Leves to next tier? The number of (HQ submit) levequests you need to reach the next “tier” (IE 80 to 82, 82 to 84)
Gear, Strategy, ETC
The gear you want is the Landsaint tier – bought at The Crystarium for scrips. Right by the aetheryte, then go to Scrip vendor under Crafter > Handsaint Gear (IL500).
The universal pieces below give more bang for your buck, but you’ll need to shell out for the class specific weapon and off-hand.
| Slot | Item |
| Weapon | Handsaint’s Needle |
| Offhand | Handsaint’s Spinning Wheel |
| Slot | Item |
| Head | Handsaint’s Beret |
| Body | Handsaint’s Jacket |
| Hands | Handsaint’s Fingerless Gloves |
| Legs | Handsaint’s Shoes |
| Feet | Handsaint’s Earrings |
| Earrings | Handsaint’s Necklace |
| Necklace | Handsaint’s Bracelets |
| Ring | Handsaint’s Ring |
| Ring | Handsaint’s Ring |
Leveling DoH has always been, “The slower you go – the cheaper and easier it will be”. Since you have many sources of burst exp.
Custom Deliveries – extremely cheap and extremely powerful, but only reset weekly. Use these when you feel like the current tier is a pain!
Loporrit Beast Tribe – Easy, cheap and great EXP. Resets daily.
GC Submissions – daily, and give a gigaton of EXP, far outweighs levequests. Maximize these as long as you can!
Levequests – your “main” source of EXP. Not infinite, but this is considered the “Standard Baseline” of DoH EXP gains. Gotta balance between the EXP of the levequest vs your budget.
Collectables – The “lower end” of EXP gains, but the upside is you can do them infinitely. The EXP per Gil ratio here is by far the worse, but sometimes you gotta do them to get little bits of EXP here and there. Always look out for “bargains”. Typically, the cost of a collectible is its main factor as the EXP different doesn’t really matter since you can spam them.
Grinding – great to just gain EXP and Gil, since you can easily sell levequest items, or other “ingots” (cloth, thread). Great for “afk” play.
Food buff gives 3% EXP, so try to have it on!
Withiout further ado – let’s do this.
SCROLL TO – WVR Level: [80-82][82-84][84-86][86-88][88-90]
A speacial note on Weaver in Endwalker:
Historically Weaver seems best to use Burst EXP sources – Why?
Because back in the day you needed THREAD to make CLOTH.
It’s no longer the case – you make cloth straight from the “grass”.
Try to “remove it from your mind” that cloth is a pain in the ***.
You had to craft some threads to then craft 1x cloth – which WAS painful.
Weaver Level 80 to 82
Here’s the two rotations you should start with!
WVR L80 Initial Rotations
While the 80 Durability Rotation “needs” to be updated later at 86, (and another recipe is needed for ONLY L89 recipes), the 40 Durability Rotation can be used during the whole leveling process.
Limitation: Do not try to craft “too high compared to your level” with this. +2 Levels should be fine, but why even try… Just stick to the things in your tier. This is a pretty basic TRUE 100% “Mahiko San Tricks” rotation. Meaning, it will never ever land a Poor on Byregot’s.
/ac Reflect <wait.3> /ac Manipulation <wait.2> /ac "Waste Not" <wait.2> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Tricks of the Trade" <wait.3> /ac "Great Strides" <wait.2> /ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3> /ac Veneration <wait.2> /ac Groundwork <wait.3> /ac Groundwork <wait.3> /ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3> /ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
This one I’m proud of, it’s a TRUE 100% “Mahiko San Tricks” rotation that WORKS ON EVERY ENDWALKER 40 DUR (while leveling up). It accounts for the oddly levelled L85 ALC “ingots” (Moon Gel, Sungold Firesand), and works on pre-86 Groundwork trait.
It has ONE fail case – crafting WAY above your level. So be careful making
Moon Gel 85, when you’re like L81 (but it works at 82)
/ac Reflect <wait.3> /ac Manipulation <wait.2> /ac Innovation <wait.2> /ac "Waste Not" <wait.2> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3> /ac "Tricks of the Trade" <wait.3> /ac "Great Strides" <wait.2> /ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3> /ac Veneration <wait.2> /ac Groundwork <wait.3> /ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3> /echo Craft finished <se.1>
So, this is a godly rotation that’s good ALL THE WAY

