[Read Description] FFXIV: A Beginner’s Guide to Crafting Basics

Update: Endwalker is removing HQ gathered items. You can still make HQ products like intermediate items and gear, but any and all gathered materials will no longer have HQ. So you can’t gather HQ materials for better results or make up for poor gear.

This video was rough to do, and I genuinely hope I help you all with this one. But hoo boy this was… the hardest video I made. Period. AST was a cake walk despite being way longer. But here it is, my attempt to be in-depth with beginner concepts… enjoy?

Note: In this video is footage pre-dating the combo action on Basic into Standard Touch
