Best sequence to level up crafting jobs?

[Highlanderx]

All crafts to level 15. Then culinary to 37. Then it depends on how much money you want to spend. If you keep then all about the same level they can all use the same gear(except tools of course) and you don't have to purchase any item needed from other crafts can just make them yourself.

Skill wise(level 50s). you want Weaver or Carpenter 1st and 2nd. Weaver is a little less useful, when leveling other crafts since you already have a 100 progress skill(weaver level 15 skill). Then Goldsmith. Then Alchemist. That will give you all the skills needed to 100% HQ 2* gear with 340Craft(use food when doing the 40 Dur mats), 340Control and 373CP(Use food)

At low levels I feel I'm better off using my stacks of Inner Quiet on Rumination than BB on 40 dur items. If I use BB, then it takes TWO turns to finish the progress bar using Careful Synth. With Rumination, I can use ONE TURN of Standard Synthesis (and have the CP for Steady Hand if I need that too). Ideally, I'll use BB, and have steady hands up, and the CP for standard synth... but it seems like it doesn't work out that way as often as you'd hope.

Ideal:
Inner Quiet
Steady Hands (need SH2 to eliminate rng)
3 touch skills - probbaly basic touch to save CP
Master's Mend
Touch
Steady Hands
Touch
Byregots Blessing
Standard Synthesis

Real:
Inner Quiet
Tricks of the Trade
Steady Hands II
Standard Touch because you got good condition
Basic Touch
Standard Touch because you got good condition
Master's Mend
Standard Touch
Steady Hands
Standard Touch
OOPS!! Not enough CP for both BB and Standard Synth so, Standard Touch
Rumination
Steady Hands
Standard Synthesis
Basically, you have to substitute Basic Touch for Standard Touch in order to save the CP for standrd synth at the end. So using BB does come at a cost of using basic touch instead of standard touch TWICE.


If you need to use Standard Synth to complete progress in one turn, while the other synths take two turns, then the 'free' CP from rumination is even more valuable.

If you're going to use that many Standard Touches and Master's Mend, you're better off gambling with Great Strides on Goods/Excellents.
