Question about the cross skills for crafters

[MrKazilios]

Well the goal for me is being totally independant. Being capable of doing my own build like the 350 ones, my own food, my own potions, my own materia. All those kind of things.

If the goal is independence, then you need to level everything period. All crafters, all gatherers, and at least one combat class. Lets you make your own subcombines. So if you want to make a suit of armor and no one is selling the type of leather used in the recipe(or no one is selling for a reasonable price anyway) you can: kill the animal for the skin, mine up the reagents to cure it, and process that leather yourself.

And for leveling up crafting classes dont forget your grand company turn ins, your weekly custom deliveries, and your beast tribes(ixali for 1-50, moogle for 50-60, ??? for 60-70 probly next patch). Mix those in with leves and collectables plus some good old fashioned crafting, and youll get them all done faster then you might think.
