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
<b<Level X-X</b>
- Crystal
- Ingrediants
Farming areas, Notes, and other worthwile information here.
Recruit, 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.
Initiate, Lv.10-20
- 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.
Level 9-16
- Gelatin
- Fire Crystal
- Bone Chip x4
- Distilled Water
Ouch, HUGE level gap there. Again, farm chips from King Ramp's and distilled water is insanely cheap from NPCs
