Gridania needs a 3rd crafting class

[Gunspec]

leveling it otherwise is problematic at the moment.....

Soon to be remedied in patch 3.1. I'm in the same boat with my armorer desynth.

But hey, you can get an item called "better crowned pie" from the guy in mor dhona that trades lucis tools. You trade for them with the lv45 levequest mats and moonstones. I had a stack of moonstones reserved for lucis weapons I never made, and dumped them into pies. The pies are desynthable by culinarian, and are equivalent to roughly ilevel 90. That was the item I used to get myself over the culinary hump.
