fresh 60 gatherer question

i have all 3 gatherer classes at 60 with a full trailblazer set except the chest which is an ironworks, also have most crafting classes at 60 except the chest which is also ironworks. iam not a very good gatherer/crafting so i was wondering if anyone could give a few helpful tips to get me in the right direction to getting better gear without buying it because iam pretty broke after buying both chests i only have 5 million gil left. trying to get some better gear so i can starting crafting some high level items so i can start making lots of gil but i dont have the first idea where to start

You can buy gear with gathering scripts. They're better than IW in regards to base stats when augmented. Their weakness, though, is not being able to be melded.

Try this guide for collectables, helped me much for the rotation.

With the blue srcips from collectables you can buy i180 gear for each of your gatherers (belt and accessoires are shared) and with the red scrips you can buy the goblin dice to upgrade this gear to i200.

The i200 is a bit less effectiv like a full melded ironworks but much cheaper, to get, you just have to spend some time for the gathering of the collectables.

what about crafting rotations? i see plenty of level 60 rotations for high end star items but does anyone have any basic leveling rotations for 51-60 mainly around the 55 area, i managed to get all my crafting classes to 50 no problem using a simple rotation but after 51 that rotation doesnt even come close to getting me a HQ item. i took most of my crafting to 60 via moogle daily but now i need to do the crafting quests and i cant even HQ a simple holy water to save my life

Have an old text file from when I started. May not be 100% accurate but it is a good starting point:

Comfort zone
tricks of the trade on good/excellent
inner quiet
steady hand 2
waste not
4 hasty touches
cs2 again if needed
mastermend
steady hand 2
waste not
hasty touch x4 (or sub ONE for precise touch)
steady hand
great strides
innovation
byregot's blessing
cs2

For 70/80 I start Maker's Markinto -> Comfort Zonefollowed by using up all of the available uses of Flawless Synthesis

For crafting you can use this guide.

I just craft casual and i try to get the Progress till i can finish with on action (mostly "cearful synthesis") and then get as much Quality as possible (mostly "Steady Hand II" and "Hasty Touches" with different methods to restore Durability) till i have to finish.

i cant seem to wrap my head around crafting but thanks for the help anyways
