    Cobalt Rivets ~43. Cobalt Mesail to 50.

    That seems like the most obvious path. You can even squeeze out some extra exp by dying the mesails.

    I haven't done Armorer yet but I intend to.

    I know you don't want to hear leves, but they are the most ideal method through the 40s.

    You have to spend something at this point. Gil (to buy mats), time (to farm mats), or Leve allowances.

    Through the low 40s they'll reward 2800-3500 upon turn in. The 45+ leves should reward about 4000. The 40s are where where leves really shine for crafters.

    2 Dated recipes: Iron Poleyns to 40 then at 40 do iron greaves, level 50 synth.

    Iron Poleyns: Iron Square x2, Buffalo Leather Strap x1
    Iron Greaves: Same as above

    They may be a lot of shards for synths, but it really isn't that bad. I thought it was, but once you do it it isn't bad. You can hasty hand the iron squares. You get x12 iron sqaures for 3 iron nuggets. I bought like 3 stacks of iron nuggets and got about 7 stacks of squares. The straps are a low level ltw synth(21), one buffalo leather gets you x12 straps so its nice also.

    Hope this helps.

    I gave a leatherworker 700k to make me 10 stacks of straps, and I made 20 stacks of iron squares. That got me from level 40 -50. (I wasted a lot of money because I used half of those mats before the crafting experience revamp patch.)

    Also, this didn't warrant its own thread. Had you simply have looked in the armorer section you would have come accross my thread http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Armorer-35-50
