[[File:50 Gatherer Crafter Art PUB.jpg|right|350px]]
Crafting [[classes]], also known as Disciples of the Hand, synthesize new and useful items such as armor, weapon, [[meal|food]] and [[medicine|potion]] from basic materials. The 8 Disciples of the Hand classes in A Realm Reborn are [[Carpenter]], [[Blacksmith]], [[Armorer]], [[Goldsmith]], [[Leatherworker]], [[Weaver]], [[Alchemist]] and [[Culinarian]]. Some of the basic materials are collected by [[gathering]] or disciples of land classes. Players can unlock these crafting classes by talking to the Guild Receptionist in perspective Guilds. Players are required to have a lvl 10 or higher [[Disciples of War|Disciple of War]] or [[Disciples of Magic|Disciple of Magic]] class to do this.  
[[File:FFXIV TGS MediaKit 08.jpg|right|350px]]
There are eight crafting [[classes]] in [[Final Fantasy XIV]], also known as '''Disciples of the Hand''' or '''DoH''', with each job specializing in crafting, repairing, melding and desynthesizing specific item types, as well as producing vanity items, such as [[glamours]] and furniture for [[houses]] and apartments.
 
The 8 Disciples of the Hand classes are [[Carpenter]], [[Blacksmith]], [[Armorer]], [[Goldsmith]], [[Leatherworker]], [[Weaver]], [[Alchemist]] and [[Culinarian]].
To become a Disciple of the Hand, players require at least one level 10 Disciple of War or Magic. If eligible, visit the [[guild]] associated with the desired craft to begin your very first job quest. It is recommended to level most or all of the classes together as they feed each other with intermediate materials and can share all gear besides [[tools]].
 
In addition to crafting, these classes provide additional functions:
*{{action icon|Repair (action)}}: To repair any item yourself, you'll require a certain level in a corresponding crafting class. This applies to every piece of equipment, craftable or not. You don't have to switch to the class in order to repair the item. Unlike NPC repairs, this can restore condition up to 199%. The higher the level of the equipment, the higher the grade of [[Dark Matter]] is required to do this.
*{{action icon|Materia Melding}}: This likewise requires a certain level in the corresponding crafting class. Players can "Request Meld" from other players with a sufficient crafting level, but may also be charged for the service. This can only be performed while the class is active. This feature is unlocked through the quest {{questlink|feature|Waking the Spirit}} with a crafting class at level 19.
*{{action icon|Desynthesis}}: Taking unneeded equipment, furnishings, and fish apart to potentially salvage some of the materials and even find rare materials or glams. This has its own skill level system. Culinarians can desynthesize most fish instead of equipment. You don't have to switch to the class to do this. If the [[Desynthesis]] skill is too low compared to the [[Item Level]] of the item, its not possible to receive rare items from the drop table, and some equipment can't be desynthesized at all. This feature is unlocked through the quest {{questlink|feature|Gone to Pieces}} with a crafting class at level 30.
 
'''[https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/crafting_gathering_guide/ Official Crafting Guide on Lodestone]'''
 
Using the class:
*To switch to a crafting class, simply equip the tool of that class from your armory chest. Additional equipment can be saved in an item set, and equipment with crafting stats can be bought or crafted for every equipment slot except for the [[Soul Crystals|Soul Crystal]]. (The [[Soul Crystals|Soul Crystal]] equivalent for crafters is acquired through the [[Specialist System]].) Most such equipment can be used across all the crafting classes except for the primary and secondary tools, which are unique to each.
*When you have a crafting class equipped, the CP bar replaces your MP bar.

