RECOMMENDATION: New player myself, but i read somewhere that the leveling progression is more linear with endwalker, meaning the xp difference between the collectibles is often not too big. I would actually recommend to just keep crafting the level 40 collectible till 73. They give me around 360k xp on maximum collectability, use cheaper mats, need less crafting gear and the macro isn't split. The level 60 craftable only gives 100k xp more on maximum collectability, but needs two macros, and is way more expensive. Also spares the hazzle to buy crafting gear for 63.
This guide isn't noob friendly. I just started out today and got to about level 25 when I started to look up stuff about crafting, this one didn't help. Edit: After playing through the MSQ, this isn't quite as difficult to understand anymore. You get to know more and more about the game as you play. Don't prioritize on crafting yet if you're new :)
Desperius i ve a problem. I was new to ff14 and i couldnt find any information that could allow me that the square patches werent available for the steam version. Being the same game, and being played both in pc i didnt know an uncompability was goinh to happen. Thing is i like your content so i decided to give you the code in private so u can give that shadowbringer dlc to another suscriber. I dont know if u ve twitch, but maybe a suscription ti your channel could be amazing. Tell me if u like this or not!! Blessings.
the 26 did not work with 236 cp or anything above it, i had more craftmanship than needed so idk what the problem was, i ended up just changing the macro to one more sythesis and one less touch, but i triple checked the macro and everything
I shared this video in my FC Discord server, we have a several members looking for ways to level up crafters and this guide will be a great help. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
@@RNabuco Do you want an invite to our FC discord server? We play in Coeurl in the Crystal Datacenter for NA. We are very laid back there, so we talk about everything pretty much. If you'd like an invite, I will be glad to oblige.
This has made leveling a crafter so much easier and straightforward. All the macros have been a MASSIVE help (although I did have to tweak them to make them more efficient [no standard touch combo or using waste not II?]). Anyways, thank you again for all your guides. You've made a part of MMMO's that I usually dread having to dive into, a walk in the park.
Just a word of warning for those in September 2020 or past, you won't even remotely come close to breaking even buying materials on the market board and selling what you get with scrips. This is essentially power leveling crafting and it costs a lot (unless you're willing to gather everything yourself)
It cost me 2 million gil for equipment/materials to go from 50-80. Equipment I only bought level 65 equipment and will update around level 80. So probably a 3 mil gil investment for 30 levels. Say I spent 1.5 mil on mats. The Dye is selling for 16k gil. Thats a huge loss. 1.484 mil loss. You have to decide if its worth it for the power leveling. However... you can craft items once you are maxed and earn all that gil back fairly fast.
Desperius, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH. Crafting (outside of tanking) was the most intimidating factor for me in this game. I could never make gil, crafting quests were too hard, and it was something I continued to hold off. I hit 80 today on Culinarian today (not the most interesting crafter I know but still). I cannot thank you enough for the info and macros.
A small note, every craft has a stated Craftmanship recommended or required. Dont confuse these up, you can start a craft with whatever stats as long as they aint marked as required. As a matter of fact, the recommended Craftmanship shown is just a guideline, and you can in many cases do the craft without reaching it.
1. Finish the Heavensward MSQ 2. Complete the blue quests that are level 60 in the Foundation area (near the broken side of the city off to the right of the map) 3. Talk to the NPCs at the Filament area you unlocked until the NPC unlocks Ishguard Restoration in the Special tab of a crafter. 4. Pick up a Discipline of Hand Job 5. Buy weapon and gear / materia to get you from 1-50 (at least) 6. Buy 99 materials of items in that DoH guild merchant 7. Level 1-20 making stuff from the Crafting Log 8. Use Recommended Gear every 5 levels 9. Go to the Ish restoration tab > Grade 2 > Level 20 and buy those items from the marketplace (id recommend enough to craft 20-100 times) 10. Craft the level 20 Grade 2 item from Ish Restoration recipies until you run out of materials 11. Turn them into the NPC at the area where you unlocked Ish Restoration 12. Rinse and repeat steps every new grade 2 level (40, 60, 70 etc) till 80 ensuring you are trying to get to the CP requirements of the macros in the document provided (in description links) Good Luck!
As someone who has played since 2.0 and never leveled a single disciple of hand or land job this guide is a godsend and would like to support further endeavors
Hey man, just a note that the doc you shared has some issues, namely that the 50/53 macro is wrong. It doesn't have Byregots blessing at all and therefore you can't hit the required quality without much higher control. It should be the following: /ac "Inner Quiet" /ac "Waste Not" /ac "Innovation" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Great Strides" /ac "Innovation" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Great Strides" /ac "Byregot's Blessing" /ac "Veneration" /ac "Basic Synthesis"
@@iMarcism most likely, but it would depend on your craftsmanship and control. Do a couple trial synths with it, nice and easy way to test it without losing any mats :)
@@TimoPK I haven't played FFXIV for a while so I'm pretty rusty, but I never knew about a combo action at the level we are talking about here. If it's better that way though then just tweak :) I had no reason to not alternate! Happy crafting :)
Thanks for the video and macros! Really helps a lot, look forward to see more helpful contents such as these crafting guides! It's hard and confusing at first but after im done with my 1st level 80 DOH, it is actually easy to do. Managed to level up all DOH in a few days time as im not in a rush while burning 4-5 mil in the process. Also gained atleast few hundred thousands if not millions (didnt remember how much exactly, maybe close to 1.5 to 2m) after selling dyes.
Hey, danke für den Guide. Ich bin kürzlich erst mit Handwerk angefangen und hab zwar alles solide mit selbst herausfinden rausbekommen, aber die Tips von deiner Community und dir sind echt Gold wert!
I strongly suggest everyone who's beginning to start this guide reconsider, it requires a massive investment and as of now (Aug 2021) it is very hard to make that gil back, the dyes he talks about will not do it. This is powerleveling, only do it if you're prepared to spend a LOT of gil. Nothing against this guide, I'm sure it's the most efficient way to do it, but I'm out a lot of gil and hit a roadblock at the lvl 63 stage where I need to buy more gear to hit the CP requirements. I'm now slowly making my money back selling materials and glam items, but to be honest maybe I would have been better off just not following this guide at all, or even getting into crafting. Just something to think about.
