DoH Guide for Crafting Master Books 6.5

Once you have reached endgame for any given expansion, you have the opportunity to unlock master recipe books. These contain recipes that are more difficult than the recipes you find in your leveling or housing logs.

These recipes allow you to create items, gear, and consumables that are widely used for entry into endgame raiding or as a means of catching up your gear item level if your gear is not quite adequate. Furthermore, you will also find gear that is necessary for gearing progression on your Disciples of the Hand/Land (DoH/L) classes.

Again, these recipe books are used to help bridge the gap on your gear to help meet the minimum required item level for a given raid or encounter. These master recipe books are also imperative as they contain gear that is used for DoH/L gear. Keep in mind that many of these crafts have a minimum stat requirement to craft.

To help put it into perspective, when you reach any of the endgame levels (e.g., 50/60../90), the first set of gear you can craft at these levels will help you to craft 2* items. As you go forward in the expansion, future recipes will require higher stats that can only be achieved through acquiring scrip gear or gear available from the master recipe books. Additionally, these items can be a good source of gil.

Crafters with the base game have you dealing with an NPC in Mor Dhona, Talan, in order to acquire the Master Recipe books and a wider assortment of goods, such as gear and tools. In order to have access to this NPC, you will first need to achieve level 50 in any Disciple of the Hand or Land class. From here, you can go to Mor Dhona, and locate the Guiding Star NPC (x21.9, y6.9) to complete the quest "Just Tooling Around".

Note: This NPC will require you to present a level 50 or above main-hand tool. Ensure that when you do this quest you have a level 50 tool equipped. You can acquire such a tool with the completion of the class quests, which are highly recommended.

In order to obtain the master recipe books, you will be required to craft specific items to submit to Talan. He is located just by the Guiding Star NPC. You can find a list of all the required items below.

Class	Items Required
Carpenter	Treated Spruce Lumber Reinforced Spruce Plywood
Blacksmith	Darksteel Ingot Balanced Darksteel Hook
Armorer	Darksteel Ingot Reinforced Darksteel Wire
Goldsmith	Rose Gold Ingot Calibrated Rose Gold Cog
Leatherworker	Hard Hippogryph Leather Water-Hardened Hippogryph Strap
Weaver	Vanya Silk Intricate Silver Brocade
Alchemist	Growth Formula Delta Concentrate Concentrated Spirits of Salt

Note: The second item in each class will require the first master recipe book of the appropriate class. So if you can not see these in your log, make sure you use these to see them.

A Realm Reborn also has a few additional books called Master (Class): Demimateria and Master (Class): Glamours. These unlock a range of crafts using Demimateria or unlock additional Glamour options respectively. Each crafting class has their own book.

Master Book	Item Required	Total for all Classes
Glamours	300 Gil	2,400 Gil
Demimateria	1 x Fieldcraft Demimateria I and 1 x Battlecraft Demimateria I	8 x Fieldcraft Demimateria I and 8 x Battlecraft Demimateria I
