A decent selling bridge between Bone Rings and Beetle Rings. Farm the shells from any beetles (I found the ones in Jugner to be the best.) Keep the Beetle Jaws you get for your next synth. If you know any Clothcrafters who are skilling up on Hunter's Cotton, sell it to them!

I am not a big fan of this synth. Not only do you flood yourself with Geletin, its a very small level gap, I never got many skills from it. If you have a friend in Cooking who is willing to buy it all off you, great. Go for it. If not, just skip this synth and go with Horn Hairpins. If your leveling leather along with bone, like I said, this is also a good spot to make Dhalmel Leather for skills, along with Bonecraft skills.

One item synth, and can be desynthed! Larger level gap then Gelatin, and also coinsided with Ram Leather. Spend a day THF/RNG (or RNG/THF, or BST/THF.. Widescan and Treasure Hunter, get my drift?) and go. You can do a majority of your synthing of this item outside the guild as well. Desynth 99% of these, put one up on the AH of every 24 or so you make. It used in the pre-req for Sleepga 2. Again, Ram Leather for profit as well. Becareful not to flood the AH.

You can farm Fiend Blood from any low-level bats, or even buy them for 600g from an NPC in Kazham (don't do this.) Femur's can be obtained though Chocobo Digging, or farming Dhalmel's (Making their hides into leather for more profit) Grass Thread is generally cheap enough to buy.

Revision as of 22:43, 15 January 2008

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....

Contents

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
    • Wind Crystal
    • Beetle Shell x2

A decent selling bridge between Bone Rings and Beetle Rings. Farm the shells from any beetles (I found the ones in Jugner to be the best.) Keep the Beetle Jaws you get for your next synth. If you know any Clothcrafters who are skilling up on Hunter's Cotton, sell it to them!

Level 18-25

  • Beetle Ring
    • Wind Crystal
    • Beetle Jaw

One item synths are my favorite things. Make the rings, desynth any NQ's, sell any HQ's. You'll loose nothing. You can start this synth as early as 18, but be prepaired to loose some Jaws that early on.

Level 25-28

  • Gelatin x4
    • Fire Crystal
    • Giant Femur
    • Distilled Water x4

I am not a big fan of this synth. Not only do you flood yourself with Geletin, its a very small level gap, I never got many skills from it. If you have a friend in Cooking who is willing to buy it all off you, great. Go for it. If not, just skip this synth and go with Horn Hairpins. If your leveling leather along with bone, like I said, this is also a good spot to make Dhalmel Leather for skills, along with Bonecraft skills.

Level 25-29

  • Horn Hairpin
    • Wind Crystal
    • Ram Horn

One item synth, and can be desynthed! Larger level gap then Gelatin, and also coinsided with Ram Leather. Spend a day THF/RNG (or RNG/THF, or BST/THF.. Widescan and Treasure Hunter, get my drift?) and go. You can do a majority of your synthing of this item outside the guild as well. Desynth 99% of these, put one up on the AH of every 24 or so you make. It used in the pre-req for Sleepga 2. Again, Ram Leather for profit as well. Becareful not to flood the AH.

Blahhh. =

Level 29-33

  • Beetle Arrowheads x6
    • Wind Crystal
    • Beetle Jaw
    • Bone Chip

If you are leveling Woodworking, or know someone who is, this is a great synth for profit. If not, just skip this one. Stacks sell too slowly.

Level 29-37

  • Horn Ring
    • Wind Crystal
    • Fish Scales
    • Ram Horn

If you've been Chocobo Digging, you'll have plenty of Fish Scales on hand, and again, Bone and Leather go wonderful together! Synth and Desynth, as usual, Sell any HQs.

Level 30-39

  • Bone Cudgel
    • Wind Crystal
    • Bone Chip x6
    • Giant Femur
    • Grass Cloth

If you want to farm up all those Bone Chips for a very.. neglible profit. Go ahead. I highly advise you to avoid this synth.


Level 32-40

  • Titanictus Shell
    • Lightning Crystal
    • Armored Pisces OR Titanictus

If you are a Fisherperson, and can pull these babies up in mass quanties, THIS IS YOUR SKILL UP SYNTH. The Shells sell well on the AH, and you will make a ton of profit. If you don't fish, dont bother. Buying the fish from the AH will cost you too much.

Lv.41-50

Level 37-43

  • Horn Arrowheads x6
    • Wind Crystal
    • Bone Chip
    • Ram Horn

I told you to level Leathercraft along with Bone. Until you hit 40, craft with support from the guild, stockpile Ram Horns on a mule, synth Ram Leather for profit, once you hit 40, craft these outside the guild while you farm.

Level 40-47

  • Horn
    • Wind Crystal
    • Beetle Jaw
    • Ram Horn

Synth and Desynth these babies until you hit cap. Stockpile Ram Horns like crazy, please. Sell HQ's (This is a + to Elegy, all Bards would want a HQ of this) and maybe a NQ here and there.

BLAH 51-60

Level 47-53

  • Scorpion Arrowheads x6
    • Wind Crystal
    • Bone Chip
    • Scorpion Claw

More arrowheads. Were finally into Scorpion territory as well. Farm the claws from Crawler's Nest. Mushussu have a 100% drop on 2 claws and one shell. Stockpile the Scorpion Shells on a mule. Until you hit 50, Stay in the guild while you craft. After 50, feel free to craft in Crawler's Nest while you wait on repops. Sell to your friendly neighborhood Woodworker, or NPC, for profit. They often sell too slow on the AH.

Level 50-57

  • Blood Stone
    • Wind Crystal
    • Fiend Blood
    • Giant Femur
    • Grass Thread

I got sick of Scorpions and decided to synth something new. Don't do what I did and stick with Scorpion Arrowheads until 53. You can farm Fiend Blood from any low-level bats, or even buy them for 600g from an NPC in Kazham (don't do this.)
