Leathercraft Guide by Galvaya

Leathercraft guide By, Galvaya of Lakshmi
 * ==Incomplete!!!==**

This guide I developed for myself, and thought it would make a good guide for others to use. I spiced it up, added colors, and pictures for everyone, to not make it so mundane.

This guide is intended for a cheap/easy way to go from Level 40, to 100 in leather craft. I found a website that from my own experience works well to obtain skill ups. [FFXI Crafting Timer] To use: you enter the crystal you are using, your level of current craft, and craft cap. Press "Calculate Difficulty" Then once the numbers appear on the right hand side,(In the #4 box) click on the numbers, and it will give you an estimated explanation of how well you should be able to obtain a skill-up, pertaining to which direction you are facing, and which kind of support you are using.

Enjoy.

=Lv 40-60=

When you are Lv 41


Cap- 43-Waistbelt

Wind crystal 2x Ram Leather

1x Grass Thread

When you are Lv 43

When you are Lv 49


Cap- 54-Moblin Sheep Leather (Ex)

- Wind Crystal

2x Moblin Sheepskin

When you are Lv 52

 * '' (WHEN 52ish, check clock conditions, to see if it's safe to move on to Raptor Jerkin without a major break, otherwise continue with Moblin Sheep Leather)

When you are Lv 54(Or earlier, varying on clock conditions)
Cap- 58-Raptor Jerkin

- Earth Crystal

2x Raptor Skin

1x Sheep Leather

(Raptor Skin can be a bit pricey, but this is the fastest/best way to go if you don't plan on farming it.)

When you are Lv 58
Cap- 61-Tiger Leather

-Dark Crystal

1xWindurstian Tea Leaves

1xTiger Hide

1xDistilled Water

 (If you plan to exceed Lv. 60. It might be a good idea to save the Tiger Leather when you reach Lv 75, Otherwise, it can be pricey to reach 80.)

=60-100=

When you are Lv 61
Cap- 63-Beak Mantle

- Earth Crystal

2x Cockatrice Skin

1x Grass Thread

When you are Lv 63
Cap- 69-Beak Jerkin

Earth Crystal

2x Cockatrice Skin

1x Sheep Leather
 *  (Side note, Seeing that wyverns can be a bit to handle solo at most times. It might be a good idea to make it a habit to buy the Wyvern Skin off of the Jeuno/Whitegate Auction House. By starting to buy them now, you should have a sufficient amount ready by the time you're ready to attempt getting lv 95. Otherwise, by waiting at lv 90ish to buy them. You're going to take a few days most likely to get enough skins to skill up on.) 

When you are Lv 69
Cap- 71- Coeurl Leather*

Dark Crystal 1x Coeurl Hide

1x Distilled Water

1x Windurstian Tea Leaves


 *  (If have money to spend later on, Lynx leather is the same level synth, and a better drop rate/less camped, but useless as a result item, Whereas Coeurl Leather may be used later on to craft Jerkins, allowing you to reach Lv 89 easier.)
 *  (Also, varying on which coeurl you farm off of, save any H.Q coeurl hides you receive, you'll need them to reach lv 95-100, as well. start buying them off the AH to save on a mule for when you are 95)