| Ingredients | 1 | Dwarven Cotton |
Fingerless Darkhempen Gloves of Healing (Helping Handwear) is the “better levequest”, it needs only 6.5 Leves (HQ) to reach the next tier, WVR L82. As Compared to Dark Hempen Cloth (Heavy Armoire) which needs 8.39 Leves (HQ). 935,000 XP vs. 724,620 XP.
Obviously the gloves are the better leve, but the cloth is a great option if you’re on a budget!
Weaver’s collectable in the L80 tier is Rarefied Darkhempen Hat. Needs 11.53 submissions to reach the next tier (as an easy way to compare to Leves). Gives 1055241 EXP at max collectability.
Meh… all the collectables in this tier use 2 cloths. I don’t like collectables for Weaver this time around.
WVR L80 tier – what to do
Not much choices here. Choose whichever levequest you like, preferably the hat if you can afford it.

Almasty Serge Coat of Healing (Color Coated) is the “better levequest”, it needs only 4.47 Leves (HQ) to reach the next tier, WVR L84. As Compared to Almasty Serge Hat of Casting (Hot Heads) which needs 6.72 Leves (HQ). 1,582,910 XP vs. 1,051,810 XP.
The coat gives a godly amount of EXP – every other leve should only be considered if saving costs. Curiously, the old “budget leve” of 3 Dark Hempen Cloths might be more tedious / expensive and less leve efficient that this single godly submission. Again, all about costs.
Weaver’s collectable in the L82 tier is Rarefied Almasty Serge Gloves. Needs 11.48 submissions to reach the next tier (as an easy way to compare to Leves). Gives 1232055 EXP at max collectability.
Nothing to say here… I don’t favor the Weaver collectables this tier.
WVR L82 tier – what to do
It’s gonna be hard to beat Color Coated in terms of pure value and leve efficiency – only avoid it if somehow Dark Hempen cloth is MUCH CHEAPER, and you’re swimming in leves.

These are just run of the mill options – the previous tiers Color Coated gives more EXP!

Unless these are considerably cheaper and budget is a concern for you, continue with good ‘ol Color Coated L82 Leve.

Make sure you update your rotation ASAP!
L86 Rotation Update (80 Durability only)
This rotation is future proof up to L88, and is still TRUE 100% “Mahiko San Tricks” up to that point. It’s also shorter! L86 gives a trait that buffs Groundwork, so we have to use that instead of the double Synthesis going forward.

The gaskins are amazing – 1.9m base EXP is ALOT, finally dethroning Color Coated. The EXP on the beret is actually not bad all things considered.

Lightening Up is the new king of levequests for you. But at 2x leathers, 2x cloths and 2x Alkahest – the prince might be steep. Feel free to backtrack other leves if budget is an issue.

a wh0le 2.2 million EXP for one levequest. That’s gargantuan. Half a million base EXP at the low cost of “2 extra Alkahest” is worth it.

WVR L88 tier – what to do
At this point, you have many choices for giga-leves with 1.5m / 1.7m / 1.9m / 2.2m levequests. Choose one that best fits your budget. Of course, A Better Bottom Line from this tier is the most leve efficient.

