How to Hamlet

[Mattia]

Thank you for this man. I am definitely one of those few who have still yet to touch this.

The big four are as follows:

-Piece By Piece, 45ARM
-By the Book, 4GSM
-Grand Design, 30WVR
-Tricks of the Trade, 30ALC

Don't forget

-Unerring Hand, 30 CRP

Having the two 45s and two of the three 30s means you will be a crafting machine in hamlet. Plus you have no need for gear so you play dress up.

This is a really nice write up, my only issue is your stance on poison. Loose 3 zombies in a row because of poison tics and your suggestion to people might change very quickly.

Took this into consideration and made an amendment to the DoL section. While I have only had the zombie fail one time it is certain to imagine that, if enough people employ this strategy, it will occur enough (probability) that someone will QQ and then post some entitled reply. Thanks for the feedback - this wasn't so evident last night at 3am lol. The good news is that it isn't much of a shift if the DoH and mages are working to help take them down. If anything, it equates to dropping one cycle of poison for the total run (in terms of time.)

Nice topic.
Good Job.

Don't get discouraged by the levels if you're just starting to work on DoH - you can hit 30 in a matter of hours and 45 isn't much worse. The real grind on DoH is the final leg of 48-50. Also, burn leves north of R30 to be efficient since most synths below this are pretty much easy to farm/buy.

Not to derail the thread or anything, but how do you suggest getting to 30 in a matter of hours? Trying to get my crafts up to reasonable levels now and would love some insight.

rested xp + GC xp scroll + + food xp buff + quality xp bonus + around 10 level higher craft = large xp gains

Yep. Then again, that's only practical once you have a good quality-focused set of five abilities, so you have to at least get somewhere the hard way!

very true but getting a few up to 10 (which takes very little time) will help you get a couple quality based skills at least enough to get to 200ish quality quite easily.

Well I've got everything at at least 15 and I think I've only got one skill that assures Careful synth success. Actually there may be one other that increases quality gains but I'm limited to 3 slots for now at such low levels.

Edit: also on-topic, great guide. Definitely going to share this one with my LS.

Hi Yves,

Fantastic Guide! I've been doing a variation on this for a while and it's very helpful to new and veteran players on maximizing Hamlet runs.

You are a true asset to the Final Fantasy XIV community, and hopefully this helps those just starting to be successful and win more often.
