling all this together! Note for peeps, I am on a preffered world and 25 of a craft got me to lvl 50/51 instead of 40/41 so prepare your self for that.
Excellent guide! Thank you for posting. I'm working on leveling all my crafters now and glad I found this early in the process. I've done blacksmith and armorer already but this will help greatly with the rest!
Glad I found this guide, I just started crafting and following the traditional route have several crafts leveled to 20 so I can jump into following this guide to make the trek to level 80. Thank you.
Really good guide. I looked at the first two guides that came from searching at it all felt overly complicated for a starter guide. This one goes well into detail about how to get to places, what exactly to craft to get best results. Just overall well done! Not many XIV guide creators nail the way these things are supposed to be shown. Just expecting beginners to understand weird XIV dialect is odd.
Besides being an amazing guide, i recommend to lvl gatherers, because the markets has notice this types of guides and prices for some of this pieces have become crazy expensive for poor chars.
Tips for y'all, to make this even cheaper. You don't "need" so much HQ gear. Besides 4/5 HQ jewelry, the lvl 37 ones, I used NQ items. Just do the materia quest and meld your gear some. Currently setup my lvl 53 gear. Still using 4/5 HQ 37 jewelry, NQ for the rest, and some materia thrown in to hit breakpoints. I'm set till 63 gearing. Materia melding is WAY cheaper especially when you hit 53 gearing.
This is very true! I got stuck at the level 53-63 stage. I could not craft the Holy Rainbow set that is asked for in the Google Document. I had only a 10% chance to get high quality and I didn't feel it was worth it. Instead I melded materia to get the minimum stats recommended in the Google Document and I changed the food to Beet Soup since the Blood Bouillibaise was giving me way more CP than I needed. I did a test run to see if I got 380 collectable quality and I did. 1. Buy NQ Holy Rainbow (5 pieces) 2. Meld with mostly Control Materia III (about 8 melds). YMMV for what exactly you need. 3. Use Beet Soup. Thanks so much for this tip Loxas21!
@@nicolefrench2968 63 HQ gear crafting was far easier then 53 rainbow stuff, I found. And after making a full set, minus the belt, I barely met requirements for the 63+ crafts, as said in the doc. Though I only failed 1 craft to reach 3star. and maybe 4 others that didn't 100% quality bar. So lower stats may be doable.
been leveling by making one of everything for completion, and then turning in whatevers got leves. *starts watching* lets see how much money im burning comparably XD
This is a great guide, thank you so much for putting in the time and research and sharing it with us! :) I have to say though, I would not consider this 'cheap'. I used this guide to level all my crafters to 63, crafted all the hq gear myself and have spent around 2 mil+ so far. For a new player, that is quite a considerable investment. Still, thanks a lot
i’m a bit late to reply, but i’m a new player, and i’m currently leveling my crafters, which are all around 60. made my own hq gear as well as gathered materials needed for recipes. i would probably estimate the amount i spent on materials i was too lazy to look for or for other reasons to be around 200k-300k, which is a lot more reasonable. it helped that i had my gatherers leveled so i could get most of the materials that i needed. i could only imagine having to spend millions of gil if you bought all the materials off the market board needed for each crafter, which i can see why that would get expensive quick, especially if you’re buying hq crafting items. just wanted to provide some insight.
Man, your guides are just so good, nothing but praise. Just a tiny little bit of feedback - you are a bit silent and when I turn the volume up, the background noise is almost as loud as you :D
You know, I'm gonna be honest. I've seen your videos recommended to me in the past, and kinda avoided them cause the title and thumbnails seemed rather clickbaity. Despite this, I found myself at a loss levelling my first crafter and you were one of the first results so I thought... Why not. Great guide that's been incredibly helpful, you've "converted" me, subscribed and I'll be recommending your videos if any friend asks me tomorrow how I suddenly got my crafters up so fast
This guide is a life saver thank you. I am leveling Mng n LW and so far struggling with spending so much gil 😢 I am also on a deserted server so what’s on the MB is either sky high or just not available. I wish I’d seen this guide earlier lol
Great video and great guide. Super expensive if you don't make/ gather mats yourself. Also a bit more then 2 hours unless you have all the gear and mats on hand when starting
Why are you buying everything off the MB? The items for the level 20-71 recepies can be farmed really fast starting with a level 10 miner and botanist.
I thought I could just be a Weaver when I started crafting....yea that didn't work out so well haha! Then realised I needed to invest in Goldsmith, then Minner, then Botonist....etc. they all work together really. Great guide this will help me a ton
Not bad, most of the crafting guides out there are "Herp derp just do level quests until 60". Which is fine if you already have all the items in stock. This is something you can do if you have down time and just want to chill online for a bit while doing something on the side. Take my like sir.
Just saved this to watch later since I'm out and about but this seems like a much smoother way to get leveled up. I have a level 50 armorer and my path to get there wasn't quite as smooth.
