DoL/DoH Quest Stories (spoilers obv)

[Xaruko_Nexume]

Hi all, Ive skipped a good deal of the crafting quest stories ive done so far, but literally nothing else. Are there any crafting or gathering quests that you think are worth reading/watching or going back to? Any of them actually good? What got me thinking was I got halfway through mining and after not really paying attention, seemed like it was kind of intense, actually.

I really liked the 50-60 Alchemy quest line. It's a murder mystery that is the first place where we learn the color of the WoL's aether. The Heavensward Botanist and Fishing quests I feel are also fairly decent. The mining one is alright, but not as good as the other two in my mind. The Stormblood carpenter story is another decent one. Any of the DoL/DoH that makes you deal with Kugane and shows the difference in how they see and do things compared to how it's done in Eorzea to me are good. Leatherworker's Heavensward is nice as it really hits home the class devide that happens with pre Dragonsong War Ishgard and how hard it is to get a foothold in business at times.

I honestly find each story somewhat interesting to me in some way or form.

Personally I enjoy ARR Weaver, HW Goldsmith because theyre both cute romantic stories, ARR-SB Armorer has a nice character arc all the way through, ARR and SB Alchemist both have something that deals with loss especially SB's which ties a loose end with some characters from 1.0

SB Culinarian has some interesting world lore regarding the connection between Ala Mhigan and Far East cultures, ARR Leatherworker is probably the only questline where the GM doesnt treat you like some prodigy and you get meaningful criticisms behind you work.

Overall theres a ton of interesting side stories among the crafters. At least for me
