FF14 Advanced Crafting Guide (Part 4 Stormblood) by Caimie Tsukino

On page 150 there is an error in the table. Starting at Inner Quite stack 8 Miracle is 10% too high.

Can you please screenshot what you see? In my version of the document, there's no table on page 150. It's under Ch42: Heavensward New Specialist Skills, and it is just a picture explaining "Finishing Touches". It would be good if you can tell me which chapter you're at as well. Thank you.

Either I am losing my mind or I had another guide open. It was comparing Brow vs Miracle vs Blessing. Never mind then because I can't find the table either. Well if you want some errors to fix: The CP cost of Miracle is wrong on the pages 4, 162 and 231. Sorry for the confusion I caused.

Apparently, the page numbers of yours are very different from mine. Can you please screenshot the errors you see or let me know which chapter the errors are under? OR even copy and paste here, so I know which part you are referring to?

I'm sure that without this guide i'd be clueless on both making the Ala Mhigan stuff and overmelding, thanks plenty!

You are welcome!

Quick note, the link to Part 3 directs to Part 2.

Really ought to brush up on this as my crafters approach 60. Although I've spent the last while playing with them, I might also be taking a break to get back to combat/story content. But I really need to figure out how to utilize new skills. Gonna be some rearranging of cross skills in my future I expect. Definitely want to move out of my Hasty Touch phase.

Also, I totally thought the 35/70 durability crafts were because I was lower level/stats for some reason. This might change things.

Fixed. Thanks!

I would just stick to Hasty Touch until level 66. You need Manip2 (lv 65) and Prudent Touch (lv 66) to move out of Hasty Touch spam.

Hm. Yeah. My CP's still pretty low for most rotations. Food and more CP melds would help, but probably not totally worth it.

So, gear-wise, what am I looking forward to as I get stuck at the end of HW before I actually make it to SB? The gear section of the guide felt a little unfinished. I don't see any Ironworks there, but that also sorta looks like more work than I should bother with now that 60 isn't cap. Easiest to just work up to the Augmented __Keep's gear? The i170 accessories look like a lot as well. Not sure that's something I can aim for without going the full penta-melded route, is it?

You might be able to get away with just riding the 58-60(white) set until you hit 61, then upgrade to that set and skip all the 60 upgrades. The higher end recipes would be a challenge, but you can get through 60 without actually diving into the deep end if you dont want to.

Augmented Keep's gear is rather close in stats to HQ level 65 gear, all but the accessories. While the level 60 scrip accessories have the same cp as the current best level 70 accessories, they lack the materia slot that makes them outclassed by a single cp+6 materia in the HQ level 63 accessories.

If you would like you can technically go for Ironworks, but as you said it's not current and it's rather close in stats to HQ level 61 gear which is much easier to make.

I guess it all depends, do you want to grind for red scrips? Like, 2650 red scrips? Then 2000 red scrips for every single other class? If so, go for that keep set. If not, I'd recommend waiting until level 61 and making or buying a set.
Do try and go for that handmaster's belt though, it's outclassed only at 66 (only beaten at 63 with overmelding)
