Currencies are typically cross-toon, and most unlocks are account wide.

I do not believe you can get max omnicrafter in a week in FF as a new player without external funding and direct guidance.
Wasnt talking about if the leveling was diverse or engaging, was referring to how fast it is to level crafters. Shurrikhan used variables that relied on a player being "informed" and knowledgeable in the process to get to max level yet left those same variables out when trying to compare FFXIV crafting. Which is why I went with my angle. Crafter leveling is trivial due to leves or GC turn ins and anyone can easily figure out how to exploit it by going for triple turn ins on crafted items with easy to acquire materials. I originally followed a leve guide for my leveling but once I figured out the pattern, I was able to do the rest of it of my own. Unless we're saying that the average player would be a dunce to figure it out?

And I dont care if you believe me or not, I know from personal experience that crafting progression is by large so easily done and very trivial. Honestly the most time consuming part if you care about getting bis/pentameld (which isnt required) is the pentamelding process of spending materia on RNG.
