White and Purple Scrip Farming for Crafting and Gathering

Scrip farming is an important part of crafting and gathering, providing the equivalent to Allgan Tomestones for your DoH/DoL classes.

Scrips come in two forms, the 'leveling' Scrip and the endgame Scrip. Currently, this is White Scrips for leveling and Purple Scrips at endgame. Each expansion the endgame Scrip becomes the leveling Scrip and a new colour is rotated in.

That being said, both Scrips have a range of uses at endgame with the leveling Scrip also providing the majority of your materia for your endgame meld sets.

Crafting and Gathering Scrips have several main uses which are:

• Leveling gear can be purchased with White Scrips and endgame catchup gear can be purchased for Purple Scrips.
• Masterbooks and Folklore tomes to unlock new materials and crafts can be purchased with White Scrips.
• Materials used to craft gear not just for DoH/DoL, but also for DoW/DoM can be purchased with Scrips. Normally one key material each new raid tier.
• Materia used for endgame melds can also be purchased with both types of Scrips. This is the main use for your Scrips.
• Materials used in crafting and gathering relic upgrades are also purchased with Scrips.

Materia is by far your biggest expenditure when it comes to Scrips. Your common endgame crafting melds take hundreds of thousands of Scrips sometimes to complete a meld set. As an example, here are our Indagator's crafting melds:

White Scrips are the only currency available while leveling both your crafting and gathering classes. The main use for Scrips at this point will be to purchase gear at level 60, 70 and 80 to help you progress into the next expansions worth of leveling.

Scrip farming is also a very good source of experience points while you level giving you a 2-for-1. This can make it one of the most efficient leveling methods due to your gear, Masterbooks and even some endgame materia already being handled.

To farm Scrips while you level, you simply want to target the highest level items that you can. If the materials are awkward to obtain feel free to farm a collectable at a lower level instead.

White Scrips are the currency you will mainly use while crafting and gathering. The recommended item to craft at level 90 is Rarefied Draught which gives 198 White Scrips per craft at maximum collectability. All Scrip crafts at the same level range give the same amount of Scrips, but Rarefied Draught has no pre-crafts making it preferred amongst players.

Below is a table for each White Scrip craft at level 89:

Class	Lv89 White Scrip Craft
Carpenter	Rarefied Integral Armillae
Blacksmith	Rarefied Chondrite Culinary Knife
Armorer	Rarefied Chondrite Sollerets
Goldsmith	Rarefied Star Quartz Choker
Leatherworker	Rarefied Ophiotauroskin Top
Weaver	Rarefied AR-Caean Velvet Bottoms
Alchemist	Rarefied Draught
Culinarian	Rarefied Giant Popoto Pancakes

With Gathering Scrips, your best option is Fleeting Brand, which is rod fishing only, but much faster than normal node gathering. This fish can be caught using Versatile Lure in Mare Lamentorum (X:22.7, Y:31).

If you do not have fisher or would like to Scrip farm with Mining & Botany nodes then you just want to hit every White Scrip node available starting with the ones from this expansion . For specific rotations, plese refer to the Gathering Collectable Guide:

Purple Scrips are the other Scrip you will be using while crafting and gathering which focuses more on endgame catchup gear and the highest grade of materia available. The recommended item to craft at level 90 is Sykon Bavarois which gives 144 White Scrips per craft at maximum collectability. All Scrip crafts at level 90 give the same amount of Scrips, but Sykon Bavarois has less pre crafts making it preferred amongst players.

Below is a table for each Purple Scrip craft at level 90:

Class	Lv90 Purple Scrip Craft
Carpenter	Rarefied Integral Fishing Rod
Blacksmith	Rarefied Chondrite Lapidary Hammer
Armorer	Rarefied Chondrite Alembic
Goldsmith	Rarefied Chondrite Needle
Leatherworker	Rarefied Ophiotauroskin Halfgloves
Weaver	Rarefied AR-Caean Velvet Work Cap
Alchemist	Rarefied Ophiotauroskin Magitek Codex
Culinarian	Rarefied Sykon Bavarois

With Gathering Scrips, your best option is Kitefin Shark, which is spear fishing only, but much faster than normal node gathering. This fish is large-sized and also quite slow, making it easy to spear in the waters around The Ruby Sea (X:37, Y:14).

If you do not have fisher or would like to Scrip farm with Mining & Botany nodes then you just want to hit every Purple Scrip node available. For specific rotations, plese refer to the Gathering Collectable Guide:
