Vana'diel contains a number of crafting guilds which players can join in order to craft (or fish) various items. There are also a number of Hobbies which players can utilize to obtain materials to aid in these crafts.

Ranks
|
All crafts start at level 0 and max out at level 100. Each 10 level interval has an associated rank, as per the table. To progress to the next rank, crafters much speak to the appropriate NPC from their guild and trade them the requested item. This can be done no earlier than two levels below cap eg. a recruit item can be traded between levels 8-10.

Relations Between Crafts Above Skill Level 70
After you hit level 60, you get 40 levels to distribute among the other crafts you also have above level 60. Meaning, you can get every single craft up to 60 without any issues, but post-60 you have 40 levels to distribute. The decimal portion of your level is also counted and rounded up, as in, if your Woodworking was at 63.4, you would have 40 - 4 (3.4 rounded up), or 36 levels left to distribute.
If you raise a craft skill past 60, after already having 40 levels distributed to other crafts above 60, the level of the crafts already above 60 will decrease, starting with the highest craft skill not gaining a level.
As Fishing is not synthesis crafts (which use crystals), it is not subject to any of these limitations. You can level Fishing to 100, all the rest of the crafts to 60, and still have the 40 points left to distribute as you want.
Also, once you have more than one craft above 60.0 and have less than 10 craft skill level points of the 40 left, you will not be able to change guilds until you "renounce" your rank in one of those guilds, which drops that craft to Craftsman level 60.0. To do this, or delevel one of those crafts in general, talk to one of your current guildmasters and he/she will give you the choice to renounce your rank in one of your crafts over 60.0. You will not be able to choose how many skill points you wish to drop. |}
Crafting Tips and Guides
If you are below a recipe's cap, you can start attempting synthesis at 15 levels below it (this includes sub-crafts). Any gear or synthesis support counts toward this figure. You can now gain synthesis skillups only up to the cap. Your base level must be within 5 level of a synthesis cap (not including gear/support) in order to receive a skillup off a failed synthesis.
The level range in the table below represents your skill level in relation to the recipe skill level. "0" represents your skill level equaling the recipe skill level. It is generally believed that the following results are accurate. These are, however, assumptions only.
| Level Range | (-10) - (-1) | 0 - 10 | 11 - 30 | 31 - 50 | 51 - 70 | 71 - 90 | 91 - 100 |
| Success Rate | 50% | 95% (w/o crafting ring) | |||||
| HQ Rate | <1% | 1.5% (1/64) | 6.25% (1/16) | 25% | 50% | 50% | 50% |
Superstitions
- There is no correlation between HQ rates and day, moon phase, direction, or any of the other voodoos various crafters have come up with over the years.
