Crafting same ilvl items than me HQ?

[Ksenia]

For sure get others to 15 and use food. Careful Synthesis can eat a lot of dura if you have a low craftsmanship. I am often required to use 5 steps to get to 100 with CS II. Weaver learned rotations are a bit different than other classes because of how we gain CP for quality but lose dura surplus.

Gratz on the HQ tho.

Recap what others have said.
1. Make sure your gear is upgraded to the best it can be (just for easier HQing).
2. if money isn't an issue (not sure where you're at overall in game), get some Control and CP melded into your gear AGAIN: ONLY IF MONEY ISN"T AN ISSUE
3. You're Single largets benefit is going to be HQ sub-components. At that point you'll never HQ without HQ mats. Woolen is a biiiitach beacuse those little sheep not only
are heavily contested but don't give up the HQ goods often.
4. I personally DO NOT like Hasty touch. Maybe it's cause I don't have Steady Hand II but RNG hates me so I definitely fail WAY more often. I personally use.
Inner Quiet->Great Strides->Steady Hand->Advanced Touch. Rinse repeat. At this point I use Good Condition for extra quality because I don't need the CP regen for lower level gear but you may use Tricks of the Trade for a CP boost.

Thanks for the advice, now I am lv42 WVR, next level I'm gonna get Advanced Touch, and I am lv15 ALC, GSM and lv16 LTW, so I have Tricks of the Trade, Manipulation and Waste Not.

Now that I have those 2 abilities my rotation are different from before:

When the craft is low level, I just spam Great Strides>Standard Touch, then Standard Synthesis if Careful isn't enough.

When it is 100+ progress:
Great Strides
now I can have red light on the first, second, or third step after this, so if it's on first, Standard Touch, if it's on second, Standard Synthesis>Standard Touch, if on third Standard Synthesis>Steady Hand>Standard Touch

When it is a REALLY difficult 80 durability recipe:
Great Strides
Standard Synthesis/Brand of [element]
Steady Hand
Standard Touch
Great Strides
Standard Touch
and repeat until 10 durability having just to do one synthesis more.
During this difficult recipes, I usually use Tricks of the Trade on every Good condition I can.

ONLY IF MONEY ISN'T AN ISSUE

I now have 20k gil, some days ago I had 96 gil.
Yes money is an issue XD
Levelling up a craft without money is damn hard DD:

[Githiun]

Yeah I, I sunk so much money into crafting early on. It hasn't been but in the last 2-3 weeks that money really isn't an option. I've got roughly 400k in the bank atm and have sunk about 300k into materia for my lvl 50 Carp and Weaver gear.

It gets easier. I make 95% of my money from making weaver gear.

Well, I'd really like to earn some gil when I hit lv50 WVR, does Vanya HQ crafting make good gil?
I don't think I can lv50 other craft without at least 100k gil each :/

Depends on the server you're on but generally average profit. You won't be able to HQ Vanya as soon as you hit 50 WVR without other classes at 50. CPT is almost a must. ALC helps lower CP requirements. Also, you need some melding to even attempt it. Level a gatherer would ease up the cost on leveling a craft but even then, I don't find money too much of a necessity to level craft these days, just leves allowances.

[YanDere]

WVR requires a lot of mats that come from mobs drop, like Diremite Webs and Fleece.
I can earn 4 webs each leve allowance, but this isn'e enough when I have to craft multiple HQ Velveteen recipes.
The fastest way is to buy from the marketboard, and this takes lots of gil, on Ragnarok NQ Fleece is 500 each.
Now I am out of leve allowance and 3 every 6 hours is just too slow for me to get WVR to lv50.
Any suggestions?

In your case, I would level a Botanist, gather Flax, make Linen Hat (from a leve in Ul'dah called Crunching the Number) x9 and turn in for 215k EXP per turn-in all HQ.

It's not that easy to make HQ linen gear, for a lv42 WVR...
I think I might HQ 1 out of 9 of them.
I leveled up from lv20 to lv40 just making Cotton Doublet Vest of Gathering for "Doublet Jeopardy", 30k each vest.
