[60-64] [64-70] | [70-80] | [80-90] | [90-100]
Leatherworker Level 35-40
Level 35 Leatherworker Class Quest Item: (HQ) Boarskin Ringbands
Level 35 LTW Leves [L]ocation: Coerthas (Observatorium) | Gridania
Level 35 Leatherworker Leves Items Discussion:
[H][R] 5(15)x Boar Leather: Both triples are good.
[H] 1x Peisteskin Crakows: Not the best choice in this tier.
[C] 1x Boarskin Ringbands: Really cheap. Worth the travel. Value.
[L][R] 3(9)x Boarskin Choker: Both triples are good. Use NQ Leathers here.
[L] 1x Fingerless Peisteskin Gloves: Probably the best single leve in this tier
[L] 1x Boarskin Harness: No value at all.
Lots of choices here. Boarskin Choker is best. If you feel like staying in Gridania, Boarskin Ringbands are fine, too. And of course the usual leather option. (Boar Leather)
If Grinding: Attempt for as many HQ Boar Leather / HQ Peiste Leather / HQ Raptor Leather. (Boar & Peiste Leather are still used in the next tier…)
Leatherworker Level 40-45
Level 40 Leatherworker Class Quest Item: (HQ) Boarskin Smithy Gloves
Level 40 LTW Leves [L]ocation: Coerthas (Whitebrim) | Gridania
Level 40 Leatherworker Leves Items Discussion:
[H][1]
[C][1] Boarskin Culottes – Courier. A bit expensive but worth the exp.
[L][1]
[L][5] Pieste Leather – Best choice but difficult to HQ by yourself.
[L][1] Boarskin Moccasins – Not bad.
A weird/sucky tier. Boarskin Moccasins are pretty good and neutrally priced. The Peiste Leather option isn’t bad if you can HQ them. If you’re saving money you can go for the courier, which is probably worth it in this tier.
If Grinding: Try making a number of HQ Raptor Leather.
Leatherworker Level 45-50
Level 45 Leatherworker Class Quest Item: (All HQ) Fingerless Raptorskin Gloves, Raptorskin Targe, Raptorskin Choker
Level 45 LTW Leves [L]ocation: Mor Dhona | Gridania
Level 45 Leatherworker Leves Items Discussion:
[H][3]
[C][1] Raptorskin Artisan’s Belt – Courier. Not too bad expense wise.
[L][5] Raptor Leather – Best choice but difficult to HQ by yourself.
[L][1] Hunting Moccasins – USES BOAR LEATHER so it’s not a bad choice.
[L][1]
Raptor Leather and Hunting Moccasins clearly win in this tier. There are some key materials that make the others expensive, but check prices to make sure.
If Grinding: Raptor Leather, or any high level leve item.

Just wondering if you will update the DoH class quest item reference for level 63 and above? Maybe compile it in one section like you did for level 1 – 50?
Class Quest items in Stormblood onwards aren’t “true items” anymore.
You might want to amend in some way the LTW HW quest item. The actual recipe name is the “Chivalric Longcoat of Aiming”. The autofill name at Gamer Escape *is* “Chivalric Battlecoat of Aiming” (and your link redirects to the Gamer Escape main page, looks like xovdb.com is gone but redirecting there). But, again, anyone just looking for the recipe in their LTW Master 3 book will find “longcoat”, not “battlecoat”.
Note that you cannot just cut and paste the macros–whatever publishing software is being used replaces single and double quotes with ones that are “prettier”, but which don’t work
They should be “fixed”? Care to chime in?
The ‘Swallowskin Shoes of Healing’ lvl78 triple leve give 7,019,030 exp per hand in. As everyone else says too; these guides are the best. I love DoH and DoL but I’m honestly not sure if I’d still play FFXIV if it wasn’t for your help breaking through the grind.
As a new player. All these acronyms in these guides make them useless to me. Just tell me what to kill and where to farm the materials.
Which acronyms are these?
I tried using this but I couldn’t follow it. I have no idea where to even start looking at the LTW 1 LEVE with something called The Bannock? I couldn’t find a Bannock anywhere on the gridania map. Where are we supposed to go to find the leve quests? The quest giver in the leatherworking place has a red mark over its head.
