Morning all,

So I've been levelling my beast quests daily since rolling a new char at the end of July. So far I'm making pretty good progress, with only some Silph and most of the Ixali stuff from 2.0 to go.

Thing is, it hit me today, that as a non-crafter, Ixali and Moogle may well be locked off to be permanently? I mean I can get points from doing Ixali deliverance without levelling my crafts, tedious as that might be, but when it comes to the quests to move up to the next reputation rank, crafting is absolutely required isn't it?

I should probably explain. Time-wise, I'm busy enough trying to get everything levelled and geared on a fresh character this late in the game as it is, without having to worry about levelling up crafts. Each of them is a slow grind in its own right, so it's just not practical, time permitting, and even if it was, I think it'd kill the game for me from a fun-first perspective.

So, my question, in short. Is there any way as a non-crafter to level Ixal and Moogle that I haven't considered? Or should I just accept the fact that these are going to be locked off for me forever and give up on beast tribes altogether?

Thanks!
