The goldsmith quest 50-60 is probably my favorite crafting quest line. I won't spoil it, but it's such a sweet, adorable story you get to help create. It's so wholesome. Sometimes, we deserve that

My main and really only issue with crafters and gatherers is that the inventory system is so bad and slow that I can’t imagine adding even more items to it to manage. If they fixed the inventory system and I didn’t need to spend extra money for more bank slots then I would spend much more time diving into the crafting system.

This. The inventory system is really bad, and there are so many items you will aquire in your bags that aren't obvious what they are used for or how important/expensive they are. They really need to stop adding as many materials, maybe reduce/combine some. And make a bag specifically for materials.

It's only really bad during the leveling process. By the time they're maxed, you have a decent idea of what's worth keeping and what isn't. (and the number of things worth keeping goes down significantly if you have gatherers; no point holding onto something if you can just go out and get it)

Just hope the crafting stories are better than msq

The Firmament, Ishgard Restoration, and Charlemend's custom delivery questline are just beautiful. Would really be a shame to miss out on all that after Heavensward.

My favorite crafting story is weaver 1-50. It has romance, comedy, life advice, and glams for the rest of your game to 90. Also my advice for all kinds of crafters and gatherers: *keep you gear up-to-date!* Otherwise with the increasing power requirements it will be a slog of truly epic proportions - so, if any piece of your gear lags behind by more than 10 levels craft something that's current. That's how you can enjoy crafting & gathering.

For stories: I liked ARM 1-50 and WVR 1-50 a ton. For you Ishikawa stans out there, she also wrote ALC 1-50 and it shows by the themes. (There's also a cute story flag if you finish BSM 50-60 job quests before the PLD 60-70 job quests.) I also do recommend the Crystarium (ShB) and Studium (EW) quests if you like the game's story, as both of those tie into the main expansion story VERY well. (I actually found the CUL/ALC Studium quest to be super hilaroius/compelling, if you're familiar with how terrible Archon Loaf is.)

Then it seemed getting the metal for weapons was really arduous, so I became a goldsmith. But to make jewelry I needed gems. So I became a miner. Levelling goldsmith with mining was going great and I became a level 50 miner. But then to become a level 50 goldsmith I needed some black oyster pearl from fishing. I then realized those useless feathers I was discarding I would actually need for fishing lures. I haven't done any land or hand jobs since.

yea if you want to do crafters you do all of them and level them at the same time (up to your expansions lvl story so you dont burn out). that or you spend a lot of money buying stuff from market... also dont let me mention how fast you'll get undergeared and when you have to craft something it would be impossible, so another thing to throw money if you dont have all crafters.

Had a blast reading all the describtions while gathering for my Pteranodon, can highly recommend checking them out when u go there levelling

Zepla, I hope you read this. There's also Large (LARGE) (L) ishgardian leves, that give a crapton exp. I levelled my FSH from 50 to 70 in 4 large deliveries and I bought the fish from MB for almost nothing (they were like 200gil each, needed like 6) It takes away 10 leve allowances per large leve,but its so worth it.

This was an awesome way to showcase some of the neat, casual stuff you can do with the life skills for some sweet rewards

The most important thing, DO YOUR CLASS QUESTS. They're annoying for a while and I did skip most of the dialogue, the later quests give a ton of exp, literally entire levels worth, and they lock incredibly important skills behind them.

If you are looking to level only one gatherer and one crafter I recommend Culinarian and Botanist.

That way you can actually gather and craft useful things in the endgame if you feel like it, without breaking the bank on material cost.

Love this video! Definitely helped me want to hop back into crafting and gathering again!

I recently hit 90 on WVR because it was so fun and I genuinely enjoy the process. Once upon a time lil sprout me window shopped on the market board for glams thinking I wouldn't be able to have any of those things for a while...but now I can make them myself! Very satisfying 💕 My knowledge and discoveries are now passed onto the rest of my leveling journey. Each craft is a fun puzzle to make the perfect HQ item. When I need a break from MSQ and need to turn my brain off for anything else, crafting and gathering are my go-to. I understand now why people love it so much.

