Leathercraft Guide by Galvaya
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
Leathercraft guide By, Galvaya of Lakshmi
This guide I developed for myself, and thought it would make a good guide for others to use. I spiced it up, added colors, and pictures for everyone, to not make it so mundane.
This guide is intended for a cheap/easy way to go from Level 40, to 100 in leather craft,using items that are easy to farm, and items that NPC for a fairly good rate.
I found a website that from my own experience works well to obtain skill ups. [FFXI Crafting Timer] To use: you enter the crystal you are using, your level of current craft, and craft cap. Press "Calculate Difficulty" Then once the numbers appear on the right hand side,(In the #4 box) click on the numbers, and it will give you an estimated explanation of how well you should be able to obtain a skill-up, pertaining to which direction you are facing, and which kind of support you are using.
Enjoy.

When you are Lv 63
Cap-69-Beak Jerkin

- (Side note, Seeing that Wyverns can be a bit to handle solo at most times. It might be a good idea to make it a habit to buy the Wyvern Skin off of the Jeuno/Whitegate Auction House. As well as the High-Quality Coeurl Hides By starting to buy them now, you should have a sufficient amount ready by the time you're ready to attempt getting lv 95. Otherwise, by waiting at lv 90ish to buy them. You're going to take a few days most likely to get enough skins to skill up on.)

- (Also, varying on which coeurl you farm off of, save any H.Q coeurl hides you receive, you'll need them to reach lv 95-100, as well. start buying them off the AH to save on a mule for when you are 95)
