The GP request goes up one rank per day until it reaches your current rank then will reset to 1. The Item requested by the guild will be the same for EVERYONE on the current rank that day. (example if a veteran cook has grilled corn for a GP item all other ranks 3-10 that are on novice level for the day will have the same item. so a level 35 cook and a lvl 99 cook could have the same item on the same day). You can view a history of the recent requests as well as the other ranks and crafts at
www.ffrecipe.com The requested item will be valid for ONE 24 HOUR RL DAY starting and ending at 10am central (GMT-6) and you can recieve a maximum points per day as listed by NPC when asked "What are the current limits?" I reccomend starting as early as possible to get the GP needed for the Big Ticket items like gear or furniture. As a cook Raw fish handling was useful however knoodle neading I still have yet to use. The higher your cooking(crafting) level the more items can be acquired from NPC. You can also exchange GP for HQ crystal to sign unstackable non drink items/food. Also I find that the crafting gear helps with HQ and item loss but reduces the skill ups obtained when crafting items just above level, I also dont reccomend support unless the recipe is 5 levels or more over current since you recieve skill ups based on how difficult the recipe was(support and gear make it less difficult to craft). I hope this answered you questions about GP
