I'm not a seasoned crafter, but I know this skill is extremely useful when crafting high-level recipes. I was planning to participate in the Ishgard restoration with a job that I don't usually use. I gathered/bought the mats I needed, I crafted collectables and upgraded the tools via white scrips, and then I sat down and started crafting. To my horror, I got the huge red error message saying Manipulation wasn't a valid skill name or something. I kid you not, I felt like someone had punched me in the gut and I fell into despair and considered giving up (since I'm a bit late to the party as I was working on a different job at the beginning of rankings).
