thistlechaser | FFXI: Crafting resource

The sometimes-grumpy-but-ever-sexy

alessar pointed me at the bestest website (for FFXI crafters) ever! TheCraft! They have guides for every single craft! (Whimper! I wish I had seen this site when I was just starting leathercrafting!) After reading through all their info, I now want to try almost all the other crafts! :) Of course I can't do that (right away), but I will likely be adding clothcrafting to the "things to do right after leathercrafting" list. (Unless there's a level 36+ clothcrafter around somewhere... Hmmm.)

TheCraft is an on-game linkshell, too! Eee, I've always said that there needed to be a crafting LS! They offered me a pearl, but I (very very very sadly) had to decline it. I have three LSs already! Unless the game adds some way to be on more than one at a time, I can't accept another. (Poor FI never ever sees me as it is! I've only been there once or twice!)

Dragonhope is probably the leatherworker I see the most of (and runs TheCraft). I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw her levels in everything:

Leathercraft: 89
Smithing: 53
Weaving: 60
Alchemy: 60
Bonecraft: 32
Woodworking: 38
Cooking: 30
Goldsmithing: 35
Fishing: 50

How amazingly crazy! How wonderful! How the heck did she do it? :) That's just too cool. I hope I can have that kind of leveling in so many crafts one day!

Oh, and the FFXI "IC" journal has been updated many times. I never remember to announce it here anymore. (Sorry!)
