Anyone using macro to crafting?

Too bad no fate grinding for crafting and gathering.

still ok i guess.
since the crafting exp quite high

No im looking for them but i guess after the reboot the game is still new not many guides appear yet..

For all those weaver whom is stucked at Diremite Web. Here an alternate way to get those Diremite Web to go forward.
There is leve quest in Ulduar and Quarrymill which gives Diremite web as rewards. It beats camping Benemites in Foulguard much better. The one i did was in Quarrymill where you turn in 3 Cotton Coif of Gathering. It is a level 19 recipe, which you can easily HQ synth it if you have enough control. I managed 85 to 95% HQ bar most of the time, and i can almost get 100% HQ all the time. It is also a multiple turn in levequest, where it only deduct 1 levequest counter, rather than 3. I can get around 30k xp per turn in for 9 HQ coif and about 1.8k gil. Not bad for a quick 10 minute synth.


There is also a turn in for 3 Potions in Horizon, that can net some decent XP for Alchemist. I believe the levequest is for level 10. One of the easier ones, as you get potion for a lot of quest. This one even faster, if you are like me who don't use pots and save them up.... lol The turn in is just beside the levequest giver. Fast and clean!

the turn in is quite random for diremite web as reward...after few turn in, it becomes lightning shard instead for the reward...i heard u can reset the reward by doing the other leve quest as well but i did not try it yet

I managed to get around 2 stack before it shows all Lightning Shard, but i heard the reward is random, if it shows stuff other than Diremite Web, just wait a while and the leve reward will eventually change back to Diremite Web after a bit.

a bit of guide for people using leves quest to lvl crafting...

Regarding which quest can turn in 3 times.

yea as my previous post mention that is not 100% diremite web as reward..i manage to turn in 3 times and it become to lightning shard instead..

Question about GC provisions and supplies. Can you give the items as a DoH and get xp for that DoH? I mean, it looks promising in terms of xp and I can't see any limits for it.

iinm you get xp for the class corresponding to the item. Like if you turn in fish it will give xp for Fishing, even if you turn it in as a weaver.

correct me if I'm wrong.

would be great if I can get tons of xp for crafting without using leve. seeing it drops below 50 freaks me out XD

Do you always aim for more HQ even on lv1 base material?

Im lvling weaver now, the first 2 crafting mat is needed for almost all the item in lv1-10.
Im craft with highest HQ possible, burning those CP and get x3 more exp but its take x5 more time

I am leveling ALC, and i found out the better quality (doesn't matter if it turns into HQ item), the more EXP i get once i craft an item. So try to maximize the quality of the item even if you know the chances of it turning out to be HQ is low. You will get more EXP out of it.

Yea more exp but its slower to craft...maybe if craft ingredient can ignore quality, when crafting higher lvl item, need quality?

Im talking about crafting those lv1/2 base ingredient stuff

just hq it when you need it to craft hq higher lvl recipe
if low lvl just nvm it

Starting crafting, you will be hard pressed to get anything pass 20% in the HQ bar.
This is due to low control on gears and missing on skills like Inner Quiet and Touch.

As you progressed further, you will open up more skills which will help with your synth for HQ.


On a ganeral note, turning in HQ items matter for levequest and GC supply and provision quest.
Turning on HQ items for class quest, the quest you get every 5 level for the DoH you are doing is ignored.

Okay, another question.

Whats the point of getting crafting class? To craft the best armor in game?

Weaver for cloth armor
Gold smith accessory
Armorer for heavy armor
Blacksmith weapon (?)

How much better is the armor compare to the end game dungeon drop and the relic weapon?

I didnt play WOW before, this crafting concept is new to me. I really dont get why need to level up so many side class.

If we can get best stuff from crafting, why run end game dungeon?

You need somone whom is DoH level 50 to help you on your Relic Reborn Quest.
Currently there is no craftable armor which is item level 90, correct me if i am wrong. I am hoping they will eventually introduce some alternative end game gear thru craft.

There is currently up to item level 70 gears obtainable thru crafting...

What about the drop in end game dungeon?

Do we need craft item in order to survive end game dungeon and then those dungeon drop will be better item than craft?