Like many others said, this is a really nice guide, where you actually explain the stuff I need to do... I was so frustrated with a guide that everyone recommended to me where the dude is just like giving you some ridiculously high CP threshhold that you should get to and he doesn't even explain how to heck I'm supposed to get to this value :( Like it's a guide for people who have no idea how to tackle this, it's a bit hard to watch stuff where the dude doing those guides just assumes everything is clear lol. So really, love it and thanks for even explaining the steps that are obvious to people who have experience! :) Also we need to get you a new mic daddy :P Is there any way to toss some mic bucks your way?
I've been using this guide and I'm currently at the 53-63 stage. This is a note for others: The holy rainbow set does not need to be HQ but I did have to meld CP materia to reach the 360? CP requirement .(Check the Google doc in descrip. for the minimum CP required for the lvl53 macro). The materia were really cheap though. Make sure you're eating the blood bousillanese as it gives you a massive bonus to your CP.
New sub just because I was laughing at the name and your toon lololol. Also because this video is AWESOME and need HALP!!! I’m at level 50 something as a LWR and I can’t create hippogryph leather because my numbers are in the mid 200’s, and I need like a 400/300 raring….and I’m not in Ishgard yet, close tho…
Thanks for the guide. Had no idea level 20 mats were so cheap. I'm not sure how much blood food hq to buy, it's over 3,500 each, afraid to spend a ton already.
Thank you so much for this! One thing I don't get is how to make the lvl21 gear HQ at all, I've looked up other guides for that but I sadly can't understand what rotation I should do on a lvl21 crafter. I've wasted a lot of mats trying to HQ it 😭 feeling really stupid rn bc i can't get past this step ☹ Other guides tell me to use skills I don't have yet, and I always end up breaking the item
inner quiet, waste not, basic touch then standard touch, repeating those 2. On a long run might need to waste not again until you get waste not 2. Veneration at 5 or 10 progress depending how many steps it takes you to finish. Do test runs with trial synthesis to get a feel of the craft
Same, i ended up buying it on mb. But for lvl 60 i first tried to craft all gear normal quality, then craft hq with normal gear equiped. I used trial synthesis to make sure i dont waste too much mats.
This is the best beginner crafting guide I've found so far. Does it matter if the macro doesn't always ensure the quality/collectability is maxed out? Just wanna make sure because I have no clue lol. I'd assume you'd always wanna max it out but maybe it doesn't matter and the turn-ins don't require it. I haven't gotten that far yet. Pretty much at the step where I just got all my crafters to around level 21-22, made all the HQ gear and melded it with some basic cp/craftsmanship materia to meet the stat thresholds. But yeah I just noticed the collectability when using the macro would stop just short of maxing out, so I figured I'd ask. I'm sure I'm gonna get my answer anyway here in a little bit. But huge thanks for this guide. I'm someone who primarily plays FF14 for the story and raiding. I never really envisioned myself becoming an omni-crafter or even working towards it. Originally I just wanted to do alchemy and culinarian for raid food and stat potions but it seems like leveling up all your crafters at once really is the most efficient way to do it. When I first looked into crafting, it was so overwhelming and a lot of the guides were either outdated or pretty convoluted to understand if you're brand new to crafting. This is the only guide I've come across that's blatantly easy to understand for a brand new crafter getting started. Well done.
Tried this guide. While i agree the quickness of this guide, i would disagree on the cheap part. Maybe im not too aware of how much other ways to level up crafter goes, but those skybuilders materials can really start to hurt in the 60-71 especially like you need loads of them. Good guide for the quickness especially if you got gil to spare :)
Idk if numbers changed or something since you put this up, but the two macros for Lvl 60 Crafts didn't quite get it. They got Max Quality, but stopped just shy of completion. I added a couple lines to macro 2 to complete it. I'll post the whole thing (Macro 1 & Modified 2) below for easy copying. Macro #1 /ac "Muscle Memory" /ac "Inner Quiet" /ac "Waste Not II" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac Innovation /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Master's Mend" /ac Innovation /ac "Basic Touch" /echo Macro #1 finished
Are you supposed to be able to craft the lv.53 set HQ from the NQ lv.53 vendor gear? Even in following with the guide, I'm still way off from being able to craft that set HQ unless there's something im missing..
how many manuals is ''a fair bit''? i want to level 2 at once so they can get the soul crystals, that's Goldsmith and Weaver or Leatherworker.. idk which of the latter 2 is needed most and earns more
First of all great guide. It is very helpful but a minor detail missed would be the level 40 tools for doh has a lv 43 requirement or did I miss something?
So i was gonna try and make some ruby cotton gear and larch gear at level 63 so i could equip that gear and then craft the HQ versions of that gear. However i can't. I simply dont have enough craftsmanship, 1027 is recommended. Even if i already have the ruby cloth gear and larch gear equipped I'm still shy over 200 craftsmanship for ruby cotton yarn. At this point I can't craft HQ ruby cotton items or the larch item. How am i supposed to craft that stuff when i can't even craft the ruby cotton yarn in HQ?
