Is there a way to find all of the Blue+ Quests without going to each individual area?

I'm diving into leveling all the gatherer and crafting classes.

Is there a guide around that would help figure out everything I'd need to get via gatherers so crafting will be straight forward?

EDIT: Sucks I missed out on the old preorder earring...will make this rougher

It's like 30 leves per crafter class to get them from 50 to 60, and about the some for 60-70. If you have money and no time, just getting someone to make you a levekit and cheesing the whole leveling process is damned quick and easily doable before 5.0 drops

Thanks for this. Been looking for info like this since I am currently attempting to level all my crafters from 1 (all of them are currently 15).

EDIT: Any similar guides to avoid leve usage if you have gathering classes available (at least for 15-50)

Don't use gathering leves period unless you're absolutely desperate for XP. You're better off mindlessly grinding away until you hit like 54 I think? Then you can do scrip turn ins all the way to 70.

That is actually what I've been doing for gathering classes (mindlessly grinding).

I meant a guide to avoid crafting leves if I have gatherer classes leveled up to help collect materials.
Mainly because I'd burn through my allowance just getting one class to 50.

if you're on excal:
level 15-50 levekit
300k if you include all mats (intermediate, not raw materials)
450k if you include all mats (mostly raw materials)
850k if i provide mats

you have to provide a link to one of the sites with a list of what you want and how many of them (garlandtools, etc)

I see. I'm on Leviathan so out of luck there.
May just look into crafting it myself. Should hopefully become easier to HQ once I get Culinary to 37.

Enjoy. (I mean that unironically! Figuring out crafting rotations as you level and clear stat thresholds is probably the most interesting part of crafting.)

Yeah I'll have to mess with this. A shame I can't import (it appears broken right now) and have to setup each crafting tab separately.

jalapeno_dude posted:

Crafting log is pretty straightforwardly just going though and checking off everything. Note that there's a bunch of 50-starred stuff that actually counts for completion and requires mats from unspoiled nodes, so start gathering darksteel ore/gold ore/silkworm cocoon now. http://www.ffxiv-gathering.com/20.php is your friend. You're also going to need approximately a billion granite for housing items; hope you have a mining retainer. HW crafting is also pretty awful in terms of having to gather lots of hidden/timed mats. If you're just going for the glowy tools you get to skip ~10 items per class; use this to avoid some of the glam/housing items that have expensive mats. If you plan on doing alchemist you're going to need to deal with all the items made with flowers; if you grow them yourself it'll take several weeks. Assuming you go slow enough or have enough retainer+inventory space to hang on to housing/glamour items long enough for them to sell in slow markets, you will probably come out gil-neutral or gil-positive, especially if you can also desynth things, but expect to have to spend ~5-10 million gil initially even if you're doing almost all the gathering yourself.

For fishing log bounce around between https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Fishing_Log, http://ff14angler.com, and http://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com. You will need to do both big fishing and spearfishing, unfortunately.

Thanks for info. If I read correctly, I don't need to worry about mastery items. Are there any other sections that can be ignored?

Any tips for pushing desynthing for Armorer, Weaver, and Goldsmith from 300 to max? Dungeon drops from leveling classes to 70 helped me get to that point, but now I guess I need to find a method to push up to the point where I can desynth Ghimlyt Dark drops.

Tank (WoD Tank set)


Healer (Midan Coat of Healing)


I like the coat, but I am iffy on the collar...but I think I found a workaround

Goal of getting all classes to 70 before expansion hits seems possible (63 Bard, 63 Machinist, 66 Black Mage left), but doubt I'll be able to push my Armorer (330), Tailor (300), and Goldsmith (320) to 390 desynth in time.

Anyone familiar with Stormblood launch know if required materials to craft everything in 71-75, 76-80, and the new housing stuff is put together before the patch actually hits? Would be handy to have so I can level gatherers through just gathering the materials needed.
