    HQ items were not removed. HQ gathering was removed.

    K ty. Makes no sense if you can't gather HQ items that you would have to try and craft HQ items for the quests. I guess I mis understood that. Thanks

    HQ crafting is pretty easy especially at low levels. The removal of HQ gathering was to ease the load of inventory strain.

    Just a friendly reminder that you don't need HQ mats at all unless you are crafting items that are beyond your crafter's level.

    Even before lvl 20 with really crappy gear, there are ways to make HQ items:
    http://ffxivrealm.com/threads/tricks...r-lower.12584/

    Ideally, just level up a bunch before you do those class quests, and you'll find those items to be ridiculously easy to HQ.

    If you need help with formulating rotations, feel free to visit my guide:

    The following chapters may be useful to you:

    You might want to revisit them, since Manipulation is locked behind the level 65 quest for each crafter respectively. While its certainly possible to craft without Manipulation its a pretty useful skill all the same.

    Also of note... the level 63 and 65 crafter quests use untradeable materials. You have to HQ them yourself.
