![]() You don’t have to craft at the guild, but it’s useful since the merchants there can sell some of the intermediate items you need for early crafting. I went back to Gridania and went into the carpentry guild. Using these abilities drains Gathering Points (GP), so you have a small resource management game happening too.Īfter that, it was time for some carpentry. You only get six attempts per node (more on guildleves) and you have a few abilities you can use to improve your harvesting chances. Once you find a node, you have a choice of different items to harvest, each with a percentage chance to succeed. This is accomplished using several “radar” type abilities which help you find either the nearest node or the highest level node you can utilize depending on the ability. In the exploration mode, you need to find harvesting nodes. Fortunately, both ice shards and elm logs can be found in the Central Shroud, so I was able to knock off a couple items off of my checklist.īotany is a probability and exploration game. One teleport later I was in Gridania looking for trees. A quick tool through the UI and my botany gear was equipped. This is easily accomplished using the gear set list, a tool I includes as one of my favorite things in FFXIV:ARR in my most recent column. So, my first step on the road to armorer actually required switching over to Botanist and hacking away at a few trees. This means that I need to be self-sufficient. Normally, I would probably have picked these things up from the marketboards (the auction house), but its still beta-3 and not many people are placing things up on the markets as of yet.

Crafters get bonus XP for their first creation of an item, this is tracked in the crafting log which doubles as your recipe book. One of the benefits of a week off between beta-3 sessions is that my character had a good backlog of guildleves and rested experience ready and waiting when I logged in Friday.
