How to level DOH

[Giantbane]

So then, it's worth it to level up DOL with DOH as well? If I'm focusing GSM first (only?), I know I'll need MIN - I should keep MIN leveled ahead of GSM then?

First thing should be to get to 15 in every DoH class so you have a bunch of basic cross class skills to work with (can skip armorer if you like).

Should not need to use any leves to get to 15, just sit in the guild and craft stuff using only materials sold by the guild (for cheap) and either sell the results back to the guild, sell it on the market (if profitable enough), or desynthesize it if it's one of the desynth classes you want to level.

And don't bother leveling the DoL class (like mining) to go with it unless you really want that leveled too. That takes forever, especially if you're not using leves (assuming you want to save your leves to level your DoH class).
