Blacksmithing 15-50 via Levequests
This method will get you from 15-50 using HQ turn-ins for Levequests. Also included are all mats needed for the Blacksmith class quests from 1-50 and mats needed for crafting the Blacksmith specific level 50 gear (jewelry and waist not included as they are not class specific).
Grab a level 50 Blacksmith friend to make this easier! XP for crafting the items yourself is not considered since it is assumed you will be using a friend. If you choose to craft items yourself you may need significantly fewer turn-ins to reach the next set of items.
***All of this information can be obtained at craftingasaservice.com. I am attempting to provide in one place the information and materials needed for one specific path. It may not be the best path for all users, but hopefully some will find this guide takes the guesswork out of leveling Blacksmith!***
Most quests included herein require traveling, but are aimed at providing the most XP per set of five levels. If you are concerned about the costs for teleporting, please consider the gil made from the levequests will more than pay for your teleports. Also consider setting involved locations as favorites to cut costs in half. Use Return when available, and if you use an authenticator and have the free port option available, by all means use it!
Number of turn-ins may vary slightly depending on starting XP and other factors. Numbers should be accurate +/-1 turn-in.
Questions, comments and corrections are welcome!
