FFXIV Blacksmith Power Leveling and Marketing Guide | Getting Started Crafting

hello everybody and welcome to my blacksmith power leveling and marketing guide in this video we're going to be focusing on a few things but mostly centered around the conversation of leaves there's obviously things that you want to consider when it comes to the beastmen tribes various other factors when it comes to leveling your blacksmith in the world of Final Fantasy 14 however this is again going to just focus in on primary leaves and how to manage it for profit or at least breaking even when you decide to go ahead and level up your blacksmith now if you're going to consider doing crafting I would highly encourage you to also check out gathering to kind of complement whatever craft that you want to go in so that way you can end up having materials easily at your you know disposal for whatever you need to help reduce overall cost but beyond that again this is going to be focusing in on just the leaves and how you can ideally do this break even or for a profit this also has another side to it that even if you're not using this to level here is going to be some things that are usually going to be in demand that you can ideally either sell or decide that if you're sitting on your leave allowances that you can go ahead and use now before we go ahead and dive in I do want to say welcome to the workforce 2 millionaire mindset and Roo Chico M 115 strengths 41 I'm assuming J corn and Gabrielle plays welcome to workforce do you guys want to be like these guys be sure to hit that subscribe button hit that like button on this video if you like what we do over here I worked a game and leave us a comment below let us know what you're thinking or if you have any tips for yourself but without further ado let's go ahead and dive in to this guide so in order to become a bikes but you need to go to the blacksmith guild in limbs at Lomenzo you can see it located right here on the map around 10.2 and 15.0 you know in limbs loom enza's upper decks this is where it all gets started and honestly I probably would recommend personally holding off on leaves just as you get started to kind of get a feel for it because there's really not going to be a lot of value but regardless of that we're gonna go ahead and start with the leaves that are available once you have unlocked them at level and in the main game so at level 10 that's when you can start to kind of branch out and check out other jobs and classes like the crafting system so with that unlocked you come to the guild receptionist and that is what's going to give you your first hammer so that you can start melding that metal and forging weapons same thing also applies if you're interested in armor Smith different job for a different day and a different guide but this is where it all kicks off now before we actually head over to the drowning winch where you pick up the leaves I do want to highlight these two NPCs these guys have a lot of very cheap materials that you can use to buy in quantity you don't need to go form these up for yourself you don't need to go buy these from the market board save yourself a lot of time and effort copper ore for example being able to buy that here so you can buy a lot of the stuff really cheaply and effectively so also if you're ever looking for a copper ignant or oppressing it this is a good base price so if you see them on the market for more than this you know where to go so again go check out these guild suppliers it's gonna help save you a lot of money help also get you started with materials you need really to kind of help boost you up to level 15 but beyond that let's go ahead and show you what the leaves I'm talking about and how I use my method so to get started go to limbs and lemons as drowning winch you can see here at eleven point O and ten point nine you're gonna talk with the leave meet here and select trade craft leaves now I've got all these leaves unlock and we're actually only gonna focus in on a few handy once what are we focusing it on anything that's stackable so items that require you to make a weapon or a tool I personally try to avoid you can however use this method and take advantage of them but this guy it's not going to highlight those so we're gonna focus in on hels belles right here this is three bronze ignites and you can see here the reward right now is at ninety five now the reward will vary you can see a nice little XP of you know four hundred and eighty experience as a high level one this isn't going to mean anything to me as a low-level player with a hundred leave allowances using this method can really kind of help feed you a lot of XP and pursue past just hard grinding these items especially from one now what do I mean by doing this for a profit every time I turn in this leave I'm gonna get right now 95 now again that's gonna vary the rewards are gonna change here but we're gonna use this as a base to complete this leave I need to turn in at least three bronze ingots so what that means is that if I can find or craft a bronze ignant for less than 33 Gil each I'm making money on a normal quality for a high quality that's going to be at 65 high quality you know Gil each because when you turn into high quality item the rewards double now you might be asking yourself what is it a leave allowance what does this mean I just see this next to my name I don't know what that means well every 12 hours you're gonna get three leave allowances and this is going to stack up to a hundred once it hits a hundred you're not gonna get another allowance and they're just going to be sitting there so this gives you a lot of flexibility when usually leveling another battle class or gatherer or in this case a crafter so that's the method that we're going to use the reason I want things that are stackable is I don't want things filling up my armory chest or my inventory now that's because I also multi craft I also have all my jobs at 70 that is why my inventory and my armory chest is typically full you might not be in that situation and so you could easily go and take a look at the other leaves here now as you unlock them some of them you know you might have to go out to different camps different 8th or Rights throughout the course we're not gonna focus in on that because we're just focusing on what can be stacked what you can craft in bulk either doing Creek crafts or what you can buy from the markets so let's do some math yay yeah Matt so if you're going to spend if your break-even is 33 Gil for a normal or 65 Gil for a high-quality not factoring in delivery frees from the market anything less than 33 Gil for a normal or 65 Gil for a high quality means you're making money so just as an example I