Ch1: A Reason to Craft
Why embark on a crafting journey in FFXIV? There are numerous compelling reasons:
- Gear and Weapon Creation: Craft your own gear and weapons to bolster your Disciples of War/Magic jobs.
- Gil Acquisition: Crafting can be a lucrative venture, allowing you to amass wealth and become rich.
- Glamours and Furnishings: Create unique glamours, adorable minions, and beautiful furniture for your Free Company house.
- Gear Repair: Repair your gear (and your friends’ gear) anywhere, anytime, even during instanced duties.
- Personal Enjoyment: Crafting is fun!
Crafting: More Than Just Stats and Macros
One of the biggest misconceptions is that crafting is all about stats and macros. While stats are important, crafting is much more than that. It’s about understanding the mechanics, making the best use of your stats, and strategically using your actions to achieve the desired outcome.
Ch2: Leveling All Crafting Classes Together
The most efficient way to level your crafting classes is to level them all together.
- Reason 1: Self-Sufficiency: Crafting classes are interdependent. Leveling them all allows you to create materials for each other, becoming self-sufficient and saving gil.
- Reason 2: Gear Sharing: Crafting classes share gear, saving armory inventory space.
Ch3: The Importance of WVR & BSM to Crafting
Weaver (WVR) and Blacksmith (BSM) are particularly important crafting classes. WVR crafts chest pieces and pants, while BSM crafts mainhand/offhand tools, both essential for all crafting and gathering classes.
Ch4: Gathering Classes to Support Crafting
Taking up gathering classes is crucial to supporting your crafting endeavors.
- Miner (MIN): Supports GSM, LTW, ARM, BSM
- Botanist (BTN): Supports CRP, ALC, WVR, CUL
- Fisher (FSH): Supports CUL
Having gathering classes allows you to obtain materials for free, reducing your reliance on the market board.
Ch5: Retainers to Support Crafting
Retainers provide storage space, sell items on the market, and gather raw materials.
- 1st Retainer: Set up as your main battle job.
- 2nd Retainer: Set up as Miner (MIN) or Botanist (BTN).
Venture Coins are what you pay your retainers for them to acquire crafting mats for you.
Ch6: Inventory Space Management
Inventory space can be a challenge. Here are some tips:
- “Open All” Inventory Interface: Access this interface from Character Config -> Inventory Settings -> Inventory Interface.
- Chocobo Saddlebag: Complete the “My Feisty Little Chocobo” quest to unlock 70 additional slots.
Ch7: Craftsmanship, Control, CP, and the Basic Mechanics of Crafting
Crafting involves using “touch” actions to maximize the quality bar and “synthesis” actions to complete the progress bar.
- Craftsmanship: Contributes to the strength of synthesis actions.
- Control: Contributes to the strength of touch actions.
- CP (Crafting Points): Allows you to perform different crafting actions.
CP > Control > Craftsmanship
CP is the most important stat.
Conclusion
This crafting guide descargar provides a foundation for your crafting journey in FFXIV. By understanding the mechanics, leveling efficiently, and utilizing resources like retainers and inventory management techniques, you can become a master crafter.
