Leatherworker is useful for making armor for adventurers as well as crafting gear. Bards and monks especially benefit from having someone who is a leatherworker because they can make a lot of battlecraft gear and armor for them. To craft items, you can check your crafting log and choose an item appropriate for your level. A check mark will appear next to the item you have successfully crafted. Wind and earth shards are heavily used in leatherworker so having botanist and miner leveled will help gather those for your crafting. You can also buy basic materials at lower levels from the guild supplier. For more advanced items you will need to have certain crafting jobs and both gathering jobs unlocked. You can also shop around for needed items on the market boards. Remember, take your time when shopping on the market boards in order to get the best deal for your supplies.

In order to craft an item, use your set of skills. Skills such as steady hand will help you craft steadily without breaking any materials. Masters mend will repair item durability while you are crafting to ensure that you complete a finished item without synthesis failure. Leatherworker skills take time and patience, but when you do it right crafting is a cinch.

Armor and tradecraft gear is not the only thing you can make on leatherworker. You can also make housing items such as furniture and outdoor items. Housing items are a little more difficult to make, but they are worth it because you can make quite a bit of gil on the market boards with them. Just remember to use your skills as necessary, be patient, and you will be able to craft them easily.

Another thing you can do to craft is something called quick synthesis. Quick synthesis allows you to make multiples of one item as long as you have all the materials for it. For example, if you want to craft two headpieces, you can do that with quick synthesis. From your crafting log, select the quick synthesis tab and enter the amount of the item you wish to make. This is a fast way to make something, but be warned that it does not ensure that you will automatically have a high quality item and for more challenging items you may have one or two failures.

For all of your crafting needs, food can be a great booster. This is where culinarian comes in handy because there are a ton of dishes that can boost things such as crafstmanship and control points which can help with your crafting a lot. For my leatherworker I like to use baked onion soup because it enhances crafstmanship and I can use multiple servings depending on how long I want to craft.

As with the other crafting jobs, when you hit certain levels you will be able to do a job specific quest which you get from the guild master NPC Geva. You will have to use your leatherworker skills to craft the item that she requests and present it to her. When you complete the quest, you will receive an upgraded leatherworker tool for your level and your choice of job specific gear with stats on it that help enhance your crafting skills.

Leatherworker is not just useful, it is fun to craft with. There is a vast variety of items you can craft ranging from armor to housing items. It complements really well with jobs like carpenter and blacksmith which opens up even more crafting options. If you're interested in trying it out, head to Gridania and visit the Leatherworker's guild and start crafting. See you at the next adventure!