went to look up frogs in it on the market itself and they had a number of these they were actually below the price here so one was at 7 for a stack of 13 turning those in is going to keep netting me Gil and I'm highlighting the image on this for you right now for the ones that weren't in limbs and lemons at the time meaning I'm not going to have to pay a delivery fee on that transaction so if I'm low level I want to just feed myself some experience and I find a really good deal on the market like this you can just buy these up you can just turn these in especially if you're just letting those allowances go to waste but let's go ahead and move on to another example if you go look at mending fences this is another level one this has a bronze rivets but you have to actually turn in five to complete this lead so what that means is right now with a reward of 97 or 98 that means you're gonna really kind of shoot for a break-even price around 20 so if you can find them for less than 20 each that's gonna be a profit Center for you or less than 40 each for a high quality that's gonna be where you start to make money but even at a break even if you're purchasing them that's where you're going to break even when you're using this for XP so next in the line we're looking at smelt and dealt and this is going to have you turn in five iron ignites so with that you can see a reward of 186 and so that's going to kind of average around 38 each or 75 for a high quality for your breakeven so if you could find an iron ignant for anything less than 38 or 75 high-quality you're going to be making money and then just at a bare minimum with no delivery fees factored into this equation that's your breakeven to where you're just using your leave allowances and it's not really costing you so you're not even buying experience you're just kind of trading it for your leave allowances that are continually going to fill up so even if you're thinking about this as a natural cadence in your day or in your week being that you get 42 leave allowances per week you can easily just kind of see and make sure that you aren't sitting on those especially if you don't have these crafting and gatherers leveled up this is more like watch a market filling in buy it when it's either breakeven or lower where you're making a little money and then just power level up your crap pings and gatherers next one we want to focus in on rivets riveting run here which is just a handful of iron rivets you just have to actually turn in one for this so from a break-even price right now you'd be looking at anything that's less than 133 or 260 for your turn ins for high quality so you would be real very easily profitable for that three thousand experience per turnin and easily anywhere from 133 to 260 Gil each unfortunately for the lack Smith this is where everything turns into crafting a file or a tool or a weapon and those things aren't really going to stack up so be wary of that you can easily do this in fact again same kind of principle applies look at what the reward is paying you and if you can find that item for less than that or if you can craft it for less than that you're gonna be either breaking even or you're gonna be profitable but again I kind of focus in on the turn-ins and on the flip side if you're looking and you have and you don't need the experience these could be ways that you could generate some money for yourself if you find a way because there's always going to be a demand for these items because people might be able to come and acquire them or if you find a really good deal and you're just wasting leaves themselves and you have nothing no need for them you can easily go and acquire those turn those in and get the additional Gil again watch your market fees if you don't know what I'm talking about if you buy from the same market of the city of the area and you don't you won't have to predict you won't have to pay a fee otherwise you will and sometimes I can actually throw off your your cost projections there and with that once you hit level fifty doing your crafting and your power leveling through this thing's method is so much easier because from fifty to sixty you get to come here to ishgard and talk to the temple leave me and then from sixty to seventy you get to be in agony and turn those in as well and the turnings are gonna be right next door which is really handy so let's go ahead and show you what I mean by this so go back to tradecraft leaves and then at level 50 you're gonna be looking for the bearings straight now based off the reward here you actually going to be turning in five me right nuggets to complete this the reward here is at five hundred and seventy two for that turn in so what you want to be looking for this you know around this level is around one hundred thirteen to break even for normal or 225 to break even for around high quality course the math is going to vary here depending on the reward so just kind of give it a take this is just a rough estimate for you to kind of kind of set your mind set because thankfully the reward doesn't jump up too dramatically but again that high quality is going to give you that double reward turn it for yourself the next jump is going to come here level 56 with unbreak this is gonna have you turn in three titanium ignant so around kind of you know 832 ish or like 816 sometimes somewhere around there in terms of your cost looking be looking for around like 272 275 280 for your reward structure here so for your break-even price on a normal thing about 272 to 280 or around 544 for a high-quality item for your turn it's so kind of play around with that that's gonna end up working out real well for you to break-even anything that you find less than that each is going to profit Center you it just can to feed you that Gil and then if also if you're using it for experience you're leveling for less than the cost of the item itself now then again ago we said in the beginning this video try to marry your crafting with a gathering kind of perspective because these are items and things that you might find constantly in the man constantly on the move which can help feed you plenty of Gil throughout the whole thing now we're gonna jump up to through thick and thin at level 58 this is Adam magnetite Nuggets here with a turn in a three so look at your reward and then essentially divided by three and that's gonna be your break-even price here so for me you know typically I would say anywhere from two eighty to eighty to ninety on a normal person and you know kind of versus a 260 to 270 280 for a high-quality sorry 565 80 for a high quality for that that turn in to be able to take advantage of the breakeven or anything less than profitable that pretty much