==Crafting Basics==
==Crafting Basics==
To begin crafting, open your crafting log section of your personal log and select a recipe. The items required will be displayed on the right side of the window and the difficulty will be displayed near the top. You can then select the option for '''Synthesize''' in the bottom right of the recipe window to open the crafting dialogue box. In the new window there are several things to take note of:
Once you have unlocked a crafting job, all recipes related to that job can be viewed using the crafting log. To craft an item, players will require the materials displayed in that item's recipe. Once the necessary components are in your inventory, head to the recipe you wish to fulfil and press '''Synthesize'''.
* '''Durability''' - Durability is the number of steps you can take when you're crafting an item. Each crafting actions that alters the item's progress or quality consumes 10 points of durability. Your crafting session ends when the durability of the item hits 0. If the progress has not reached 100% at that time, your synthesis fails and you lose some of the crafting material.
* '''Progress''' - Progress is the measurement towards the completion of the item. You successfully craft an item when the progress bar becomes full. If you fail to reach the maximum progress before the durability reaches 0, your synthesis of the item fails and you may lose some of the crafting material.
* '''Quality''' - Quality is the probability that the item you're making will be a [[High Quality]] (HQ) item. You can increase Quality % by performing certain crafting actions and by initiating the synthesis using HQ ingredients. Quality is dictated by the [[Attributes|attribute]] [[Control]].
* '''[[CP]]''' - CP, or crafting points, are required to use some of your crafting actions. While crafting, your CP will decrease as you perform your abilities. If the CP cost of a crafting ability is greater than your remaining CP, you cannot use that ability. CP regenerates to full after you complete a craft.
* '''Condition''' - Condition is visible just below durability and is visually apparent on the glowing ball of energy that represents the item. The condition of the item only effects the increase in quality of the item from touch commands. There are four conditions:
** '''Excellent''' - Gives a large bonus to the efficiency of touch commands. The glowing ball rapidly changes colors.
** '''Good''' - Gives a minor bonus to the efficiency of touch commands. The glowing ball is a orange red.
** '''Normal''' - Efficiency of touch commands remains as stated. The glowing ball is white.
** '''Poor''' - Gives a minor demerit to the efficiency of touch commands. The glowing ball is purple and black.


The goal of is to get the highest quality possible and complete the progression of the item before the durability reaches zero. Success means the item is crafted, but failure means a loss of materials. High quality items reward more experience for being crafted and even more rewards when turned in for leve quests. Class quests and most story quests do not take quality of the item into account.
* '''Durability''' - Durability is the number of steps you can take when while crafting an item. Each crafting action that alters the item's progress or quality consumes 10 points of durability by default, though there are various exceptions. Some abilities can restore durability or temporarily reduce consumption. Your crafting session ends when the durability of the item hits 0. If progress has not reached 100% by then, your synthesis fails – resulting in the loss of some or all crafting materials. The starting durability varies depending on the item.
* '''Progress''' - Progress is the measurement towards the completion of the item. If you fail to reach 100% progress before durability reaches 0, your synthesis fails. No further actions may be taken once the progress bar has been filled, regardless of CP or Durability remaining.
* '''Quality''' - Quality is the probability that the item you're making will be a [[High Quality]] {{HQ}} (HQ) item. You can increase Quality % by performing specific crafting actions and by initiating the synthesis using HQ ingredients. The [[Control]] [[Attributes|attribute]] dictates quality. The higher the % reached the more experience will be gained from the crafting as well. Using HQ crafting materials also affects the starting quality percentage. However, not all items have a High-Quality version. For [[collectables]], the Quality rating will affect the item's Collectability. Some high-end recipes without a high-quality version will require a certain Quality rating for the craft to be successful.
* '''[[CP]]''' - CP, or crafting points, are required to use some of your crafting actions. While crafting, your CP will decrease as you perform your abilities according to the indicated number on the ability icon. If the CP cost of a crafting skill is higher than your remaining CP, you cannot use that ability. CP regenerates to full after you complete a craft. A few abilities can restore CP during the crafting process under the right condition.
* '''Condition''' - Condition is visible just below durability and is visually apparent on the glowing ball of energy that represents the item. The condition of the item mainly affects the increase in quality of the item from touch commands, and also the availability of certain actions. Each action or "step" taken in the crafting process can change this condition, and other than ''Normal'' these always last for only one step. There are four conditions for most recipes:
** '''Excellent''' - Excellent condition has a 10% chance to proc after a "Normal" action, providing a significant bonus to the efficiency of touch commands.
** '''Good''' - Good condition has a 25% chance to proc after a "Normal" action, providing a minor bonus to the efficiency of touch commands.
** '''Normal''' - The efficiency of touch commands remains as stated. Every synthesis starts on this.
** '''Poor''' - Poor condition can only occur after an action is taken during Excellent condition, reducing the efficiency of touch commands.
** Expert recipes have additional conditions. For additional information, see [[Expert Recipes|here]].


===Quick Synthesis===
===Quick Synthesis===
Once you have crafted an item once, you can use the option '''Quick Synthesis''' to create many copies of the same item. The process allows crafters to set up dozens of a single item to be crafted in relatively quick succession that they do not have to use individual crafting skills to create. The crafter can also end the process whenever they feel the need. Items spirit bond as normal with quick synth. Your gear is damaged at double the normal rate when using quick synth.
Once you have crafted an item once, you can use ''Quick Synthesis'' to automatically create more in relatively quick succession without using individual crafting skills. Spiritbond is acquired normally during this process, though your gear will degrade at double the standard rate.
 
