Also, crafting is so boring telling someone they need R20 in crafts is probably the best way to make them immediately uninstall the game.
Let's see what you can do with level 1-20 crafting:
Repair low level gear
Make low level gear
Gain profit through creation of low level gear
Cross-class crafting skills
The ability to create on-demand materials
Repairs in the field
etc.

Arguing that crafting is useless is completely short-sighted & ignorant.

Telling me I said he "needed" to have all classes leveled shows a terrible problem with reading comprehension, please read on:
At this point you will have a good base for your character build, you will have gil accumulated from crafting/gathering (sell stuff to NPCs, in wards, etc. If you don't like crafting, sell your shards/crystals.) and you will have a good amount of base experience.
I bolded the important part for you less educated folk.