Glad to see I'm not the only one, it was going fine until I hit 63 and the CP breakpoint is impossible to reach, I would have to invest an enormous amount of money to reach it
I think this guide works. But you need to get the mats not off the marketplace but from within Diadem, by leveling your other gathering classes. They phased out some of the mats so you can only get them in Diadem now. Thats why many of the mats cost so much now if you buy em from the marketplace.
It is investment to hit those certain CP requirements on the later levels. I had the same issue I spent majority of my Gil and was broke for a while. What made it a tad easier was buying the materials to make the ironworks crafting accessories. This is still expensive but in the long run helped me level all my other crafting jobs. I highly suggest doing the diadem and sell any material on the market board that you don’t need to make some Gil back. Check your market board to see what things are worth more. Snipe the monsters that net the most currency. The voucher from Ishgard can net some pretty decent profit as well but it’s all rng. Whatever you get from the rewards check the MB to see what they are worth. A good chunk of them are worth a good amount at least for the higher level rewards. Some pets you receive from the voucher sell for a decent price as well. Once your broke it’s kinda hard to get back on your feet. But gathering helps a ton. There is a ton of lazy people who don’t want to farm and rather spend the Gil to get the material. Take advantage of that. If you can’t find anyone who can make these accessories for you for free I can help soonish. I’m currently leveling the job that can make those. Oh and don’t forget to do your class quests for your crafting jobs. They give a ton of xp when you are caught up to your level. This saves some money if you craft all the items needed yourself. I tend to level my jobs to 60 and just catch up on all my quests I missed for the job. By the time I’m done I’m usually close to 70 if not already at 70. You can also try leve quests to level your job around 60ish but this requires to get certain material from the market board. Turning in HQ item for the quest gives you double the xp and Gil.
@@Vexion3 Thanks so much for the detailed reply! I actually have just recently gotten into the Diadem. I noticed that you get scrips really fast from it, and that's really helped me make back some money (almost 1 mil in a day !!!). I'll keep the rest of your advice in mind moving forwards. :)
@@stephenfrog that’s good to hear! And no problem! I highly suggest not leveling your crafter from 70-80 from ishgard unless the materials are cheap or you have Gil to burn. Doing the leves quest in one of the shb zones is cheaper. Check the prices of HQ items if they are too much just try to craft them yourself with HQ if possible. From what I noticed they aren’t nearly as hard to craft as some of the higher level ishgard things. Custom deliveries is also another easy way to level up. May not be fast but not expensive.
FOR THE LEVEL 63: You wont get the goal with just gear and food, what can you do? - Get somebody to craft the hq version of the jewelry and meld all your gear with lvl 4 CP materia. I got to 486 doing this (also using the best current cp food in hq: Chili Crab)
Something is weird with the background music. For some reason, I feel like I should put all my crafting tools inside a cube-shaped box. Maybe add some Materia.
Not needing Manipulation means not needing SB MSQ done. I'm playing through for the first time and in the "just unlocked ishgardian restoration" part of the patches, so not needing to finish SB to get crafters leveled up is a great thing! Wonderful straight-forward video, like always, thanks, Desp!
Just so everyone knows this still works with Patch 5.5. Also make sure during the level 60 macro you get all new gear and meld with Gatherers Cunning to get the CP up with food buff. And lastly the level 70 Macro with 1 part works perfect just make sure you have the 480 CP and also the Craftsmanship to make the item.
Just a quick PSA for those struggling to reach the 478 CP breakpoint for the level 63 rotation like I was: by changing the 2 Waste Nots into one Waste Not II at the beginning, the breakpoint becomes 464 CP instead, making it just a little bit easier to reach :)
Don't know if something has changed, but the macro doesn't work for the 63-71 crafts, despite being above all the thresholds (496 CP, 801 craftsmanship, 770 control)
If anyone is wondering, I tried these macros out with grade 4 skybuilder crafts and they work pretty much just as well. Might need to add another synthesis at the end, though. (depending on your gear, etc)
6.05 UPDATED LEVEL 63: You can use the 40 collectable until 73 with the new XP tiering, however, you will miss out on the Kupo board (and it is def slower XP). Here's a macro you can use which only requires 428 CP and can be used at 63: Part 1: /ac "Muscle Memory" /ac "Waste Not II" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Master's Mend" /ac Innovation /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Great Strides" /e Craft Complete Part 2: /ac "Byregot's Blessing" /ac "Basic Synthesis" /ac "Basic Synthesis" /e Craft Complete
I just want to mention, as a person that is leveling all crafters and gatherers at the same time: 1.) Gathering your own materials is way cheaper and worth it in the long run. 2.) Desynthesis is awesome to get materials, though its less of a help for HQ ones 3.) DO JOB QUESTS 4.) level crafters after gatherers. What I've taken to doing is about a 10 level gap. Level gatherers from 50 - 60, then crafters from 50 - 60.
Thank you so much this takes the stress of crafting class leveling and it works im already at lvl 73 and just short on gil to finish it. I'm in the goblin server and this was way more expensive than mentioned here. All equipment on the market is more expensive than shops and shops gear will take 100k+ at lvl 63 and 200k+ for lvl 71 gear. Materials seem cheap but stack quick and the last step has been particularly expensive. While also running out of crystals which I farmed since its expensive on my market. I started at about 1M gil and im out right now. This could be due to my inexperience with this market but I suggest that you budget around 1.5M to finish your crafter. Other than this it works!
How to get 478 CP? I got 469 with food buffs and materia slotted everywhere I could. Got leveled gear up to 66 besides some 65s and even got HQ gear. Not breaking into the 478
I've personally noticed that in the guide & video the CP values you require for some of the crafting rotations are higher than what you necessarily require. In some places where you use food or otherwise to boost up your CP enough to reach it; I've noticed that just by changing up the rotation slightly to make it a bit more cost effective can yield the same or greater results with no need for melding or food; especially at the higher levels. So this guide might actually need updates here and there (at least on the google doc) and I can try to find you more cost efficient rotations to help manage the money sink (if only by a little bit) for people who aren't strolling into crafting like bilbo baggins and have maybe a fraction of the fortune to try and start these crafts (Personally: I started with 100k to my name lvling everything to 80.)
