User:Epictaru/Sandbox/Yuna's Guide to Smithing

[Guide] Smithing to 110 by EpicTaru

Do not expect to make any gil using this guide. This guide is meant to just skill up quickly and either A.) Sell the crafted items to NPC shops or B.) Hope that the AH-Bot buys back your item. Most of the items I will be listing have a 4-5 level gap in them. In the case of a having a gap of greater than 5 levels, having Advanced Synthesis Support is a must. You will not get any skill-ups for any breaks if you are more than 5 levels under the skill level of the synth! All recipe items listed below can either be bought from shops/guilds an/or obtained by farming them. Buy the crystals/clusters on the AH or farm them in Sky/Sea. NPCs listed were based on cost then proximity from the primary guild location, if they aren't already guild NPCs.
