Barrier to entry for crafting is to damn high.

Gatherer materia is super easy. Just hit the legendary nodes with a spiritbond buff active. Add durability for more spiritbond hits.

Thank you for the advice. Gathering isn't really a problem for me atm (Though I loathe FSH lol), I'm just getting gathering scriips so I can gather mats rather than buy them so I can craft the more efficient
crafter collectables.

something to also keep in mind...

if they follow their pattern, late 6 expect new crafter gear, akin to Aesthete's in Shb

properly melded this will likely last well into 7. if they do, highly recommend making it if you can. (it usually has some crazy material requirements, but is well worth it in my opinion if you are going to do a lot of crafting)

make HQ Calamari Ripieni, adds 120 craftsmanship, 82 CP

it will help immensely in making your stat goal
