I'm trying to level my first DoH, Leatherworking.

However I'm starting to hit a wall. Right now I'm at level 35 leatherworking.
My leve allowances are down to like 6 left, so i wont be able to spam leves. i couldnt make any HQ, and i dont know any level 50 leatherworkers that i trust to make HQ for me let alone i don't want to be an annoyance, so i've been doing NQ because i cant for the life of me make HQ very often. even trying to make items for the lower level 3x leve quests i cant seem to make many HQ items, and people dont seem to be really selling any on the market which is surprising cause youd think high level crafters would sell a bunch of low HQ items needed for 3x leves.

Basically, level 35, running out of leve allowances, and I'm running out gil. my only other option would be to complete the log (i have toadskin and boarskin stuff that i havent completed) and hope it levels me far enough to unlock the next log or something. but im starting to run out gil to do so. I've even been buying the engineering manual to boost crafting by 50% from the grand company.

what do i do? just stop leveling leatherworking and farm for bit and do other stuff for now?

currently im trying to get alchemy to 15 to unlock a skill that could help me reach HQ more often. its at level 10 right now, but to level that i dont want to use up my limited leve allowances and ive completed each craft in the logs already which leaves me with no choice but to buy a lot items and spam crafting, which im beginning to run low on gil.