Don't know if I am doing something wrong, but the 25 grade 4 planks hardly got me to level 27 from level 24 carpenter. I followed the guide, but the XP is like 9k per plank at +453%
OK, I don't think you said it specifically in the video, but the majority of the XP come from handing in the completed items to Potkin in the Firmament. If you're dumb, like me, then just go do that. You get 60k XP per plank. I ended up at lvl 44 after handing in all 25 planks. Sorry to doubt you Fur Daddy T-T
Actually don't buy the food he mentions, it's way too expensive, just craft both high quality tools of the appropiate level, meld cp materia onto every piece, then eat salty cod which is +8% control and u can buy on regular vendors. This is a cheaper way to do it, and you can even remove the veneration step from the macro this way. Other than that it's a really good guide!
Took me 9 days of solid grinding following this guide (weaver and leatherworker already maxed). If you don't have I'd say at LEAST 2M gil, it takes WAY longer than 2hrs just FYI 😂 so worth it though
Please make an update when Endwalker come out, see does this guide still works. Try to rush to level up before it come out, but I think I won’t able to hit it. Thank you for this video you are awesome!
Thanks for this. I rerolled from 70 all crafts and this is making it so painless now to re level quickly. @21-40 now weeeeee. *Update: Now @41+ all with 8k gil to my name. was working on crafting 41 gear and i got calamari minion from turn-ins. Sells for 350k on my server too. Should fund my next push to 60.
Video would be extremely long, but the hardest and most costly parts are getting gear and crystal shards. There is no easy way to get HQ gear nor is there a guide that tells you how to make the gear into HQ gear. It is annoying when as a player, I spend all this time macro'ing through everything, and the few times where I have to "hand craft" the gear I don't really know what I'm doing. There is also no guide on getting the materials. Even when going as far back as getting plants to make the thread, which makes the cloth, which makes the gear, the stuff is very costly on the Market Board. What makes it so costly is that everything is sold in large stacks. I don't need 99 plants. I need like 20 if that. And I only need two cloth to make the gear. You literally have to make a shopping list for all of this and none of it is cheap. So you either farm mob and grind DoLs or pay 1mil or more gil by the end of it.
Hello, thank you a lot for the guides they are super cool, i have a question at lvl 63 macro 1 is starts with muscle memory so it finishs the craft, is someting that i'm missing? (i'm noob) so bare with me please:)
It looks like they took out the Goatskin Tool Belt, or belts in general, just letting anyone know who may end up searching all over the place for this one item. They took them out in 6.0.
Great info! ALthough I'm still confused... should I be leveling all crafting jobs at the same time? If I want to level one, I still need to level leather working for the gear? So confused... lol
I made it to level 50 after finding out I could just give materials or whatever needed to the grand company. Now Im more in a spot where I can't even get the materials needed to craft them so I guess I'll craft the things I haven't yet
hey man, thanks for this guide. it was really helpful. there were some questions I have though: I feel like even though I gather slightly more materials than are shown in the document, i manage to run out just before i reach a level threshold. im not sure if this is an issue on my end or if the numbers in the doc are slightly off. for example, it took way less than 20 crafts to hit lvl 53 from 41. I then ran out of cobalt ore before i reached 63 on the same class, despite me gathering enough for 20+35 crafts. also, i searched up the xp difference between level 53 and 63. divided by the xp value given by the highest tier of the lvl 40 skybuilder craft, it comes at 35 crafts, just like you said. However, 35 crafts later, im still one craft short of 63, despite only need about 34 crafts mathematically. im not sure what the problem is: does the game bug out on xp if you get large amounts at once, or is the website that gave the xp difference just wrong? again, thanks for the guide!
From 53-61 is it 35 more of the Lv40 crafts? At the turn-in NPC it doesn't show the same tiering for me as it shows in your guide so I'm wondering if I'm turning in the wrong thing... (I'm turning in the Grade 4 stuff)
Thanks for the guide. Spent quite some time yesterday leveling my crafting professions up to 42. On the road to 80! One question: what would you recommend doing for gatherers? Just leveling via Diadem?
Thanks for the Video bookmarked 1000 hours in still sinking way to much gil into crafting so I'll be checking this out tomorrow after work. Is it possible to put chapters into the Guide? might be easy for people to check out specific segments of the video.
If you're having trouble crafting gear at any particular stage of the process, it's alright to use NQ vendor gear as long as you meet the base stat requirements laid out in the google doc. Materia melding goes a long way here! Always make sure you're saving the most gil in the process ;)
If you have significant spare Levequest allowance and access to the Crystarium, then I would recommend for Culinarian at 78 to make or buy HQ Coffee Biscuits for solid XP and gil instead. Just an idea on how to integrate the Coffee hustle.