Please teach me the macros that require less CP, I'm willing to learn. Also like this comment if you ever respond because it will give me a notification.
update with the crafting macros, more so with the level 53 one, put Standard touch between basic touch because standard touch gets lowered to 18 after using a basic touch, saves a decent amount of CP that way
Yeah I don't get this either, did you find a solution to this? I'm capped on CP for every piece and I use Blood Bouill, I'm 3 CP away with food buff....
My Lv 71-80 Macro that worked for me with 438 CP and 3000+ Collectability /ac "Einkehr" /ac "Innovation" /ac "Nachhaltigkeit" /ac "Basisveredelung" /ac "Basisveredelung" /ac "Basisveredelung" /ac "Basisveredelung" /ac "Innovation" /ac "Wiederherstellung" /ac "Große Schritte" /ac "Byregots Benediktion" /ac "Ehrfurcht" /ac "Bearbeiten" /ac "Bearbeiten" /ac "Bearbeiten" I hope it ain't a problem that it's in german
For the early steps around lvl 20 and have a decent gear (around 124 craftsmanship/129 control), if you eat some chili crab (which is cheap) you can do the lvl 40 macro which gives most of the times the third level of rating.
@@iwifia Ragard reach equip and a couple off lvls below market accessories. I thought that this was a little waste either way cause 63-70 goes fast even with previous recepies. for me the gear was really expensive. Push through to lvl 71 gear if you can.
I was just wondering why some of your macros don't use the Basic touch into Standard Touch combo? Also, the level 26 macro I think is broken. I *think* I fixed it, but idk if I just did something wrong. I have met(and exceeded) the minimum CP requirements you have listed. Anyway, I also wanted to thank you for the guide and the macros and provide a little feedback while I level all the crafters at the same time.
Just on the off chance someone reads this and runs into the same issue, the corrected macro for the level 26 section is: /ac "Inner Quiet" /ac "Waste Not" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Innovation" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Veneration" /ac "Basic Synthesis" /ac "Basic Synthesis" /e Craft Complete I had to remove the third Basic Touch as I was running out of CP by the end of it, even with 260 CP. Using the Standard Touch's also increases the average quality of the items AFAIK... Again, I'm new to this so if I'm missing something glaringly obvious just let me know
Hey lovely, thank you so much for this video and informatin. I have one little question, in your macro page it lists lvl 53 as requiring (250 Craft; 322 Control; 292 CP) but in the video at 11:58 you say it requires 356 CP can you tell me which it is please?
Could you show us the gear you are using for each upgrade, that would be much appreciated since I struggled after lvl 60 to fit into the CP requirements on your guide. Thanks.
Same thing happened to me. I hit 63 (and actually 65 now) and still can't reach the 478 required for the lvl 63 macro. I bought everything I could off the market board and melded everything up to max and even with the food was only around 440.
very well made video easy to follow and all, but lets say just someone watched this and didnt get it would you make a leveling for dummies type video? I totally understood everything that was going on here this is just a theoretical question :)
@@DesperiusFFXIV no need of it anymore I have mastered crafting already I guess it was just some terms being used and ur ui looking alien compared to mine that confused me
the lvl 63 macro fails and i dont know why. did they change anything? im 800 craftsman and control. i have 481 cp. it fails on the last step because it cant get the progress to 100%
i am way over the craftsmanship breakpoint in the document, i have 193 while the guide lists 179 for the lvl 26 macro, but when i attempt it it only gets to like 60/73 progress and the craft fails??? I cant figure out how to get my craft any higher, im using materia and food already. what am I doing wrong :(
okay i went ahead and came up with a macro that actually works for me /ac "Innovation" /ac "Waste Not" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Innovation" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Standard Touch" /ac "Basic Synthesis" /ac "Basic Synthesis" /e Craft Complete
Hey, the lvl53 macro in the docs is different from the one you show on the video. Tried both and the docs one reaches ~300 collectability and the video one reaches ~400. Ty for compiling and sharing the info.
Yo man. The lvl63 macros aren't working for me? When I start the part 2 macro it fails because the durability of the craft runs out? I've triple checked my macro imput, my cp is 411 and my craftsmanship is 820 so I can't think what is wrong. Please help
@@SuperKinahead How do you get there? I'm stuck now because I can't reach the CP 478. I bought all the lvl 63 gear from vendors and put in CP materia and still I'm so far off, its unbelievable. 399 without food buff
Great video! But please, please, explain how Specialist Crafter works (Soul of a Crafter) and how to use skills like "Careful Observation" which you get at lev 55. Best regards!
I'm using your macro for level 26 but all of my crafts fail. I have all the minimum values you posted. I'm even using a food buff. It fails at the final step, the progress bar only makes it to 63/74. I have 149 craft, 151 control, 256 cp.
I had the same issue, so I tweaked it to the following: /ac "Inner Quiet" /ac "Innovation" /ac "Waste Not" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Waste Not" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Hasty Touch" /ac "Hasty Touch" /ac "Basic Synthesis" /ac "Basic Synthesis" This should require exactly 256CP. Doesn't guarantee collectability will max, but should top 100. Hope this helps!
I think there is something wrong with the 71-80 rotation. I have used this guide to level 5 crafters to 80 before Endwalker and it worked great! since the sheet was updated it seems that a few of the rotations are broken. I may be missing something though. I meet all the requirements for the 71-80 part, but the craft fails. I am level 72 CUL with the Grade 4 Skybuilders' All-purpose Infusion. Any tips?
Yeah I'm having the same problem on BSM. Level 71, and I meet the expectations completely, but every time I use the 71 macros for the Crosscut Saw it just fails completely, and I'm not sure what to do.
