Diremite Webs

[harkinate]

Finally hit 30 with WVR today..not quite done yet but I should have enough Webs to carry me through.

At Quarrymill there's a level 25 Levequest, I forget what it's called, but they ask you to make "Initiate's Slops" (http://xivdb.com/?recipe/539/Initiate's-Slops).

I just made about 25 of these (I had a lot of levequests banked for such situations) and I got 11 Diremite Web from every turn-in except for 2. Maybe I just had good luck, but I'm now sitting at level 30 with nearly 200 Web left.

I still have a lot to go for the 750 synth achievement at this bracket, but that can wait until I'm 50 and wealthier to get the Web I need for that.

Hope that helps someone!

A boost in the drop rate for diremite webs would probably help. I finally got into a good groove of farming the ones east of Fallgourd, but it took forever to get enough webs to continue crafting, and there were times I'd go 10-11 fights in a row without a single drop.

I farmed these for about 2 nights in a row, enough to get 2-3 stacks of them and maybe half a stack of high quality. Thank you for the notes on the leve rewards in Quarrymill. Thankfully, in my case, 2-3 stacks was just enough to get me through to linen. I used the leves in quarry mill to keep a decent stock of them.

To get through those levels, there is a leve you pick up in ul'dah for a velveteen cap of gathering or crafting and deliver in quarrymill. I found this very easy to HQ and the exp was more than your usual, probably because delivery was in Quarrymill (like enough exp to get almost half a level at 28 and 29). As more botanists are getting to levels 31+, the price of flax is going down.

I finally got through those levels by turning in the cotton leves while using the diremite webs to replace my crafting gear. I actually sold most of the velveteen cloth for some nice profit.

Flax was easy enough because I could gather it but now I'm on fleece which means more farming.

At least there's a choice of several locations to hunt for the webs. Including a dungeon. Only one area in the whole game for Aldgoat stuff.

This does need to be addressed Diremite web is a nightmare if none of the leves are offering and the Diremites are being heavily camped.

Fleece and all of leatherworking are worse. You can easily get to 28 off a few cotton leves. Taking Flax/Linen from 28 to 50 is a nightmare in terms of time and fleece is more expensive because its used for Wool AND Felt.

I took Weaver to 47 with Linen, and finished with Felt.

Definitely wasn't too time consuming, took like 5 days and I didn't use many leves (15 total or so). I even had work during these five days!

[Zetonegi]

5 days is definitely time consuming and 15 leves is a lot for crafting considering 1 leve allowance is a ~70k or ~95k with no HQs depending on if you're doing the 35 or 40 linen triple leves. That's over a million xp from the guildleves. I farmed 1000 flax and did 11 leves too and coupled with the quests it also took me to 47. Everything from around level 36 until I started turning in the guildleves was definitely extremely time consuming compared to when I was actually crafting stuff around my level.

[Vyniea]

We differ in opinion then. 5 days for me is pretty much nothing!
