Talk:Clothcraft Guide by Ctownwoody

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Just wanted to note that the guild will not buy Heko Obis, so you might want to NPC those puppies to Nchaa's Good Goods instead. ^^ NanaaMihgo 11:13, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Simple pattern for those that want to farm yag neclesses.
Yag neclesses + wind crystal = Grass Thread x 3 (Cap 1)
Grass Thread x 3 + earth crystal = Grass Cloth x 1 (cap 4)
Grass Cloth x 2 + Grass Thread x 1 + earth crystal = Cape (cap 8)
Also
Grass Cloth x 2 + wind crystal = Hachimaki (cap 11)
NOTE: You can probably sell the necklesses and buy these mets with some gill left over, which is more efficent, however i personaly know some ppl that would rather do this synth pattern; considering it 'free' hence the reason i mention it.

I've always found that Desynthesis of certain Beastman items is an excellent source of materials. In particular, Antican Robes are a good source of cotton thread/cloth, and Gigas Socks are an excellent source of Wool Thread, especially if you can head for Lufaise Meadows and wipe out the locals there. My clothcraft's only around 52, so I'm not sure how effective things like Corse Robes and Poroggo Hats are given their rarity. You could also go after Tonberry Coats for linen, but the risk of eating a high-powered Grudge while farming seems dangerous. Tristan Kain 12:00, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

• Tristan, Absolutely! Desynthing Beastman items is a great way to get threads for making cloths. I only do it when I get the drops though, preciously because desynthesis is so touchy. From my understanding, Corse Robes and Poroggo Hats are above 60, but don't quote me on that. But Gigas, Tonberry, Goblin and Antican cloth-armors are worth keeping some lightning crystals on hand for (when farming).

Cotton

Do you have anymore cotton related recipes that may be used for skill. I have found on more than one occasion my servers guild shop has the cotton for cheap. I know that cotton threads are clothcraft 11. I plan on making a bunch of this while saruta cotton is still at its lowest.

• Not using Saruta Cotton. Save them for things like Bronze Bed or Shinobi-Tabi synths. Cotton Thread itself can run for 120 each (based on Selbina's lowest price), which can make Cotton Cloth a worthy synth. However, whenever I raid a guild for cheap Cotton Thread, i usually end up making Velvet Cloth but that's only because I can. --Ctownwoody 15:07, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Red Grass Thread (15)

Hey CTW, I know you have a prohibition against farming except when it's to resolve a supply issue, or if it's Ram Skin, but this seems like a really easy way to bridge the gap from Hakimachi to Linen Thread. Head to Giddeus with a few stacks of Sickles. Red Moko Grass is a common drop there, after an hour you should have 3-4 stacks. That should be enough to bridge the gap, and the thread/cloth is disturbingly expensive. On Quetz a single piece of cloth goes for 5k (used in gobbiebag). --QuetzElohim 17:53, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
