What i'm doing wrong

I'm leveling all my crafting classes at the same time, i realized that i was better because they compliment very well each other.
I rushed to level 50 and i found out it was a mistake because i was not able to make any recipe, even the class quests. So i stopped there and equipped all my classes with HQ items that i got from the Market, even i followed a guide and put the Materia, including the over melding, at this point i was able to craft every single thing up to level 58.
I learnt my lesson and i was updating my gear with every level to up to 60.
My problem is now i'm level 63 and i am not able to craft any item, probably my gear is not enough, so what i am doing wrong, i wont like to buy my gear on the market, i would like to be able to make my own gear and progress with it. Is it possible?
If any one know any rotation for level 60 will be great appreciate, I've been checking on internet but everything is very outdated.
Thanks and please some advice will be great.

Gear is where all your stats come from.
As you level up, things get harder to make and you'll need better gear.

It's the same idea behind battle classes, it's a linear growth. So it's likely not (entirely) your rotation, it's probably the gear.

Now you have a couple of choices here. You can make your own gear since you have everything leveled, or your can buy it. You say you don't wanna use the market board, well there are NPC shops that'll sell you NQ versions of crafting gear. Enough to get by, at least.

Make sure you include your stats with these requests, it makes it easier to help with a working rotation.

CP 428 with food, Control 485, craftsmanship 512.
My idea is to be able to craft my own gear, i mean nobody level up all the crafters to just buy the craft to other people, but right now is impossible to me at level 63 craft my HQ items.

and i like the idea of everything getting harder, but i would like to be able to improve by myself and make my own gear, because i could buy it to a npc or to other player or ask in my FC to someone craft to me, but i dont like this i would like to make it, do you get me idea?

One thing that some new crafters don't really understand that is a good time-saving tip is if you are just trying to get exp, you only need to get around 15-20% quality, after that you aren't really going to get enough or even any extra exp that makes it worth the time/effort. The exp-per-hour drops drastically doing all the steps to hq, rather than just getting 15-20% and finishing the item. I would only go for hq crafts if I was doing grand company turn ins or something, but outside of that I just got the 15-20 and never saw enough of a difference to do all the extra steps. I also stayed in my lvl 50 set til I got to 60, then my 60 til I hit 70 and then my 70 again til I hit 80, so you can make them, but you cant really hq them without lots of luck.

At least it used to be like that, if that's changed I am sure someone will correct me.

and where can i get a set at level 60?

Idlehsire (scrips) or the marketboard

Your current gear is ilevel 51~, so you definitely need some more power to HQ the ilevel 63 gear (unless you're okay with NQ'ing the 63 crafting gear).

I'd check if the MB has low cost crafting gear or just NQ a set of the i63 gear yourself with Muscle Memory, Veneration, Careful Synth spam. It's better than what you got now.

From there, you can probably HQ an i65 set with the NQ i63.

Vidu was referring to the "Adept crafting set":
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Adept%27s_Set

You can purchase it with yellow scrips. Earn scrips it by turning-in collectables at the Appraiser NPC. To make collectable items, make sure you click the "collectable" button before you make the items.

If you have been leveling all your classes together, you should just make your own gear sets... That's probably the easiest thing to do.
If you can't make the level 61 set, make the level 51 set first to upgrade yourself in terms of stats.
And if you can't make the level 51 set, make the level 45-48 set first.

In terms of rotation, you should start learning "phases" and "combos" in a rotation. Study the tool tips of each button more closely to understand your arsenal better. Then develop your own ways of combining the actions.

Stat requirements took a big jump going from 60 to 61. You'll see it happen again going from 70 to 71.

I would recommend buying NQ gear from the vendors in Rhalgr's Reach or Kugane at this point to get caught up on gear. Check the marketboard to see if any of it is being sold below vendor price first - some people will sell off the class quest rewards they receive very cheap.

Once you have it, you should be able to craft your own as you need it.

One thing about choosing materia for your gear - CP is important. Being able to add in an extra action usually accomplishes more than adding a little bit more craftsmanship and control to every action. When you're leveling check to make certain you are close to recommended craftsmanship requirements for what you want to make (a little lower is fine), add in what CP you can afford (it's not always cheap) then fill out any remaining sockets with control.

Ok, so i looked up your character. As of the last update by the system, you were using the archeoskin set of gear(with your tools one step better). This is the level 51 set of "catch-up" gear for people who didnt go through upgrading to the best set of level 50 gear. That means the stats on it are good, but not best(that would be the artisan set) of the level 50 sets. As you said, your stats arent quite good enough to jump straight to the level 61 set, so you need to do an incremental upgrade first. As others have said, you could use yellow scrips to buy the level 58 set(the adept set). But you said you wanted to make your gear, so ill give you a path for that. You said you can make anything up to level 58, so lets do that. Youre going to skip the holy rainbow set, and jump to the ramie one. You dont need to make everything though. Try just making the chest piece(Ramie Doublet of Crafting - 55 craft and 16 control more then your current piece if we exclude melds). Now you arent going to meld these, because theyre temporary gear. From there, try to make the easy level 60 one(Chimerical Felt Doublet of Crafting - which is 20% better then the ramie one). These are both weaver recipes, so you could do the needle or sewing wheel at a higher level to make them easier. From there, you jump to the level 61 "catch-up" set with a Bloodhempen Doublet of Crafting(you guessed it, another 20% better stats then the previous step). If you make it this far, this is when id upgrade the rest of your sharable gear(pants, hat, gloves, belt, shoes, jewelry). We want to skip as many of these as we can for the inbetween steps because they only give us one stat where the tools and chest upgrade multiple stats. But the bloodhempen set is where the rest of your gear starts to give multi-stat boosts. And there you have it, a path to upgrading your own gear to the point you can make all the things.

Side note: If you want to take a short cut, get enough mats to make the bloodhempen chest twice, and the griffin talon needle twice. Dont try to HQ, just finish both of them in normal quality using every trick you can. Then equip them both, and try again to get the HQ versions(probly needle first, since its a lower level recipe). The BH chest in normal quality has twice the stats your current one does(then add 10% to that for HQ). The griffin needle(assuming you have the same level tools for each class - i got to see your carpenter ones) in normal quality is 20% better then what you have now, and if you can get the hq version that goes up another 10%. Once you have that base, making the rest of the stuff should be easier. Good luck!

OP, upgrades to crafting leveling gear post 50 (or rather after ARR) typically happens in two level increments (51, 53, 55), (61, 63, 65) etc. The idea behind HQ leveling gear is it allows you to skip a tier of NQ as far as stats go. The only way you are going to get HQ though is to either craft the gear (either yourself, or someone does it for you), or buy it from the MB (crafting/gathering gear is usually really expensive).

As others have mentioned, you can just buy the NQ stuff from NPC vendors at various hubs and merchants in the towns/villages you visit. This should easily get you the stats you need so any recipes that are grayed out in your log become available. If gil is an issue, then you don't have much option other than to gather your own materials and craft the items yourself. You would need to look at your logs to see which crafting set closest to your level is available for you to craft.

If you've hit a roadblock here that usually means that you are leveling faster than your resources allow you to.
