This actually started with a tangientially-related question I have, which is regarding the writing materials of Eorzea.

From the names and descriptions of certain in-game items, we can tell that Eorzeans (and the Au Ra tribes of the Azim Steppe) use parchment as a writing material. What I wanted to know was: do they also create and use paper? It seems logical that they would; they have the materials and the technological capabilities to manufacture paper on a large scale.

Also, I can't imagine the elementals would be too happy about people slaughtering animals en masse just to make parchment.

But anyway.

From here, I wondered, if parchment/paper exists, then which craftsman trade is in charge of making it? Presumably it would be CRP for paper and LTW for parchment, guilds which happen to share a home city. Traditionally, though, craftsmen have been far more specialised in their respective trades than the umbrella terms of carpenter, leatherworker, etc.

For example, glass is a common material in Eorzea, and glassblowing is an entire trade all its own. Yet, none of the 8 crafter classes we have so far seem to include glassblowing as part of their scope. What other kinds of craftsmen have we not seen yet?
