Everyone has their loves in games, for me that love is being filthy sticking rich.

I am going to start out by leveling mining and gold smithing to 50.

FFXIV uses a lot of cross class interaction as most of you know, so I am going to need to find a few other people that share my desire to level profession first.


I will be looking to buy/trade/barter for parts for leveling my professions, crafting gear and gathering gear.

I will need a weaver to help progressing gear, Blacksmith for upgraded Weapons, Carpenter for offhand, Gatherers for extra materials.

I will be able to provide helms, jewelry, weapons, even FG if needed.

Scratch my back, i'll scratch yours! Everyone is going to need the CP/GP jewelry!

Just a piece of advice for crafting. To be a good crafter, you need to use plenty of cross-class abilities to craft HQ (high quality) items....which include:

CRP 50: Byregot's Blessing

LTW 50: Waste Not II
LTW 15: Waste Not I

WVR 50: Careful Synthesis II

ALC 50: Comfort Zone
ALC 15: Tricks Of The Trade

CUL 37: Steady Hand II
Cul 15: Hasty Touch

I did a ton of crafting in phase 4, probably close to 15 hours.

I taught myself all of the present mechanics (i.e. colors of what you are crafting are VERY important), and learned to utilize them to obtain maximum quality albeit still governed by rng.

Got BS to 15, ARM to 16 (Gladiator main), most everything else to 5 or 10 to help eliminate some material costs like wood.

Unfortunately, I'm not on Gilgamesh. :\

I only had time in beta to level GS/Gathering to 20 and then 2 of the others to 15 because I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do, so I leveled all DOM to 20

I feel like I need a weaver leveling up with me, I can make needles and jewelry, they can make the gear.

I'll probably be too busy crafting after I hit 30 and get Scholar.

Create a dedicated linkshell for crafters on jsp imo.

I'll be on bedrest for 30 days recovering from a surgery for September/October, so I'll have high crafting through that ordeal. Hit me up and we can cyber.

Level 20 Botanist, 19 Carpentry (hopefully when the servers come up I will have enough rested exp to be at 20!). In-game name is Unseen Gift and I will be looking to trade, maybe we should have an official thread for craft-trading?
