    + Earth Crystal
    73-77 Silk Thread -> Clothespole + Lightning Crystal

    Kinda at a loss after this since I really havn't looked ahead much more being I'm sitting pretty at 68 due to lack of money. Hope this helps you people looking towards woodcrafting.

    On a side note you will pretty much make money if not break even on everything you make. Due to the fact you are farming your crystals.

    Enjoy!

    from a old friend, alteredstate...

    yes this list is a little bit old but it still works
    i'm sure people will comment

    Thanks for this, really big help. ^_^

    ( For the Tarutaru Folding screens, you can desynth flutes to get Parchment, instead of paying the 20k for a stack (Kujata price). Also, if you're leveling in Altepa or Crawlers' Nest, you'll get mass Earth crystals from just partying.. so there's a couple 1,000 gil saved right there.)

    Thanks a lot Stigmates. I've been following this guide and have leveled crafting very fast and very cost effectively (assuming all my 50+ stacks of beetle/horn arrows sell lol). As of right now I'm level 49 woodworking. Guess its time for some scorpions arrows, just gotta wait on the full moon.

    Hmmm Stigmates kind of need your help again. I'm still stuck at level 50 woodworkering and I can't seem to skillup anymore. I've gone through 3-4 stacks of ice arrowheads (15k a stack on Fenrir ><) and a stack of scorpion arrowheads and I've only gone gone up about 1 level. Just bad fortune? I'm doing this during full moons and most of the times on Lightsday (tried a few ice arrows on Icesday and it seemed to work better but still no skillup) and always with synth support. Just tough it out or am I forgetting something? Thanks again in advance.

    Assuming this is your first craft you are lvling, you will notice a huge drop in skill ups ater 50 60 70 80 and 90, they become far and few, especially when you have to spend millions upon millions just for 12 synths. If you really don't wanna go up to the next item, but need the skill , trying synthing on darksday . Sometimes this alone can be enough to help your skillups.

    To give you an example, From 1-49 it might 1-2 stacks of materials per point of skillup. at 50-70 it can average 2-4 stacks depending on your days and synthing luck. and at 80+ it can get really tedius, synthing 5+ stacks of each material just for 1 point in some cases it's just the nature of crafting, just be glad most crafts don't have an ex item to synth like in cooking (although it's an easy craft)

    I'm slightly disappointed, but hey, at least it didn't turn out that I have bad luck. :D

    try experamenting with crafting on earthsday or windsday depending on the type of crystal you are useing at lvl 80 WW now crafting on windsday with a wind crystal i have been getting sometimes 3-4 skillups in a row. Mythic Wands seem to be pretty good to level off at this level but the skillup is very slow because phoenix feathers rarely sell on the AH and i get like 80% of my money back from the synths. so far full moon seems to mean jack shit for my skillup only windsday for wind crystal and earthsday for earth crystal seem to do the trick.

    I'm 72.1 now and I tried desynthing Clothpoles but didn't get a single skill up in 30+ synths on New Moon. On the other hand, I ended up with 1.5 stacks of mahogany lumber. 8)

    I stopped leveling Woodworking at 60 to level Alchemy and Smithing to 60 as well, then I'm taking Woodworking to 100! I'm actually making money off of this now, and it feels damn good.~

    why is it that some people are making money 60-100, and others are losing millions upon millions? is it farming your own mats or what
