#ff14 crafting

The sprint towards the final stage of every Splendorous tool has begun!

I do not specialize in CRP and my brain wants me to get the tools in order by how the jobs are listed on the character profile, so this was a good start to figure out roughly how annoying making a pile of expert crafts would be without specialist benefits.

Also, I hate how stiff the animation is in the cutscenes where your WoL looks over their brand-new relic (it's the same in the Manderville relic quests as it is the the Splendorous ones), what the hell are they doing with their free hand (among other quibbles)?! I'd also love it if they'd show the relics being made rather than cutting to black with banging noises, but something something limited staff and resources, so I'll just live with it and skip the cutscenes after I've seen them once.

But the worst part is done.

The basement of my FC's mansion is a crafting dungeon made by yours truly, using as few slots as possible so the people working on the main and upper floors had enough slots for their designs that people would be more likely to see. ❤️

GRINDY GRIND GRIND IS OVER, now resuming normal activity

(MASSIVE PROPS to @fisherfruity for his video guides and doing all the research for every fish ever, the Stage 6 grind was sooooo quick and smooth compared to MIN and BTN)

finally prepared for the sisyphean task of levelling crafters (bought my level 21 set and every class hand items, along with a ton of materials and crafter food (surprisingly cheap?))

any tips i should know before going in?
