Curious about the DoH/DoL jobs...

Awesome thanks for the replies. Now I have a good starting point fir what to aim for first. On a side note is it possible to level everything together both my BLM and my DoH/DoL skills and keep myself geared adequately? I know aetherial gear and the like is better but seems rare to come across for me right now. I'm lvl 38 atm with my BLM if that makes any difference

So the answer to this is yes for the most part. Recipes and requirements are fairly well aligned level wise. Let me get an example. In a few levels you might want to upgrade your chest piece to a Felt Robe. That is a fairly average level 46 robe. The recipe is made by a weaver, at a difficulty of level 44. The materials to make it would be collected by a miner in the low 40s, a botanist in the low 40s... and a couple of drops from mobs in the high 30s. This pattern is fairly consistent at most levels. Things are gathered and made basically at the level they can be used. And if you do well, your crafted gear can be made at the High Quality level, where all stats are +10% - making it better then any normal vendor items(and close to if slightly worse then dungeon drops). The points where this pattern breaks is at the cap levels. When you get to 50(and later 60, and one would assume 70 in a couple months) the game starts introducing new currency-based armors. Run content, get currency(there are different styles but tomestones are the most common), buy the gear you want. There tend to be some intermediate crafted gear at said cap levels, but they are often harder difficulty recipes to make and not at the same level as the highest currency gear. So that is something to keep in mind.

And of course, any classes you decide to level later you would also be able to make equipment for to smooth out the leveling process.
