Being a Crafting Apprentice

 

Why did this guy watch me with a smile? I'm in the Goldsmiths Guild. 

A friend told me that it's best to practice these crafting skills together because many of the required equipment pieces are shared. Otherwise, your inventory space might run out during the crafting process. This made a lot of sense. So, I started travelling around the three main states (Ul'dah, Gridania, Limsa Lominsa), registering in each guild, and levelling each crafting class to level 20.

"After reaching level 20, good friends should come to The Firmament and kneel together!" (This refers to crafting items for the Restoration of The Firmament in Ishgard, then submitting them to gain experience and level up.)

The levelling process can be done by purchasing materials from the crafting guilds and completing tasks on the crafting log to gain experience and level up.

Indeed, plans change faster than expected. Originally, I only intended to level up my culinary skills to make a cup of hot chocolate, but it eventually evolved into a situation where I needed to develop all my crafting skills comprehensively.