Could you please show an example of using NQ vendor gear please? The highest I can achieve is only 403cp melding 1 slot on every piece of gear and tools. I assume it has something to do with overmelding and I have it unlocked yet still unclear how to go about using NQ gear.
I’ve been watching a lot of guides on crafting lately and this is the first one I understood all the way through! Gonna be sharing this with the FC tomorrow!
This guide is amazing! You are so right about strange wording, leveling crafting feels like one of those hidden secrets that is hidden because it's so obfuscated. Subbed and highly recommended!
used this guide to hit 80 on all my crafting jobs in less than 4 days. It was an invaluable resource. thank you so much.
What did it cost in Gil approx?
@@nitemare3904 That will be hard to say because my experience is not the norm..
I had 2.5 mil before I started. I had about 400k after I was done. I borrowed 10 mil from the FC bank. We also had quite a lot of Diemdem materials and crystals stored in the bank that I have been replacing for new FC members when they want to do the same as me.
I'm sorry I couldn't give you a better idea of the costs.
@@rcklarue well the answer is at least 12 million gil
12 million seems like a lot. You must've bought everything straight off the MB and followed the guide exactly step by step.

To note: you can only begin quick synthesis *after* you reach level 10 with a crafter.
After you have one crafter at level 10, it unlocks quick synthesis for all of them.
And you need to craft the item at least once manually aswel
Jesus Christ, thank you! I was going crazy thinking I missed something lol
This guide makes me realize just how frustrating all other crafting guides are. I feel like other guides hope people end up buying everything off the MB so they can profit off of us lol.
Definitely makes me feel like the other videos are your usual pyramid schemes. Buy mats to level up so you can sell mats when you're max!
@@carrotpwnage crafting is for sure a pyramid scheme.
😂😂 we omni crafters look down on u all from our personal mansions .
Yes, especially the ones that recommended 5/6 method for level 1-5. I mean, you just need to craft 1/2 items per level, it doesn't fking matter.
Some things of note that wasn't in the video: please do NOT skip out in your crafter job quests!!
They can be dull at first but some crafters have an entertainable questline!
Not to mention that the experience they give is HUGE! Even at high levels they give you 3/4th if a level, and around level 64ish you unlock Manipulation and a trait that increases the frequency for 'good' quality to show up through your job quests. Getting to 80 without these skills is fine but it's handicapping yourself.
Worth amending to add into this - GC hand ins give a TON of exp. HQ doubles, * items double again. Handing in HQ * items gives you 4x normal exp reward. This was why my crafters hit 80 before I even hit the end of HW. I had to buy a ton of mats off the marketboard but you just craft 2 or 3 of each hand in and sell the spares and generally profit as you go.
I did this for a bit. Getting all the different materials was a bit of a pain each day though
Hey, I'm a new Sprout still on a free trial. I've been doing the gc when I can always HQ and get the 2 times reward but I may be confused a bit about what you said about double items? If I have double of the required mats or items for the gc turn in ill get double the exp as is before hq?
@@Sourkeyz He means that items with star double again, so it's double for HQ, double for star. 4x
@@heyBurmecia oh okay I don't even know what this star stuff ill have to look it up lol
I like how this is so straight to the point and beginner friendly. I needed a rest on doing MSQs and grinding Primal Mounts. So, I was thinking of at least improving my crafting classes.
Had a hard time looking up on how to power level each job until I stumbled upon this. Thank you man. You are the best!
A few things to note as a trial player who tried (and failed) to do this....
1. The macros listed in the guide are out-of-date. Here is the current lvl 21 macro:
/ac "Waste Not"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Waste Not"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Great Strides"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac Veneration
/ac "Basic Synthesis"
/ac "Basic Synthesis"
/echo Craft finished
2. You cannot do this on trial version. The food required is not available without the market board, and the food is 100% necessary to complete the crafts. The foods that work are the HQ versions of Chilli Crab / Tsai tou Vounou. They simply aren't available for us trial plebs.
3. I got nothing else for this. But at least I'm prepped for later in the week when I can actually buy the game!
Thanks for the guide Fur Daddy!
I normally don’t comment on guides I watch, but this is one of the best and straightforward guides!
I've been following this guide and I'm doing all crafters at the same time and currently I'm crafting the Ishgard 53-63 part. I already leveled my gatherers to around 77 (and they are slowly leveling through the diadem :P). The guide is working quite well. However, I've had trouble crafting the HQ gear after level 21. I ended up just buying the full NQ sets and then melding them and it worked to get right above the minimum needed for the macros (not sure about the 63 set yet though).
I also went in to this thinking it would be "cheap and quick" as the title says, but I do feel it would be nice to be a bit more realistic. So far I've been doing this a few hours a day for 3 days and I still have quite a way to go. It took a lot of time for me to figure all the stuff out whenever something new came up. Once I figured it out it was easy and quick to do with the other jobs, but it will definetly take more time than 2h/job. The gil that is needed to buy everything is also a lot more than I expected, when someone says cheap it can be cheap for them while being expensive according to someone else I guess haha. I went into this with around 4 million gil and so far I've spent around 1.5 mil while I've made around 400k (everything has not been sold yet). This is even though I've farmed the most expensive materials as well as going to different servers for the cheapest prices. I'm getting a bit worried that I will have to spend hours upon hours in the diadem for the 60 recipies since I probably wont be able to afford the mats on the market board, but I'm sure I'll make it work.
