Crafts

Category:Terminology
Vana'diel contains a number of crafting guilds which players can join in order to craft (or fish) various items. There are also a number of Hobbies which players can utilize to obtain materials to aid in these crafts.
Alchemy 	 	Bonecraft 	 	Clothcraft
Craft often used to create enhancing and enfeebling potions, healing medicines, enfeebling weapons, and Ninjutsu tools.	 	Craft which works with bones to create moderately heavy armor and a wide variety of ammunition and jewelry.	 	Craft which works with natural threads to craft lightweight armor and capes often used by magicians.
Cooking 	 	Fishing 	 	Goldsmithing
Craft which combines ingredients to make a wide variety of tasty and enhancing meals. 	 	Craft which seeks to catch the fish from the oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, streams and ponds of Vana'diel. 	 	Craft which works with precious gems and metals to create beautiful jewelry and glittering armor.
Leathercraft 	 	Smithing 	 	Woodworking
Craft which works with animal hides to craft medium-weight and versatile armor. 	 	Craft which reformulates raw ores into usable ingredients for making heavy armor and weapons. 	 	Craft which uses lumber found around Vana'diel to craft a variety of weapons, shields, ammunition and Mog House furniture.
==Relations Between Crafts Above Skill Level 60==
After you hit level 60 you get 40 levels to distribute among the other crafts you also have above level 60. Meaning you can get every single craft up to 60 without any issues, but post 60 you have 40 levels to distribute.
The only exception to this rule is Fishing. You can level Fishing to 100, all the rest of the crafts to 60, and still have the 40 points left to distribute as you want.
If you raise a craft skill past 60, after already having 40 levels distributed to other crafts above 60, the level of the crafts already above 60 will decrease.
In other words, other than fishing, you can get one other craft to 100 while the other crafts will default to 60.
