So i stopped there and equipped all my classes with HQ items that i got from the Market, even i followed a guide and put the Materia, including the over melding, at this point i was able to craft every single thing up to level 58.
    I learnt my lesson and i was updating my gear with every level to up to 60.
    My problem is now i'm level 63 and i am not able to craft any item, probably my gear is not enough, so what i am doing wrong, i wont like to buy my gear on the market, i would like to be able to make my own gear and progress with it. Is it possible?
    If any one know any rotation for level 60 will be great appreciate, I've been checking on internet but everything is very outdated.
    Thanks and please some advice will be great.
    Stat requirements took a big jump going from 60 to 61. You'll see it happen again going from 70 to 71.

    I would recommend buying NQ gear from the vendors in Rhalgr's Reach or Kugane at this point to get caught up on gear. Check the marketboard to see if any of it is being sold below vendor price first - some people will sell off the class quest rewards they receive very cheap.

    Once you have it, you should be able to craft your own as you need it.

    One thing about choosing materia for your gear - CP is important. Being able to add in an extra action usually accomplishes more than adding a little bit more craftsmanship and control to every action. When you're leveling check to make certain you are close to recommended craftsmanship requirements for what you want to make (a little lower is fine), add in what CP you can afford (it's not always cheap) then fill out any remaining sockets with control.

    Ok, so i looked up your character. As of the last update by the system, you were using the archeoskin set of gear(with your tools one step better). This is the level 51 set of "catch-up" gear for people who didnt go through upgrading to the best set of level 50 gear. That means the stats on it are good, but not best(that would be the artisan set) of the level 50 sets. As you said, your stats arent quite good enough to jump straight to the level 61 set, so you need to do an incremental upgrade first. As others have said, you could use yellow scrips to buy the level 58 set(the adept set). But you said you wanted to make your gear, so ill give you a path for that. You said you can make anything up to level 58, so lets do that. Youre going to skip the holy rainbow set, and jump to the ramie one. You dont need to make everything though. Try just making the chest piece(Ramie Doublet of Crafting - 55 craft and 16 control more then your current piece if we exclude melds). Now you arent going to meld these, because theyre temporary gear. From there, try to make the easy level 60 one(Chimerical Felt Doublet of Crafting - which is 20% better then the ramie one). These are both weaver recipes, so you could do the needle or sewing wheel at a higher level to make them easier. From there, you jump to the level 61 "catch-up" set with a Bloodhempen Doublet of Crafting(you guessed it, another 20% better stats then the previous step). If you make it this far, this is when id upgrade the rest of your sharable gear(pants, hat, gloves, belt, shoes, jewelry). We want to skip as many of these as we can for the inbetween steps because they only give us one stat where the tools and chest upgrade multiple stats. But the bloodhempen set is where the rest of your gear starts to give multi-stat boosts. And there you have it, a path to upgrading your own gear to the point you can make all the things.

    Side note: If you want to take a short cut, get enough mats to make the bloodhempen chest twice, and the griffin talon needle twice. Dont try to HQ, just finish both of them in normal quality using every trick you can. Then equip them both, and try again to get the HQ versions(probly needle first, since its a lower level recipe). The BH chest in normal quality has twice the stats your current one does(then add 10% to that for HQ). The griffin needle(assuming you have the same level tools for each class - i got to see your carpenter ones) in normal quality is 20% better then what you have now, and if you can get the hq version that goes up another 10%. Once you have that base, making the rest of the stuff should be easier. Good luck!

    OP, upgrades to crafting leveling gear post 50 (or rather after ARR) typically happens in two level increments (51, 53, 55), (61, 63, 65) etc. The idea behind HQ leveling gear is it allows you to skip a tier of NQ as far as stats go. The only way you are going to get HQ though is to either craft the gear (either yourself, or someone does it for you), or buy it from the MB (crafting/gathering gear is usually really expensive).

    As others have mentioned, you can just buy the NQ stuff from NPC vendors at various hubs and merchants in the towns/villages you visit. This should easily get you the stats you need so any recipes that are grayed out in your log become available. If gil is an issue, then you don't have much option other than to gather your own materials and craft the items yourself. You would need to look at your logs to see which crafting set closest to your level is available for you to craft.

    If you've hit a roadblock here that usually means that you are leveling faster than your resources allow you to.