wraps us up for this you'll continue to turn in those I'm breakers or the through thick and thins until you hit level 60 because that way you can buy up a whole stack and then go from there or you can craft up a whole stack and go from there and save on your inventory space our next stop takes us to goo Connie so in Coogan a we have kind of three tiers here the first ones at level 60 high steel nugget the beautiful thing about this is that you only need to turn in one so look at that turning in one and look at your reward and that is your break-even price so if you find these listed for anything less than that break-even price make that money otherwise if you're just using it for leveling you can go ahead and purchase the stacks of those and that way you can just turn through these and boost yourself up with that experience so times it by two for your high qualities now we're gonna jump into your level 64 which you're gonna be looking for your metal and metal leave here this is a I can't pronounce it Oh rush of running ignant and and this is also a turn into one so you easy math you can look at your reward structure and turn that in again times it by two for your high quality turn ins which is going to feed you with obviously more XP and than anything else and regardless of it you can just keep even if it's a multi turn in you can just keep turning those in so look for that price because we're looking at it on a per individual turnin and your final step here is going to be ignant or wing it for a multi been deulim ignant with again aeternam one that's six the 60 to 70 is so simple for blacksmith because essentially the easy math that you have here now if you're looking to craft this stuff yourself finally yeah I've given you the items and you can look it and do the math yourself depending on your rewards whether you want to purchase or if you want to just craft if you're crafting it and you have the materials because again you're teaming up with your gatherer and leveling them up as well you're just feeding yourself plenty of your guilt you're going to be getting this reward every time you turn it in and that's a beautiful thing so again you kind of structure it the best way that you can for your time investment I honestly love using the leave kind of turn in system to kind of blast pass and blast through these levels don't forget to obviously take advantage of Ruby sment rhymes and that's not necessarily what this guide covers this is to hopefully tell you one of two things if you're leveling and you're any and you want to do it for cheap team up with this on the cost sometimes the materials themselves to purchase them are quite expensive and the other reason why I actually focus in on this method is that typically these crafts to make those Ignat stew make these different things the recipes are actually very simple and also very easily to be afforded then again on the flip side if you're looking to try to profit the most and you don't need to turn in leaves for experience or you just want to know what was going to sell easily well on the market if you think about this price structure you know where to target your price and you know that people are going to either purchase this and you could try to go for some market dominance either way you want to you want to use this guide hopefully this has been a help now if you are crafting itself this is going to be something where when you're making the items themselves you want to factor that into the price because if it costs you more money to make the item you're going to have to do some conversions when it comes to exp per crap because again if you can purchase the item outright and turn it in with your leave allowances you're only gated by that now when you go and you craft the items you're gonna feed yourself with additional experience but take a look at the overall cost where is the cheapest way and cheapest point of entering sometimes it's starting right from scratch with taking everything making it as the Nuggets and then turning into the ingots maybe it's starting with the Nuggets and then turning into idiots but either way like don't be obsessed with the fact if you feel like you have to actually make all the items to turn them in you can actually do that at a loss depending on where the final price is structured anyway hopefully this has been a help hopefully that I've given you some information here to kind of help you a watch the markets be be aware of the leaves and then see pre craft the items that you need you can start crafting some of these items before you hit that level in which that you're turning them in I do that when I want to look and see like hey I know I don't have a stackable item until 64 what should I be making so that when I actually craft and level up and hit 64 all of a sudden I'm ready to go and then I can just turn those in and all of a sudden I go from 64 to 70 and I met cap wow it feels good it really helps to kind of level it up and so the last bit of point of this is that I'm gonna be putting out different guides on the on the different crafters kind of focusing all around this method so if you have tips or things that you really think I need to point out and my future guides be sure to leave them in the comments below but the other thing I just want to say before I go is that it's highly important that you focus in on finishing a craft you can sit here and try and focus in on all of them but that's going to require an insane amount of discipline and you might be that disciplined individual and for that I cheer you and I root for you and way to be better than I am but I find that I get more victory and more motivation from actually finishing the job itself so with that if you're that kind of person if you're like me finishing one craft and then focusing on another helps there is an exception though to this rule it might be more valuable to you to be able to get at least your crafts up to level 50 so that from an omni crafting perspective you can take advantage of some cross-class abilities which is going to make it overall easier to craft these items for turning because sometimes the pocket prices are not going to be profitable for you no matter what no matter what week you look at them so you're going to have to do some crafting when it all comes down to it but again you know maybe the best way to forward is to get to 50 and then you go and say yep I'm gonna take blacksmith all the way to 70 next thing then take you know my next you know craft all the way to 70 let me know what what one do you want me to focus in on next and the comments below thanks again to all our new workforce members we're really glad you here for works game my name's Ryan thank you so much for