For anyone else who will have this issue, I did aswell with more then 150 craftsmanship and 250 cp. I changed one line and now it works for me. /ac "Inner Quiet" /ac "Waste Not" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Innovation" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Basic Touch" /ac "Veneration" /ac "Basic Synthesis" /ac "Basic Synthesis" /e Craft Complete
I have no clue how to hit the caps you're doing as I have to use the macro that is an lv 50 for 60 stuff cause of the cp. Though I had an lv 20 macro that carried me till 60
I'm so cofised. At the 26 break point, I have all the best gear possible as well as CP materia, but when I use the level 26 macro it fails. Odd thingis the creativity reaches max with excess durabilty, but the macro continues doing osmethin until there's not enough durability to finish the process.
My guess would be due to the CP cost of Standard Touch and other abilities being more cost efficient. But I haven't unlocked it yet, I just looked it up.
@@TehDanny Hes talking about how standard touch uses the exact same amount as basic touch, but only immediately after using basic touch. Its a trait you get.
Oh! Oh!! I have an answer!!! Apparently this combo didn’t exist until the 5.4 patch? Was watching WeskAlber’s crafting guide and he mentioned this in the description
Love this guide but I wish I knew how many crafts per bracket. Like Lvl 63-71 was 38-40 crafts per job. Just for future reference. Keep up the good work.
Personally, once I hit 50 I do a Temple Leve in ishgard. I do whichever lvl50 one gives the most xp and turn in a HQ item. Boom 56 or 58. Then i do either a 56 or 58 Temple Leve that gives the most xp. Turn in HQ, boom 64ish. 5min of effort. Skips all that grinding. For the temple leves you'll most likely need to buy the items it wants you to craft. But hey, time = money. Will i spend 100k to save 2hrs? Yup i sure will. Because just doing 1 solo map each day nets roughly 100-200k more times than not.
If anyone is watching this and wondering how to reach the 478 CP goal at level 60, use Cunning Craftsman's Syrup along with Blood Bouillabaisse. The blood bouillabaisse is HQ and the Syrup is NQ. There's also Craftsman's Tea but that has to be HQ.
Friend of mine got stuck for ages, completing all the Ishgardian Restoration Quests and never unlocking it in Crafting Log. Told me she unlocked it after talking to some NPC that wasn't obvious at all, think it was the NPC that unlocks Diadem for you. Might want to figure that out and include it into the description or google Docs because that's near impossible to find out for new players.
Hi, Desperius! First off, thanks for taking the time to put all of this together, I am excited to try it out. Secondly, at the end of the video you said it cost you approximately 500k gil, and I was wondering. Was that per job, or for all DoH jobs? Thanks!
Tried the second macro but it doesnt work for me although i had enough control, craft and cp. Looks like 179 Craft is not enough (only reach 68/74 with 181).
Thanks for this - I will finish the MSQ to 80 first and then do the crafting - I HATE crafting in games. It feels like something I could do IRL but instead waste my time ingame.
For the Level 71 Macro, the synthesis constantly finished immediately at "Careful Synthesis" (Step 3). If anyone has this problem, change it to "Basic Synthesis" and it should work. At least it did for me. If that still doesn't work, add in "Final Appraisal" (Costs 1 CP) right before it
Yeah... i do beast tribe quests and special deliveries. It's slower but i actually enjoy those. Got all 70+ with two 80. Dwarves ftw! Moogles and Namazu before that. Did lots of leves when getting them to 50 though. I could do again if i wanted to rush, but i'm ok with this. Slow and steady gets it done.
I didn’t know there was a guide like this;-; I stopped crafting because of the rotation was so confusing and any guides were already around lvl 70 but I’m only 30 and suffering lol
Found that I had enough CP with Blood Bouilabaisse (about 331) to just do the lvl 40 Macro at lvl 28. That said, I did upgrade my gear to low lvl 20's gear and high lvl 20 jewelry decked out with materia. The price wasn't too bad, a few thousand gil to match what I already had from doing class quests up to lvl 20
Changed the lvl 63 macro to work on patch 6.0.5. Requires 471 CP:
Macro 1:
/ac "Muscle Memory"
/ac "Waste Not II"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"

Macro 2:
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Great Strides"
/ac "Byregot's Blessing"
/ac "Veneration"
/ac "Careful Synthesis"
/e Craft Complete
RECOMMENDATION: New player myself, but i read somewhere that the leveling progression is more linear with endwalker, meaning the xp difference between the collectibles is often not too big.

the 26 did not work with 236 cp or anything above it, i had more craftmanship than needed so idk what the problem was, i ended up just changing the macro to one more sythesis and one less touch, but i triple checked the macro and everything
tried the 26 at 37 and it worked, not sure what really happened but i met craftmanship and cp requirements
124 m gil?! Omg...
Quick synthesis is now aquired at level 10
I shared this video in my FC Discord server, we have a several members looking for ways to level up crafters and this guide will be a great help. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
can you invite me?
@@RNabuco Do you want an invite to our FC discord server? We play in Coeurl in the Crystal Datacenter for NA. We are very laid back there, so we talk about everything pretty much. If you'd like an invite, I will be glad to oblige.
This has made leveling a crafter so much easier and straightforward. All the macros have been a MASSIVE help (although I did have to tweak them to make them more efficient [no standard touch combo or using waste not II?]). Anyways, thank you again for all your guides. You've made a part of MMMO's that I usually dread having to dive into, a walk in the park.
Just a word of warning for those in September 2020 or past, you won't even remotely come close to breaking even buying materials on the market board and selling what you get with scrips. This is essentially power leveling crafting and it costs a lot (unless you're willing to gather everything yourself)
It cost me 2 million gil for equipment/materials to go from 50-80. Equipment I only bought level 65 equipment and will update around level 80. So probably a 3 mil gil investment for 30 levels. Say I spent 1.5 mil on mats. The Dye is selling for 16k gil. Thats a huge loss. 1.484 mil loss. You have to decide if its worth it for the power leveling. However... you can craft items once you are maxed and earn all that gil back fairly fast.
Desperius, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH. Crafting (outside of tanking) was the most intimidating factor for me in this game. I could never make gil, crafting quests were too hard, and it was something I continued to hold off. I hit 80 today on Culinarian today (not the most interesting crafter I know but still). I cannot thank you enough for the info and macros.
