Actually moon phases do directly affect crafting and gathering. You get considerably better results during new and full moons, depending on your goals. This is almost a 100% certainty. I don't think crafting direction in this game affects anything though, as in FFXI you could spin 90 degrees and go from all breaks to all HQ's, but not seen any difference at all in 14.