I do really appreciate your work and the guide though and I'm watching all your other videos as well!
I echo the same sentiments here. Those skybuilder materials can really start to hurt especially that you need a lot of them. Ill salute to quickness since i do feel like the firnament really is a good place to go at it, but it still hurts the gil.
@@migurusu-saint9160 yeah it is very quick compared to other methods!
Since I wrote this I've leveled all my crafters to 80 and took it quite slow doing mostly crystarium and custom deliveries as well as daily beast tribe quests. They're cheap and easy to do and now that I'm done I really enjoy being an omnicrafter 😊 so just keep going at it!
You have amazing content man. I just got back into playing ffxiv and have learned so much new stuff after a long time of playing
One thing I did, that might help others: if you do all your quests up to 50, and because the quests above 50 have higher requirements to craft, save those for after you get 63 from ishgard, then go back and do all the quests from 50-70 with 63 gear (mine wasn't even HQ or melded, I just bought it from the vendor). This should get the crafters to almost 68 and you can use collectables to get to 70 from there and buy all the 70 gear. Also the armorsmith lvl 62 collectable "Rarefied High Steel Thermal Alembic" is a good one to use to get scripts to buy the Master III books required for the 60 quests.
I used your guides to get fishing and my gatherers to 80. Now the race is one to get my crafters from 1-80 before Endwalker! Thanks for the guides, the calming voice and very well produced videos!
Thank you so much for pulling all this together! Note for peeps, I am on a preffered world and 25 of a craft got me to lvl 50/51 instead of 40/41 so prepare your self for that.
Excellent guide! Thank you for posting. I'm working on leveling all my crafters now and glad I found this early in the process. I've done blacksmith and armorer already but this will help greatly with the rest!
Glad I found this guide, I just started crafting and following the traditional route have several crafts leveled to 20 so I can jump into following this guide to make the trek to level 80. Thank you.
Really good guide. I looked at the first two guides that came from searching at it all felt overly complicated for a starter guide. This one goes well into detail about how to get to places, what exactly to craft to get best results. Just overall well done! Not many XIV guide creators nail the way these things are supposed to be shown. Just expecting beginners to understand weird XIV dialect is odd.
I haven't been following 100% on point but most of it has definitely provided me with some much needed information, Thank you!
Besides being an amazing guide, i recommend to lvl gatherers, because the markets has notice this types of guides and prices for some of this pieces have become crazy expensive for poor chars.
I leveled botanist and miner to 80 and it made leveling crafters so much easier and cheap
I just realized you released this video on my birthday and its was a great, unintended gift. Thank you.
Tips for y'all, to make this even cheaper. You don't "need" so much HQ gear. Besides 4/5 HQ jewelry, the lvl 37 ones, I used NQ items. Just do the materia quest and meld your gear some. Currently setup my lvl 53 gear. Still using 4/5 HQ 37 jewelry, NQ for the rest, and some materia thrown in to hit breakpoints. I'm set till 63 gearing.
Materia melding is WAY cheaper especially when you hit 53 gearing.
This is very true! I got stuck at the level 53-63 stage. I could not craft the Holy Rainbow set that is asked for in the Google Document. I had only a 10% chance to get high quality and I didn't feel it was worth it. Instead I melded materia to get the minimum stats recommended in the Google Document and I changed the food to Beet Soup since the Blood Bouillibaise was giving me way more CP than I needed. I did a test run to see if I got 380 collectable quality and I did.
1. Buy NQ Holy Rainbow (5 pieces)
2. Meld with mostly Control Materia III (about 8 melds). YMMV for what exactly you need.
3. Use Beet Soup.
Thanks so much for this tip Loxas21!
@@nicolefrench2968 63 HQ gear crafting was far easier then 53 rainbow stuff, I found. And after making a full set, minus the belt, I barely met requirements for the 63+ crafts, as said in the doc. Though I only failed 1 craft to reach 3star. and maybe 4 others that didn't 100% quality bar. So lower stats may be doable.