It is possible for Quick Synthesis to fail, losing materials in the process, but only if the player's Craftsmanship stat is lower than the Craftsmanship Recommended listed in the recipe. There is also a minimal chance of producing a high-quality item using Quick Synthesis. This chance is unaffected by the qualities of the materials. Some recipes cannot be quick synthesized.
 
Quick Synthesis is unlocked for all classes once any crafting job has reached level 10.
 
==Leveling crafters==
===[https://guides.ffxivteamcraft.com/guide/crafting-leveling-guide Crafting Leveling Guide (1-90) in Endwalker (Teamcraft Guides)]===
 
Crafters gain experience by crafting items, completing crafter quests and turning in quest items. There is a great number of different methods to quickly level crafters. Progress is even faster if experience buffs are applied, such as those from a new world, XP-enhancing equipment, free company buffs or crafter manuals. Depending on one's crafter levels, fast methods include the following:
 
===Levels 1 to about 25===
* Class quests
* Synthesize items that have never been crafted before for the bonus.
 
===Levels 25 to 50 ===
* Class quests
* Daily Grand Company supply missions
* Ishgardian Restoration (see below)
* [[Guildleves]]
 
===Levels 50 to 60===
As above, and:
* [[Collectables]] unlocked at level 50
* [[Moogle Daily Quests]]
 
===Levels 60 to 70===
* [[Custom Deliveries]] unlocked at level 60
* [[Namazu Daily Quests]]
 
===Levels 70 to 80===
* [[Crystarium Deliveries]]
* [[Dwarf Daily Quests]]
 
===Levels 80 to 90===
* [[Studium Deliveries]]
* [[Loporrit Daily Quests]]
 
===Levels 90 to 100===
* [[Wachumeqimeqi Deliveries]]
 
=== Ishgardian Restoration ===
You should be able to get to 20 quickly. If your main job has progressed far enough that you can enter [[the Diadem]], and you level your gatherers in tandem with (or ahead of) your crafter(s), levelling the crafters gets easy as well.
 
Starting with level 20, you can craft almost exclusively with the items you gathered in the Diadem, you need at most one external piece, and that is often easy to gather in numbers or even store-bought for a few gil. Combined with experience-increasing scrolls, this brings you up very quickly.
 
From time to time do batches of class quests, as some of the abilities you get from them are really helpful. At ~45, you can upgrade to Company issued gear. At 60, you should get a full set from Sundry Splendors. (You could get a set at lvl 55, but the short time you'd use that is not worth the effort.) You can continue this up to ~70, then the amount of ingredients rises steeply and you want to start crafting collectables anyways to buy gear from the Sundry Splendors.
 
After about lvl 70, doing the Company's daily supply missions, ideally when they are starred, is the most time efficient way to level your crafter, mixed with doing collectables when you are about to reach the next level for Sundry Splendor's gear (i.e. 70/80/90).
 
As soon as you start crafting "regularly", you'll notice the massive synergy between the different crafter jobs. If you have enough friendly crafters to supply you (in exchange for you supplying them), or if you have a lot of gil to spend on the Market board, you can stick to one crafter job. Otherwise, it's worth considering the road called "Omnicrafter" (levelling all crafters, ideally keeping them in the same level range to make use of the gear synergy).

* '''[[Craftsmanship]]''' - increases the amount of progress you generate while using crafting actions such as [[Basic Synthesis]] and [[Standard Synthesis]].
* '''[[Craftsmanship]]''' - increases the amount of progress you generate while using crafting actions such as [[Basic Synthesis]] and [[Careful Synthesis]].
* '''[[CP]]''' - are your crafting points which are required to use some of your crafting actions.
* '''[[Control]]''' - increases the amount of quality you generate while using crafting actions such as [[Basic Touch]], [[Standard Touch]] and [[Advanced Touch]].
* '''[[Control]]''' - increases the amount of quality you generate while using crafting actions such as [[Basic Touch]], [[Standard Touch]] and [[Advanced Touch]].
* '''([[CP]]) Crafting Points''' - crafting points are required to use most of your crafting actions.
The goal of the crafting process is to get the highest possible quality and complete the progression of the item before durability reaches zero. High-quality items have higher stats where applicable and affect base quality if used in further crafting. HQ items also double your rewards when turned in for levequests and deliveries.
Class quests and most story quests do not take the quality of an item into account. However, some quests (such as crafting class quests, deliveries and dailies) will explicitly demand HQ items.
Some items do not have high-quality versions. However, the quality bar will still appear, but it does not affect the amount of experience gained. Crafters automatically learn new recipes as they level up and can be attempted as soon as possible, provided you have enough Craftsmanship or Control.