I've never been much of an MMO player, but I gave FF14 a genuine shot before and after Stormblood (two separate phases, trying out multiple characters until I settled on a Viera Conjurer/White Mage). I discovered that I really love the crafting system. I even taught a longtime player (an old friend of 20+ years) how to do the crafting because he didn't get it or the appeal for it (he had multiple high-level adventuring characters with oodles of money); he actually ended up enjoying it once he caught on. My Viera White Mage (who I really wanted to get to Red Mage because that's been my favorite Job since FF1) ended up becoming a higher level Weaver and Leatherworker than her primary adventuring job; gear was always as up-to-date as possible for all three jobs. She also had some Carpentry (mostly to keep my Conjurer/White Mage gear upgraded) and Culinary levels (because I discovered food items to be pretty useful, even for crafting). The only thing was that I sometimes had to go adventuring to restock certain materials, or at least get more money to buy said materials from the marketboard. I always tried to put up HQ products for sale at reasonable prices because I wanted to give other casual players a chance to pick these items up (not to mention make a little money for more materials). Although it's functionally the same, the Gatherer jobs are not as fun only because I have to remember where to go for specific materials, and I don't want to play with a guide open the whole time. But I did give Botany a legitimate shot. And a little Mining. I dunno if I'll return for a third play "phase" anytime soon, though. TL;DR Basically playing FF14 to simulate working multiple day jobs, occasionally moonlighting as a healer role.

In one of the side-stories, you learn that the Shadowbringers zones have giant invisible dinosaurs just vibing out there and every time I tell someone they think I'm joking.

There are so many cool stories in the crafter and gatherer quests

I started playing around when this video came out and just finished the main ARR quests a couple nights ago. The entire time, I've kept all of the DoL/DoH classes at or above my main BRD level, and I have enjoyed every single minute of it. ALL of the class quests, the absurd amount of GC experience, traveling and exploring all over the map... it's been a blast. Then again, I started as an omni-crafter since I only bought the game a week ago and wanted to make all my own HQ gear

One thing that was great for me when first leveling Ixali , starting at the End of 2.0, you get 1 Venture for most of their Quests, 2 if you do the Quota Quest. That greatly helped me out in the early days of leveling Retainers before you get reach the GC Rank to turn in Items for GCS. Once you unlock a few Ranks with the Ixali you can get all 12 Dailies just from them without too much effort most of the time, not to mention the massive Exp for your Crafter

I like to do Levequests, especially the large (10 allowances per set of turn-ins) levequests in Ishgard until you hit level 80. If you are under Road to 80, you can get up to 48 million exp for a set of turn-ins. That equates to several levels in one shot. Don't be afraid to ask an omnicrafter to help out, several of us do enjoy helping others (with a little help on the materials costs).

You should at least level crafting and gathering to be able to gather the materials and make your own dyes for your glamour and to sell them on the market board. Always a easy way to make some Gil.

I'm saving this video to come back to later so I can see the tips for these classes again. There go info here so thank you for this, Zepla!! 💯

I was nervous to start crafting but once I started the firmament I actually had a lot of fun. I used the firmament to power level all the crafters to 70 and my gatherers to 90. I used the job quests and daily GC turn ins to level from 70-90. While doing the GC turn ins make an extra for the market and you'll make good money in the process too! My fav rewards are definitely the Ehll Tou, Ufiti, and Hybodus mounts. The "Dragon's Best Friend" title and of course Major General!!

Loved this video it got everything I like about your FFXIV guide vids 😄

love the variety of ways to craft. Always change it up! and yes echoing the comment section do that class quests, they give you more skills and a nice little story to embark on showcasing your creations.

Usually when leveling crafters via my GC, I go to the market vendor NPCs if I can to get the gear, even though it won't be HQ. If the requested gear isn't available that way, _then_ I use the MB to get what I need.

Along with the tribe quests for the crafter/gatherer tribes, maxing out rep for all the tribes in an expansion gives access to another few story quests to get to allied reputation. Those stories so far have been pretty fun as well. (I've done Allied in ARR and Heavensward, and am about to get Allied in Stormblood)

Thank you so much for this information. I'm new to the game (only started really around mid 2022), and your videos are so very helpful to me.

Someone else mentioned Teamcraft - and I cannot agree more, excellent tool. I also want to add Universalis - esp if you're going to world hop for items.

