A majority of guides out there follow on the typical rule of making lumber and bolts, not necessarily though do we want to make ammo as they not only require other components and having levelled other crafts to make them but you'll find yourself having to wait around to sell them off after having made multiple stacks of 99s and unable to continue to craft due to a full inventory. This guide will get you round the need of making ammo although there may be some cases where you'll have little choice.

Amateur
Hop on over to East Ronfaure for your logging. Arrowwood lumber and Ash lumber have little use for this guide once they've been created, if you got the space you can use them up in making ammo inbetween recipes.


 * Arrowwood Lumber (0-2) Wind Crystal + Arrowwood Log


 * Maple Lumber (2-5) Wind Crystal + Maple Log


 * Ash Lumber (5-8) Wind Crystal + Ash Log

TEST ITEM Workbench (8) Earth Crystal + Lauan Lumber x4 Tip: Buy your lauan lumber from the guild shop.

Recruit
Hop on over to Ghelsba Outpost for your logging. Walnut logs can be found in Jugner Forest, use synthesis support when going from 13-21.


 * Holly Lumber (8-12) Wind Crystal + Holly Log


 * Willow Lumber (12-13) Wind Crystal + Willow Lumber

Tip: Walnut lumber is a level 19 skill recipe so be sure to get support before making these.
 * Walnut Lumber (13-16) Wind Crystal + Walnut Log

TEST ITEM Maple Table (16) Earth Crystal + Maple Lumber x4


 * Maple Sugar (16-21) Lightning Crystal + Maple Log

Initiate
If short of logs head back to East Ronfaure for your logging. For elm logs head over to Konschtat Highlands or The Sanctuary of Zi'tah.


 * Yew Lumber (21-22) Wind Crystal + Yew Log


 * Elm Lumber (22-25) Wind Crystal + Elm Log


 * Chestnut Lumber (25-28) Wind Crystal + Chestnut Log

TEST ITEM Harp (27) Earth Crystal + Coeurl Whisker, Chestnut Lumber x2 Tip: You can find large numbers of coeurls in the Labyrinth of Onzozo, there's also a number of coeurls close together near the entrance to the Sanctuary of Zi'tah in Meriphataud Mountains.

Novice
For a few levels you're going to be stuck with making items that aren't stackable. Book holders can be NPC'd for a reasonable profit. For your logging you'll be scattered around jugner forest and the jungles for the different types of lumber needed. Oak logs are better found in Jugner Forest of the past. If you can't cope with the mazes of the jungles then try Buburimu Peninsula or Caedavire Mire if you have sneak/invis or buy the lauan logs from the guild.


 * Book Holder (28-31) Earth Crystal + Lauan Lumber, Holly Lumber


 * Oak Lumber (31-35) Wind Crystal + Oak Log

TEST ITEM Traversiere (37) Wind Crystal + Oak Lumber, Parchment Tip: Buy the Parchment from the NPC in Mhaura, it's far cheaper.

Apprentice
Unfortunately from here on there's little you can make that isn't gonna stuff up your inventory for days or even weeks and you may be resorted to having to make ammo inbetween synths. Return to East Ronfaure if you're low on yew lumber and head to either Buburimu Peninsula or Yuhtunga Jungle for rosewood logs. If you plan to take up Wood Ensorcellment (40,000 guild point key item) you can make lots of oak cudgels and turn these into warp cudgels later on. Flower stands are a big loss, NPC these as they rarely sell on the AH.

Tip: Oak cudgels by themselves don't sell very well and are best off either converted into warp cudgels or sold to an NPC.
 * Oak Cudgel (37-41) Earth Crystal + Oak Lumber


 * Flower Stand (41-44) Earth Crystal + Yew Lumber, Lauan Lumber


 * Rosewood Lumber (44-45) Wind Crystal + Rosewood Log

TEST ITEM Rose Wand (47) Wind Crystal + Rosewood Lumber, Black Chocobo Feather

Journeyman
Return to Yhoator Jungle if you're low on supplies. Use synthesis support to get you through the big level gaps. Oak poles are used for ninja AF quests so you can get away with making a few of these as they sell fairly well, be prepared to have your inventory stuffed up a bit with a few of these until they sell off. You may need to make ammo to fill inbetween synths.


 * Mahogany Lumber (45-51) Wind Crystal + Mahogany Log


 * Oak Pole (51-54) Wind Crystal + Oak Lumber x2


 * Ebony Lumber (54-61) Wind Crystal + Ebony Log

TEST ITEM Kaman (57) Wind Crystal + Elm Lumber, Bamboo Stick, Silk Thread, Wool Cloth Tip: ''Bamboo sticks are available cheap from the woodworking guild. You can buy silk thread and wool cloth from the AH, check prices of silk thread from the clothworking guild first though as it may be cheaper from the guild. Wool cloth also drops fairly often from Haunts in Kuftal Tunnel and Bostaunieux Oubliette and silk thread is a very common drop from crawlers.''
