Woodworking 101 (NOT "workworking"!)

[Blain]

Just to let ppl know, crafting Shihei's before lvl 26 WW is a bad idea, I just did that today and lost a lot of money from failures lol.

Aside from that i did get to lvl 28 from 22 and am now a Novice ^^ and the Guide is awesome! i didnt know what to do after the Shihei

Thanks again

thanks for the guide n_n! it's really helpful..
the only thing is that ever sincei started crafting, i went from 4000 gil to 100-200..(i'm poor, i know =_=) and i've only gotten 1200-1300 gil D: so i lost a lot~
is that normal, or am i just confused about something i didn't know o_o?

neighbortaru Edit: Please remain on topic

does anyone know a alternative from lvl 15 woodworking up?
i keep burning Lightning Crystals like its eum free to get lol
anyway desynthing can be fun and all but that craft fails a LOT even with the advance synthesis support +1 (the one who asks for gil to make your synth go better)

Do yew lumber. Wind crystal plus yew log. It caps at 22, whereas maple sugar caps at 21.

I dont think Shihei ever made a profit outside of HQing it..>_>;

I'm lvl 68 and about done lvling off of ancient lumber. My question is if Scimitar Cactus is a decent thing to be lvl'ing off of. It caps at 78, so it would be a good inbetween until I can skill off of Elshimo Palms, which are also a gardening furnishing, but they seem to sell more on the AH. Are these usually npc'd? And if so, to whom? I realize I'm past the 50's so I'm not going to be making money by any means, but most of the other options just seem to be equivalent to just flushing my money down the drain.
If anyone can offer some advice, I'd love to hear it.

I find it funny that 72-80 looks a lot harder than 80-90. I'm trying to stockpile cheap ebony logs, make them into lumber, and then turn them into poles later... I'm still looking into things to make other than those crappy poles.

Is there a recommended level to start Woodworking?
I went to a Logging Point in E. Ronfaure...
And, all I got was this damn Ronfaure Chestnut.

It's all so daunting.

Hey thanks for this guide, it'd be nice to see a stickied 60-100 guide but I think I am gonna stop WW at 60 and take up a new craft.

Nice guide. It helped a lot. At what levels can you take the tests to get your rank higher? I know the first one is lvl 8, but after that is it 16 or 18?