I am glad to help ! More about that topic coming soon
A small note, every craft has a stated Craftmanship recommended or required. Dont confuse these up, you can start a craft with whatever stats as long as they aint marked as required. As a matter of fact, the recommended Craftmanship shown is just a guideline, and you can in many cases do the craft without reaching it.
Oh, I actually haven't known that, thanks for adding !
I can't believe I haven't been using macros this entire time. You are a lifesaver and a scholar beyond words, thank you!
Thank you Joseph!
thank you so much for this! was more than halfway through levelling but this'll really help finish things off 🥰
Hey man awesome guide went from lvl 1 to lvl 80 in about 5 hours appreciate this awesome work
1. Finish the Heavensward MSQ
2. Complete the blue quests that are level 60 in the Foundation area (near the broken side of the city off to the right of the map)
3. Talk to the NPCs at the Filament area you unlocked until the NPC unlocks Ishguard Restoration in the Special tab of a crafter.
4. Pick up a Discipline of Hand Job
5. Buy weapon and gear / materia to get you from 1-50 (at least)
6. Buy 99 materials of items in that DoH guild merchant
7. Level 1-20 making stuff from the Crafting Log
8. Use Recommended Gear every 5 levels
9. Go to the Ish restoration tab > Grade 2 > Level 20 and buy those items from the marketplace (id recommend enough to craft 20-100 times)
10. Craft the level 20 Grade 2 item from Ish Restoration recipies until you run out of materials
11. Turn them into the NPC at the area where you unlocked Ish Restoration
12. Rinse and repeat steps every new grade 2 level (40, 60, 70 etc) till 80 ensuring you are trying to get to the CP requirements of the macros in the document provided (in description links)
Good Luck!
As someone who has played since 2.0 and never leveled a single disciple of hand or land job this guide is a godsend and would like to support further endeavors
Hey man, just a note that the doc you shared has some issues, namely that the 50/53 macro is wrong. It doesn't have Byregots blessing at all and therefore you can't hit the required quality without much higher control. It should be the following:
/ac "Inner Quiet"
/ac "Waste Not"
/ac "Innovation"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Great Strides"
/ac "Innovation"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Great Strides"
/ac "Byregot's Blessing"
/ac "Veneration"
/ac "Basic Synthesis"
Thanks for the macro, will this work if I am a Alchemist(lvl65) cp 432
@@iMarcism most likely, but it would depend on your craftsmanship and control. Do a couple trial synths with it, nice and easy way to test it without losing any mats :)
Why aren't you alternating between basic and standard touch, since they have a combo action to make standard touch cheaper?
@@TimoPK I haven't played FFXIV for a while so I'm pretty rusty, but I never knew about a combo action at the level we are talking about here. If it's better that way though then just tweak :) I had no reason to not alternate! Happy crafting :)
Thanks for the video and macros! Really helps a lot, look forward to see more helpful contents such as these crafting guides! It's hard and confusing at first but after im done with my 1st level 80 DOH, it is actually easy to do. Managed to level up all DOH in a few days time as im not in a rush while burning 4-5 mil in the process. Also gained atleast few hundred thousands if not millions (didnt remember how much exactly, maybe close to 1.5 to 2m) after selling dyes.
Hey, danke für den Guide. Ich bin kürzlich erst mit Handwerk angefangen und hab zwar alles solide mit selbst herausfinden rausbekommen, aber die Tips von deiner Community und dir sind echt Gold wert!
Das freut mich, dir helfen zu können
I strongly suggest everyone who's beginning to start this guide reconsider, it requires a massive investment and as of now (Aug 2021) it is very hard to make that gil back, the dyes he talks about will not do it. This is powerleveling, only do it if you're prepared to spend a LOT of gil. Nothing against this guide, I'm sure it's the most efficient way to do it, but I'm out a lot of gil and hit a roadblock at the lvl 63 stage where I need to buy more gear to hit the CP requirements. I'm now slowly making my money back selling materials and glam items, but to be honest maybe I would have been better off just not following this guide at all, or even getting into crafting. Just something to think about.
Glad to see I'm not the only one, it was going fine until I hit 63 and the CP breakpoint is impossible to reach, I would have to invest an enormous amount of money to reach it
I think this guide works. But you need to get the mats not off the marketplace but from within Diadem, by leveling your other gathering classes. They phased out some of the mats so you can only get them in Diadem now. Thats why many of the mats cost so much now if you buy em from the marketplace.
It is investment to hit those certain CP requirements on the later levels. I had the same issue I spent majority of my Gil and was broke for a while. What made it a tad easier was buying the materials to make the ironworks crafting accessories. This is still expensive but in the long run helped me level all my other crafting jobs. I highly suggest doing the diadem and sell any material on the market board that you don’t need to make some Gil back. Check your market board to see what things are worth more. Snipe the monsters that net the most currency.
The voucher from Ishgard can net some pretty decent profit as well but it’s all rng. Whatever you get from the rewards check the MB to see what they are worth. A good chunk of them are worth a good amount at least for the higher level rewards. Some pets you receive from the voucher sell for a decent price as well.
Once your broke it’s kinda hard to get back on your feet. But gathering helps a ton. There is a ton of lazy people who don’t want to farm and rather spend the Gil to get the material. Take advantage of that. If you can’t find anyone who can make these accessories for you for free I can help soonish. I’m currently leveling the job that can make those.
Oh and don’t forget to do your class quests for your crafting jobs. They give a ton of xp when you are caught up to your level. This saves some money if you craft all the items needed yourself. I tend to level my jobs to 60 and just catch up on all my quests I missed for the job. By the time I’m done I’m usually close to 70 if not already at 70. You can also try leve quests to level your job around 60ish but this requires to get certain material from the market board. Turning in HQ item for the quest gives you double the xp and Gil.