This is the Weaver’s leveling guide, but it says “Culinarian Leveling Guide”. I think a copy/pasta type occurred, JSYK.
How the title changed is beyond me… There was a funky thing i removed that managed titles for me and this bug probably occured because of that. Thanks!!!
All of the items for the 50-60 quests are wrong
Wow, they changed HW tier class quest items? I will be overhauling these coming Endwalker so thanks for the heads up!
Greatly appreciated, but has no one noticed the title is CULINARIAN Leveling [sic] Guide?
I thought my search engine had a bug! ;)
Spent too long trying to figure out what PDO stands for. Once I found the only other plausible reference via Google, I couldn’t believe that I had just wasted the time. For anyone wondering, PDO stands for “poor, desperate, or overcapped (this word was created by someone who doesn’t understand English well enough),” but please correct me if I am wrong. Despite this, I appreciate the guides tremendously.
:)
just a small note,the triple turn in on level 70 leves is “turban in training” not “lovely leggings”,you might want to make an edit :P
[H][R] 3(9)x Woolen Smock: Triples are both sucky.
^ This has been changed and its 1 per instead of 3
It’s actually do-able either purchasing these armor from NPC or crafting yourself.
Is the formatting for the 71-80 Shadowbringers section of Weaver a complete mess for anyone else?
None of the drop down sections with the + mark work (‘I’m desperate: yellow scrip gear?’ and ‘Cross-class skills’ for example) and the some of the mini sections with grey backgrounds seem empty, like the ‘Macro 1 Macro 2 Success Rates’ part. I’ve tried this site in multiple browsers and they all have the same problem, but the rest of the guide from 1-70 and the other jobs’ guides are fine.
Doing some updates on the back-end, so things might seem a little messed up for a bit. It should resolve very soon.
Everything seems back to normal. Nice one, and keep up the great work!
Good guides as always. The only suggestion I would throw out there for folks when they first hit 70 is to use the level 70 scrip (350) gear to start off. The gear is cheap enough and the custom deliveries will provide all of the scrips you could need for purchasing the gear. The stats are quite as good as the crafted gear listed in the guide, but close enough for a cheaper alternative (imho).
This is correct! The yellow scrip gear has its own section, but I should make the point more “known”. I recommend the left-side and weapon if you can afford it.
Hallu, thanks for the guide on Weaver. I just hit 55 on my Weaver and got the biggest value collectable. Ramie Cloth, which is easy af to craft. Basically as easy to collect as Birch Syrup for Culinarian. So yeah, there IS a good weaver collectable unexpectedly.
Appears that the Weaver Leves list at the top of the page points to armorsmith list
fixed! thanks!
Weaver Level 20 to 25
[L][R] 3(9)x Cotton Coif of Gathering: Highly recommended.
Do not recommend :( i just made 20 only to discover that the triple now only gives 5Kish exp where the singles give around 12-13K
One thing that can salvage weaver is doing the Moogle beast tribe quests daily, they give roughly a half a level worth of exp at level 52 when you do all 3 plus it unlocks that beast tribe vendor.
Heya,
nice guide, if I may say so, helped me alot :)
Just wanted to mention this, in the rotation-macro for the 40DUR Rotation, use:
/ac “Master’s Mend”
It makes the rotation smoother, I know, is too short, but 3 is too long, 2.5 fits in perfectly and feels “better” to see it xD. It’s just a minor thing and not a “must”, but it has a better flow :)
wait a second intervals of 0.5 are possible now!?
I have a couple of newbish questions and hopefully someone can answer them for me :D
1. Why not use Waste Not II in the rotation instead of using Waste Not I? I mean I think I see why you use it and if its because you get more out of it then waste not II then ignore my question haha
2. Also on your melds, I see cheap meld 1 and cheap meld 2. Is that meant for to be picked on wether you want cheap meld 1 or cheap meld 2 or is that what both sockets should be used for? I hope I was clear on that question. So if I used the first socket for cheap meld 1 would I use the next socket for cheap meld 2? If there isnt a socket then I should overmeld it? Just want to make sure I wasn’t over thinking this at all. Which I usually do!!