Great job on this video! I think the one tip that I would add is to do this as casually as possible. That XP bonus bar is going to help minimize all the effort needed to get to level cap. Culinarian was the most fun and enjoyable story for me.

Zepla, you motivate me! And with such a great community. Thank you! ^^

The gathering sidequests for Botanist and Miner in sharlayan were adorable. Highly recommend.

I really love the crafting and gathering in FFXIV. I was actually late to the Endwalker release (didn't finish the Shadowbringers patches before release) because I took a HUGE detour to level up all my Hand and Land disciplines 😅 I'm now a max-level omni-crafter and even made my own full set of Rinascita gear for my main combat job 😎

Fishing stories make you feel like a badass with some unbelievable catches and a bit of wholesomeness sprinkled in. enjoyed it so much gonna tackle it on my alt soon as well :)

From pre-Shadowbringers, the Alchemy quests stand out as some of the best and most touching story lines. I recommend doing the level 1-50 Blacksmith and Miner quests first for some extra "Oh hey I know you" special dialog. The Crystarium and Studium quests as a whole are very good too, especially the meta ending quests after completing all five storylines.

Another nice thing about the gathering jobs is the sneak skill. While that is active all monsters of your level plus 4 and below will ignore you unless you attack them. That's really nice in areas you haven't unlocked mount flying yet and just want to quickly get around without being bothered by monster attacks.

I did the dwarf crafting quests just so I could get the Lali Hop, since that's one of my favorite dances. I don't really enjoy crafting/gathering that much, but sometimes it's really nice as a way to chill out in-game.

your video about grand company and crafting was actually the reason why i boosted my crafting so quick. i'm a sprout and i started playing ff14 a month ago and i started crafting probably a few weeks ago and i never knew this much info about the grand companies, so thanks to you i went from manually grinding my goldsmith from 1-37 in weeks to 37-62 in 2 days 😅 so thank you!

Honestly, crafting and gathering is a great thing to do when you're catching up on podcasts and various series.

Same.

I first leveled my gatherers. Months later I finally decided to level crafters. I did all 8 of them at once taking advantage of the fact that crafting recipe needs mats from other crafter jobs and being able to gather everything myself with gatherer jobs. I only spent pennies for teleportation basically. I was also farming white scripsthrough collectable recipes while leveling so I could also get all the expert recipe crafting books. Last step was to craft my own endgame (pactmaker) gearset, that was also quite a ride as I had to first craft a lower set, overmeld that set just so I could reach stats tresholds. It was an excrutiating few weeks but once all of this was done I never felt so free in this game. I can now easily craft my own gear/food/potions/glam/furniture and that alone made it worth it. I'm no longer held hostage by marketboard gouging prices.

I've been putting this off for so long. This is the push I need. Still hesitant but I'll give it a try

Diadem gathering also includes the vitally important lore regarding the Ishgardian's communal salt rock that they take turns licking

I'm constantly wandering off to level crafting instead of the next msq quest, I just love the progression, and I'm looking forward to getting all crafters and gatherers to 90 (I'm not sure I'll do that any time soon for all Disciple of War/Magic jobs xD ) Gathering is easy, it just needs you to travel, and all the crafting jobs work the same with similar buttons. I like the crafting systems, even on console without any knowledge of what a macro is. Thanks for a grate video, this was fun!

I level every job in both classes but hardly use them, but does come in handy when I do happen to need them

Great video. Thanks alot!!!

Thanks for the vid Zepla, inspires me to pick up some lazy options I have neglected after reaching 90. I loved the leveling quests. Hated the mind numbing firmament power crafting. But so fast leveling. The ShB and EW quest were a welcome distraction. Also Leves at 80+ work wonders to reach 90 fast. And I liked the buy bulk method, craft what you need and more. And then sell the rest for profit so leveling doesn't cost you anything. Gathering was alright to. Tho diadem was mind numbing as well. Didn't do that as much. Did like the collectable runs over all the zones. Fisher didn't touch yet, cause I hated the randomness when I picked it up. But didn't understand you could do ocean fish or just buy quest items at the MB. Gonna pick it up soon now. When I reached max lvl I got overwhelmed with high end crafting. I wanted to make all my own gear, but the tediousness and grind of all the HQ components quickly made me hate high end crafting. So now I just do lazy crafting, make money where I can and just buy the armor that I need from MB. I want to use 80 and lower crafts to make money, cause of that immensely powerfull HQ in one press skill: "Facepalm beard guy" Now I'm doing tribals for mounts. Didn't want to de weekly scrip runs, cause I had everything I wanted. But didn't get the glams. And forgot you can materia farm for money. So I think I'll pick up weekly scrips again.

