July started well for MMORPG gamers as this is when the newest game in the “Final Fantasy” franchise, “Dawntrail,” was launched. Players have been exploring the game and enjoying it.
At the heart of all raid groups in “Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail” is a Crafter. They take charge of creating gear, items, and consumables using the materials and recipes they gather. Without the Crafter, players wouldn’t get access to these items and would be less likely to clear early content.
But how do you actually level Crafters in the fastest possible time? Here are the best ways.
1. Leves
The number one quick way to level a Crafter in the game is Leves. It’s fast and efficient in leveling the jobs, allowing you to earn upwards of a third of a level for one turn-in.
Yet, the big appeal is this. If you turn in a top-notch item, like a piece of gear, it doubles the rewards you unearth. So, say the reward is about three million EXP. Turning in a high-quality piece boosts that number to six million. Considering each level necessitates between 13 and 23 million EXP to level, this means you’ll go through them at the fastest possible time.
But there’s a caveat. The challenge is in crafting the pieces since each gear is generally intertwined. That said, you must level certain Crafters and Gathers on equal footing. Here’s the tip. Make good use of the market board and purchase the best gear. If you have gil, this remains the quickest way to level Crafters.
2. Grand Company Turn-Ins
The other option is with Grand Company Turn-Ins. It is ideal for the time you invest since, like Leves, you can turn in top-quality items to get more EXP.
Aside from that, you can even earn upwards of 10 million EXP, doubling that even if an HQ item is handed over. However, note that this hugely depends on the hot item for today. Essentially, the idea here is similar to Leves but limited to just one item for each job. It’s a good method that will let you reap the benefits in the long run.
Furthermore, this way scales based upon your level. For instance, if you’re in Level 98, you must turn in a Level 98 gear. To do this, simply proceed to your registered Grand Company, such as Twin Adders, Maelstrom, or Immortal Flames. You can turn in the best deliveries if your rank is high enough, y.
3. Custom Deliveries
That brings us to the third way: Custom Deliveries. While limited, they are very beneficial in so many ways for leveling your Crafting jobs. Right now, there are 10 various Custom Deliveries across Eorzea. Each of these deliveries carries its unique story and characters. They require distinctive crafts, though, and you can’t simply purchase them off the market board like how you did for Leve and Grand Company turn-ins. But don’t worry. They are straightforward to craft, even at lower levels.
Custom Deliveries are not the best, so the number of turn-ins you submit each week is limited. You are only allowed up to 12 turn-ins weekly, unlike Grand Company turn-ins, which have a daily reset. Considering that each turn-in here is about two million EXP, calculating things, you can generate one to two levels every week, provided that you focus on a single job.
The greatest benefit here is that even the lowest-level Custom Delivery client will bestow you the same amount of rewards as the latest, higher-level client. Find the Custom Delivery client with the “BONUS” stuck next to the item to get it. Then, simply go ahead and craft it. The rewards are priceless.
4. Raw Crafting Grind
This method is the least expensive but the most time-consuming, which is why it’s last on this list. The amount of EXP you can earn for each craft, especially if you can craft the best quality items, is significant, earning you thousands of EXP per craft. You may put on auto-craft, and though this hands out less EXP, your effort will be far less. That said, you can simply purchase or gather a specific item, like fleece, ore, or logs, and then enable the auto-craft. Next thing, you’ll walk away with the rewards.
Moreover, if you want the most immense rewards with high-quality Crafts, you can utilize macros to ease the burden. Begin by crafting a simple material, one to two of them, that requires items such as ingots, lumber, and hides, among others. Then, record your actions through a macro. While you must consider factors such as random quality enhancements, it is quick to generate your own macros.
Wrapping up, leveling Crafters in “Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail” in the best and quickest ways possible requires you to fulfill this checklist: efficient gathering, maximizing daily and weekly quests, utilizing crafting rotations, and using macros. For more support and resources, you must prioritize high-yield recipes, take part in crafting events, and participate in crafting-focused Free Companies.
With these strategies, you can efficiently level your crafting classes. This way, you always stay ahead in the game and enjoy all the benefits that come with being a skilled Crafter in the world of Eorzea.