@@Vexion3 Thanks so much for the detailed reply! I actually have just recently gotten into the Diadem. I noticed that you get scrips really fast from it, and that's really helped me make back some money (almost 1 mil in a day !!!). I'll keep the rest of your advice in mind moving forwards. :)
@@stephenfrog that’s good to hear! And no problem! I highly suggest not leveling your crafter from 70-80 from ishgard unless the materials are cheap or you have Gil to burn. Doing the leves quest in one of the shb zones is cheaper. Check the prices of HQ items if they are too much just try to craft them yourself with HQ if possible. From what I noticed they aren’t nearly as hard to craft as some of the higher level ishgard things. Custom deliveries is also another easy way to level up. May not be fast but not expensive.
FOR THE LEVEL 63:
You wont get the goal with just gear and food, what can you do?
- Get somebody to craft the hq version of the jewelry and meld all your gear with lvl 4 CP materia.
I got to 486 doing this (also using the best current cp food in hq: Chili Crab)
Something is weird with the background music. For some reason, I feel like I should put all my crafting tools inside a cube-shaped box. Maybe add some Materia.
Haha, yeah that is a good idea
Not needing Manipulation means not needing SB MSQ done. I'm playing through for the first time and in the "just unlocked ishgardian restoration" part of the patches, so not needing to finish SB to get crafters leveled up is a great thing! Wonderful straight-forward video, like always, thanks, Desp!
Just so everyone knows this still works with Patch 5.5.
Also make sure during the level 60 macro you get all new gear and meld with Gatherers Cunning to get the CP up with food buff.
And lastly the level 70 Macro with 1 part works perfect just make sure you have the 480 CP and also the Craftsmanship to make the item.
Just a quick PSA for those struggling to reach the 478 CP breakpoint for the level 63 rotation like I was: by changing the 2 Waste Nots into one Waste Not II at the beginning, the breakpoint becomes 464 CP instead, making it just a little bit easier to reach :)
Note that you’ll need to move the Master’s Mend to the bottom, right before you use Innovation
Thank you so so much for updating these for endwalker, wuch a massive help
Don't know if something has changed, but the macro doesn't work for the 63-71 crafts, despite being above all the thresholds (496 CP, 801 craftsmanship, 770 control)
getting the same issue
I was looking for a video on this, and I see you've read my mind lol
If anyone is wondering, I tried these macros out with grade 4 skybuilder crafts and they work pretty much just as well. Might need to add another synthesis at the end, though. (depending on your gear, etc)
6.05 UPDATED LEVEL 63:
You can use the 40 collectable until 73 with the new XP tiering, however, you will miss out on the Kupo board (and it is def slower XP).
Here's a macro you can use which only requires 428 CP and can be used at 63:
Part 1:
/ac "Muscle Memory"
/ac "Waste Not II"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Master's Mend"
/ac Innovation

/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Great Strides"
/e Craft Complete
Part 2:
/ac "Byregot's Blessing"
/ac "Basic Synthesis"
/ac "Basic Synthesis"
/e Craft Complete
What is the amount you need to make? I know to 63 it’s 55 each
Thank you for this video, love your videos!
Information I was after was covered in your 5 minute crafting video :)
I just want to mention, as a person that is leveling all crafters and gatherers at the same time:
1.) Gathering your own materials is way cheaper and worth it in the long run.
2.) Desynthesis is awesome to get materials, though its less of a help for HQ ones
3.) DO JOB QUESTS
4.) level crafters after gatherers. What I've taken to doing is about a 10 level gap. Level gatherers from 50 - 60, then crafters from 50 - 60.
Thank you so much this takes the stress of crafting class leveling and it works im already at lvl 73 and just short on gil to finish it. I'm in the goblin server and this was way more expensive than mentioned here. All equipment on the market is more expensive than shops and shops gear will take 100k+ at lvl 63 and 200k+ for lvl 71 gear. Materials seem cheap but stack quick and the last step has been particularly expensive. While also running out of crystals which I farmed since its expensive on my market. I started at about 1M gil and im out right now. This could be due to my inexperience with this market but I suggest that you budget around 1.5M to finish your crafter. Other than this it works!
Just what I needed. Thank you my friend!
Thank you thank you THANK YOU so much for this! This was amazing.
How to get 478 CP? I got 469 with food buffs and materia slotted everywhere I could. Got leveled gear up to 66 besides some 65s and even got HQ gear. Not breaking into the 478
Try to use the Cunning Syrup. That'll help
Same here. Even with syrup and stuff
Just what I needed as I begin to dive into crafting. Thank you!
You are welcome !
I've personally noticed that in the guide & video the CP values you require for some of the crafting rotations are higher than what you necessarily require. In some places where you use food or otherwise to boost up your CP enough to reach it; I've noticed that just by changing up the rotation slightly to make it a bit more cost effective can yield the same or greater results with no need for melding or food; especially at the higher levels. So this guide might actually need updates here and there (at least on the google doc) and I can try to find you more cost efficient rotations to help manage the money sink (if only by a little bit) for people who aren't strolling into crafting like bilbo baggins and have maybe a fraction of the fortune to try and start these crafts (Personally: I started with 100k to my name lvling everything to 80.)
No wonder I can't reach these ridiculously high CP requirements for the life of me...
Please teach me the macros that require less CP, I'm willing to learn. Also like this comment if you ever respond because it will give me a notification.
make sure to get the Manipulation skill, if you fail the lvl 71 one! it will tell you in chat log too.
Man I love your videos! Great job!!!
Thank you for this. Had to make some minor adjustments to the macros but they work well otherwise :)
This makes crafting so much easier for me thank you so much !
is it still available or was this an event?
update with the crafting macros, more so with the level 53 one, put Standard touch between basic touch because standard touch gets lowered to 18 after using a basic touch, saves a decent amount of CP that way
Reasons for Ishgard: It's cheap, AND you want to go for Pegasus anyways...
@Desperius: Many thousand thanks for the macros - they're lifetime savers
thanks so much for this video and especially for the macros. cba to study crafting rotations :D
I want to thank you so much for this guide it really help me out
Desperius: Get as much CP as possible.
FBI: Open up!
Tnx for a grate guide, but got one question, how to get to 478cp at lvl 60?
