Endgame Crafting-Collectibles-Scrips

[Divine_Intervention]

Could anyone give me a quick laymans how-to on these things? Just hit 60 on my culinarian (plan to do the others when i start making some gil back), got specialist crystal things, and now no clue what's going on.

Scrips - What are they, how do i get them?
Collectibles - Same.. and how do i improve somethings collect-ability?
Other advice, things to do that will improve my gil income and quality of crafting life, my head is still in lvl 50 crafting TBH.

I'm not as fully versed in it as some people are, but the simple breakdown is...

You can craft items to be "collectables" by activating an ability called collector's glove or something. Basically, you craft normally, but instead of "quality" you are gaining "collectability". By looking at your rowena turn ins (either through your log menu, or at the script vendor in idlyshire/mor dohna), you can see the minimum required to obtain red scripts (limited 450 a week), or blue scripts (unlimited).

You can then exchange those scripts for various tokens or items at the collectors in idylshire. So for instance you can get the new masterbooks for blue scripts, and "rowena crafting tokens" for red scripts, which are then exchanged for gear, materials for 2 star crafts, or other various items.

To improve gil, find a market you find enjoyable to make, and do that. Right now I'm earning my money building the custom housing. Its a huge grind, but it kills time, and is leveling up all my crafting skills, and I've sold two of them for 10 million so far. With the new items if you can make them you can make money far far far faster (or even by just gathering and selling to other crafters), but its how I choose to make my gil. I just get people to afk until they DC in my fc workshop after raids and build it all on my own.
