Video Guide:How to Power Level Crafting classes

Hey everyone, did a great guide today on power leveling for crafting classes.

Power leveling for crafting guide

Thank you~

Thank you so much for posting this, great videos, very clear instruction!!

glad to help great people :D

-Transfers to Leviathan-
Joke aside, Nicely done!

I just have a question because you said in the video there are always quests with "multiple turn ins"

I just started crafting this week and I started blacksmith and armorsmith and mining to help them. I currently have them at level 20 and I was basically doing exactly what youre showing in the video to get there (ie for blacksmith theres basically the same exact thing in western la noscea with a levemete and the turn in guy next to him)

I havent seen these leves though with multiple turn ins or the npc ask me if i want to submit additional items. Is this something i unlock later or are they just available with higher level leves? Or am I just not going to the right levemete?

It is possible you don't have all leve areas turned in. You can't get a leve quest for something you haven't yet unlocked through one of your fighting classes.

In my experience, its better to do the single turn ins, (hqing of course) and level far faster. And you wont have to spend many resources as 3 pairs of pants. or shards for that matter.

That's the difference, material efficiency or leve efficiency. Leves are often in shorter supply than materials though.

That is a great video. If anything I'd change that from "How to power level crafting" to "How to level crafting". There's no effort vs reward even comparable as far as experience gain.

Indeed. But its far from power leveling. If you could somehow afford hq mats or get them yourself its quite easier to power using singles, but i digress :3.

This is not related to your thread but I am wondering on what setting you have to do to be able to disable the unfilled hotbar? Like on your 2nd hotbar it only show 1 2 and 3 and the rest of unfilled hotbar are hided.

Pertty much HQ the triple turn in leve to get almost a level at any level. Really effective for 40+ since those levels require so much xp.

If you really want to power level a craft, odds are you won't be doing the crafting yourself. I already see people wanting to pay higher level crafters to make HQ items for the sole purpose of leve turn ins to level a craft fast.

power level = leveling while im sleeping for example without touching the pad or kb ( aka i didnt get tired from leveling )

so i dont call that power leveling

but it helps beginners crafters

Haven't fully explored crafting classes yet, so this might prove usefull for me. :)

bump it upps

Thank you so much for this! I was having a bit of trouble leveling my crafting classes and now I'm motivated to level them again! thanks! :D

And where would I go to unlock these with my fighting class? I have a 50 Paladin and my armorer is lvl 17 and all I see is delver 1 of something. I dont see any leves for 3

I haven't been impressed with the 3 turn ins. They give about the same exp as a single. You're doing 3 times the work.

The only real benefit I see is that you get 3 leves for the price of 1.

I think the biggest thing you can do to make crafting not so tedious is to make macros for your most used component recipes. You might not get the maximum xp per craft or as many HQ variants, but you won't want to claw out your eyeballs either.

A 3/3 turn in is about 66% of a 1/1 turn in as a flat rate. when you do them at HQ and full turn in it's a stacked difference that's hand over fist.

12K for 1/1 or 36K for HQ
8K for 3/3 or 24K X 3 is 72K for a leve point.

The only thing that's really time stamped in the game are the LeveQuest points so if you are time stamping your points daily at 3 a day, that's 108K a day or 216K a day.

i just wasted 2 minutes watching the video to see if you had any good ideas ....

Heres a small tip to POWERLEVEL crafting:

Buy cheap HQ items on market.

I.e. buy a stack of chamomille tea HQ for 100 gil each for a bunch of cooking exp.. and you get the gil back too (and more).

I might mis-understand you but I think in your video you are saying leves that requires 3 items will allow multiple turn ins?
But I'm currently leveling my alchemist, and the lv35 leve of 3 hi-potion of strength doesn't allow multiple turn ins, while the lv40 leve of 5 items(forgot the name >.<) does allow.
Just wonder if there is a way to tell this multiple turn ins without actually try it...

Might need the items to have at least one HQ in them.
Anyhow, heres a decent list.

It's pretty much any leve that requires you to travel for turn-in will NOT allow multiple turn ins. For leves that you accept and turn in at the same location, those will always allow multiple goes.

Edit: sorry, mistook what you said for something else. For alchemy, I guess you can tell depending on the yield of the synth itself. Like if it's 3x yield per synth, it's equivalent to 1 for any other item. So if it were to require more than just the 1 synth (3 of that potion), it's probably a hint at multiple turn ins.

You cannot be power-leveling when you aren't using GC books which gives you an additional 50% exp bonus up to 20K/40K on EVERYTHING you make. :p

Leves is one approach, but personally, I rather make unchecked items listed in the crafting log, and get the log bonus. Goal is aim for high HQ % which adds additional exp bonus, 250%-300% with 1K-1.5K per item are typical when you are trying to level low level classes.
