I really don't understand crafting.

Thanks Niwashi!

Do you know of any other good crafting sites? I am just starting out and would like to have a good site to learn about crafting.

Most fan sites have various tools to help you stay organized, but the best way to learn is by doing. Though, I'd say it's a good idea to level all your DoL/DoH together, for a few reasons:

1: Cross-class abilities. Mainly for DoH, you can use abilities from each class to make crafting high-quality items easier.

2: Making items for each other. Most items require ingredients from other crafts or gatherers, but the good news is that items are on a fairly clear level system for the most part. This means the wood your level 20 botanist gathers and the ore your level 20 miner gathers can be combined by a level 20 blacksmith and level 20 carpenter into a spear for your level 20 lancer.

3: Sharing gear. Up until level 50, all 3 gatherers use the same gear, and all 8 crafters use the same gear.