First video that isn't a pyramid scheme to make Gil from buying shit off the market board. Thank you.
been leveling by making one of everything for completion, and then turning in whatevers got leves. *starts watching* lets see how much money im burning comparably XD
This is a great guide, thank you so much for putting in the time and research and sharing it with us! :) I have to say though, I would not consider this 'cheap'. I used this guide to level all my crafters to 63, crafted all the hq gear myself and have spent around 2 mil+ so far. For a new player, that is quite a considerable investment. Still, thanks a lot
i’m a bit late to reply, but i’m a new player, and i’m currently leveling my crafters, which are all around 60. made my own hq gear as well as gathered materials needed for recipes. i would probably estimate the amount i spent on materials i was too lazy to look for or for other reasons to be around 200k-300k, which is a lot more reasonable. it helped that i had my gatherers leveled so i could get most of the materials that i needed. i could only imagine having to spend millions of gil if you bought all the materials off the market board needed for each crafter, which i can see why that would get expensive quick, especially if you’re buying hq crafting items. just wanted to provide some insight.
holy shit a guide that i can actually follow . this has been working out so nicely for me so far . thank u so much !!!!!!!
Man, your guides are just so good, nothing but praise. Just a tiny little bit of feedback - you are a bit silent and when I turn the volume up, the background noise is almost as loud as you :D
You know, I'm gonna be honest. I've seen your videos recommended to me in the past, and kinda avoided them cause the title and thumbnails seemed rather clickbaity. Despite this, I found myself at a loss levelling my first crafter and you were one of the first results so I thought... Why not.
Great guide that's been incredibly helpful, you've "converted" me, subscribed and I'll be recommending your videos if any friend asks me tomorrow how I suddenly got my crafters up so fast
This guide is a life saver thank you. I am leveling Mng n LW and so far struggling with spending so much gil 😢 I am also on a deserted server so what’s on the MB is either sky high or just not available. I wish I’d seen this guide earlier lol
Great video and great guide. Super expensive if you don't make/ gather mats yourself. Also a bit more then 2 hours unless you have all the gear and mats on hand when starting
Don’t get me wrong this guide is amazing but holy shit is it expensive. Definitely not cheap
how much was for u ?
Why are you buying everything off the MB? The items for the level 20-71 recepies can be farmed really fast starting with a level 10 miner and botanist.
Thanks so much for the video man honestly I been looking for 5.5 patch and this helped a lot man!!
I thought I could just be a Weaver when I started crafting....yea that didn't work out so well haha! Then realised I needed to invest in Goldsmith, then Minner, then Botonist....etc. they all work together really. Great guide this will help me a ton
Not bad, most of the crafting guides out there are "Herp derp just do level quests until 60". Which is fine if you already have all the items in stock. This is something you can do if you have down time and just want to chill online for a bit while doing something on the side. Take my like sir.
Awesome man. Really appreciate this guide!
Man I love you!! Thank you so much for this.
Just saved this to watch later since I'm out and about but this seems like a much smoother way to get leveled up. I have a level 50 armorer and my path to get there wasn't quite as smooth.
Like many others said, this is a really nice guide, where you actually explain the stuff I need to do... I was so frustrated with a guide that everyone recommended to me where the dude is just like giving you some ridiculously high CP threshhold that you should get to and he doesn't even explain how to heck I'm supposed to get to this value :( Like it's a guide for people who have no idea how to tackle this, it's a bit hard to watch stuff where the dude doing those guides just assumes everything is clear lol.
So really, love it and thanks for even explaining the steps that are obvious to people who have experience! :)
Also we need to get you a new mic daddy :P Is there any way to toss some mic bucks your way?
I've been using this guide and I'm currently at the 53-63 stage. This is a note for others: The holy rainbow set does not need to be HQ but I did have to meld CP materia to reach the 360? CP requirement .(Check the Google doc in descrip. for the minimum CP required for the lvl53 macro). The materia were really cheap though. Make sure you're eating the blood bousillanese as it gives you a massive bonus to your CP.
New sub just because I was laughing at the name and your toon lololol. Also because this video is AWESOME and need HALP!!! I’m at level 50 something as a LWR and I can’t create hippogryph leather because my numbers are in the mid 200’s, and I need like a 400/300 raring….and I’m not in Ishgard yet, close tho…
Thanks for the guide. Had no idea level 20 mats were so cheap. I'm not sure how much blood food hq to buy, it's over 3,500 each, afraid to spend a ton already.
thnx for the tips daddy uwu been leveling Goldsmith and Weaver and this helps alot
I only been playing for like 2 weeks (27 ingame hours) and I found this guide super helpful....but the 3:46 part.....blew my mind......
Loved this guide, will be blasting my crafters to 80 tonight with this. Thanks for keeping it simple 👌
Thank you so much for this! One thing I don't get is how to make the lvl21 gear HQ at all, I've looked up other guides for that but I sadly can't understand what rotation I should do on a lvl21 crafter. I've wasted a lot of mats trying to HQ it 😭 feeling really stupid rn bc i can't get past this step ☹ Other guides tell me to use skills I don't have yet, and I always end up breaking the item
inner quiet, waste not, basic touch then standard touch, repeating those 2. On a long run might need to waste not again until you get waste not 2. Veneration at 5 or 10 progress depending how many steps it takes you to finish. Do test runs with trial synthesis to get a feel of the craft
@@TheRustyTigger thanks! I figured it out eventually, but now just stuck at the 53-63 bc i cannot seem to HQ holy rainbow gear at all
@@pointemass I’m stuck at this step as well.
