Goldsmithing is a craft that works with precious gems and metals to create beautiful jewelry and glittering armor, as well as some weapons and various other little items. The Goldsmiths' Guild headquarters is located in the Republic of Bastok, though guild representatives can be found elsewhere. There you can obtain Synthesis Image Support to assist your crafting, as well as buy and sell guild related items. Guild members beyond the rank of Novice can earn Guild Points, used to purchase items exclusive to crafters.
The Goldsmiths' Guild is open 8:00 - 23:00.
By speaking to Reinberta, the Guild Master, you can sign up to the guild and get a free crystal.
Synthesis Image Support NPCs[]
Synthesis image support temporarily raises your skill by 1 point. Advanced support raises your skill by 3 points, and requires a small fee based on your crafting rank. Synthesis Image Support can be obtained from the following Guild representatives:
Every ten skill levels, you are required to prove to the guild that you "have what it takes" by crafting (or buying) a smithed item of the guild's choosing. This item can be turned in once you have reached an "8" in skill (8, 28, 48, etc.), or higher skill (up to the cap). Once you have the requisite skill, speak with the Guild Master, Reinberta.
Once you have attained the rank of Novice, you may begin to earn Guild Points with the Goldsmiths' Guild. Note that you may only accumulate Guild Points for one guild at a time. The "Item of the Day" that the guild will accept changes every day at Japanese Midnight, and varies by crafting rank. Speak with Ellard, at (H-8) in Bastok Markets to find out what the item is, determine the limit to how many points can be earned, turn in items for points, and to spend points on Guild Point Items.
A deceptively slim volume containing a staggering wealth of knowledge for the expert goldsmith. You are particularly struck by a chapter entitled "Heart of Gold: Winning Your Lover's Affection through Accessories."
Guild Merchants[]
Guild Merchants buy and sell craft related goods during the guild's hours of operation. Prices can vary greatly depending on supply and demand, and unlike Standard Merchants, they can sell out of inventory.