Thanks for an awesome site and great guides :D
Waste not II isn’t bad, it’s just much easier to make a more flexible rotation with WN1. Cheapmeld 1 and 2 is for sockets! And yes if there isn’t a socket overmeld it. Remember to use frumenty for the +10cp while leveling to help reach the CP caps.
What do the numbers in “Best?” mean? I can’t find anywhere what your model of reference is, so I don’t know which is the best option for each tier, if 3 or 1.
1 is best, 3 is worst but there are times they just all suck
Thank you!
You have a few places on this page where you reference ARM instead of WVR.
Thanks
edited! thanks for pointing it out!
On the 64 – 70 Section when you’re talking about the optional 64 rotation, there is still a mistake referring to WVR (not having the name of lightening skill) instead of ARM i am assuming.
If you’re referring to the cross-class section, I admittedly have to choose ONE of the elements… but yes name/brands are interchangeable and I’ll have a look at what you’re sayin
He’s reffering to the [Optional rotation Lv64 4oDUR]:
“THIS CERTAIN “MACRO” HAS NAME AND BRAND OF FIRE. PLEASE ADJUST IT TO YOUR CLASS. CUL AND WVR HAVE NO BRAND OR NAME SKILL SO CROSS CLASS ANY ONE OF ‘EM.”
Which is not true, WVR has brand/name of lightning, I think you mean GSM has none (and CUL).
And thanks for all the effort you put into this wonderful guide, I’ve been using it a lot!
hey, i think most (if not all) of the shopping list items for the beginning of this guide can be bought from the generic material suppliers found in housing districts
so if your FC has a house with one of those merchants that might be a more convenient place to shop than running around between 3 npcs
Great suggestion, and I think that is definitely true! I wonder if the same applies to the general housing merchant…
I managed to level from 56 to 60 in about 6 hours by handing in collectible ramie cloths. Perhaps not the fastest way but buying stalks of ramie and collecting my own flax only cost me about 60-70k to get those last 4 levels. Whilst using engineering manual II’s and food buffs.
Ramie Cloth AS A COLLECTIBLE? or Leve? Hmm.. This could be something applied in never patches…
It’s in a newer patch. It only gives 10 blue scrip and 110k exp. But if you compare the prices of some of the leve items and mats, it’s a great value. Not sure if it’s Ramie Cloth all the time, but I can let you know!
Yes please, I’ll keep an eye out as well!
I’m not seeing a gear update still? That would be very helpful, I’m pretty (totally goddamn) lost when it comes to melds, I never had a 50 crafter pre-3.0, and my wvr is now 56 and still rocking a few 50 equips.
I’m not sure if it’s fastest, but I found it really easy between 56-58 to spam the collectable for ramie cloth. Not only are the mats easily obtainable, it also gives scrips to start you off (to get the WVR masterbook for 58-60). Crawler silk is just too expensive on my server
I followed all the steps to level Weaving from 1-15 and all it BARELY got me to level 14. I have no clue where you guys got this idea of your method getting someone to 15 LET ALONE 15++. Not only did I follow every step (including the scroll), but i also used an EXP helm from 1-11 and i ate and orange for another 3% EXP and still I was only able to just hit 14.
I’m confused why you would go Holy Rainbow Apron for your 52-54 option? It requires 1 less Cloth and 1 less Wyvern leather, sure, but you have to make two of them for the hand in, and have to submit twice to get the same XP as the Holy Rainbow Sarouel of Casting, meaning 4 aprons (8 cloth 4 thread) vs 1 sarouel (3 cloth, 1 thread, 1 leather) for the same xp. Unless wyvern leather is prohibitively expensive and difficult to get for you, I can’t see why this would be the better option.
In the tier 56 to 58 the hallowed ramie sash of casting is quite good on my server, because you get them from a npc quite cheap (11k Gil)
The mats for crawler silk and crawler silk itself is far too expensive (mats: 18k gil for 1!, Crawler Silk: 22k)
Nice thing to keep an eye out for!
The Ixal Deliverance quest is also a good thing to do daily. The quest itself doesn’t give much exp, but HQ item turn-ins do.
Haha, yes. Deliverance isn’t so bad.