There are eight crafting classes in Final Fantasy XIV, also known as Disciples of the Hand or DoH, with each job specializing in crafting, repairing, melding and desynthesizing specific item types, as well as producing vanity items, such as glamours and furniture for houses and apartments.

The 8 Disciples of the Hand classes are Carpenter, Blacksmith, Armorer, Goldsmith, Leatherworker, Weaver, Alchemist and Culinarian.

To become a Disciple of the Hand, players require at least one level 10 Disciple of War or Magic. If eligible, visit the guild associated with the desired craft to begin your very first job quest. It is recommended to level most or all of the classes together as they feed each other with intermediate materials and can share all gear besides tools.

In addition to crafting, these classes provide additional functions:

  • Repair (action).png  Repair: To repair any item yourself, you'll require a certain level in a corresponding crafting class. This applies to every piece of equipment, craftable or not. You don't have to switch to the class in order to repair the item. Unlike NPC repairs, this can restore condition up to 199%. The higher the level of the equipment, the higher the grade of Dark Matter is required to do this.
  • Materia melding icon1.png  Materia Melding: This likewise requires a certain level in the corresponding crafting class. Players can "Request Meld" from other players with a sufficient crafting level, but may also be charged for the service. This can only be performed while the class is active. This feature is unlocked through the quest Feature QuestWaking the Spirit with a crafting class at level 19.
  • Desynthesis icon1.png  Desynthesis: Taking unneeded equipment, furnishings, and fish apart to potentially salvage some of the materials and even find rare materials or glams. This has its own skill level system. Culinarians can desynthesize most fish instead of equipment. You don't have to switch to the class to do this. If the Desynthesis skill is too low compared to the Item Level of the item, its not possible to receive rare items from the drop table, and some equipment can't be desynthesized at all. This feature is unlocked through the quest Feature QuestGone to Pieces with a crafting class at level 30.

Using the class:

  • To switch to a crafting class, simply equip the tool of that class from your armory chest. Additional equipment can be saved in an item set, and equipment with crafting stats can be bought or crafted for every equipment slot except for the Soul Crystal. (The Soul Crystal equivalent for crafters is acquired through the Specialist System.) Most such equipment can be used across all the crafting classes except for the primary and secondary tools, which are unique to each.
  • When you have a crafting class equipped, the CP bar replaces your MP bar.

Unlike all the other jobs which strongly co-depend (on each other and) on Botany and Mining for their ingredients, the Culinarian strongly co-depends on Botany and Fishing.

Crafting Basics

Once you have unlocked a crafting job, all recipes related to that job can be viewed using the crafting log. To craft an item, players will require the materials displayed in that item's recipe. Once the necessary components are in your inventory, head to the recipe you wish to fulfil and press Synthesize.

  • Durability - Durability is the number of steps you can take when while crafting an item. Each crafting action that alters the item's progress or quality consumes 10 points of durability by default, though there are various exceptions. Some abilities can restore durability or temporarily reduce consumption. Your crafting session ends when the durability of the item hits 0. If progress has not reached 100% by then, your synthesis fails – resulting in the loss of some or all crafting materials. The starting durability varies depending on the item.
  • Progress - Progress is the measurement towards the completion of the item. If you fail to reach 100% progress before durability reaches 0, your synthesis fails. No further actions may be taken once the progress bar has been filled, regardless of CP or Durability remaining.
  • Quality - Quality is the probability that the item you're making will be a High Quality HQ icon.png (HQ) item. You can increase Quality % by performing specific crafting actions and by initiating the synthesis using HQ ingredients. The Control attribute dictates quality. The higher the % reached the more experience will be gained from the crafting as well. Using HQ crafting materials also affects the starting quality percentage. However, not all items have a High-Quality version. For collectables, the Quality rating will affect the item's Collectability. Some high-end recipes without a high-quality version will require a certain Quality rating for the craft to be successful.
  • CP - CP, or crafting points, are required to use some of your crafting actions. While crafting, your CP will decrease as you perform your abilities according to the indicated number on the ability icon. If the CP cost of a crafting skill is higher than your remaining CP, you cannot use that ability. CP regenerates to full after you complete a craft. A few abilities can restore CP during the crafting process under the right condition.
  • Condition - Condition is visible just below durability and is visually apparent on the glowing ball of energy that represents the item. The condition of the item mainly affects the increase in quality of the item from touch commands, and also the availability of certain actions. Each action or "step" taken in the crafting process can change this condition, and other than Normal these always last for only one step. There are four conditions for most recipes:
    • Excellent - Excellent condition has a 10% chance to proc after a "Normal" action, providing a significant bonus to the efficiency of touch commands.
    • Good - Good condition has a 25% chance to proc after a "Normal" action, providing a minor bonus to the efficiency of touch commands.
    • Normal - The efficiency of touch commands remains as stated. Every synthesis starts on this.
    • Poor - Poor condition can only occur after an action is taken during Excellent condition, reducing the efficiency of touch commands.
    • Expert recipes have additional conditions. For additional information, see here.

