Enter message:	[quote][i]Quote from: wirving[/i] Craft is not hard to start. Join all the guilds, by speaking with NPC either in the guild or just outside the guilds. You will know when you have joined, because each guild will give you a crystal for signing up. Sandy- Tanner's guild (leathercraft) S Sandy Woodworking guild N Sandy Smithing guild N Sandy Windy- Cooking Guild-windy Waters Clothcraft Guild -windy Woods Bonecraft Guild - Windy Woods Bastok Alchemy Guild- B. Mines Goldsmith Guild - B. Markets Once you join a guild (and you can join them all) there are NPCs that will give you directions on what materials you can craft. Crystals are the needed items to combine ingredients. From your items list select a crystal to use it. You will then get a window-that looks just like delivery box/trade window. Enter the items you wish to synth/craft, press ok, and off you go. Character will begin the synth/craft process, if the required items are all present, and you have enough skill level to make the item. Each guild will offer you synth support-a little support is free, a little more support will cost some gil. Support temporarily raises your ability in that particular craft helping you craft something a little beyond your current skill level. Support does not last for long. If you plan to craft something beyond your current level (i get support if trying anything over 6 levels higher) make sure you have all the necessary materials with you. Support does not last long enough to run to the AH/shops for supplies. This website has an excellent recipe guide per guild. I strongly suggest you take a look at it. It will tell you what type of crystal you need and what materials you need to make something, and most importantly what level the item you are making will cap. Cap means, for example, sheep leather (recipe given in previous message) caps at level 2. This means, that once your leathercraft reaches level 2, you can continue to make this item, but you will no longer skill up from making it. Skilling up takes some time, but the rewards are worth the effort. The higher your craft level, the better the product you can craft. Also check the status of the craft...menu/stats/craftskills (just like you check your job levels, weapons skills, etc). If your craft skill is capped (blue on my computer) this means you can no longer level it up. Just like your weapon skills-once capped you need to level to raise the cap. When you see a craft capped, go to the guild. At each guild there is an NPC who will tell you it is time to learn more. This NPC will ask that you craft a particular item. You then craft this item, trade it to the NPC and your cap will be removed, allowing you to skill up that craft some more! You will receive a new title- recruit, apprentice, etc as you level up. Synth/Crafting is not always successful. You will break the crystal and sometimes lose the ingredients. Dont be discouraged. You will succeed much more often then fail, if you try to craft items within you skill range. For me this is 5-6 levels. For example, if my leathercraft is level 5...i can usually craft something that caps at level 10-11. Crafting is fun, can be financially rewarding, and also very addictive. I hope this helps you get started, and when you get to level 100 Alchemy, i need some items crafted![/quote]
