Amateur (1-10)

Synthesis Information
Yield	Requirements	Ingredients
NQ: Sheep Leather	Main Craft: Leathercraft - (2)	Dark Crystal Sheepskin Windurstian Tea Leaves Distilled Water

This synth should be reliably profitable, and the mats are readily available from NPCs. Synth as much of it as you can stand or until you hit 12-13 skill.

NQ: Leather Vest	Main Craft: Leathercraft - (10)	Earth Crystal Leathercraft Kit 10

Use this if you get tired of Sheep Leather and are too low for Leathercraft Kit 15.

Recruit (11-20)

Yield	Requirements	Ingredients
NQ: Lizard Helm	Main Craft: Leathercraft - (15)	Earth Crystal Leathercraft Kit 15
NQ: Fisherman's Boots	Main Craft: Leathercraft - (20)	Earth Crystal Leathercraft Kit 20

Kits are dirt cheap at this low level, so just spam them until you can safely synth Dhalmel Leather.

Initiate (21-30)

NQ: Dhalmel Leather	Main Craft: Leathercraft - (21)	Dark Crystal Windurstian Tea Leaves Dhalmel Hide Distilled Water
NQ: Bugard Leather	Main Craft: Leathercraft - (24)	Dark Crystal Windurstian Tea Leaves Bugard Skin Distilled Water

Cletae sells the materials for these once you've reached the Initiate rank. (You may need to zone to refresh her inventory after ranking up.)

These are both gobbiebag items, so there is a market for singles.

Escutcheon Stage 1

See Escutcheons for an explanation of the process.

For Stage 1, there is no preferred order of operations, since the shield does not yet provide any benefit. However, you may wish to prioritize reaching 100% craftsmanship to eliminate the success rate penalty in case you forget to unequip the shield when synthing for other purposes.

Craftsmanship

Just spam cheap low level synths. You can do a higher level synth if it is profitable, but ideally it should be HQ T3. (Also remember that you will be starting at -30% success rate.)

The craftsmanship rewards will quickly drop to zero for NQ results when spamming a synth, but you can still make respectable progress via HQs and bonus objectives.

Obtaining Craftsman's Crystal: Leathercraft will lower your craftsmanship to 67%, so don't do so until you've accumulated sufficient Crafter Points.

Escutcheon Stage 2

Avoid increasing craftsmanship (as much as possible) until you have completed the rest of this stage, as the success rate penalty starts and 0% and increases with craftsmanship.