Quick Synthesis

Once you have crafted an item once, you can use Quick Synthesis to automatically create more in relatively quick succession without using individual crafting skills. Spiritbond is acquired normally during this process, though your gear will degrade at double the standard rate.

It is possible for Quick Synthesis to fail, losing materials in the process, but only if the player's Craftsmanship stat is lower than the Craftsmanship Recommended listed in the recipe. There is also a minimal chance of producing a high-quality item using Quick Synthesis. This chance is unaffected by the qualities of the materials. Some recipes cannot be quick synthesized.

Quick Synthesis is unlocked for all classes once any crafting job has reached level 10.

Leveling crafters

Crafting Leveling Guide (1-90) in Endwalker (Teamcraft Guides)

Crafters gain experience by crafting items, completing crafter quests and turning in quest items. There is a great number of different methods to quickly level crafters. Progress is even faster if experience buffs are applied, such as those from a new world, XP-enhancing equipment, free company buffs or crafter manuals. Depending on one's crafter levels, fast methods include the following:

Levels 1 to about 25

  • Class quests
  • Synthesize items that have never been crafted before for the bonus.

Levels 25 to 50

  • Class quests
  • Daily Grand Company supply missions
  • Ishgardian Restoration (see below)
  • Guildleves

Levels 50 to 60

As above, and:

Levels 60 to 70

Levels 70 to 80

Levels 80 to 90

Levels 90 to 100

Ishgardian Restoration

You should be able to get to 20 quickly. If your main job has progressed far enough that you can enter the Diadem, and you level your gatherers in tandem with (or ahead of) your crafter(s), levelling the crafters gets easy as well.

Starting with level 20, you can craft almost exclusively with the items you gathered in the Diadem, you need at most one external piece, and that is often easy to gather in numbers or even store-bought for a few gil. Combined with experience-increasing scrolls, this brings you up very quickly.

From time to time do batches of class quests, as some of the abilities you get from them are really helpful. At ~45, you can upgrade to Company issued gear. At 60, you should get a full set from Sundry Splendors. (You could get a set at lvl 55, but the short time you'd use that is not worth the effort.) You can continue this up to ~70, then the amount of ingredients rises steeply and you want to start crafting collectables anyways to buy gear from the Sundry Splendors.

After about lvl 70, doing the Company's daily supply missions, ideally when they are starred, is the most time efficient way to level your crafter, mixed with doing collectables when you are about to reach the next level for Sundry Splendor's gear (i.e. 70/80/90).

As soon as you start crafting "regularly", you'll notice the massive synergy between the different crafter jobs. If you have enough friendly crafters to supply you (in exchange for you supplying them), or if you have a lot of gil to spend on the Market board, you can stick to one crafter job. Otherwise, it's worth considering the road called "Omnicrafter" (levelling all crafters, ideally keeping them in the same level range to make use of the gear synergy).

Crafting Attributes

The goal of the crafting process is to get the highest possible quality and complete the progression of the item before durability reaches zero. High-quality items have higher stats where applicable and affect base quality if used in further crafting. HQ items also double your rewards when turned in for levequests and deliveries.

Class quests and most story quests do not take the quality of an item into account. However, some quests (such as crafting class quests, deliveries and dailies) will explicitly demand HQ items.

Some items do not have high-quality versions. However, the quality bar will still appear, but it does not affect the amount of experience gained. Crafters automatically learn new recipes as they level up and can be attempted as soon as possible, provided you have enough Craftsmanship or Control.
