Hi, all! I’m glad I get to sit and do another guide for you guys amidst the Lucis grind, lol. I need a brain break and a lot has changed since 2.4! And as much as I wanted to do a comprehensive post for 2.45 (as a lot of changes were made to make things easier for you, the aspiring crafters reading this post!), alas, time did not permit me to do so. So here I go for 2.5, making sure to add in those changes along with the new ones!

Anyway, this guide is going to be for everyone… from the fresh green-sprout players to the endgame crafters (sharing my pain) who are just looking for a couple tips on what others do. As with last time, I’ll be glad to answer anything that I missed in the comments, too, so let’s make a discussion out of it. ALSO, as was requested in my 2.4 post, I will be incorporating gathering this time around! So let’s get into it.

As with my 2.4 post, I’ll be breaking this one up into parts:

BEGINNER(Leveling): Leveling one or more crafts or gathers to 50, leveling desynthesis!
INTERMEDIATE(Gearing up): What to wear? What to meld? What now?
ADVANCED(High-level desynth, first main hand upgrade): Artisan/Forager level!
MASTER(3-star & 4-star crafting): Supra level crafting/gathering!
LUCIS(The vanity of master crafting/gathering): Because we can? :)

Happy crafting, gathering, adventuring, loitering… whatever you happen to be doing!

BEGINNER(Leveling)

From spending time on the forums, we see a lot of the same questions popping up everyday, so let’s start this off with some FAQ, shall we:

Q:Why do I keep hearing that I have to get all of my crafts to 50?
A: Good question! Yes, you will hear this a lot, and I will tell you that to be a MASTER Crafter (which is the end goal of this post, haha) it is a MUST. To put the answer short: Why? Cross-class abilities. For anyone new to the game, cross-class abilities are abilities unlocked by leveling a class (whether it be battle, crafting, or gathering) that can be used by some or all other classes in that category. This proves to be extremely valuable when crafting and will make your crafting journey exponentially easier in the long run. I’ll get more into which abilities are recommended to be prioritized later, but for now just know that getting these abilities unlocked will be a HUGE quality of life improvement as you work toward becoming a Master Crafter.

Q:Is it worth it to get into crafting? Gathering?
A: I’m biased. I will say yes, lol. Of course everyone’s play style is different (please see here), but jokes aside, there is a lot of value in leveling crafting and gathering. For one, it’s a means of becoming self-sufficient. It is also a decent (and sometimes great) way to make gil. Crafting and gathering also add a different facet to the game that makes it a more rounded experience. Like battle, crafting and gathering have their own end game. Just as with each battle content patch you have the top raiders going after the big kill first, with each crafting content patch you have Master Crafters clamoring to get the new shinies first and get first dibs on the market. Or just get flashy new items to /pose around in. Crafting and gathering have their own set of achievements, their own theorycrafting. It’s another game within the game that we already know and love. So is it worth it? Hell yeah, it is.

Q:What is desynthesis and why is it important?
A: Desynthesis was added in Patch 2.3 to allow crafters to destroy all of our hard work. Kidding. Kind of. Desynthesis is really a way of obtaining items that would be otherwise unobtainable, through the destruction of other items. It is also (though much less so) a way to hopefully get some of your materials up if you muss something up and NQ something you meant to HQ but have no use for as NQ. Here in Patch 2.5, the cap for leveling desynthesis is 350 with a max level of 110 for each class. This means that you have the ability to max out three desynthesis classes. So unlike leveling everything else in this game, with desynthesis you are forced to specialize to be of value with high-level items that have rare desynth drops. When you get into top-tier crafting and gathering, desythesis becomes extremely valuable for obtaining Mastercraft Demimateria and Fieldcraft Demimateria IIIs. Again, I’ll get more into this later, but note that it is absolutely important for endgame crafting/gathering and progression. You know, unless you want to spend millions upon millions on the market board.

Q:Can I just specialize in one craft?
A: My answer to this has changed over time, but I’ve finally settled on an answer that I will keep until they change everything up on us. YES. You can specialize in one craft. BUT. The catch is that you will still want to level everything to 50 for cross-class abilities. Once that is done and done, then if you only want ONE Supra, ONE Lucis, by all means. That’s your prerogative. :) Though I will say that now with Artisan’s and Forager’s gear… you have no excuse. Your other classes are geared, too, anyway. ;)

Alright! So now that we have those out of the way, let’s focus on leveling.

CRAFTERS
***********
There is a formula that you will see tried and true floating around “how do I level crafting…” here on reddit. That formula is get everything to 15 > get CUL to 37 > get CRP to 50 > get everything to 50 (or something to that effect). Here is why. Cross-class skills for crafting classes come in three tiers: Level 15, Level 37, Level 50. Getting everything to 15 unlocks that first tier of skills which are, quite frankly, already going to make your life a LOT easier. The best way to do the 1-15 grind is to go through your crafting log and try and complete one of everything in there. And don’t just try to complete it… try to HQ (high-quality) it.

FOR OUR GREEN SPROUTS AND NEW CRAFTERS
Crafting uses three stats: Craftsmanship, Control, and Crafting Points (CP). It also relies on the Durability of the craft. Craftsmanship handles what’s known as Progress: how many steps it takes to finish the craft. Each craft in your crafting log has a set amount of Durability and also a set point Difficulty (the amount of Progress needed to complete the craft). This determines how many steps it will take to complete your craft. Without the use of abilities, a craft with 40 durability gives you 4 steps to complete it. A craft with 80 durability gives you 8 steps to complete it. The higher your Craftsmanship, the more points you get toward meeting your Difficulty point goal. So when you do your first craft, it may take you two synthesis steps (you will have an ability known as Basic Synthesis to do this) to complete the craft. However, as your level and Craftsmanship in your gear
