I pretty much ground my crafting to a halt with the mastercrafts, Hiding everything behind a wall of Gil and RNG for melds is a sure fire way to get alot of people to flat out not even bother. Only reason I see to work on crafting classes any longer is to repair my own gear and outfit my lower lvl classes.

Way too much time later, I am now finally a 4 star Weaver. I'm still working on my melds, but with the help of food buffs I can reach the stuff to make NQ stuff, so if you're wanting a craft done for looks then I can now do that. Bring mats including crystals, and then tips are appreciated though not needed.Â
I reckon I spent about 5 million on this because I geared up before getting my last two book-turn thingies into HQ.. But so worth it. |

Worth it? After spending that much of a fortune (to say nothing of the pain and agony of contending with the RNG)? Hmmm!
Really, though, the thread title is way too apt. The Road Through Hell, indeed! |

I've melded my CUL up the wazoo so I can craft my relish way to victory for desynthing and stuff.
After that... oh dear god I need to find an ALC who 4* so I can buy like THREE BOOKS T_T so I can reset my stupid desynths from a long time ago. THEN... THEN... I need to meld OTHER CRAFTS so I can actually mastercraft things. Like LTW. Who I started to do melds for. The only HQ AF melded left on my CUL are the little booties and I'm just.. ; ; SUFFERING. I need to get good at rotations when working with NQ tomatoes ; ; |

I... get the odd feeling that once I start leveling my crafting classes, I'm just gonna stop at 50.

When I read about how horrible four-star was and how ultimately useless it is compared to the Item Level Cliff of Yoshi's Continued Madness, I halted all crafting.
...which is a real shame, because the actual gameplay of gathering and crafting was the most fun I had in an MMO. Another black mark for me on this title, it seems. :c |

I do appreciate the crafted gear having certain perks you don't see normally. The i90 gear was just reskins of the low-level dungeon sets but you could dye them, and the i110 crafted gear is not only unique looking, but the metal armors are vintage FFXI gear (that wasn't easy to obtain, either!). I'm okay with fundamentally-useless gear that looks neat, I just wish the cost-to-obtain wasn't so astronomically high due to the restricted access.

For those who are just leveling crafters to 50, look into leveling all crafts to 15~ and then using them to try and craft the HQ grand company turnins. It's super casual way to get there that isn't just like... GSM crafting those raw stones into stuff lol.
Also the same with the gathering turnins. I've leveled miner from lvl 10 to 43 using turnins. Fishing from 2-37 same thing. Maybe a couple months for it's a super casual way to do it. HQ the orange highlighted ones that you can for MOAR BONUS~ |