Yeah I don't get this either, did you find a solution to this? I'm capped on CP for every piece and I use Blood Bouill, I'm 3 CP away with food buff....
An FC member helped me find the solution; Cunning Craftman's Tea

For the early steps around lvl 20 and have a decent gear (around 124 craftsmanship/129 control), if you eat some chili crab (which is cheap) you can do the lvl 40 macro which gives most of the times the third level of rating.
These macros do not work anymore in Endwalker, even with much higher stats than listed in the sheet.
These macros dont work. Why does this video say "updated for endwalker"?
Because Inner Quiet is gone
Edit: Inner Quiet is a trait not a skill.
How are you getting 478 cp at lvl 63? I've bought all the 63 gear and have the food buff and im still 10 cp short. Even at 65 im still short
That was where I was struggling too. I reached it with Lvl 73.
@albertokipi Yeah I am just shy myself, not sure how to even hit this without looking at the HQ gear which is insanely over priced
I did as well but with cp materia and food buff I got there.
@@josevolu What materia and gear did you have? I am about 6-8 points shy myself.
@@iwifia Ragard reach equip and a couple off lvls below market accessories. I thought that this was a little waste either way cause 63-70 goes fast even with previous recepies. for me the gear was really expensive. Push through to lvl 71 gear if you can.
Ishgard Resto makes lvling crafters pretty painless.
I was just wondering why some of your macros don't use the Basic touch into Standard Touch combo?
Also, the level 26 macro I think is broken. I *think* I fixed it, but idk if I just did something wrong. I have met(and exceeded) the minimum CP requirements you have listed. Anyway, I also wanted to thank you for the guide and the macros and provide a little feedback while I level all the crafters at the same time.
Just on the off chance someone reads this and runs into the same issue, the corrected macro for the level 26 section is:
/ac "Inner Quiet"
/ac "Waste Not"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Innovation"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Standard Touch"
/ac "Veneration"
/ac "Basic Synthesis"
/ac "Basic Synthesis"
/e Craft Complete
I had to remove the third Basic Touch as I was running out of CP by the end of it, even with 260 CP. Using the Standard Touch's also increases the average quality of the items AFAIK... Again, I'm new to this so if I'm missing something glaringly obvious just let me know
Upon further inspection it seems like most of the macros in the document are messed up... Am I missing something?
Hey lovely, thank you so much for this video and informatin. I have one little question, in your macro page it lists lvl 53 as requiring (250 Craft; 322 Control; 292 CP) but in the video at 11:58 you say it requires 356 CP can you tell me which it is please?
Could you show us the gear you are using for each upgrade, that would be much appreciated since I struggled after lvl 60 to fit into the CP requirements on your guide. Thanks.
Same thing happened to me. I hit 63 (and actually 65 now) and still can't reach the 478 required for the lvl 63 macro. I bought everything I could off the market board and melded everything up to max and even with the food was only around 440.
Same here. What did you do?
@@Rockfello try food
very well made video easy to follow and all, but lets say just someone watched this and didnt get it would you make a leveling for dummies type video? I totally understood everything that was going on here this is just a theoretical question :)
I am planning to do something like that, yes
@@DesperiusFFXIV no need of it anymore I have mastered crafting already
I guess it was just some terms being used and ur ui looking alien compared to mine that confused me
the lvl 63 macro fails and i dont know why. did they change anything? im 800 craftsman and control. i have 481 cp. it fails on the last step because it cant get the progress to 100%
i am way over the craftsmanship breakpoint in the document, i have 193 while the guide lists 179 for the lvl 26 macro, but when i attempt it it only gets to like 60/73 progress and the craft fails??? I cant figure out how to get my craft any higher, im using materia and food already. what am I doing wrong :(
okay i went ahead and came up with a macro that actually works for me

Hi Des! I think there's a mistake with your lvl 53 macro, I checked and it needs 366 CP and not 356 CP, but other than that, it's perfect. Great vid!
I will correct that, thank you for the tip 😊👍
Did 53 to 63 with no gems or food only 280 cp 410 everytime
Can you do an updated version of this?
the rotation at 12:08 in google docs is missing byregot's blessing
There is some easy to get crafting gear for 50 and below at the grand company vendors.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This guide has been so helpful!
Hey, the lvl53 macro in the docs is different from the one you show on the video. Tried both and the docs one reaches ~300 collectability and the video one reaches ~400. Ty for compiling and sharing the info.
Just a side note to everyone, if the gill sink seems to big go ahead and just finish the MSQ, if you get at least 1.3 mil just from quest rewards.
Crazy helpful still use this now with some alterations
Kinda alterations?
Yo man. The lvl63 macros aren't working for me? When I start the part 2 macro it fails because the durability of the craft runs out? I've triple checked my macro imput, my cp is 411 and my craftsmanship is 820 so I can't think what is wrong. Please help
I am having the same issue. Did you ever sort this out?
CP 478 is what u need for that bruh
@@SuperKinahead How do you get there? I'm stuck now because I can't reach the CP 478. I bought all the lvl 63 gear from vendors and put in CP materia and still I'm so far off, its unbelievable. 399 without food buff
@@MaxnochWeniger need higher gear than 63
@@SuperKinahead So you cant do it as 63 ... why does it say 63 then
Thanks so much for this guide! Would you recommend leveling one DoH class at a time or level all of them simultaneously?
Great video! But please, please, explain how Specialist Crafter works (Soul of a Crafter) and how to use skills like "Careful Observation" which you get at lev 55.
Best regards!
I'm using your macro for level 26 but all of my crafts fail. I have all the minimum values you posted. I'm even using a food buff.
It fails at the final step, the progress bar only makes it to 63/74. I have 149 craft, 151 control, 256 cp.
I had the same issue, so I tweaked it to the following:
/ac "Inner Quiet"
/ac "Innovation"
/ac "Waste Not"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Waste Not"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Basic Touch"
/ac "Hasty Touch"
/ac "Hasty Touch"
/ac "Basic Synthesis"
/ac "Basic Synthesis"
This should require exactly 256CP. Doesn't guarantee collectability will max, but should top 100. Hope this helps!
