Why hello there EXCAL! Our little home is half way to becoming a castle and I know a lot of you are starting to get into crafting. I just wanted to write a quick guide for reference in terms of leveling your crafting and the path you need to High Quality (HQ). Having your Discipline of the Lands (DOL) leveled make this process a lot easier on your gil pouch.
Leveling:
Believe it or not EXCAL, there is a correct path when leveling your crafts. I learned this the hard way because I went with BSM first, thinking I was filling a role the FC needed. Here is what you need to do.
1. Get every Discipline of the Hand (DOH) to 15. You need a cross class skill from almost every DOH.
2. Level Carpenter to 50 for Byregot's Blessing (BB) and Culinary to 37 for Steady Hand II.
I found that it is easy enough to get to 20 using new recipes and spamming one or two easy to make ones. After that, we used Levequest to get to 50 by turning in HQs and the provisional quests provided by your Grand Company (GC).
Crafting HQ:
Once you level what you need, you can now level the DOH that you "want" to be. EX. I want to be a high level cook to provide our FC with raid food. Obviously, don't forget to gear out your 50 DOH with all HQ gear and meld them...even overmeld if you have the gil. Your rotation will look like this for most recipes:
INNER QUIET> STEADY HAND II (refresh when needed)> HASTY TOUCH (main HQ move) > MANIPULATION (when about half) > TRICKS OF THE TRADE (when "good")
until you hit 100%. This is all situational but you will get the hang of it as you craft.
To finish it off you will:
Use BB for those last few HQ percent's or Rumination if you need CP to finish the craft. INGENUITY II> SYNTHESIS will finish off most crafts.
Questions, comments or concerns please hit me up in FC chat. If I missed anything, comment away below.
LET'S GET OUR LARGE CASTLE EXCAL!!!
I hope everyone likes it
