I've been working like crazy for the past couple months on this, and I'm very, very close to being finished. I'm going to push very hard to release this on New Years Day 2020.
What the hell is a "Shade's Guide"?
For those who've never heard of it, ShadesGuide.com is basically a giant spreadsheet of absurdly detailed data tables that help you level up crafters in FFXIV:
Data for a Lv 74 CRP leve
And as of version 3, the guide will now also fully cover Ishgardian Restoration content:
Lv 60 ARM Ishgardian Restoration collectable data
The guide shows you exactly:
- the best way to level up all crating jobs from Lv 1 - 80
- what you need to craft
- how to craft it all
- how many materials you'll need
- where / how to get all of those materials (including whether or not they can be purchased from an NPC)
...all in a single table!
Crafting leves and Ishgardian Restoration collectable data is also being displayed side-by-side so you can easily compare them and decide which you'd rather do at any given level:
I'm also highlighting whichever method I think is easier in green over on the left
The guide also includes a full Item List page with details on how to obtain every item in the Miner / Botanist Gathering Logs as well as any other items referenced in this guide:
Lot of plants in this game
There are roughly 1,700 items in this list, and I've personally added and verified all of this data myself over the years.
It's been months since I've last published a big update like this, and I've been extremely hard at work updating it all since 5.1 was released. That patch changed so many things that I basically had to redo half of the guide from scratch.
But I'm in the final phase of updating the guide now, and again, I'm pushing REALLY hard to publish the whole thing on January 1 2020.
After that, I'm going to start making Youtube videos relating to FFXIV, this guide, and a bunch of other video gamey stuff. I've recorded a bunch of Let's Plays and have made hundreds of Youtube videos in the past... and I'm REALLY excited to pick up my old hobby again! ...And I THINK I'm going to do a full Let's Play of FFXIV from beginning to end on a new alt I've made... I think... probably...!
If you have any feedback / questions / comments / whatevers you'd like to share, please feel free! =)
