This is a fantastic concept! I love learning the differing crafting methods in the different cultures, its fascinating in any fantasy world. The bit about Deathbringer in the start was also rather exciting, and I'd love to hear more of legendary weapons at some point. Good work! :D
This is awesome! I've always wanted to know more about the lore of the common yet vital part of the life of the people that most would easily overlook! I can't wait for more!
I'm very happy to see some lessons on the lore of of our Disciples of the Hand. While artisans and masters of craftwork are often overlooked in both in our star and in the stories and tales we tell - the spotlight given instead to the heroes who wield, wear and use their products and artworks - the tools, weapons, garments and furnishings that different peoples create, the techniques and philosophies that guide that creation, and the way they influence and are in turn influenced by the world around them, can often tell us far more about the history and culture of these peoples than a hundred legendary heroes' feats and tales of derring-do. I would have liked to have some more focus on the differences in philosophy and approach that different blacksmithing traditions take to their art, rather than simply on the concrete of their techniques, but I suppose there's only so much information that can be compiled into a short lecture such as this - and a wonderful lecture it was nonetheless! Looking forward to more, and hopefully some love for the Disciples of the Land as well!
Oh I’m glad we’ll be covering the gathering and crafting jobs. I’ve done some of the crafting classes such as Culinary, Alchemy and Weaving and at least tried all three gathering classes. But I think blacksmithing will be my next craft to try. I watch Forged in Fire after all and as a consequence know a fair amount about bladesmithing. Perhaps I can’t do it in real life but no reason I can’t in Eorzea.
I play ff14 mostly for crafting and gathering, so thank you for this amazing video! I'm so happy to find someone giving crafters/gatherers the respect they deserve (lol) Keep up your great work!
I do wonder if you could do a sorta timeline video on the origins of each job, both in the DoL/DoH, and the battle jobs. It would be cool to see what era each job came from, as it isn't something I see to often, and seeing you mention when the job came into being is always a neat part of the video. A great video and I'm looking forward to the next one!
Well I do address when each job was created in their respective videos. But if you're asking for all of them to be placed on one big timeline in a single video. Then I can see what I might be able to do later on.
Welcome to the crafting jobs. Though I personally don't feel a big draw for crafting, though I have gotten all of them to the 70s by now. I'm really more of a gatherer when not running a combat crystal.
This is a very good illustration of the work Square put into the lore, to reflect how real world blade forging would interact with the fantasy elements
This is another wonderfully made video and I am definitely going to take up the hammer and file when I next visit Limsa Lominsa, since I have heard that crafters make a LOT of gil.
Definitely want to see more crafting lore videos! I'm a crafting main and find the lore very interesting. Also, you missed an opportunity to make a "keep your eye on quality and progress" pun...
Thank you so much for this insight. I have watched and enjoyed many of your videos so far. I'm really expectant of the Alchemists' video. Thanks for your hard work. :3
Yea... Gunbreaker has only a handful of information. Even the gunhildr's blades only had one gunbreaker and he was barely mentioned. He would be hard pressed to make a video on that stuff without theorizing a ton.
Yo the kobolds were key and making lips elements of the smithing Mecca that it is. The Ixal shared techniques that made airships more efficient/what they are today. It's almost like a Eaorzea has a problem with acknowledging "Beastmen" accomplishments and contributions 🤔
Also I nearly cried when I heard 'quenched in purified water' Water has benefits, like creating microstructures of deep DEEP hardening. But those microstructures in the speed of cooling have a high risk of warping the metal. Using agitated water or water that's been mixed with other things helps to lessen this risk. Many smiths will use oil, or even salt for this reason. Water is kinda High Risk High reward. The crafter in the story must've been a master, and a lowly novice like me cannot hope to rival that confidence. (In all seriousness I only have a backyard for it and only know the very beginning I could be missing out on something. Your story was amazing and your videos are awesome thank you so much for making them)
“Gather around my friends, as we come together and understand what it means to be a blacksmith.” Don’t you mean… craft around? I’ll show myself out now. 😂

leading off with Dark Knight stuff. I approve XD

Cool. Didn't expect a video on the trades. This is a wonderful idea, and I'd like to see more.
As a crafter main, I’m excited for this series 😊

Amazing video and what great timing, given that the results of the recent weapon design contest were announced less than a week ago
And some of those weapons looked really cool!

Thanks for videos! I really appreciate them!

another great video! i didnt notice that blacksmithing uses earth and fire crystals, but it makes perfect sense!
I'm still waiting on the day when we get a
"What it means to be a Gunbreaker."
It's my favourite job, paired with the lore of the Gunhildr's Blades
I promise you that the moment Square decides to publish anything concrete the Job videos will be the first thing on my list.
Yea... Gunbreaker has only a handful of information. Even the gunhildr's blades only had one gunbreaker and he was barely mentioned. He would be hard pressed to make a video on that stuff without theorizing a ton.
@@Ghost200x yeah I try to avoid theory crafting. There's already a LOT of other channels that do that. lol
Love me some crafting lore. Looking forward to Goldsmith.
Yes smiting, what an art. I'm more fascinated by weavers, that doesn't mean that I don't admire blacksmiths and love their creations

A thing of Beauty.
I’m here for it
I wonder how deep fishing is
And dropped at the same day I decided to start leveling Blacksmithing from 80 to 90 xD
Blacksmith was the crafter job I got to level 90 first.
Will we get a what it means to be a Fisher or weaver?
“Gather around my friends, as we come together and understand what it means to be a blacksmith.”
Don’t you mean… craft around? I’ll show myself out now. 😂
