    Best craft for blue and red scrips?

    What craft item should I be checking for to show up that's a good ratio of easily farmable mats to scrip gain? Ideally one without dissolvents or other hunted mats. My retainer can only work so fast. Red will probably need some, but I'm hoping blue can avoid it.

    Thanks!

    The best craft for red and blue scrips is the omnicraft. The items change daily, they may or may not have a bonus giving more scrips ... These things, and your personal material availability all affect what the "best" thing to produce for scrips is. Being able to make everything for scrips means you are not limited if one class has some bad RNG for scrip items in any given week.

    I personally find that CRP and then ALC tend to have the better items for red scripts.
    They are less cumbersome to make in terms of mats and usually have pretty high red script value (37+ per collectible so it take 9-12 crafts only).

    I'm not limited, but there has to be some hierarchy of items to keep an eye out for when one of them goes on bonus. There are clearly certain turn-ins that are better than others. I'm just asking if anyone knows the "best."



    Also for red I would prefer GSM or CUL mainly due to their ability to fit more cross-class skills and use maker's mark, otherwise I'm fighting an unnecessary RNG risk of hitting a lower scrip tier, or dropping something else to fit the MM/FS combo onto another class.

    Deep-fried okeanis. Wait till its starred. The ingredients are super cheap and most can be brought by retainers.

    I would do birch rod or birch fishing rod. (Alc too is great) As for blue scrips marron glacé has really cheap mats, but it was nerfed so I am not sure what is optimal for blue.

    For red scrips, I generally keep an eye on things on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, looking for something that I can get at least 50 scrips for. I don't care what it is, how hard it is to get the materials for, only that it takes 9 or fewer collectibles to do my red scrips for the week.

    Failing that Sunday night I'll make whatever gives the most.

    Personally, for red scrips, I do Noble Codex's. If they're starred, you only need to do 10 of them. I do half HQ and half NQ for the mats, and it don't take long to make them. I do the mat stuff during the week. I also tend to sale the stuff that makes them (whether it be the raw mats, the ingots, or stuff that uses similar mats) and use the hardsilver nugget when I'm SBing stuff so it's works out for me.

    As many others have already said, CRP or ALC have the highest Red script reward, thus, fewest items to craft.
    CRP - usually has Birch Rod or Birch Fishing Rod, the only remote annoying mat is Growth Formula Zeta on the Birch Rod because you have gather the Red Quartz yourself.
    ALC - usually has the Nobel Codex or Nobel Gold, all mats can be gathered by a miner retainer.

    If you prefer GSM, i would tell you to keep an eye out for the Aurum Regis Planisphere on reds. It has the 2nd biggest payout that I can remember(of the GSM items), but the mats are far easier then the Aurum Regis Staff(highest payout on GSM). Ill also second the person who mentioned the ALC books(Noble Codex/Noble Gold). One of those is all GSM mats aside from an ink, the other swaps a gem for a single leather - and both pay pretty well too.
