Bakc to the topic. Unfortunately on my Server -Twintania (EU)- its expensiv to buy for me (~250k Gil ea.) and all Ingredients arent on the market.

Here my "few" Questions.

Should i "grind" my gathering & crafting jobs to lvl 50 (ARR) to craft by myself and how long will it take? (jusing Leves for them?)

Is it "easier" to craft it with higher lvl - so should i buy the addon to lvl them to 60 (maybe 70)?

On the database its written down that i need "Craftsmanship Required: 391" - on lvl 50 i think its hard to reach this cause i saw just "wep" with just ~100 craftmanship in total i cant imagine to reach 400. Do i missunterstanding something?

Do you have some advise or tips for me as a fresh new player of FFXIV for Relic Wep, or crafting/gathering?


I appreciate your comment. Hopefully you can give me blink of wisdome.

My personal advice: Put this quest on hold til you either can afford the items or have leveled your crafters up "naturally" or made some crafter friends.

The weapon that quest gives you is nothing but novelty at this point.

Ask around on your server, the market board is for the lazy. Usually p2p you can negotiate much cheaper prices, especially if you have the materials.

Yes, it's hard to reach that much craftsmanship at level 50. These were the pinnacle of level 50 crafts.

Having said that, crafting is trivialized by level like anything else. If you level your crafters past 50, it will be very easy to meet those requirements with the gear that is available. At level 80, I have something like 2200 craftsmanship and my melds focus entirely on control.

Waiting is also a viable option. As Vidu said, there's no real need to obtain that weapon anymore. It's just a glamour. You're better off just sticking with the MSQ and getting to expansion content.