I think there is something wrong with the 71-80 rotation. I have used this guide to level 5 crafters to 80 before Endwalker and it worked great! since the sheet was updated it seems that a few of the rotations are broken. I may be missing something though. I meet all the requirements for the 71-80 part, but the craft fails. I am level 72 CUL with the Grade 4 Skybuilders' All-purpose Infusion. Any tips?
Yeah I'm having the same problem on BSM. Level 71, and I meet the expectations completely, but every time I use the 71 macros for the Crosscut Saw it just fails completely, and I'm not sure what to do.
Just realized I didn't do my job quests from 60 to 70, I think that's what my problem was. My bad

How did you reach 478 cp at 63? I have HQ lvl 63 gear and jewelry and HQ food on and only 447.
Melds?
I have no idea how you get that much CP. I'm at 60, with some HQ gear with CP materia in all slots, and I'm only at 316CP.
I wanna level my DoH and DoL but they look so daunting to level and it stresses me out so much
I have no clue how to hit the caps you're doing as I have to use the macro that is an lv 50 for 60 stuff cause of the cp.
Though I had an lv 20 macro that carried me till 60
I'm so cofised. At the 26 break point, I have all the best gear possible as well as CP materia, but when I use the level 26 macro it fails. Odd thingis the creativity reaches max with excess durabilty, but the macro continues doing osmethin until there's not enough durability to finish the process.
Same here
@@demuts3087 I ended up changing the macro slightly although I can't remember what to
Question: Why do none of these use Standard Touch after basic? The combo's pretty strong.
My guess would be due to the CP cost of Standard Touch and other abilities being more cost efficient. But I haven't unlocked it yet, I just looked it up.
@@TehDanny Hes talking about how standard touch uses the exact same amount as basic touch, but only immediately after using basic touch. Its a trait you get.
Yeah! I’m wondering this too
Oh! Oh!! I have an answer!!! Apparently this combo didn’t exist until the 5.4 patch? Was watching WeskAlber’s crafting guide and he mentioned this in the description
Love this guide but I wish I knew how many crafts per bracket. Like Lvl 63-71 was 38-40 crafts per job. Just for future reference. Keep up the good work.
Personally, once I hit 50 I do a Temple Leve in ishgard. I do whichever lvl50 one gives the most xp and turn in a HQ item. Boom 56 or 58. Then i do either a 56 or 58 Temple Leve that gives the most xp. Turn in HQ, boom 64ish. 5min of effort. Skips all that grinding.
For the temple leves you'll most likely need to buy the items it wants you to craft. But hey, time = money. Will i spend 100k to save 2hrs? Yup i sure will. Because just doing 1 solo map each day nets roughly 100-200k more times than not.
1 solo map? What is that?
@@Roach_Toast when gathering you can get treasure maps. There are solo maps and group maps
@@Sargaxiist2022 I assume you mean lvl 80 solo maps?
If anyone is watching this and wondering how to reach the 478 CP goal at level 60, use Cunning Craftsman's Syrup along with Blood Bouillabaisse. The blood bouillabaisse is HQ and the Syrup is NQ. There's also Craftsman's Tea but that has to be HQ.
You said to do quick synthesize but I don't see in my crafting log...
Friend of mine got stuck for ages, completing all the Ishgardian Restoration Quests and never unlocking it in Crafting Log.
Told me she unlocked it after talking to some NPC that wasn't obvious at all, think it was the NPC that unlocks Diadem for you. Might want to figure that out and include it into the description or google Docs because that's near impossible to find out for new players.
Hi, Desperius!
First off, thanks for taking the time to put all of this together, I am excited to try it out.
Secondly, at the end of the video you said it cost you approximately 500k gil, and I was wondering. Was that per job, or for all DoH jobs?
Thanks!
I believe that is per Job because I tried and spent around that amount as well. Good Luck!
@@ghijunz Thanks for the reply! Looks like I have some saving to do...
Yeah, it is per Job
Awesome guide, can we get a gathering guide too?
Tried the second macro but it doesnt work for me although i had enough control, craft and cp. Looks like 179 Craft is not enough (only reach 68/74 with 181).
71-80 macro is not working for me anyoine else experience?>
was helpful up til level 20, i have done all the quests in the firmament but i have no restoration tab as you show in your video.
I think its because isghard restoration is complete now
You have to talk to Potkin again and they will unlock.
great vid!! however the google doc for macros won't open..just me?
Thanks for this - I will finish the MSQ to 80 first and then do the crafting - I HATE crafting in games. It feels like something I could do IRL but instead waste my time ingame.
So what do you do? Do you just alternate between using macro 1 and 2, or what? When do you know to use the 2nd macro over the first?
1 year late but... you got the sound clue in the macro to know when its over
@@AhriFae Yeah I figured that out once I started using it. Thanks for the reply though, might help someone else coming along.
For the Level 71 Macro, the synthesis constantly finished immediately at "Careful Synthesis" (Step 3). If anyone has this problem, change it to "Basic Synthesis" and it should work. At least it did for me. If that still doesn't work, add in "Final Appraisal" (Costs 1 CP) right before it

Wait you can buy the mats for the restoration stuff? I thought it wasn't possible
Wow and here i am gathering materials and making Lv. 50+ equipment like a sucker. :P
A bit old but you should add /macrolock at the start of you macro to prevent douclick and so on just a tip
Yeah... i do beast tribe quests and special deliveries. It's slower but i actually enjoy those.
Got all 70+ with two 80. Dwarves ftw! Moogles and Namazu before that. Did lots of leves when getting them to 50 though.
I could do again if i wanted to rush, but i'm ok with this. Slow and steady gets it done.
I didn’t know there was a guide like this;-; I stopped crafting because of the rotation was so confusing and any guides were already around lvl 70 but I’m only 30 and suffering lol
Found that I had enough CP with Blood Bouilabaisse (about 331) to just do the lvl 40 Macro at lvl 28. That said, I did upgrade my gear to low lvl 20's gear and high lvl 20 jewelry decked out with materia. The price wasn't too bad, a few thousand gil to match what I already had from doing class quests up to lvl 20
