The Grand Crafting Adjustment Thread

What about skillups. It is so frustrating to farm supplies and do 12 synths and get no skillups at all. I am lv 65 leathercrafter making coeurl leather (cap 71) and get about 5% skillup rate. Considering that the highest drop rate is 17% on the hides means ~6 hours of farming for each level and having to find something to do with 50 stacks of coeurl leather.

If you're going to be trying to do an incredibly difficult synth at a level where skill gains drop off so badly, may I suggest that you do a -little- more research on "what to do with 50 stacks of coeurl leather" if they're REALLY burning that hole in your inventory?

Coeurl Cesti are cap 72 and vendor for a respectable 2K or so each. Enjoy. And just wait till you hit the 90ish range and start treating a 0.1 skillup like you won the lottery...

Skill up food does wonders, and I've heard the Shaper's Shawl gives a 25% boost to skillups, although good luck getting one.

Drop rates are a little bit higher according to FFXIDB. Still, someone else would be able to farm the hides for you if only they could stack, but since they can't, the AH isn't exactly a stable option for selling such a large quantity. So really, if I could change anything to improve crafter's situations, it would be this.

Crafting is a bit of an investment, so sometimes you end up with junk you can't use. That said, I dunno about your server, but Coeurl Leather sells for about 40k a stack at a reasonable speed on mine (Bonecrafters need it for a pair of sets). You could also hold onto it for crafting the Coeurl Jerkin Set, which while it isn't useful, is later crafted into other pieces, such as the Ogre Jerkin Set, or to make a Dusk Mask. Still, it would be nice to see stuff that isn't this useful have more high level usage, such as being able to make some sort of consumable item out of Coeurl Leather since the gear it used to make is mostly obsolete.