Same, i ended up buying it on mb. But for lvl 60 i first tried to craft all gear normal quality, then craft hq with normal gear equiped. I used trial synthesis to make sure i dont waste too much mats.
Love u Fur Daddy! Such a great guide!
Great guide dude thank you, got almost every crafting/gathering to 20 so this is perfect 👌
Just so people know the firmament is available after patch 3.3
This is the best beginner crafting guide I've found so far.
Does it matter if the macro doesn't always ensure the quality/collectability is maxed out? Just wanna make sure because I have no clue lol. I'd assume you'd always wanna max it out but maybe it doesn't matter and the turn-ins don't require it. I haven't gotten that far yet. Pretty much at the step where I just got all my crafters to around level 21-22, made all the HQ gear and melded it with some basic cp/craftsmanship materia to meet the stat thresholds. But yeah I just noticed the collectability when using the macro would stop just short of maxing out, so I figured I'd ask. I'm sure I'm gonna get my answer anyway here in a little bit.
But huge thanks for this guide. I'm someone who primarily plays FF14 for the story and raiding. I never really envisioned myself becoming an omni-crafter or even working towards it. Originally I just wanted to do alchemy and culinarian for raid food and stat potions but it seems like leveling up all your crafters at once really is the most efficient way to do it. When I first looked into crafting, it was so overwhelming and a lot of the guides were either outdated or pretty convoluted to understand if you're brand new to crafting. This is the only guide I've come across that's blatantly easy to understand for a brand new crafter getting started. Well done.
Thanks for getting my crafters to 80 in hours rather than months.
Tried this guide. While i agree the quickness of this guide, i would disagree on the cheap part. Maybe im not too aware of how much other ways to level up crafter goes, but those skybuilders materials can really start to hurt in the 60-71 especially like you need loads of them. Good guide for the quickness especially if you got gil to spare :)
Never wanted to change to a Hrothgar before but seeing how nice his looks im tempted to become a fur daddy myself.
THANK YOU! i just burned through a million gill before i found this video..... on one class -.-
thank god i found this when i did. i leveled arm to 46 and thought there had to be a better way... and here i am
Idk if numbers changed or something since you put this up, but the two macros for Lvl 60 Crafts didn't quite get it. They got Max Quality, but stopped just shy of completion. I added a couple lines to macro 2 to complete it. I'll post the whole thing (Macro 1 & Modified 2) below for easy copying.

Love the guide, the only confusing part is you say for 63 we have to overmeld when we just have to regular meld no?
Great guide. Thanks!
Are you supposed to be able to craft the lv.53 set HQ from the NQ lv.53 vendor gear? Even in following with the guide, I'm still way off from being able to craft that set HQ unless there's something im missing..
Yeah its impossible, i bought every material, prepared everything only to get frustrated...
I'm new at this game. And ur vid gave me more info than Google. Great Job great vid thanks. I sub and bell as well ty
actually good video, thanks a lot
how many manuals is ''a fair bit''? i want to level 2 at once so they can get the soul crystals, that's Goldsmith and Weaver or Leatherworker.. idk which of the latter 2 is needed most and earns more
i changed my mind, i want to focus on weaver and leatherworker for the glamour outfits people love to get a lot of
Hey! Thanks for the super helpful guide! Unrelated question, is your shade preset available anywhere? It looks amazing!
thanks for the info :D it was super helpful
First of all great guide. It is very helpful but a minor detail missed would be the level 40 tools for doh has a lv 43 requirement or did I miss something?
So i was gonna try and make some ruby cotton gear and larch gear at level 63 so i could equip that gear and then craft the HQ versions of that gear. However i can't. I simply dont have enough craftsmanship, 1027 is recommended. Even if i already have the ruby cloth gear and larch gear equipped I'm still shy over 200 craftsmanship for ruby cotton yarn.
At this point I can't craft HQ ruby cotton items or the larch item. How am i supposed to craft that stuff when i can't even craft the ruby cotton yarn in HQ?
Thanks for the guide and the macros.
One question, though: macro is running fine, but then in the middle of it I run out of HP. How do you solve this?
Eeee!!! Your character is adorable! 🥰
> "That way you don't need high quality crafts on all your items."
Heretic!
Do you play on ps4 or using a gshade preset? Your game looks different than mine :D
Thanks for making this :)
Don't know if I am doing something wrong, but the 25 grade 4 planks hardly got me to level 27 from level 24 carpenter. I followed the guide, but the XP is like 9k per plank at +453%
OK, I don't think you said it specifically in the video, but the majority of the XP come from handing in the completed items to Potkin in the Firmament. If you're dumb, like me, then just go do that. You get 60k XP per plank. I ended up at lvl 44 after handing in all 25 planks. Sorry to doubt you Fur Daddy T-T
which gshade preset are you rockin ?
