Recommended cross-job crafting skills?

[Nerfworthy]

CUL has the "most" skills but CRP and ALC are also very important. When someone asks me what to level first, those are always my three suggestions. However, with the new abilities Stormblood added, it's entirely possible to go all the way to crafting end game with only one class.

Thanks, this helps a lot. I was stressing over trying to get numerous DoH to 50 before even attempting 50-60 or 60-70. I'd really like to get CRP up first though, because most of the housing items I want are made with it. I'm glad to know it's possible!

Those 3 are certainly the easiest to solo, too. You may struggle a small bit with 2 star crafts, and we don't know how 3 star and up will pan out, but you're good to go for almost everything else.

Does Byregot's Brow (level 51 DoH skill) make Byregot's Blessing (level 50 CRP skill) useless? It seems like it takes less CP and has a higher base bonus, but gets less from IQ stacks. Is Blessing still better because you tend to pile up more IQ stacks?

While you are right about Brow having a higher base Efficiency, you never want to spend your IQ stacks early since it's a waste of CP a majority of the time. And since most people use Blessing as a finisher you'll very likely have enough IQ stacks for it to come out on top.

Blessing becomes better past 6 stacks of IQ, where it gives 220% Efficiency VS Brow's 210%. If you manage to get 11 stacks then it becomes 320% VS 260%, which is quite a big difference with the Control boost IQ gives.