First off I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I’d
like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear
your head prior to writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my
thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to
15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas
or tips? Cheers!
Oh man, I really don’t know… It takes practice though I’ve been doing it for years haha – but I always want to improve. My methods back then differ greatly from now. My only suggestion is to BEGIN somewhere, and remember to improve upon your tactics every so often! PM me on Tonberry – Mahiko San, if you wanna talk about it!
You deserve a kudos for this guide, most are boring as hell to read, and tedious to remember, this is written in a way that gamers will find both amusing and informative, good job *insert a thumbs up emoji here, cus why the hell not*
Just a small correction, for the level 64 leve quests Tiger Leather and Tigerskin boots are swapped. Tigerskin boots are actually for the single turn in Shoe on the other foot, and Tiger Leather is used for the Triple Turn in Tiger in the Sack.
Thanks for the heads up!
Even better.
For the ltw from lvl 56 you can turn in Dhalmel leather as collectable… imo, it’s the cheapest way to lvl up from 56 to 60. (Also happens with other jobs, like the WVR with Ramie cloth)
You get a bunch of dhalmel hides from reatiner and the dark chestnut logs gathered from forelands… then it’s just 2 or 3 hours of crafting with macros. (I used the 2.0 bis and the blue scrips chest)
This is value. Is it 100% chance? This didn’t appear in the list back then, although a lot of the “ingots” appear these days.
this is a basic shopping list for the recipes 1-15, feel free to use it to update your page

Thank you mizuki, this is one of the things I’ve been struggling to update given the amount of updates I have to do. I’ll integrate this once I test and format the guides to the “new standard”! Thank you!
ALL COMMENTS BELOW ARE PRE-HEAVENSWARD!!!!
For the 25-30 there is the leve “Campaign in the Membrane” with Toadskin Jacket being handed in
The courier and local leves at 35 are mixed up; the courier leve requests boarskin ringband while the local leve “Soft Shoe Shuffle” requires the peisteskin crakows
You absolutely need to update this and fix this, it’s been over a year since Katherine pointed out the Hard Leather Cesti bit and you haven’t done anything about it.
I might have just forgotten about it. I will update it today!
I don’t really understand the automatic hostility towards precursor leves. I can understand how they -can- be expensive, but out of hand? The level 25 leve for Padded Leather Duckbills is made completely out of vendor items. In a set of leves full of Aldgoat leather, expensive items from other tradeskills, and generally simply not things that can be obtained from a vendor, the Padded Leather Duckbills are far and away the cheapest option there, even if consuming more shards than the other ones.
Now that would completely depend on server prices and may fluctuate greatly. Like mentioned in all guides please use discretion. This block of text isn’t the LAW, but truly a GUIDE. As such, your input is appreciated and may provide insight for others in the future.
The recommendations are the “likely” cheapest given many factors :)
This one and a lot of guides here are just bad and need to reworked. So many instances where it rejects a leve because an item may be expensive/difficult to craft while at the same time suggesting to do the actual expensive (and tedious with minimal reward) repeatable leves. About the only thing they’re good for is a reference for which are the courier leves because that’s gonna be the best and fastest exp, but even then the information is inaccurate in places, like the 35-40 courier which actually asks for Boarskin Ringbands. A comment mentioned it but I didn’t look down to read it and I had already wasted time and leves making crakows before realizing the error.
COURIER will ALWAYS yield the highest exp.. what’s the sacrifice? Time. At level 35+, courier can take a looooooooong while due to travelling.
Level 45-50… you can buy the raptorskin atisians belt in st. Coinach find for less than 4k.
Still costly but not a bad thing to do in a bind!
Boarskin Ringbands is actually a courier leve from Gridania to Coerthas.
Just a heads up about the level 20 leves: the Hard Leather Cesti is made using ALDGOAT Leather, NOT Hard Leather as the name might imply. Aldgoat Leather has to be crafted and cannot be obtained from NPCs AFAIK. So this might affect which leve is best for this leveling stretch.
Otherwise, this guide is very useful. Thanks so much for posting it!
