Ranks[]

To become an experienced crafter, every ten skill levels, you are required to prove to the guild that you "have what it takes" by crafting (or buying) an item of the guild's choosing. This item can be turned in once you have reached an "8" in skill (8, 28, 48, etc.), or higher skill (up to the cap).

Level Rank Acquired
8-10  Recruit
18-20  Initiate
28-30  Novice
38-40  Apprentice
48-50  Journeyman
58-60  Craftsman
68-70  Artisan
78-80  Adept
88-90  Veteran
98-100  Expert

Relations Between Crafts Above Skill Level 70[]

After you hit level 70 you get 40 levels to distribute among the other crafts you also have above level 70. Meaning you can get every single craft up to 70 without any issues, but post 70 you have 40 levels to distribute.

If you raise a craft skill past 70, after already having 40 levels distributed to other crafts above 70, the level of the crafts already above 70 will decrease, starting with the highest craft skill not gaining a level.

As Fishing and Synergy are not synthesis crafts (which use crystals) they are not subject to any of these limitations. You can level Fishing to 100, Synergy to 80, all the rest of the crafts to 70, and still have the 40 points left to distribute as you want.

To recap and delevel a previous craft back to 70 and journeyman talk to your current guildmaster and she/he will give you the choice to do so.