I prefer to do the Leve “Felt for the Fallen” from 58 to 60. 198,778 exp for 3 Chimerical Felt. It will take 20 leve allowances and a total of 60 normal quality Chimerical Felt to go from level 59 to 60. A little less than double that for 58 to 60. I hate farming Deepeye Tears (I find the other mats trivial for the dissolvents) which is why I choose the leve over crafting any type of gear (collectable or not).
To help those who choice to do the healer or caster corsets: Mogpoms are 100% catch in the Greensward of Churning Mist (8,34) with Goblin Jig. (used in making Intellect Dissolvent). Flying is required to reach here. and you need to be 58FSH to use the Jig. Blue Cloud Coral is caught in “Cloudtop” fishing hole in Sea of Clouds (15,38). Level 51 Fishing, use a Red Balloon, turn on SNAGGING!!!
Aye, Felt for the Fallen is definitely what I recommend as well.
!!! ALL COMMENTS BELOW ARE PRE-HEAVENSWARD 3.0 !!!
Just gotta add. Since latest patch. Handing in 3 HQ items 3 Times only gives 100% bonus EXP. Courier quests are by far the faster (And cheaper) way of leveling now.
100% is truth across ALL leve types now. However, courier becomes extremely painful in the level 35+ range (no aetheryte)
[C]ourier Leves: Levemete is from the [H]ometown, to be submitted to the [L]ocal Levemete. I’m confused on what that means. Read info below.
Level 40 WVR Leves [L]ocation: Coerthas (Whitebrim) | Ul’dah
Level 40 Weaver Leves Items Discussion:
[H][3] Linen Deerstalker
Where do I go to obtain that leve? I don’t see it in Whitebrim.
Every tier has ONE levequest which ORIGINATE from (lets say in weavers example) Ul’dah, and is submitted to the level-specific levemete in another town. For example, Level 45 courier quests would take you from Uldah to St. Coincachs.
I can’t find full moon fever levequest in ul’dah, and I’m a level 45 weaver.
Try looking in St. Coinachs find, Mor Dhona?
For the first part you tell us the shopping list but don’t tell us what to make with it…what am I suppose to craft with those items?
“Below is a list of items needed to complete your crafting log from L1: Hempen Yarn – L15: Cotton Shepherd Slops.”
It’s above the list
Just used this 1st part of the guide in patch 2.2 and I was already lvl 7, with the boos. After I finished wasn’t even close to lvl 15 :( about 13 and a half.. don’t think I did anything wrong. did I miss something?
Same here.
Nothing wrong. I just think this guide is out of date, or forgetting to mention something.
I found that increasing the quality of an item gave extra xp, so it’s something I did as soon as I could, but I still fell short of 15. I’m just QSing cotton yarn for the remaining level I’m missing.
GC engineering scroll wasnt used, maybe?
Dunno about earlier posters, but I just finished 1-15 craft logs and even did the first two crafts in the 15-20 log, all while using the GC Engineering Scroll, and making sure to go for as much HQ as I can on each and every craft… and it got me halfway through level 14.
Something is definitely up with the guide. =/
Just noticed a typo – Quarrymill is in South Shroud and Costa del Sol is in Eastern La Nocsea. :)
hmmm.. not a typo! It means there are [L]ocal leves in Quarrymill and Costa, and the [H]ome leves from Ul’dah are still available!
Where is the linen smock quest? I couldn’t find the location…
linen smock is a single leve obtained and submitted in Ul’Dah.
Fleece only costs 41 gill each on my server now (about the same amount as the flax I bought when I was still leveling weaving a few months ago), thanks to overfarming and bots, so I guess weaving just became easier on my server, at least.
Yes, fleece and diremite webs price have dropped since this writing! Is it a permanent thing? Something due to bots offloading for housing gil? I’ll wait a few days before i adjust this guide for that anomaly! :D
In the 35-40 tier, I would say that the single turn in for Linen Cowl is cheaper than the triple Linen Tights. Sure the cowl is 4 cloth, but 3 Tights is 6 cloth. Also factor in that the Cowl is 40kish exps, vs. 23kish exps and really, the only thing you are saving by doing the triple turn in is leve allowances. if you have plenty of allowances saved up, then the Cowl is far more efficient.
Because if you turn in HQ items that triple could give you 136k -ish XP for one leve. For the amount of XP you can get that is the better choice.
This is superb, thank you for spending the time to compile and write this up.
Will this guide be useable in 2.1?
We will see what changes today, but it should still be relevant!