Actually don't buy the food he mentions, it's way too expensive, just craft both high quality tools of the appropiate level, meld cp materia onto every piece, then eat salty cod which is +8% control and u can buy on regular vendors. This is a cheaper way to do it, and you can even remove the veneration step from the macro this way.
Other than that it's a really good guide!
Took me 9 days of solid grinding following this guide (weaver and leatherworker already maxed). If you don't have I'd say at LEAST 2M gil, it takes WAY longer than 2hrs just FYI 😂 so worth it though
Is the firmament still around in endwalker?
Which gshade preset/custom settings are you using? It looks great.
Please make an update when Endwalker come out, see does this guide still works. Try to rush to level up before it come out, but I think I won’t able to hit it. Thank you for this video you are awesome!
Take a shot every time he says "You're going to want to". You may be dead after 5 mins.
Thanks for the video, insta subbed 👍
Thanks for this. I rerolled from 70 all crafts and this is making it so painless now to re level quickly. @21-40 now weeeeee. *Update: Now @41+ all with 8k gil to my name. was working on crafting 41 gear and i got calamari minion from turn-ins. Sells for 350k on my server too. Should fund my next push to 60.
Video would be extremely long, but the hardest and most costly parts are getting gear and crystal shards. There is no easy way to get HQ gear nor is there a guide that tells you how to make the gear into HQ gear. It is annoying when as a player, I spend all this time macro'ing through everything, and the few times where I have to "hand craft" the gear I don't really know what I'm doing. There is also no guide on getting the materials. Even when going as far back as getting plants to make the thread, which makes the cloth, which makes the gear, the stuff is very costly on the Market Board. What makes it so costly is that everything is sold in large stacks. I don't need 99 plants. I need like 20 if that. And I only need two cloth to make the gear. You literally have to make a shopping list for all of this and none of it is cheap. So you either farm mob and grind DoLs or pay 1mil or more gil by the end of it.
Hello, thank you a lot for the guides they are super cool, i have a question at lvl 63 macro 1 is starts with muscle memory so it finishs the craft, is someting that i'm missing? (i'm noob) so bare with me please:)
It looks like they took out the Goatskin Tool Belt, or belts in general, just letting anyone know who may end up searching all over the place for this one item. They took them out in 6.0.
You are a life saver!
Great info! ALthough I'm still confused... should I be leveling all crafting jobs at the same time? If I want to level one, I still need to level leather working for the gear? So confused... lol
Just rewatched video and you said to do it all at once. My bad.
Bookmarked! Thank you for making guides for us sprouts. ^w^ Especally useful with the new wave coming in NA!
Great guide. Audio was a bit low for me. I had everything cranked up to max but still hard to hear.
Any suggestion to level up gatherer and crafter as an alternative to Ishgard Restoration, not that it's conclused?
This is such a god send!
Thank for the guide! Just one question for leveling from 63 to 71 we do ishgard or is the kugane levelquest more efficent and cheaper?
Gonna use this to finally level my crafters so i can repair my gear
I made it to level 50 after finding out I could just give materials or whatever needed to the grand company. Now Im more in a spot where I can't even get the materials needed to craft them so I guess I'll craft the things I haven't yet
Is there a new macro since Inner Quiet is gone?
I cant see the amounts I would need past the level 20 stage on the document plz halp😥😭
helpful, subbed.
hey man, thanks for this guide. it was really helpful. there were some questions I have though:
I feel like even though I gather slightly more materials than are shown in the document, i manage to run out just before i reach a level threshold. im not sure if this is an issue on my end or if the numbers in the doc are slightly off. for example, it took way less than 20 crafts to hit lvl 53 from 41. I then ran out of cobalt ore before i reached 63 on the same class, despite me gathering enough for 20+35 crafts.
also, i searched up the xp difference between level 53 and 63. divided by the xp value given by the highest tier of the lvl 40 skybuilder craft, it comes at 35 crafts, just like you said. However, 35 crafts later, im still one craft short of 63, despite only need about 34 crafts mathematically. im not sure what the problem is: does the game bug out on xp if you get large amounts at once, or is the website that gave the xp difference just wrong?
again, thanks for the guide!
From 53-61 is it 35 more of the Lv40 crafts? At the turn-in NPC it doesn't show the same tiering for me as it shows in your guide so I'm wondering if I'm turning in the wrong thing... (I'm turning in the Grade 4 stuff)
Thanks for the guide. Spent quite some time yesterday leveling my crafting professions up to 42. On the road to 80! One question: what would you recommend doing for gatherers? Just leveling via Diadem?
Leves and grand company deliveries
I did diadem to 50 then leves from 50 to 80
Thanks for the Video bookmarked 1000 hours in still sinking way to much gil into crafting so I'll be checking this out tomorrow after work. Is it possible to put chapters into the Guide? might be easy for people to check out specific segments of the video.
Sure!
@@ChatterGuides Thanks for the quick turn around subbed.
