How people leveled 60-70lvl craftings so fast

I hated Tradecraft Levequest. Since gave low exp as I don't do HQ item.

I work all with Ixali and moogle daily for exp level.

Noticed StromBlood came out and players start leveling 60-70, How they did so fast?

Myself will waiting new Beast Tribe for crafting exp in StromBlood.

Levequest,Grand Company supply missions and collactables.

You answer it yourself, tradecraft leves. Spamming triple turn in leves.

If you're not HQ'ing your crafts, you're doing something wrong - no matter if its for levecrafts, GC-turn-ins or just to use the actual product in the end. Heck, even the normal craft gives you more exp if its HQ!

So yeah, levequests and GC-turn-ins - took me like a week or so to get all crafters from 60-70 since I had to wait for allowances to refill. Also: Crafting quests are giving an aweful lot of exp in SB!

TC, I took my sweet time and finished the last crafter some time ago.

I was making everything in the crafting logs, handing stuff in for Leves when I made everything. Some things I made two of (one for a Leve, one for my personal use), other things I made three or more of (triple leves). *EVERYTHING* must be made HQ. The rest, I merely sold on the marketboard.

A few classes came up short and needed extra Leves to reach level. some (Goldsmith, Weaver especially) had so much extra exp from crafting refined materials that they could have gone to level 80 by now.

TC, the way it works is simple. Know how to craft. Take your Quality from 0 (1%) to max (100%) and you will quadruple the exp gain, plus whatever you get from other bonuses. 10,000 exp recipe via Quick Synth. Take it to the max Quality, and tack on Rested, you get a 350% bonus - or 35,000 more exp, for 45,000 exp just for making the item. Add in a crafting manual (150% while it lasts) and a 20% squadron/FC buff and that 350% becomes 520%, or the base 10,000 + 52,000 for 62,000 exp just for one craft.

Base crafts in SB are worth more than that 10k, too. I’d say, somewhere just around 22k exp, depending upon the exact level of the recipe. I was getting over 100,000 exp with those exact conditions per craft.

The first time around it's going to be a lot rougher than the second or third time through. If you were 60 and doing endgame crafting before SB launch you'd have had a ton of resources to throw at it and wouldn't even need to stop to replace gear much. While not a crafter, I outfitted botanist with full level 60 augmented scrip gear. I'm going to hit 70 without replacing a thing.

It's hard when your gatherers are low(er) levels. It's easy under 50 because every mats are available from NPC.
From experience back in HW, I had learned to level botanist just to satisfy level 58 levequests for CUL.
Some mats especially new node items are rare/expensive on mb, you just have to rely on your gatherers first.

Doing just grand company turn ins, you can get one eighth(nq) to as much as half a level(hq and starred) per day per class(plus any exp earned for the actual crafting of the item). And the class quests were giving roughly another quarter level every time up. So just crafting 1 item per day(per class you want to level) should net you 1-3 levels per week. Start now and you can be done leveling before the year is over!

I'm sure there were Tanks that hit 70 in all 3 tanking classes long before anyone hit 70 in all crafts. For Tanks its knowing the dungeon rotation to level on. For crafting it's knowing the crafting rotation to level on. Once you know it, there isn't anything to stop you from recycling the process.

For you, crafting became the daily beast tribe rotation and that's a good, low intensity method but not the fastest way to get it done. Just keep doing what you do if you don't see it as a competition.

Go do leves. They give really good exp this time around. Very good EXP. The best part is that the lower level ones (60 ~ 64) give almost as much exp as the higher level ones. And each has at least one easily made mat (like lumber, ingot, etc.) Very, very easy way to level. Just make a macro to consolidate making whatever to HQ and click every 30 seconds while you're watching TV or something.

When I was leveling, the only reason I would fail an HQ was bad luck on the wrong skill. I don't think I failed more than 5~10 HQ craft overall

SB leves are so fast. If you do the math and gather all the materials you need, you can make all the items and go from 60-70 in just a couple hours.

In week one most of the leve items came from the story quests. You could buy them in HQ for 10-30k each on the MB

That is a very good answer to the OP question, though sadly it doesn't help much now!

But there is an important takeaway strategy here: check MB for leve items. If they're dirt cheap, buy them and turn them in!

[Disclaimer: this strategy doesn't actually improve your skill as a player, and you might discover that you want to learn how to craft manually at some point, because can be fun and also potentially more effective than just using macros that someone else made.]

If you do end up crafting yourself, SB leves seem to give a ton of XP. Also at some point (for me it was lv68) you may find you want to start the red scrip grind (for master crafting books) at which point you will get lots of XP from synths and turning in collectables. You will also definitely want to do the weekly Zhloe/M'Naago deliveries since they now give XP as well as scrip.

levequests is fastest, in my opinion

I was able to do it mainly by doing the following.

1. Leve quests HQ items. Turn these in HQ for double the rewards.

2. Daily Company turn in HQ as well. If you do all even better you get a nice balance that way.

3. Weekly turn in for Kloey and other one, helps also.

IF you really want a buster, invest in HQ gear and gather your materials, use food for assistance. Also make sure you use FC bonus or XP scrolls if you have them they help. You get a first time bonus as well for first time completion of any recipe.

Basically this. It’s the most efficient way of leveling crafting classes quickly from 60-70, especially if done by individual class. It works well in tandem if you are also leveling gathering classes. The M’naago weeklies are also a good way to level your crafting classes, along with getting extra scripts to boot.

I was leveling my gatherers while leveling my crafters. I don't much use levequests so I would quick synth materials using a squadron manual and NQ Warrior's stew from the vendor in Reunion. I did GC turnins as well.

Took me more than a week though.

I leveled my gatherers while everyone was trying to pass Raubhan Extreme. After I finished the MSQ, I didn't bother touching combat content and just spammed Kugane Levequests like crazy. I gathered or used retainers to gather all of my materials so I didn't spend much.

My boyfriend gathered stuff countless hours for me and I used the vendor item to desinth early items for raw mats ^^ (was expensive but it leveled my desinth at least :D)

i grinded pure mats

with my alts i bought leves always, buy and chill

Grand Companies, Beast Tribes, Leve, Custom Deliveries and Rowena Hand Ins

Bit late (and nothing people haven't already said) but the triple hand-in Leves (even the level 61's) are a significant boost. I can't stand CUL (far too many mats than I'd otherwise like for 90% of the recipes), so even just buying HQ dinners and handing them over for spammable leves was enough to go from 60-70 for me. I don't think I've crafted an actual meal since level 50.

To add more pep, be sure to deliver to the GC (daily), and make a big effort to use HQ items, especially when the delivery of choice has a *bonus. The XP you get will typically be around 30-40% of an XP bar by itself. Failing that, first-time crafts also give a small bonus, so it can be worth to use excess mats to create things at least once (even if you don't need them) provided you've not crafted them before. Failing that, you have the Ixal beastribe DoHand delivery quest, and Custom Deliveries (M'Naago / Zhloe), and never forget your log-bonus every week. In addition, always ensure to be under a food effect and be sure to use the XP Company Issue manuals when you know you can make optimal use of them (eg. no point using them when crafting 1-2 measly items, but definitely use them when you know you're going on a crafting binge).

Don't forget challenge logs, you craft NQ, HQ and melds and you get a decent chunk of exp. Also the Zhole/Mnaago weekly quests nets you exp and scrips.
