Crafting Leves Optimizer

Crafting leves are the fastest way to level a Disciple of the Hand — if you turn in items you bought cheap. This tool prices every craft leve's turn-in live and ranks them by EXP per gil spent (power-leveling) and by gil profit.

Buy the turn-in, skip the craft

You don't have to craft the leve item yourself — if someone's selling it cheaper than it costs to make, just buy it and hand it in. The tool compares each leve's turn-in cost on your market board against its rewards so you can see when that's worth it.

Two ways to sort

"EXP per 1,000 gil" finds the cheapest levels for power-leveling a crafter; "gil profit" finds leves whose gil reward beats the turn-in cost outright. Filter by job and level to match where you are.

HQ doubles the reward

Turning in a high-quality item doubles both the gil and EXP a leve gives. The figures shown are the NQ base — HQ roughly halves the effective cost-per-EXP again.

FAQ

What are the best crafting leves in FFXIV?

The cheapest to complete for the EXP they give — which depends on live turn-in prices on your world. The optimizer ranks every craft leve by EXP-per-gil and by gil profit for your server.

Do I have to craft the leve item myself?

No. Many players buy the turn-in item off the market board when it's cheaper than crafting it. The tool shows the live buy cost of each leve's turn-in so you can decide.

Should I turn in HQ or NQ for leves?

HQ turn-ins double the gil and EXP, so HQ is far more efficient when you can get it cheaply. The rankings show the NQ base; HQ improves every number.
