    That guide Hobbit linked seems pretty good, it has throrough explanations and even offers rotations, if you want to just use them. However be warned, every craft is different in how it plays out and depends heavily on rng, so a set rotation has no guarantee to be of help, the keyword to crafting is flexibility.

    As a starter, I'd recommend leveling up the other crafters for their cross class skills. Even with all the lv15 skills you can already pretty reliably HQ items.
    More in depth, the skill you wanna be aiming for and that will accompany you even til 60 are:
    ALC - lv15 Tricks of Trade
    BSM - lv15 Ingenuity, replaced at 50 with Ingenuity II
    CUL - lv15 Hasty Touch
    optionally
    GSM - lv15 Manipulation, will mainly be used in low level rotation
    CRP - lv15 Rumination for low levels, won't be used in high lvl rotations

    If you want to level classes higher, here's what you want to go for first:
    CUL - lv37 Steady Hand II
    ALC - lv50 Comfort Zone, a must have for high level crafting
    CRP - lv50 Byregot's Blessing, another must have
    BSM - lv50 Ingenuity II
    CUL - lv50 Reclaim, great if you see you won't make the HQ and don't wanna lose your mats
    GSM - lv50 Innovation, not all classes will have enough cross class slots to fit this in (it depends on how many skills the class has itself and how many you have to take as cross class skills)

    That's it for the start, as I said, you can already pretty reliably HQ stuff with the lv15 skills, the high level skills just make your life easier. What also helps a lot is to start off with HQ materials.
    Best of luck, have fun crafting and don't get discouraged if stuff doesn't end up HQ all the time, as said before, there's still a lot of rng to crafting.
