Crating, A Power Leveling Guide

Power Leveling:
a Final Fantasy XIV Crafting Guide.
By Bloodstorm

I'm writing this because I have looked all over the web and found tons of crafting guides but most of them are vague and kind of tough to follow. This is a WiP, dedicated to power leveling each craft to 50 in the game as fast as possible.

First and formost, you will need a surplus of leves roughly 55-60 per crafting class. Next and most important, DO NOT waste time and leves with "no quality" turn ins, this guide revolves around HQ items ONLY! If you cannot HQ, ask a friend or shell out the money for them off the market board, DON'T be a cheap ass! It will pay off in the end. With that said, last point is wherever your leve sends you, set your home point there and set it as a registered favorite as well as the leves point of origin. So without further adue, lets get this show on the road!

Levels: 1-10, Grind 40 durability items (I.E. Table Salt). This is stupid easy and fast, at level 5 you gain the ability "Steady Hand" to start increasing the items chance of "High Quality" or "HQ". Whenever possible use Steady Hand, for every increase in the items quality you gain a larger percentage of experience per completion.
