Tradecraft leves are the fastest way to level and Disciple of the Hand in Final Fantasy XIV, and that rings true for the Leatherworkers out there just as much as anyone else. Repeatables are but one option of many.
If you happen to be new to this whole repeatable levequest thing, be sure to take a look at my primary Repeatable Tradecraft Leves Guide to get started. It’s not difficult, but there are a few things you will be better knowing going into the “exciting” world of leve-grinding.
The item amounts listed here are the initial order number. You must make and turn in three times the listed amount, and ensure each given item is of high quality to get the most experience possible. Though turning in high quality items is not required, you will get much more XP for your leve allowances doing so.
The listed experience amounts are the bare minimum. Multiple high quality turn-ins will result in 6x the base XP.
(Leves saw some significant changes with the 2.1 patch, including passive nerfs to repeatable/triple tradecraft leves. Check out my 2.1 Tradecraft Leves Guide for information on the changes. You may do better to use my Complete Leatherworker Leves Guide instead because of the increased viability of Constancy and Ingenuity leves.)