Was rewatching the last video about glamour and saw this was up. Haven't watched yet but I'm excited to because I really really want to level up my crafters and do their stories right now but it feels tedious and expensive. So hoping this inspires me. I started leveling them early on because I was scared of MSQ, did that on free trial, then got them all to level 50 before Endwalker popped around the time when I bought the full game. Now I want to get them all to 60 and do their stories. I just have to do them I have the recipe books... just need to do them.

If you're up for a challenge but never got into crafting for one reason or another, trying your hand at Expert crafts might get you hooked. Consistently making high rating Expert crafts can be more challenging than a lot of battle content, and the rewards/feeling of accomplishment is huge! Being apart of the small group of people that understood how to make the Water Otter parts on launch on my server (with minimal losses) netted me like 10m gold a day for about 30 minutes of investment. The crafting relics (especially the Skybuilder's set) look dope as well; my Skybuilder's alembic turns heads pretty frequently because of the dragon particle effects. Never having to talk to an NPC to repair your gear is also HIGHLY convenient. For gathering it's not as much of a challenge as much as it's a knowledge check. Once you understand how the different nodes work (and use a convenient resource like Garland Bell or Teamcraft), you kinda just get whatever you want whenever you want it without much thought. It's also ESPECIALLY handy that whatever you've added to your gathring log can be gathered by your retainers via ventures, largely sidestepping time based requirements, will little exception. Farming gathering materia on patch release is also MEGA lucrative and SUPER hands off once you understand it. Fishing is also dank as hell. Outside of Ocean Fishing, it's the jankiest, least apparent, time consuming piece of content in the game (if you want it to be), and I ADORE IT. It's not for everyone, but at least knowing how the lures work for weekly deliveries can save you TONS of time getting gathering scripts, which are much harder to get than crafter's scripts in my opinion. It's also one of the best way to farm aethersand (a crafting material that is ALWAYS useful) because the fish that can be broken down into aethersand aren't timegated like the nodes. It's also just a really good fishing minigame with a lot of depth, and the titles are HUGE flexes. Crafting and Gathering isn't additonal contnent, it's primetime, just like dungeons, raids, and trials. It's alright to have preferences, but if you completely skip the DoH and DoL classes, you're legtimately missing out on like 1/3rd of the game, including all of the easy to get rewards, and the great additional narratives. Alchemist is the best crafter-gatherer storyline by a MILE, by the way. It's not even close

Cooking is Love, Cooking is Life. Besides that, fishing and the ocean endeaver content is actually fun. Its a bit much time gated for me but once you build it into your daily or whatever routine it is nice to casually do.

If I knew I could dress up the twins mom earlier I would have been crafting and gathering a long time ago.

Thank You Zepla

I'm debating getting back into this game just for the crafting.

I got in to ff14, 1.5 years ago and i did some crafting on my 2nd day only to run out of GIL and inventory space!!, since back then we even had belts, but basically i got my armorer to lvl 14 and miner to lvl 11 and after that i just gave up and started doing the MSQ and pve & pvp content but in this video you mentioned some very good tips for fast xp so i think that im going to sort out my inventory and start crafting so that one day i might get the damn MOOGLE TRIBE DANCE!!!

“Could be the laziest” I’m sold lolol. I actually had no idea you could get xp for crafters like that

the shark minion fishing legit took me 30 minutes to get, So worth your time going for. Just fish as fast as you can on your expedition and listen to the boat guys telling you what bait to use, I only did the first two fishing quests before attempting

I like how she says "polite" trainer while showing jewel crafting.

Having a levelled retainer crafter or gatherer expands the potential of unique minions and stuff too! But you have to have one levelled for your retainer to be able to level it. :) Also, the alchemist questline is one of the most heartwrenching in the game :.(

Is it unusual to level your crafters? I’m still on trial mode but I’ve been obsessed with the crafting/gathering. I’ve only been playing for a week but all my crafters are already above level 25. Heck I went kinda crazy with my botanist reaching level 35 when even my main battle job is still only at level 34😅.

