Leather Head: A guide to leathercrafting: Levels 1-8

So you think your ready? This is going to be a long journey, I won't lie. Just stick with it and you won't regret it!

Sheep Leather - Level 2

Suggested recipe:
Dark Crystal + Sheepskin + Windurstian Tea leaves + Distilled water
alternate recipe:
Dark Crystal + Sheepskin + Willow log+ Distilled water

• The best day to craft with dark crystals is Lightsday or Darksday due to a reduced loss of material and increase in skill gain.
• Face north east during synthesis.
• Tea leaves can by bought from an NPC in windy at 20 gil, a fraction of the cost of a willow log. They can also be acquired by gardening. The tea leaves are the most cost effective option for skilling up.
• Distilled water can be purchased from NPC's for around 11 gil a piece.
  
• Keep the leather for use later.

Leather Bandana - Level 5

Wind Crystal + Sheep Leather

• The best day to craft with wind crystals is Ice day or darksday due to reduced loss of material and increase in skill gain.
• Face East during synthesis.
• These will eventually sell on the auction house though slowly. You can also NPC them for a little over 100 gil.
• You can desynth and resynth these with lightning crystals however, the materials are so cheap that with the cost of lightning crystals coupled with the chance of failure it is not cost effective.
  

Leather Gloves - Level 8

Earth crystal + Grass cloth + Sheep leather (x2)

• The best day to craft with earth crystals is windsday or darksday due to reduced loss of materials and increase in skill gain.
• Faces South east during synthesis.
• These sell a bit better but still slowly.
• Grass Cloth drops from Goblin Weavers, which very low levels and easily farmed.
• Because of the low cost of the materials it is not recommended to use lightning crystals to desynth as they cost more then the product.
  
• These NPC for just under 100 gil.
