Let's Play Final Fantasy XIV - Part 24 - Getting Crafty

Part 24 of my 'Let's Play' gameplay and commentary in the MMO, Final Fantasy XIV, by Square Enix.

In this episode we take a break from combat to check out our crafting skills, as we take on a Culinarian Leve in Camp Drybone, followed by a Weaver Leve and another cooking session to test our mettle in this higher level area. We then head off out into the Thanalan wilderness to embark upon a Mining Leve as well, to round out our crafting and gathering activities.

You may want to advoid keeping your gear on when crafting or gathering unless they support that job. It helps them last longer because it with eventually break.

@kylesico912 ah, so that's why a lot of ppl craft with no clothes on.

Here is what the colors mean

White: The the normal state, all actions are at normal effectiveness.

Yellow: Effectivness and success rate of actions will be slightly lower, but the boost in quality if successful will be slightly greater.

Red: Effectiveness and success rate of actions will be lower, but the boost in quality will be even greater..

Rainbow pulsating: Effectiveness and success rate of Bold Synthesis is improved. Other actions seem to be effective as well.

Sparks: Unstable use wait.

@tawari6 the character design in the game is fantastic - especially the 'little people'! ;p

@TripLxChaos oh gawd really? eek! thanks for the tips =)

@PicomanGames haha sambonz i did the EXACT same thing on that EXACT mining quest going up and around and realizing it was below lol and on the day before i moved which was a short month ago and i havnt played since the move but i got the game again fixed my computer ad got everything set up so i will hopefully start again..just worried about how my life dropped 600hp and i died from a coblyn 2 levels lower than me so i dont know whats up. hoping to catch up on your videos and find an answer lol

[TripLxChaos]

@sambonz sweetheart i think waiting brings your durablity with a double increase per wait in a row, aka wait once durability goes down by 1 then 2 then 4 then 8 if you do it over n over be careful!

@UdaraStrifeVII hehe the cooking *is* intense! same with the weaving (tailoring). it's hard to convey on a video but believe me, you end up breaking out in a sweat lol! thanks for the kind words and i'm glad you're enjoying the series =)

Haha, I see that your a natural at mining. Though for cooking, which I was actually looking into, just looks flat out scary. The suspense just wouldn't let up! Still looks fun though with the detailed recipes. Keep up the awesome vids Seraphis/sambnonz! Also that shout-out thing is really cool.
