Crafting specific question thread. Moar undyed canvas.

[Sephiroth]

What's better, Canvas coif control +6, or canvas hat control +5 and magic craft +9?
I'm not sure what magic craft does.

I'm picking up a canvas hat (pink ) from the Gridania leve Leaders of the Pack. Picked up the coif from a leve yesterday.

[Ratatapa]

You sure they were doing "Canvas" hat? I swear I remember not being able to do it at 27 (I tried this every rank 25+ till it let me).... Anyway there is no way they are doing that hat with any reasonable amount of success. I had a Rank 32 weaver do mine and he failed 6 times before making 1. I myself tried it and failed 6 times without even getting close to a success.

They made about 6-7 straight and even a Pink one

They were at the repair NPC in Limsa and they had 3-4 in their bazaar

There is even a lv 33 here that is doing Velveteen Cloth

Ok I'm curious. Has anyone else noticed a decrease in the amount of marks since last patch? I haven't gotten any in over a week. I WAS getting them maybe 20% of the time before that on all the local leves I've done, usually I'd get marks as a reward for one leve each reset. I'm 550 marks away from the 5k mark and it's getting frustrating doing all these stupid local leves(rank 20+) and getting no marks at all.

[Ratatapa]

I did

[Elcura]

Can't say for sure, because my THM still gets stupid amounts, but having done at least 8 20+ local leves over the last week, I've only gotten marks from 1.

[CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon]

I was talking just about local leves. Lancer I've spent 14k already and have another 12k on hand. Just got marks though from a local leve and it puts me over 5k, so I'll be picking up a training book. I"ll post the results.

I was talking about locals as well (after my THM comment). 8+ 20 leves with only 1 reward that had marks.

Just dinged 26 weaver 16 Leather craft

Tried 2 craft

1) Canvas Hat : lv 26 Can start crafting it, (Your leather worker skills is noit high enough) Broke it at 20%

2) Canvas Coif : lv 21 Cannot start crafting you (you decided to wait blah blah and still your leatherworker is not high enough)

Oh sorry, didn't see that. They're too rare for sure. I hope the bump it up a bit. However I think each class gets access to the same 'training' books as every other class. I noticed dye training in my leather books I could buy that was for dying cloth. Not totally sure on this.

Anyway, I bought tanning training to help with dying buffalo leather. I went 5/6 synths, something I"ve never done before. I was at 50% at best at rank 28 with pretty much the best gear around for my rank. I've noticed an increase in success; the durability loss for success has gone down marginally; durability loss for fail has gone down as well; less unstable elements. Pretty happy so far with it, even though this is just preliminary and not really a big experimental number.

Interesting that people are reporting different values for when they were able to first attempt the Canvas Hat. There's 2 possibilities:

1) People are providing incorrect data due to remembering wrong / etc
2) Items with subskill requirements are calculated differently, it's not just a +10 on the main craft. It could be that the sum of all differences among main and all subs has to be <= 10, for example.

[Ratatapa]

Ok so talked to that Mintea Silverberry with my awsome auto translate skills

She said to me

Canvas hat = 70% at 27

But good 28-30

So does she mean she break them at 70% at 27 or win them about 70% of the time

Ummmmmm

No one answered my question about canvas coif vs canvas hat.

No one answered my question about canvas coif vs canvas hat.

If you have a class that the hat favors, use that. Otherwise, use the coif.

[Sephiroth]

Thanks. Does using equipment that doesn't favour your class gimp you that much?

Seems only my ALC can make use of the hat, can't imagine it being the best thing for CNJ at that rank but I've not checked into that. Seems more of a DoH piece.

[qpoiuwer]

Yes. Equip the gear and see for yourself.

[Ratatapa]

So what does Mag Craft does?

[Shade]

Ok so.


Inventory: 63/80
Crafted: 3 Maple Planks.
FFXIV: "You create 3 Maple Planks. Your loot list is full. Unable to obtain 3 Maple Planks."
Me: .....

I mean. It isnt even the planks, because lol maple. But why did this happen? Crafting in town, nothing even in my loot list, not that I see what that has to do with it.

Is it normal for Rank~20 Local Leves to have an NPC in one city, with a recipe that requires the Guild-Support of a guild in a different city? Ugh, I was doing way too much running around just for 8 Fishing leves.

[Jojimbo]

Theres a grid (bs; spearheads) and limsa (gs; specs) leve that require guild support. Although spearhead is easy, it's just specs that I have to sit on until next cycle so I can craft them in ul'd (I go grid > ul'd > limsa, farm stuff then warp back to grid when leves reset).

Wish they'll just put the leves in the correct city =/ but it's probably similar logic to the r1~10 leves making you run to Camp Bluefrog etc
