Dunno if you're doing Botanist as well, but you're going to need a metric ton of HQ walnut Lumber to use for leves on carpentry and other crafts. I haven't even made enough, for all of the other class leves, and my Carpentry is 31; I basically did nothing but HQ walnut lumber and some GC missions.
Sorry if this has been posted already, but I've been using this to level my crafts since the OP leves a lot of holes. Can narrow it down to triples or leave it open: http://craftingasaservice.com/leve
I reposted them in my big'ol list of leves thread about a week ago (since they use+credit that list for their data). I'm all 50 already so my use for them is limited but it looked pretty good :3
The GSM leves mention for 25 & 30 are not correct.
"Level 25 Goldsmith Leve: "Love in the time of Umbra" - Ul'Dah - Steps of Nald (adventurer's guild)
Silver Ring is the requirement. 9,885exp 230gil for NQ/29,655 800gil for HQ. The silver ring is fairly easy to HQ once you get to about 27, especially if you make the mats from raw material and HQ yourself the mudstone that is needed."
and
"Level 30: He Has His Quartz
Reward on HQ: 71,000, 1.2k Gil
Craft a Silver Circlet (Goshenite)
Very easy to HQ silver ingots/Goshenite and then get HQ Silver Circlets. I went from 30-50 GSM in two days on this alone spending very little on the very common mats of Silver Ore, Wind Shards/Fire Shards (Leve reward helps with this), Raw Goshenite. "
Neither of these have multiple turn-ins. You have to use a new allowance each time. My husband had several of these items made in preparation to level & was VERY upset that his time/mats were wasted. Please modify these quotes as they are not valid to this post.
Don't mean to be mean but I'm not sure what in those quotes made you believe they were triple turn-ins. If you want to fact-check anything in this topic, well, *points at sig*
just hit 50 all crafts and all gathers today, I was wondering what should I do with my leve allowances from now on, from all of the leves I've done I didn't really paid attention to gil/leve but only to exp/leve. Does anyone have a recollection of what's a better leve purely on gil standpoints? can be crafting or gathering.
The Weaver leves in Quarrymill can reward 10 diremite webs which is pretty decent. I'm only have one 50 DoH and several in the 30s, so there might be something better.
Also, what is the best path to take at 35 WVR? My leves are at 80+ so I'm looking for the best exp per gil spent. I'm guessing start with this:
Edmelle's Hair - 32396 xp, 453 gil
Courier, Observatorium (Coerthas)
1 Linen Wedge Cap of Gathering
I was going to try to avoid wool, but it seems impossible at 40+ unless I keep doing the 35 leve.
I've been using them for GC leves (I've been swapping around to get the minions; almost done with 3rd one) and getting Pudding Flesh (Necrologos: Cinerary Rites from regular levemete and Feathered Foes from Twin Adder leves, both at the Observatorium), since it's obscenely rare as fuck.
In terms of effort/leve (and avoiding Wool/Felt) I'd just do that until 45 when you get:
Full Moon Fever - 51828 xp, 631 gil
Courier, Saint Coinach's Find (Mor Dhona)
1 Felt Chausses
...and even that is kind of optional. Could just do that Linen Wedge Cap all the way to 50.
Incidentally that Necrologos leve I mentioned has you kill at least 5 karakul so that's also a minor source of Fleece.
for my Weaver I did the Linen hat HQ x3 triple turn in, granted it took like literally 100 synths to do 1 leve if you start from flax, and tons of lightning shards, but the 30 botany trees were just outside of Ul'dah, and it's fast to 50, 215k exp per leve if you turn in 9 HQs.
and I guess I could do the pudding flesh, I heard horror stories about how rare it is but when I needed it for my Alchemy quest I gave it a shot and went 1/1 and HQ on the flesh, maybe my luck was used up...
I just did the Triple Leve for WVR35 in Observatorium, Linen tights, very easy to HQ them with just 15 abils and Steady hand II, and very easy to farm if you have BTN as said above. About 75k XP and 1.5k gil per 3 tights turned in for HQ, tempted to spam it until 50 to be honest.
Also, does anyone have any idea on the easiest/cheapest leve for getting ALC45-50? Trying to avoid spending gil on anything so I was thinking Shark Oil, but I'm not sure how much of a ball ache fishing up the sharks is going to be in the long run, and Karakul are obviously camped to high hell 24/7.
Shark Oil seems like a horrible choice. Nowadays I often find one karakul spot empty, but anyway people farm them for fleece and skins sells really cheap, at least here?
40 alc
A Patch-up Place - 41831 xp, 373 gil
Courier, Whitebrim (Coerthas)
3 Mega-Potion
I pretty much did that right to 50 because all of the 45 ones looked like ass.
Skins sell for nearly as much as fleece here for some reason.
Thanks for the mega Potion tip though, probably going to do that.
I used the skin for Lanolin, 40 "A Real Smooth Move" Alchemy leve from Ul'dah -> Whitebrim (if I remembered correctly it's a triple turn in, 9 HQ -> 288k exp)
Side benefit of the Mega-Pot leve is that it's ok to overbuy your mats since HQ Mega Potions/Ethers (same mats) are useful meds. But lanolin looks nice too. I just had no extra incentive to farm them since I had hundreds of fleece from 1.0.
