Inappropriate equipments?
Reread the post.

On most things I don't have an issue completing a synth without the "required" support. But on things that I can actually get good SP on, it makes a huge difference on success. My most recent example is that I wanted to make some Iron Nugget with Blacksmith, so I could make Iron Square for Armorer. The Nuggets take Guild Support to improve success.

I can understand why the option isn't there. Why would a camp have the same Equipment as a Guild? If you want that kind of support you gotta go to the source. At least we can get Common Support from anywhere. Honestly, if it's not believable I'd rather not have it. There really shouldn't be the option to get Guild or Master support from anywhere other than the Guilds. Thank you SE for not spoon feeding us.
I am not complaining about wanting to sit and grind a craft in a different city. I think it is ridiculous to have a LOCAL LEVE that requires GUILD SUPPORT (In case you don't know, that is the second level of support (Common->Guild->Master) but is for a city without that guild. I have to carry the leve around, or god forbid I actually want to do all 8 at once with different crafts, I need to accept it, run or tele to the other city, get support, make it, run or tele to the camp in the other zone to drop it off.

Of course, then I have to remember to deliver it next time I am in Limsa (before picking up new leves), and this would be quite inconvenient if I actually could find 8 rank appropriate crafting leves to fill my journal with each reset.

There are plenty of recipes that do not require guild support, so why not just use those for crafting leves in cities without the guild?
This is the exact purpose of me starting this topic.

Eitherway, I've found very few synths worth leveling up on that you couldn't either A) grind through with proper books or crafting abilities. or B) level up on a different synth.
Yeah... I think we know how to get basic support. With basic support and the training book purchased, I still have a very hard time completing a single synth for 400sp on a local leve required guild support. I want the guildmarks, I can't just "level up on a different synth" you have to do it to finish the leve.