I started fetting back into Crafting starting a few days after realising how hard it is to get better gear nowadays. And since I no longer have time from having work and the Firmanent existing, I've chosen to pick it back up and sold some of my creations on the side. It's fun.

I just started and I actually enjoy crafting. But it becomes very costy as a beginner when I have to buy from npc vendors (free trial - cant use marketboard)

I finally get to be early to a video! But yea, I'm still new and only have a few classes leveled up. But just having a few crafter/gathers level 60ish is so helpful.

really loved the cooking story line, I love the cooking job the most out of all crafter, but it's mostly cause it's nanamo based, at least the ending, and I remember just that lol, but my favorite for sure ^^ Also, having all crafters level just to repair your gear is amazing, I did an alt and leveled them just for that lol

I hated myself and decided to level all of my gathers and crafters at the same time. It took me awhile to do that. I honestly did it the hard way because I didn't realize I could turn materials in to my Grand Company, do Levequests, or Ishgaurdian Restoration. I only started it because I really wanted the Fat Cat minion from Fisher retainer without paying the Fat Cat minion price. Now, I love fishing. It is the true end game extreme. I will say the Omicron Gather tribe end hits different after you go back and fight in the lvl 90 dungeon at the end of 6.0.

Started last year. Must have been around level 35 when I thought to myself I'm going to give leatherworking a shot to make sweet armor(glam) and maybe I'd even like the actual process. I pretty much did nothing but crafting for a week straight and picked up every profession besides fishing and cooking to be completely self sufficient. Only after finishing endwalker recently (not as slow as Pint) I started my first tribe questline and I'm glad I chose the current gathering one, since I really enjoy it and I feel like it's a great starting point. Also going to give custom deliveries another go, because the menu seemed really off putting when I first unlocked it and I haven't touched it since.

I typically do leves until 30-40 due to the huge exp, and then transition in to ishgard, and then upon 60 start doing custom deliveries

If you haven't hit max level in a War/Magic job yet, the Gatherers at high enough level can be a way to scope out entire new map zones ahead of your WoL quest lines. It doesn't work everywhere, but being able to scope out areas under Sneak can be very useful.

I want that lopporit dance emote from a hildibrand cutscene as a bloodsworn reward for the lopporit beast tribe quests

This was a great video cause I did no gathering classes nor crafting anything will be doing some crafting when I return to FF14.

Do your best not to burn yourself out.

Thanks for ocerview. Just starting the game and as I love the feeling of providing home-made stuffs to my teammates (old wow fellas), I guess I will probably earn a few of those loots the "hard-way".

Best reward I got from Crafting and Gathering was reaching Saint of the Firmament in Botany during the last Ishgard Restoration ranking season, still working towards it but my end goal is to eventually get the Pterodon mount. Especially right now where we are waiting for 6.3 and there isnt as much to do working through crafting and gathering can be something to fun, the stories are great and there are a lot of cool rewards for different things and other than Pterodon nothing in crafting and gathering is really that difficult to do.

My own characters race lore convinced me to get into it. Can't be a trained solo survivalist with a lv. 1 cooking skill. Or gathering skill. Or some sort of weaponry crafting. Suddenly, before I knew it, I became an omni crafter. The days have been a blur and I can barely remember getting here.

As a Relic mongrel. Custom Deliveries are very nice to do as a weekly for crafter/gatherer scripts to get the crystal sand for a Heavensward Relic.

I actually leveled up my crafting and gathering classes to 50 before I got any of my combat classes past 20. However I did have my son help me by dropping a million gold on me. However since I can craft high quality equipment for all my characters, that's usually the best equipment for any level with melding. Sometimes the dungeon drops are better, but not often. I recommend blacksmithing and goldsmithing first because you can create most tools and weapons with the first, and the second is the one you'll use the most for boosting all your crafting stats. But tbh I recommend doing them all at once. As you level them up there's a lot of synergy. Also, get retainers as soon as you can and level one botanist and miner. If you can pay for it, an adventurer and fisher helps too. But those will keep you from having to farm as much. The crafting quests are all really cute. The goldsmith and weaver are the cutest. The leather and armored are the most schadenfreude satisfying.
