User:Meilin/Bonecraft Guide

From Akaitenshi

So, you wanna take Bonecraft to 60, and not completly go broke? (What were you thinking...) Well, time to try Meilin's "I will not go broke" Bonecrafting guide.
Warning! This is not a fast way to go 1-60, this is a guide to help you break even/profit more then 80% of the time and will require alot of farming. Sure if you wanna buy all the materials, be my guest. I look at all crafts and try to figure the cheapest way to play the market. Remeber to check the AH frequently and take advantage of any +1 items you get! Maybe I should of called this The Budget Bonecrafting Guide.

This guide focuses on alot of farming, alot of time, and alot of desysthisis.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
I'm warning you, I don't lie when I say this.

• For the love of god, LEVEL LEATHERCRAFT WITH BONE.
  • Some people do Leather, Wood, Gold, and Cloth along with Bone. I manage to get by, and make profit by just leather. If you plan on going any higher then 60 though, You might wanna look into more subs.
• TH is really, really nice.
• A fast way to get to Windurst.
• Atleast one empty mule, or an entire empty mog safe/locker. (You think I'm joking...)

WHAT IS NICE TO HAVE

• If you can manage to get Mogenhancement:Desynthesis, thats awsome.
• A chocobo with Burrow and/or Bore, and investing alot of time in Chocobo Digging.
  • You can dig with a rental bird, but Burrow and Bore make your life alot easier.

How this guide will work....

Rank, Level's

• Test item to advance to the next rank.

<b<Level X-X</b>

• • Crystal
  • Ingrediants

Farming areas, Notes, and other worthwile information here.

Amateur, Lv.1-10

• Test Item: Shell Ring

Level 1-4

• Bone Hairpin
  • Wind Crystal
  • Bone Chip

Farm Bone Chips from the skeletons in King Ramp's Tomb. They drop like rain. You can try selling these at the lowbie AH's (Becareful not to flood!) Best best though, Desynth them with a Lightning Crystal instead. Note: Bone Hairpins are used in creating the Eldritch Bone Hairpin, I see no market for these items and neither should you.

Level 4-9

• Bone Arrowheads
  • Wind Crystal
  • Bone Chip x2

More Bone Chips! Again, farm in the tomb for the chips. A long time ago, Arrowheads used to stack in 12 and they sold like hotcakes in the San d'Oria AH. Now they stack to 99 and its impossible to get a whole stack to sell. If you have the time, spend a few nighs AFK'd outside the Woodworking Guild. If not, just NPC them. You arent loosing much if you farm the chips anyway.

Recruit, Lv.11-20

• Test Item: Bone Ring

Level 9-15

• Fang Necklace
  • Earth Crystal
  • Bat Fang x4
  • Black Tiger Fang
  • Bone Chip x2
  • Grass Thread

Big level gap there. Still, if your farming all these materials, it shouldnt be much of a loss. Chips easy to come by, and Bats in the tomb also drop fangs like rain. Main reason this recipe is here - Spike Necklaces. If you get even one HQ, thats plenty of profit. Make and NPC Fang's, AH Spike's. Keep an eye on the AH before making these.

Level 9-16

• Gelatin
  • Fire Crystal
  • Bone Chip x4
  • Distilled Water

HUGE level gap there. Again, farm chips from King Ramp's and distilled water is insanely cheap from NPCs. A better synth then Fang Necklaces, but to each his own. Sell this to the Windy/Jeuno AH's for a decent profit. Good, cheap synth to go on.

Level 10-17

• Bone Ring
  • Wind Crystal
  • Bone Chip
  • Sheep Tooth

Ah, a nice, cheap synth to do for a while, AND its your guild test item! Now, when I told you to level leather with bone, I wasnt joking. Farm sheeps for teeth, and turn the skins into leather. Keep an eye on the lowbie AH's to sell for a decent profit, or keep to make Bone armor. If you don't know where to get Bone Chips by now, quit and go do Fishing. Make and desynth these until you reach cap. You'll need to use one of the next level synths, or push your luck with various peices of Bone armor for skills to hit Lv.18 to turn in your test item.

Level 15-18

• Bone Mask
  • Earth Crystal
  • Bone Chip
  • Giant Femur
  • Sheep Leather

I honestly DO NOT reccomend this synth at all, if nothing more to get you the one skill poing you need to get to Lv.18. If you make the Sheep Leather by farming Sheeps from the synth above, and farm the Bone Chips, you should be in the clear, as Giamt Femurs are very cheap. You can farm them from Tahrongi Canyon Dhalmel's as well. They sell slowly on the AH, and can be desynthed. Just an option for you to look at.

Novice, Lv.21-30

• Test Item: Beetle Earring

Level 18-21

• Carapace Powder
