    what can i do as a casual crafter for ishgard restoration?

    i only have cul at 70, idk anything about gathering. i have fish at 30 i guess but i stopped cuz it was boring.

    i tried openign the ishgardian log, but to craft even 1 item there, the mats would cost me 300k from the mb

    i thought this was content for all crafters? or i guess not with these prices

    Big problem is right now Crafters without Gatherers are the ones who are having the most trouble.

    I would say personally level a gatherer (in your case Botanist since you're a CUL) and just gather the lower level recipe mats. They start as low as lvl 5 and it'll get you exp as well for your CUL but also will help you level your other crafters.

    It would be best to start leveling gatherers, but you can buy the relevant materials off of the market board. The scrips you acquire can purchase items which you can sell, to offset the cost.

    Level a gatherer. The xp gains are huge and it is super easy to level them now.

    Pretty much. The EXP gain is huge for Gatherers/Crafters now. So you'll prob get to like level 20 in an hour. You can honestly just focus on the low level mats that require only a Botanist and then just start crafting from there.

    I took my BTN and MIN both from 38 to 40 on leves alone and it only took a few minutes.. compared to long time ago where using leves for them were a big waste of allowances and hardly any good xp to compensate. So while they don't have the big huuuuuuuuuuge xp gains the crafters are getting, right now is also the best time to level gatherers.

    You will also need several crafters to be able to craft level 60+ recipes. Unless you're willing to buy overpriced leather or lumber etc...
    Fortunately, it's quite easy to get crafters to 60 with leves and lvl 20-40 Ishgard recipes. But yes, you'll need both DoL to be able to level them without going broke.

    On a good note, CUL is possibly the easiest crafting job to solo level since you generally don't need items made by the other jobs.

    BOT is the most used DoH for CUL except something things like salts from MIN. FSH will come into play as well but if only looking at leveling one for now, you have the right idea in going with BOT. You can mainly gather for xp. You can sell items on the MB to make some gil too. Look at the lower level items being used in the new Ishgard Restoration recipes and focus on gathering those items when possible to sell. You can do leves for some extra xp. Once high enough you can also do collectable turn-ins with Rowena's House.

    I hear its a lot easier to level them now. Good luck!
