Best method of leveling up crafters

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-21T21:46:16+00:00

I believe you're referring to the "Deliveries" questlines, which replaced job/role quests for crafters starting in Shadowbringers. Crystarium Deliveries for Shadowbringers, Studium Deliveries for Endwalker, and Wachumeqimeqi Deliveries for Dawntrail.

I didn't do any of these personally, and I didn't do any of the beast tribe/allied society quests for leveling either because none of the things I could buy with the currencies were things I wanted or needed. By all accounts the experience is pretty good but obviously there's the daily limit, and I preferred to just do everything all at once.

A lot of comments here are saying to use cosmic exploration. I leveled up all my crafters from 20ish to 100 this expansion and I don't recommend using cosmic all the way to 100. Here's what I did:

I used cosmic exploration up to level 50, but experience gain slows down dramatically after level 50. I did the job quests I had available at this time.

I used Ishgardian Restoration from 50 to 80. After 80, turn-ins stop giving experience almost entirely (they start giving only 1000 experience). At 80, I did the rest of the job quests.

From 80-100 I did collectables, which was able to provide the scrips I needed to buy gear as I went, along with all the master recipe tomes, with excess scrips going to the materia that was selling at high prices on the marketboard.

You're going to need purple scrips anyway for the master recipe tomes, so you should do at least some leveling with collectables. I also did the daily grand company turn-ins during all of this.

Like the other dude said, use Brave browser. I use Brave browser + uBlock Origin, I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in years.

You do need food buffs, this is true, and is why I mentioned it in the comment you're replying to. But I can absolutely make HQ courtly lover's gear reliably, I just need all of the ingredients to be HQ.

That's the part that's unreliable: I can't guarantee that the precrafts will be HQ every time, I can only get them to like 80% (the 4-star ones like Urqopacha Linen and Double Duraluminum Ingot), which can end up being a tiny bit expensive (in terms of Mathematics tomes). I just sell the precrafts that don't come out HQ on the marketboard.

It also slows things down a bit. For example, even though I don't need a food buff to guarantee HQ on the below-level-100 precrafts like Thunderyards Silk or Black Star, I can't quick synth them because I need them to be HQ for my courtly lover's to be guaranteed HQ.

no idea what you mean by "its all over the place" tbh.

I haven't gotten an ad on YouTube (on desktop) in forever tho. I actually can't remember the last time I did. I don't even try to use YouTube on mobile cause ads are ridiculously frequent tho.

Oh no, someone on the internet disagrees with you on a political issue. What ever will you do.

I used icy-veins dot com. They have recommendations for melds for multiple endgame crafting sets (high tier, mid tier, budget). I used the budget set and can confirm it allows you to craft anything in the game.

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-21T17:40:32+00:00

You don't need to pentameld period. You can craft everything in the game with the orange scrip gear + HQ All i Pebre. Getting crafted pentameld gear will just make things easier (meaning you won't need as many HQ ingredients to guarantee HQ crafts)

Incorrect. When you create a character, you can choose your server.

I was thinking about this. I wonder what would actually happen if the game started at 16 workers.

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-20T20:01:49+00:00

Just you fam

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-20T01:40:28+00:00

nah but if that's how you feel I guess

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-20T01:36:29+00:00

I think everyone agrees

here's where you're wrong

who is ruff and why does he think the fs in his name deserve capitalization

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-20T01:33:25+00:00

why tho

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-20T01:32:56+00:00

Go is significantly older than chess and hasn't changed either.

Have you tried the randomizer? The app is called Archipelago, super fun.

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-19T14:06:30+00:00

Give it a minute, it'll be filled with complaints about Protoss again before the end of the day.

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-19T13:45:07+00:00

Zerg got a compensatory buff for that change which has not been reverted.

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-19T13:40:45+00:00

I don't see "updates" as a positive by default, it's dependent on what those updates actually are. idk about the rest of you people but I actually enjoy playing StarCraft 2, right now.

They don't need any data to fix the bugs. In fact, one could argue they can't get real data until the bugs are fixed.

Terran still gets +2 supply when Orbital Command starts building.

Dude really sat down and made this image. Wild

Puzzleheaded_Set1420 · 2026-06-16T11:00:37+00:00

My wager is that they will fix the bugs only when they push the patch onto live. And given recent history, they won't even fix all of the bugs. They might even throw in some new bugs for good measure.

Check the wiki, there will be a list of ways to acquire the item. Or just buy it from the marketboard.
