In FFXIV, you can level every job on a character, including crafting. But for the Disciple of the Hand profession, to gain experience points, you need to craft rather than run dungeons.

You can get standard experience points by crafting items normally. Finishing tradecraft levequests or crafting levequests is one of the best ways to upgrade quickly.

Where to unlock levequests?

If you are a new player, you need to unlock the levequests first, which include：

battlecraft leves for battle jobs

tradecraft leves for crafting jobs

fieldcraft leves for gathering jobs

You have to continue your main scenario missions until you finish one of the following level 9 missions, depending on your starting city:

UI’dah - Way Down in the Hole

Limsa Lominsa - Just Desserts

Gridania - Spirithold Broken

After completing the quest, go to the adventurer's guild in your city, you will find a Levemete NPC waiting for you, and will give you a level 10 quest:

UI’dah - Leves of Horizons

Limsa Lominsa - Leves of Swiftprech

Gridania - Leves of Benbranch

Completing the corresponding quest will unlock low-level battlecraft leves and all tradecraft leves in the cities.

Until level 50, all tradecraft leves will not appear in one place. There are only level 1-45 tradecraft leves in the starter cities. In addition, only certain cities have specific crafting leves.

UI’dah - Alchemist, Goldsmith, Weaver

Limsa Lominsa - Armorer, Blacksmith, Culinarian

Gridania - Carpenter, Leatherworker

But the good news is that the higher-level tradecraft leves are all in one place:

Level 50-58: in Ishgard

Level 60-68: in Kugane

Level 70-78: in the Crystarium

As the level cap rises, this pattern will continue.

Choose levequests in your level range

You can choose levequests, and then check your levequest allowances. One allowance can choose one levequest. Everyone can get 3 allowances every 12 hours, up to 100. Don’t forget to check the timer list in the menu to confirm when the next levequest allowances appear.

Craft the items listed in the quest

You will see the items you need on the levequest page. Sometimes you only need to craft and hand in one item, other times 3 items are needed. Both normal quality and high-quality items are okay, but high-quality items will give you double rewards! In addition, the levequest that requires 3 items will ask you if you want to turn in more, that is, 9 items. This requirement makes the most effective use of your allowance.

Of course, if you don’t want to spend time crafting items, you can also buy them on the market board. So having enough FFXIV Gil can also save you time to some extent. Because grind FFXIV Gil is also a long process in FFXIV, more and more players choose to buy FFXIV Gil from IGGM, because it can be said to be the fastest and money-saving way.
